My Fiancé has helped me sort through a few traumatic memories, most of which gave her an inclination of just how "broken" I am.

I don't really react to affection or emotional warmth the way normal people do.

Which is weird, because if it's directed at someone else I'm fine.

However, if someone tries to give me affection or any form of human compassion I have a panic attack, make a joke or try to quickly change the topic.

…kinda like Chandler.

I genuinely do not know how to be vulnerable.

Online is easier. I can hide behind a screen and avoid anyone getting too close, because I can walk away from my computer or phone.

…I don't want to live like this forever.

real. All I ever am to the people around me is smiles. They never stop to ask me if I'm okay because I'm so good at hiding it.

Yet, I feel like nobody cares about me and that's why they aren't doing anything about it.

Constant cycle of who I blame, me or them.

when people think having bpd is aesthetic when in reality you get suicidal 5 times a day, feeling like you’ll never be happy again, just to feel okay again 30 minutes later and then again 30 minutes later bursting out in anger and hurting someone you love the most for no reason at all, i promise it’s not cute.

Please don’t use these terms lightly if you don’t understand how much someone suffering from these conditions truly endures. I genuinely wish no one ever has to go through this.

IT DOES FUCKING SUCK!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes

we are so ableist about memory. people with good memory take for granted the fact that they can recall as much as they can, and use that to taunt, guilt and threaten people with memory issues. many neurotypes and mental illnesses cause memory lapses. traumatic brain injuries can cause memory lapses. brain cancer can cause memory lapses.

even if your memory is good, it's not right to guilt someone because they can't remember something. trust me, people with memory problems are desperately trying to remember: it's just that we literally can't. it is a very literal "i can't remember".

chronic fatigue from mental illness and neurodivergency isn't something you can just will your way out of. your nervous system is part of your body. your brain is an organ. the fatigue is real. you're not lazy. so be kinder to yourself. be gentler with your bodymind.
