you deserve people in your life who care about you truly and have the best intentions

today i simply existed and that is enough

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

go lie in grass with me?

This goes for friendships also!

Don't date anyone with a mental illness unless you plan on being kind, honest, and soft with them. Life is already hard for us, we just want someone we can depend on.

Stop stereotyping, prejudice, assumptions. Bcuz it needs to be said.

End the stigma also

hot girl summer but its me taking care of my emotional health, spending time under the sun, reading more, finding new things that make me happy, doing things that bring out good versions of myself

the phrase “earn a living” is so vile and disgusting and evil

No but like the answers to my whys are so important and “darkness”?? toxic positivity is esp harmful towards trauma/abuse survivors.

Anaïs Nin, in a letter to Henry Miller, d. March 26, 1932, from A Literate Passion: Letters of Anaïs Nin & Henry Miller, 1932-1953

I’ve been trying to say this but cognitive issues but before we pathologize individuals as unhealthy, disordered, dysfunctional, dangerous, and abnormal for their reactions to abuse, we should at first be assessing their environments as such

Mental illness is real of course, however, it’s true that toxic environments can mimic symptoms in ppl n if removed from certain environments, symptoms would be gone. And it’s important for adequate assessment to discern for this. Getting a diagnosis in these situations would be a form of medical gaslighting

And it’s also true that being raised in abusive/unhealthy, neglectful, not ideal environment, systems of oppression, bullying at school can play a role too mixed with a genetic/biological/temperament vulnerability or sensitive personality can lead to the formation of mental/personality disorders over time as a form of complex trauma (distinct from CPTSD) and that these people deserve support and interventions that meet their needs and goals. These are the circumstances where terms like “trauma oriented _______ “(enter condition here) have arose from. The degree of stress/trauma that is required to trigger someones genetic predisposition “diathesis” will vary from person to person. For some (mental health disorders) it may not take so much (not a complex trauma) and for others it may take a bit (a complex trauma).

It’s also true that some people are born with mental health disorders (least common)

Transformative social justice like advocating for policy changes in government is so important in addressing all

I grew up with a very controlling mom and dad. So if you’re manipulative you’re an insecure loser

I don’t understand these posts.. r people that ashamed of having basic emotions?

I’ve been scared and it’s not okay and would have liked it to stop
