#Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem first make sure you are not in fact just surrounded by assholes.

[annislittleshopofhorrors]

so you changed the site and you are team real now?

Ok, I got several asks about this. I actually didn't want to answer them but I get these kinds of asks every day.

I never said that I think this "relationship/marriage" is real in terms of real deep feelings. I still don't think there are big feelings involved. However, we don't know him so we can only speculate what's going on behind closed doors. And yes, we had to talk about different scenarios. There are a lot of possibilities - and no one of us knows this creepy industry. We actually have to wait for their next steps. And we talked about wedding pics because the possibility is quite high that we get those pics. It doesn't mean that this will happen.

And I have to add that I also struggled the past days. I have bad days too. I fell in a dark hole yesterday - I questioned everything. But the worst part was that I questioned myself. So I end this post with a Sigmund Freud quote:

"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, surrounded by assholes.”

[pdd-culture-is]

Welcome to my blog!

The other day, I tried finding a culture blog for PDD (aka dysthymia) and I couldn't find one. So I decided to make one myself :)

Here, you can:

leave "PDD/dysthymia culture is" asks

vent in my asks or DMs

ask questions about PDD

ask for tips on self-care

reblog asks to spread awareness

But you cannot:

mock or invalidate people's struggles (including fakeclaiming)

leave rude satire asks

ask about my personal life with PDD

be rude in general. it's that simple

What is PDD?

Persistent Depressive Disorder (Dysthymia) is generally described as a form of depression with long-lasting symptoms of up to one year for adolescents and children and two years for adults.

PDD can mean that the symptoms are mild and long-lasting, but that doesn't always have to be the case. PDD can be diagnosed with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder), if major depressive symptoms have lasted for a certain amount of time. People with PDD can, and often will, have bouts of major depression from time to time.

It's characterized by a depressed mood for most of the day, for more days than not, for at least two years (in children and adolescents, mood can be irritable and last for one year). It also includes, but doesn't limit to, chronic symptoms of poor appetite or overeating, insomnia or hypersomnia, low energy or fatigue, low self-esteem, poor concentration or difficulty making choices, and feelings of hopelessness.

I think I might have PDD. What should I do?

Do lots of your own research and talk to a professional. Before you come and ask me, I am a minor and not a professional. I'm educated in PDD and I have it myself, but I'm in no place to give you a diagnosis or anything of the sort.

Self-diagnosis is valid! If you do extensive research and are certain you have PDD, then you can claim yourself to have it. But if you want treatment and help for it, which you need, you must see a professional. If you can't, there are always hotlines and online crisis chats with counselors. I will list some below.

Where should I start researching?

You've come to the right place, because I have some reliable sources for you to look through!

DSM-V (see pages 168-171). This is a PDF to the official DSM-V! This information is all official, straight from the professionals.

Johns Hopkins Medicine - Dysthymia

Mayo Clinic - Persistent Depressive Disorder

Remember to be sure your sources are reliable when you're doing research, especially on a topic like this. If it's a website, does the URL end with .org or .edu? Is the website ad-free? Is the website purely for information rather than trying to sell you something? Is the website a website, and not a blog or unprofessional YouTube or TikTok video about someone's personal opinion on it? If you answered yes to these, then it's probably reliable.

But, do note, you can find reliable sources on social media. Just be more careful on there to make sure it really is truthful.

Need help?

Reach out to a friend or trusted adult. If you have a therapist, reach out to them! If you're in a crisis, you might need to reach out to someone who can help you in that specific situation.

For those in the States...

Of course, there is 988. With them, you can call, text, or chat through the website. There is are options for spanish, deaf + hard-of-hearing (through a video call), veterans, and LGBTQ+

TrevorProject. This is a crisisline specifically for LGBTQ+ young people. You can call, text, and chat through the website here too. I've used it myself many times and I do recommend it.

This website has a list of crisis hotlines and resources, including psychologists near you by state.

For those in the United Kingdom...

The National Suicide Helpline UK's number is 919-231-4525. This provides confidential support for people under 35

The Mental Health First Aid's number is (020) 7250 8062

Please tell me more if there are more! I don't live in the UK so it's difficult for me to provide a good amount of hotlines :)

Some good old Freud: "The first indication of stupidity is a complete lack of shame." "Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, surrounded by assholes." "The only person with whom you have to compare yourself is you in the past." "The mind is like an iceberg, it floats with one-seventh of its bulk above water."

William Gibson once said that:

"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure that you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes."

To that end, there has never been a more extensive public history to draw from nor more compelling case made than by Kanye West for the idea that:

Before you explain away the bad behavior of others on mental health issues, first ensure that they, are not just, in fact, a fucking asshole.

(* It hurts me to this as a massive fan of Kanye's since first listening to the beautiful beats he laid down for Jay Z's The Blueprint on the day it was released 9/11/01 and his run as an MC particularly the era frim Graduation - Watch The Throne.)
