Mental Illnesses Aren't Real

You’re sad a lot? Character trait. Your mood changes quickly? Character trait. You don’t have much social skills? Character trait. The world is not design to accommodate to such traits, therefore we classify people who have such traits as “ill” and we pump them with medication. Everybody is different and there’s nothing wrong with it. Sure, the world will never be able to please everybody. But there’s so many different lifestyles to choose from, there’s something for pretty much everyone.

Physical illnesses aren’t real. There’s just different body types. You have a deadly tumor? Body type. Your body doesn’t produce enough insulin? Body type. You have a huge painful rash? Body type.

How can hallucinations be character traits? I mean i’m pretty sure that no matter which ~lifestyle i choose~ i’ll still suffer from it. Spend a day in a mentally ill person’s shoes and then talk shit.

the signs as untranslatable words

Aries: Mamihlapinatapei, Yagan (indigenous language of Tierra del Fuego) - “The wordless, yet meaningful look shared by two people who both desire to initiate something but are both reluctant to start.”

Taurus: Saudade, Portuguese - “the feeling of longing for something or someone that you love and which is lost.”

Gemini: Won, Korean - “The reluctance of a persons part to let go of an illusion.”

Cancer: Iktsuarpok, Inuit - “The frustration or impatience of waiting for someone to turn up at an event or a meeting”

Leo: Cafuné, Brazilian Portuguese - “The act of tenderly running one’s fingers through someone’s hair.”

Virgo: Hyggelig, Danish - “It’s literal translation into English gives connotations of a warm, friendly and cozy demeanor”

Libra: Ya’aburnee, Arabic - “Both morbid and beautiful at once, this incantatory word means ‘You bury me,’ a declaration of one’s hope that they’ll die before another person because of how difficult it would be to live without them.”

Scorpio: Friolero, Spanish - “a person who is especially sensitive to cold weathers or temperatures.”

Sagittarius: Wabi-Sabi, Japanese - “A way of living that focuses on finding beauty within the imperfections of life and accepting, peacefully, the natural cycle of growth and decay.”

Capricorn: Toska, Russian - (Vladmir Nabokov describes it best) “No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague relentlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody or something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.”

Aquarius: Uitwaaien, Dutch - “Literally it means to walk in the wind, but in a more figurative (and commonly used) sense, it means to take a brief break in the country side to clear one’s head.”

Pisces: Gökotta, Swedish - “To wake up early in the morning with the purpose of going outside to hear the first birds sing.”
