#Depressive Disorder

[neuroticboyfriend]

do you have "treatment resistant depression" or are you just fundamentally living a life that would make anyone depressed?

are you just dealing with abuse, poverty, and oppression? are you just dealing with a lifetime of trauma? do we just live in a society where peoples basic needs are neglected, and the completely understanble response to that is pathologized? on purpose? so that it's just an individual problem and people arent Trying Enough... so nothing about the system has to change?

...do you have "treatment resistant depression," or do you just need real community, support, resources, and protection?

Npd + depression culture is wanting to delete everything, tumblr, discord, everything, block all your friends, throw your phone out a window and run away, but not being able to because no one irl pays attention to you, and if you left Tumblr, then there'd be no one left to notice you and give you attention.

Has anyone else been feeling like the most annoying piece of shit ever or is it just me??

Being neurodivergent is so fun (/sarcastic) because you can stand there for a solid hour or two not being able to choose what to eat for a variety of reasons that only another neurodivergent people understand. Keep in mind these aren't meant to sound logical. Hence neurodivergent. We know it doesn't make sense logically, but we still feel what we feel. Texture Flavor Memories/association Doesn't go with today's mood You 'Don't deserve it today' If I eat this then I can't have this because it'll mess with this Misinterpreting/misremembering what something is Based on color Based on Order Wanting something mid-cooking and then changing your mind Simply a "I could have this or I could have that" and us being a little more emotional over the fact that we can't always have both at the same time. And then of course our dilemmas of when we do choose our food WHY IS IT TOUCHING WHY IS IT NOT MIXED (particularly added this one because there's some food I physically cannot eat unless they're mixed and I think it's an OCD thing, like mashed potatoes and corn-) PLEASE feel free to add on! I love hearing what other people have in their heads. These are just ones that i have on a daily basis. <3

CONDITION #725 - SLAVE JOY

Joy, you have to make Riley HAPPY or all this would be of NOTHING!

(Riley had a really really bad day at work and Anxiety has to make sure Riley can keep her job……at ALL COSTS.)

A breakdown of the concept:

Joy is wearing shoes, a tight belt and a hair tie. This represents restrains, a.k.a. being socially conformed

Two pegs to force a smile, as Joy is too exhausted to smile again (for both herself and Riley)

Chain of Shame and Memory Orb of Guilt: to ensure Joy remembers why Riley need to keep her smile at work

Anxiety dresses like a bossy woman for you know why

Joy’s new dress is no longer joyous but you can still see some vague flowery patterns. So maybe there are still some hope left? Meaning meaning…

TLDR: Joy is enslaved by Anxiety as she is the only emotion that can make Riley feel engaged at work. Will Joy (and even Riley) ever be able to recover from this extreme exploitation?

Hpd + depression culture is yeah I know I'm avoiding everyone right now but how dare you not give me attention. I'm supposed to open the app to a bunch of unread messages to not respond to.

🦂🪷 <- so we can find this later.

ANDREW GARFIELD

aka Peter Parker stay to top of building [deleted scene] from "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" (2014, dir Mark Webb)

This scene alone portrays Peter Parkers depressive disorder without even saying a word. Andrew did an amazing work here. One of the best scenes and they have deleted it. Screw u Sony.

TASM is like a slice of life movie in a super hero movie, and the third film about Peter’s life after the tragedy, was robbed from us.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT REMINDER THAT your mental illness is STILL valid even if:

you don’t have an official diagnosis

you don’t have scars or they aren’t visible

you’re not in treatment

you’ve never had a suicide attempt

you’ve never been to a hospital for mental health reasons

you have entirely or mostly healthy stable relationships

your condition and symptoms are considered “scary” or “disturbing”

you don’t have any consistent or identifiable triggers

your panic attacks are silent or functional

and so so much more!!!!! you are still disabled, you are still struggling, you and your illness are still valid.

depressed npd culture is I wish I could care about my friends having a bad few days. Or being really stressed out about chores or homework. I really wish I could care at all. But everytime they share something like that with me, all I can think about is talking about it my own suffering. Cause I have it worse, and I know they don't understand the extent to which I have it worse. For that I can't help but be bitter (and I hate it so much. I wish this wasn't my first impulse. All I can do is outwardly be humble and empathetic while feeling like the biggest piece of shit in the whole wide world its craaazyyy).

People's scars don't need trigger warnings.

Just had a debate about this and we are feeling all fired up so lets talk about this. The debate was about self-harm scars, and whether art of them or photos of a person with them need trigger warnings.

We aren't talking about wounds. We aren't talking about fresh cuts. We aren't talking about gore. We are talking about fully-healed scars. Cuts and gore should be given a trigger warning, but NOT scars.

We have seen this from not just one person, but many people over the years, and we are sick and tired of it.

"Self-harm scars need trigger warnings" is the same as telling someone that they should keep their scars covered up. That a person with scars on their thighs can no longer wear shorts. That a person with scars on their arms has to wear long sleeves, or keep it bandaged.

"But it triggers me and causes me discomfort, because I am still in recovery." I am sympathetic for your recovery, but that doesn't give you the right to tell someone what they can and cannot wear. It doesn't give you the right to tell people that they should cover up. That can lead to feelings of shame in the person you are requesting that of, and make them feel like they have to censor or hide their scars. Their scars are part of who they are.

Do we have to add a TW to all scars, then? If a person is recovering from a traumatic surgery, and they go online and see scars on someones stomach, does that mean that post should have had a TW for having surgical scars on them? Just because someone has trauma of that surgery, trauma that can lead them down a mental health spiral?

Its not your fault if it’s hard for you to see self-harm scars, but you cannot expect other people to undermine their own progress because of that. You’re allowed to struggle with what troubles you, but that doesn't give you the right to treat others as taboo for having scars. The internet cannot be tailored for every person, thats just not how reality works. You can't censor people's scars because it makes you personally uncomfortable.

Your recovery can't hinder someone else's recovery. You need to learn how to live with your own self-harm scars, not drag other people down for having them.

We walk around in the real world, wearing clothes that anyone else can wear, even if it puts our scars on display, because thats reality. Reality doesn't HAVE trigger warnings for scars. And people shouldn't be forced to shy away from wearing their desired clothes just because it exposes their scars.

just curious.... do you know of a general/unspecified chronic illness flag?

Nope so I've made some using those chronic fatigue flags.

Chronic Illness Pride Flag

[IMAGE ID: a flag with six horizontal stripes. The fisrt and last stripes are smaller. Their colors are, from top to bottom, dark bluish green, light salmon pink, soft white, bluish green, light bluish green and dark bluish green. END ID.]

[IMAGE ID: a flag with a dark bluish green background. Lines, like brushstrokes, which go from top to bottom and from bottom to top, partially cross the flag. The line colors are light salmon pink, soft white, bluish green and light bluish green. END ID]

I choose to make the flags main's colour bluish green because light blue is often used to represent chronic illnesses and because green is often used on chronic fatigue/pain flags.

Meanings of flag:

dark bluish green: fighting against ableism

light salmon pink: community and solidarity

soft white: remissions and relapses

bluish green: chronic fatigue and brain fog

light bluish green: all the types of chronic illnesses

*my requests aren't curently opened, I just really wanted to make some flags for chronic illnesses.
