They say that things get better with time, time is the cure for every pain, time heals everything. But I don’t relate to any of these. It’s been more than an year but nothing has changed, everything is same. That void, emptiness, restlessness, tiredness, everything is right there as it was an year ago. I can’t find peace in anything. I get distracted for a while and then come back to the same phase again. I don’t even know the reason behind all this, I don’t know what’s missing, but there’s something wrong with me or with the circumstances, i have no idea. This emptiness and lack of peace is squeezing life out of me. I’m stuck in an unknown phase.

Fellas, if you have certain mental condition or illness that makes your life difficult or whatever I think it's valid if you wanted to call yourself 'crippled' if you wanted and I don't think people should gatekeep you from using that term.
Personally, I'm not using it because whatever *shrug* you do you...

What do you call that mental condition where you see or hear about some illness, mental or physical, and then start mimicking it or something? Like, you start faking that illness and convince everyone (and eventually yourself too) that you do have it and end up getting diagnosed and everything?
I know there's a name for it, just can't remember it.

My experience trying to get seen for an ADHD diagnosis so far
I call my gp, asking to be seen, they pass on my request to a different clinic which puts me on the waiting list. So far, easy.
I wait a year. I receive a letter telling me I'm still on the waiting list.
I wait another year.
I try to find out where I am on the waiting list. The clinic never picks up the phone. The website does not list an email address. I give up for a week or so.
I do internet research, eventually finding the people above the clinic - the hospital's mental department. I send them an email. They send me an email back saying they've alerted the ADHD group (skipping the clinic) and I should be phoned within a month. Great!
I wait a month. And a bit more.
I receive a letter telling me I've been taken off the ADHD group phone list, and will have to re-apply to be put on the two year waiting list
Confused, I phone the ADHD group. They tell me they sent me a previous letter informing me they'd tried to contact me once and been unsuccessful so I had to phone them. Because I never got this letter, I did not know to phone them, so they took me off the list. I tell them there's been a miscommunication, they say they'll call me back.
I wait around two weeks. They don't call back.
I call them again. They say they'll call back and actually do this time. They say to email the hospital mental department and ask to be re-referred.
I ask to be re-referred and this is kind of urgent as whether I go back to uni depends on this diagnosis. They say I can't be seen because I'm on the mainland.
I say I'm NOT on the mainland, that's my uni address.
They say sorry, you are registered with a GP on the mainland. You will have to be seen by a different clinic. Please re-register for ADHD diagnosis.
That's where we are right now.
*screams*

Being incredibly beautiful but also incredibly neurodivergent {undiagnosed} is turning me into a shell of a man

Please, if you can, take a moment to read and share this because I feel like I'm screaming underwater.
NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder) stigma is rampant right now, and seems to be getting progressively worse. Everyone is using it as a buzzword in the worst ways possible, spreading misinformation and hatred against a real disorder.
I could go on a long time about how this happened, why it's factually incorrect (and what the disorder actually IS), why it's harmful, and the changes I'd like to see. But to keep this concise, I'll simply link to a few posts under the cut for further reading.
The point of this post is a plea. Please help stop the spread of stigma. Even in mental health communities, even around others with personality disorders, in neurodivergent "safe" spaces, other communities I thought people would be supportive in (e.g. trans support groups, progressive spaces in general), it keeps coming up. So I'm willing to bet that a lot of people on this site need to see this.
Because it's so hard to exist in this world.
My disorder already makes me feel as if I'm worthless and unlovable, like there's something inherently wrong and damaged about me. And it's so much harder to fight that and heal when my daily life consists of:
Laughing and spending time with my friends, doing my utmost best to connect and stay present and focused on them, trying to let my guards down and be real and believe I'm lovable- when suddenly they throw out the word "narcissist" to describe horrible people or someone they hate, or the conversation turns to how evil "people with narcissistic personality disorder" are. (Seriously, you don't know which of your friends might have NPD and feels like shit when you say those things & now knows that you'd hate them if you knew.)
Trying to look up "mental health positivity for people with npd", "mental health positivity cluster bs", only to find a) none of that, and b) more of the same old vile shit that makes me feel terrible about myself.
Having a hard time (which is constant at this point) and trying to look up resources for myself, only to again, find the same stigma. And no resources.
Not having any clue how to help myself, because even the mental health field is spitting so much vitriol at people with DISORDERS (who they're supposed to be helping!) that there's no solid research or therapy programs for people like me.
Losing close friends when they find out, despite us having had a good relationship before, and them KNOWING me and knowing that I'm not like the trending image of pwNPD. Because now they only see me through the lens of stigma and misinformation.
Hearing the same stigma come up literally wherever I go. Clubs. Meetings. Any online space. At the bus stop. At the mall. At a restaurant. At work. Buzzword of the year that everyone loooves loudly throwing around with their friends or over the phone. Feels awesome for me, makes my day so much better/s
I could go on for a long time, but I'm scared no one will read/rb this if it gets too much longer.
So please. Stop using the word "narcissist" as a synonym for "abusive".
Stop bringing up people you hate who you believe to have NPD because of a stigmatizing article full of misinformation whenever someone with actual NPD opens their mouth. (Imagine if people did that with any other disorder! "Hey, I'm autistic." "Oh... my old roommate screamed at me whenever I made noise around him, and didn't understand my needs, which seems like sensory overload and difficulty with social cues. He was definitely autistic. But as long as you're self-aware and always restraining your innate desire to be an abusive asshole, you're okay I guess, maybe." ...See how offensive and ignorant that is?)
Stop preventing healthcare for people with a disorder just because it's trendy to use us as a scapegoat.
If you got this far, thank you for reading, and please share this if you can. Further reading is under the cut.
NPD Criteria, re-written by someone who actually has NPD
Stigma in the DSM
Common perception of the DSM criteria vs how someone may actually experience them (Keep in mind that this is the way I personally experience these symptoms, and that presentation can vary a lot between individuals)
"Idk, the stigma is right though, because I've known a lot of people with NPD who are jerks, so I'm going to continue to support the blockage of treatment for this condition."
(All of these were written by me, because I didn't want to link to other folks' posts without permission, but if you want to add your own links in reblogs or replies please feel free <3)

