nobody talks about how ugly taking care of yourself can be
yes, sometimes it’s taking a warm bath and texting memes to friends and keeping an aesthetically pretty journal.
sometimes it’s crying silently on your couch at 3am, hugging yourself and reminding yourself that you’re a good person.
self care is not always ‘aesthetic’ and cute…and that’s ok. don’t be embarrassed, just do what you need to do.
why do people still make fun of triggers. like how obvious do you have to be with your hatred of ptsd sufferers and ppl with MIs as a whole lmao
oh also autistic people. ppl with autism can be triggered too. in fact the word “trigger” is used by actual psychologists so don’t even fucking try to say that its just “a tumblr thing” you absolute shitheel
Blame tumblr for making people no longer take it seriously. They turned it into a joke.
and how, exactly? cause some people have “weird” triggers like eyes or food? triggers can be literally anything because the brain is unpredictable, especially with MI/neurodivergent folks. and said triggers could be linked to past trauma they’ve endured, hence the mention of PTSD. i literally cannot hear anyone raise their voice in a certain tone or else it triggers a breakdown(or worse) in me due to the abuse ive endured in early childhood. is that weird? is that a joke?
triggers aren’t a fucking joke.
not one single person who has to suffer from ptsd or trauma has ever turned it into a joke. it’s all been neurotypical able bodied people who think its funny to make fun of those who have triggers or experience flashbacks. tumblr didnt force anyone to suddenly stop taking this shit seriously, a bunch of awful oppressive people just decided it’d be amusing to turn us and our abuse/experiences into a joke simply because they may not understand it themselves, or bc our coping techniques may seem “ridiculous” in their eyes. it’s never been us. it will never be us. it’s not funny living like this.

You can be depressed and not feel sad or blue. Depression can also be a haze of sleepiness, distractedness/obsessiveness cycles, and a twinge of irritability that can be hard to recognize because you might already be a “fiery” person. It can feel like a lazy Sunday that keeps imposing itself for weeks or months.
Well shit, son. This is my life
This is difficult to explain to people who haven’t lived through clinical depression. I find it almost impossible to describe the strangeness of the experience but this post came close to hitting the mark, as far as I’m concerned.
Most people believe the misconception that depression is simply prolonged “sadness” and don’t even know that physical symptoms even occur.
What was it like to fall in love?
my name, safe behind the perfect row of his teeth
carefully tugged under his tongue
the vowels easy on his lips
-
b l i s s
-
white sheets and no apologies
What was it like to fall out of love?
seeing him without his mask
-
unspoken truths hidden behind closed doors
memories that appear and disappear in a violent blur
my voice broken, my mouth wide open in a silent scream
-
raw knees and bleeding knuckles from hanging on to this nightmare
-
waiting for the bruise to fade
- Have you ever really loved someone so much you actually rip yourself apart? | r.m
