As a mentally ill person, I strongly believe in having mental health groups, such as suicide prevention groups, include mainly people who have lived experiences with mental illness, and who are passionate about helping others who are also mentally ill due to ableism and capitalism, cause if you can’t truly see what the fuck I’m going through, and relate to me on some levels, I don’t give a fuck about anything you say. It’s just surface-level nonsense.
You might as well just tell me “it gets better” or “get help” and then pretend I don’t exist while I continue to suffer.
We need people who truly understand, and who know what it’s like being mentally ill and discarded for that, and who are passionate about awareness and change, because they are the ones who can actually touch you in a way no one else can. They will see you as a person rather than some Other who needs to be pitied and fixed. I’m tired of “professionals” who’s only experience is having studied mental illness through either textbooks full of ableism, where no mentally ill person is allowed to have a voice, or through watching mentally ill people like humans at a human zoo. Most of the time, they have absolutely no idea what the fuck they’re doing, cause at the end of the day they only see you as a nuisance rather than a person in need struggling in a capitalistic society that thrives off draining you, and leaving you hopeless.
It’s even worse as a black person. You might as well not exist at this point. You’re suppose to be Strong and Resilient™.

I feel like a freight train hit me and dragged my soul for 12km...that psych hold was scary and also made me happy that I'm getting the attention my mental health deserves.
I just got a call from the CMHA and I returned the voicemail.
I might go stay with my mom out of province for a while to recuperate and try to find some meaning.
These new meds are harsh, I vomit every time they start to digest but at least I don't have suicidal thoughts or feel too heavy and I'm going to give these night meds a try also...I just want happiness so badly.

nobody talks about the fact that you can have all this crazy shit in your head, and want to open up and talk about your feelings but no matter what, you just can't make out the right words and properly put your thoughts and emotions into words

ARE YOU OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE LIVING WITH MENTAL ILLNESS?
Cool, me too.
I’m assembling a community of like minded humans who can relate to the feeling of their own flesh+bone matter constantly contending with their sentient consciousness in a bid for power and control over their decisions and emotions… and/or humans who love other humans who continuously battle their own prefrontal cortex and endorphin creators for a bid at happiness…
come… rest here, weary traveller. find out more below ⬇️
delivered in a clear & chaotic voice of authenticity, my content centers around conquering challenges made into marathons by, often times common, mental health symptoms.
FIRST EPISODE: MY ROTTING TOOTH THAY ANXIETY AND FEAR HELPED ME AVOID
i didn’t explicitly reveal in the video… but I lived with a rotting tooth in my skull for months until it finally fell out of my jaw, months after my first botched root canal. 🙂
EPISODE TWO: STUPID WACK TAXES AND SHOCKINGLY I END UP MORE POOR!!! BUT I DID IT! (spoiler alert)
this new editing style for the 2nd video is going to land so ✨wildly✨upon your retinas…
i wanted you to FEEL what I feel and understand what those closest to me experience when I bang their lines with a new story of hardship overcome, as friends often do 📱🧠📱
unexpectedly entertaining & a true visual representation, a reflection, of the way I often perceive and process information and life😵💫
EPISODE ONE… was the prototype
for a fleshy & meaty ep 2: TAX TORMENT
(because it IS and ISN’T that serious) 🫠
I also fought a bug i guess… because spring sprung all up on me…
SO JOIN ME IN BEING BORDERLINE MANAGEABLE!