give love to people with traumatic brain injury, acquired brain injury, stroke, neurological condition, worsening mental health, trauma, PTSD and all other brain based conditions that make you feel conflicted about your identity. About whether or not you’re the ‘same person’ you were before your injury or illness. People constant evolve and change but can be more difficult when changes more sudden, pronounced, and noticed by others. I hope you are doing well and are able to find some peace, support and love.

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.
And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.
But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.
Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.
So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.
Respect our rest.
#wrenfea.exe#DISCLAIMER: dont take this as me saying you should be pushing your mentally ill friends#this is more about how physical conditions often differ in how they are treated#also dont like. force your friends or anyone with anxiety to do things they dont want to#thats what therapists are for#also most mental illnesses require medication alongside therapy before they can get better#but even chronic illnesses and disabilities that benefit from exercise still require knowing your limits#and not being pressured to push past them#ive noticed some professionals who help both mentally and physically ill patients tend towards the push method#like my therapist and sometimes my counselors fall back on that method#and i have to remind them i am already pushing myself#and i need to adapt rather than push forward#chronic disability#chronic pain#spoonie#disability#chronic illness#cripple punk#cripplepunk#cpunk

Here's a #meettheartist of sorts.
This is the first time I really drew myself. It was difficult. But it's a good therapeutic exercise. I'm just trying to exist.
(Actually, I'll be taking my lvl 33 in 8 days. But I anticipated it.) 😂
I picked up the pattern idea from @nickygrillet in Instagram. It's a great inspiration. 🖤

Why My Depression Did Not End After Coming Out as Gay
The truth is that many LGBTQ individuals still experience mental illness years after coming out. It does not magically cure your mental condition, however, it can alleviate many symptoms and jump-start the healing process. Coming out is crucial because keeping your identity a secret causes a severe form of trauma. In response to a threat, queer people may choose to hide. They must have felt threatened for a long time if they have been hiding out. They have probably lived in the trauma rather than just witnessing it. For more information, read here.

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.
It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.
#mental health#mental health advocacy#like... anxiety and depression are often concieved of as simple and easy to manage...#...but that isn't the case for so many of us. anxiety and depression just have a lot more research invested into them...#...and while i wish this were the case for literally every other condition it does alter people's perception of you to some extent...#...so while this is NOT solely about anxiety or depression it includes us...#...my anxiety and depression and PTSD have *destroyed* my life. this is chronic and will probably be life-long...#...and that isn't my fault. i've done the fucking work but guess what? that doesn't account for the fact that I Am Just ILL#the least we can do for each other is to be compassionate#be compassionate to those who cannot heal. be compassionate to the people who can't manage their lives. this world is scary enough#recognize that management of symptoms is something not all of us can do - even IF their condition is labeled as 'easy to manage'#i allowed myself to feel angry that i can't heal 'normally' and that was unfair as fuck toward myself#and i NEED people to internalize this so that MAYBE this could help somebody else who is where i was#i NEED them to understand that it's okay that they are where they are - sometimes shit just doesn't turn out how you expect or want#don't beat yourself over you being a person. you are struggling enough. you deserve to rest. just rest please#and just... give yourself space
