The worst part about having mental health issues is that you’re seemingly required to have a breakdown in order for people to understand how hard you were trying to hold yourself together.

#when someone asks me how life’s going

Do you ever just suddenly feel really shitty because you’re not particularly good at anything and you don’t know what you wanna do with your life and like you didn’t ask to be born and have to deal with all of this and yet here you are, confused and anxious and paying to exist on this trash planet

Gentle reminder: It’s okay to feel overwhelmed. Sometimes things get too much to handle. Take some time to yourself, self-care isn’t being selfish.

one of the factors that was contributing to my bad mental health was honestly social media. i used to post a lot, i used to talk about my life and post selfies. But the negativity and mean comments would really get to me. i would post a picture and there would multiple comments just trying to tear me down. I felt pressure to look perfect and have the perfect lighting and angles. i loved getting all the likes. The negativity and pressure to look good finally wore me down. I’ve only posted twice this year. Sometimes i miss it but sometimes i don’t. Isn’t it weird though? I have bad social anxiety yet I had no problem posting my life and taking pictures of myself. Bc I quit social media, sometimes i feel more alone i guess. I don’t have many friends. I’m not married. I do not have a good family life. But sometimes I find the peace in not having chaos.

Please stop telling yourself you are complaining and whining when you are only expressing how you feel on a physical, mental and emotional level.

my favorite place to be is literally comfy in my bed. I rush home everyday just to get in bed and scroll and watch netflix and play video games. I’m such a homebody and I’m content with that.

I haven’t posted here in a while, life just gets too overwhelming and stressful sometimes. I’ve had this tumblr for over ten years and I wish I could say as I’ve gotten older that the anxiety became easier to deal with, but it hasn’t. Sure I’m used to it and I find ways to deal with it all the time. But things such as grocery shopping, drs appts, even pumping gas in my car- I’ll always feel the most comfortable when someone is with me. It hasn’t changed. And people seem less understanding about social anxiety as you get older so I tend to not talk about it as much. I just try to manage it the best I could, go to work, and pay bills. I now have chronic pain anxiety to add into the mix of social anxiety, depression, and ptsd. I’m very much exhausted some days. But finding even little things to help me get through it helps. Anyway I know many of you probably forgot about this tumblr by now but I hope you’re all doing the best you can, I know life is stressful and mental health makes it harder. Just want you to know you’re never alone in your struggles. xoxo
