not to be rude but some of y'all need to look on the bright side sometimes. like, yeah sure the world is fucked and people suck and we all die whatever, sure, but like. go outside.

ok i phrased this poorly, hang on.

i'm not saying the cure for depression is touching grass. however, if you surround yourself with sad things and talk about how terrible life is and how much you're suffering and never take a breath and remember it's not all bad, you'll end up making yourself worse.

like, i've been diagnosed with clinical depression, and anxiety, and insomnia, and chronic pain, and a million other things that get in the way of me having a simple fucking good day, but you know what?

i watch videos that make me happy and wear pretty clothes and cut my hair in fun styles and do my makeup and drink strawberry tea and take two showers a day and i look on the bright side because goddamnit if god is trying to break me down, he'll have to try harder.

i see so many people talk about how sad they are, who make their depression their first priority, and i get it, i really do, but you know that is actively harming your mental state, right? please, just do something nice for yourself, think positively for one day. i promise things get better when you step back and breathe.

First Things First

What u doin to my nosey????

people with adhd, psychosis, brain fog, schizophrenia or anything that affects memory, recall and perception of reality are so at risk of gaslighting. even when you’re pretty sure you did/didn’t do a thing, if someone suggests that it didn’t actually happen that way or you’re skewing the facts or you’re just misremembering of whatever, you start to question yourself and your own memories and that is very easy to take advantage of. and it’s so incredibly difficult to get anyone to believe you or take you seriously because not even you are 100% sure you’re recalling things correctly. it sucks so bad not being able to rely on your own memory and to have to worry about people using it against you (because they can and will)

One of the worst feelings in the world is when you're trying your best to put a smile on your face and keep any negative emotions from bubbling to the surface because you're in a situation where you have to put a smile on your face and pretend it doesn't exist and you don't want be rude and angry at people for things unrelated to those emotions and then you inevitably snap and you response to something in a blunt manner after trying your best and people chastise you for your behavior and you feel like a horrible monster because if you try explaining why it happened they view it as you giving excuses and now you're in a more negative spiral than before because your attempts feel utterly meaningless and it feels like people are going to have awful perceptions of who you are because of one bad moment :(

Also i wish hanging out online wasn't mostly limited to talking. Mutuals come over to my house and we will silently parallel play

my super power is that being rick rolled brings me joy. i may say "god dammit" but it's appreciative. i love the song and i know you are trying to be a fiend and my god i love that for you. kiss me on the mouth

ITS APRIL 13 YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

FETCH ME NEIL

i want to be a conventionally attractive wealthy skinny ciswoman so i can go on the bachelor and make it all the way thru the competition, and when the guy proposes to me i just like leap towards him and close my teeth around his neck and bite as hard as i can. just absolute animal brutality like shaking his neck like a ragdoll, growling ripping tearing etc, and then before anyone can stop me immediately run into traffic and die so no one ever gets the chance to understand why that happened

Tumblr should tell you how many times you’ve been blocked but not who’s blocked you. Let me see how many enemies I have made.

In case anyone thinks this type of sanism doesn't happen on Tumblr

It's so hard when you're in a state where you're actually "schizo rambling" in public because everyone takes it as a joke. You can post "I'm having an psychotic episode from no meds" and people will reblog it as a joke... cuz this schizo stuff leaked off of 4chan and now we have to suffer for it... even videos of people having psychotic breaks go viral because people just think the state of being in psychosis is funny... please we are real people

And if you make jokes pretending to be schizophrenic or psychotic please consider what happens to us when you muddy the water about our experiences

This seems like a solid and real thing, I did my best to vet them and found their FB: https://www.facebook.com/Neverusealone/

They also seem to help with getting Narcan.

holy shit this can actually save Real Lives like dudes this isn’t a joke and isn’t to be passed off

from this reddit thread that has a lot of people talking about the hotline, including sharing their own experiences. additionally, it looks like there are also similar overdose prevention hotlines in other countries now, such as canada and scotland

For those in the notes wondering about their cop policy, here’s what they say on their website’s FAQ:

They also say that all of their volunteers have personally experience with substance use, and that they do not accept volunteers employed by addiction treatment centers.

wow that's a nice inflexible honour code you've got there. i can't wait to see it broken under immense pressure, and you along with it.

*if you are on more than one of the medications, choose the primary hormone/hormone you are mostly attempting to raise (like, if you are taking testosterone to transition but also take estrogen medically to treat vaginal dystrophy from T you would be primarily taking testosterone for gender transition)
