"don't cry, you're strong."
NO. CRY. YOU'RE STILL AS STRONG.
not crying is not a good thing. emotional regulation is. and that does not always mean someone who doesn't cry or feel upset.

Navigating Emotional Turbulence: A Personal Interpretation of 'Peter' by Taylor Swift from TTPD Lyrics Through the Lens of Borderline Personality Disorder
As someone who grapples with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), certain lyrics resonate deeply, serving as poignant reminders of the emotional turbulence that accompanies this condition.
One such example is found in the haunting verses of a song, 'Peter', that speaks to feelings of abandonment, longing, and the struggle for acceptance.
In the narrative of the song, "Peter" emerges as more than just a name; he embodies an idealized figure, a beacon of guidance in a tumultuous world. Yet, as the lyrics unfold, Peter's promises to return after growing up serve as a double-edged sword. While they initially ignite a spark of hope, they ultimately deepen the wounds of abandonment and betrayal.
The mention of "closets like cedar" conjures imagery of preserved memories, tucked away yet ever-present in the psyche of the individual with BPD. These memories hold significant emotional weight, representing a time when Peter's presence provided solace and security.
The repeated references to promises made by Peter underscore the individual's fear of abandonment and their desperate struggle to trust others.
Each broken promise further erodes their sense of self-worth, leaving them questioning whether love and loyalty are merely elusive fantasies.
Yet, amidst the pain, there is a glimmer of hope encapsulated in the line, "love's never lost when perspective is earned."
Here, there is a recognition that while Peter may never return, the journey towards healing and acceptance lies within oneself. It's a sobering realisation that closure and understanding can be found, even in the absence of external validation.
These lyrics offer a raw and unfiltered glimpse into the complex emotional landscape of BPD. They speak to the longing for connection, the anguish of betrayal, and the arduous journey towards self-acceptance. Ultimately, they serve as a poignant reminder that while the path may be fraught with challenges, there is strength and resilience in confronting one's inner demons and finding solace in the midst of emotional turmoil.

Healing isnt just getting well so you can go make the same mistakes. I think a lot of you worry about that; "Well, what's the point when I always end up here?", because if you keep ending up here, you haven't healed what needed to be for that standard, that routine or path to change.
Healing is a form of self education. Learning what you need to know better what's good for you and what isn't. A COMPASS. You are establishing a compass of morality and emotional stability so you can see the bad before it sees you. So in the event you're approached by that same old spicy distracting allure, you have a sense of worth that overweighs the lust of a temporarily good thing in a cute human saying the right thing having seen the weakness of opportunity. You ARE stronger than that weakness, but it's an active Choice to seek that strength and use it to your advantage.
For you. Heal. For your safety. Heal. For your heart. Heal. For your soul. Heal.
There's a lot of really awful hate in this world, for no reason at all.. practice love.
Practice Love, especially with yourself. It sounds fucking stupid, psych nonsense or squishy cushion fairytale...
I love you, Tumblr Stranger.
I love you, Tumblr Mutual.
I love you, Followers and Friends.
If people can hate for no reason, why not lead by example Loving without one?
The world is a scary place. It's even scarier when you feel alone. Know that this is a safe space, Always. And you are Never Alone.

Affirmational statements for people dealing with triggers
Your triggers are valid.
It's okay to be upset at upsetting content.
It's okay and normal to be upset at media that is triggering.
It's okay and normal to not be happy at how media sometimes romanticizes or brushes off triggering or sensitive topics.
You are not weird for doing so. You are not a "puritan" or "The Hays Code" for doing so. And you are not a bad person for doing so.
You are not a bad person because you forgot to check the warnings and got unpleasantly surprised at triggering content.
You don't have to consume a popular work if it has your triggers in it. Your boundaries are valid.
You are not a bad person for not liking a piece of media because of a triggering topic that is brought up.
You are not a bad person for wishing the writers could have handled this triggering topic differently than they did. No creator and no piece of art is free from criticism. No writer or piece of media is free from being held accountable.
Your brain sometimes has trouble distinguishing fantasy and reality, so just breathe in, let yourself receive the trigger, and then let it go.

Anyone Else Feeling Worn Out by Instagram?
Instagram feels like more of a challenge these days, with algorithms becoming unpredictable and lacking the intuitive energy that aligns with being a human user.
Gone are the days of it being an authentic space to truly create, connect, and be seen. The pressure to curate the perfect feed, follow trends, or even pay for visibility has become draining—especially for small business owners. I miss the days when we could share what we loved and build community authentically, without constantly thinking about numbers or staying relevant in the fast tides of the algorithm.
Is anyone else feeling the same? It seems like Instagram has lost its original vibe, and I’m craving spaces where creativity can flow naturally again. Tumblr feels refreshing—no pressure, just a place to be authentic.
It makes me feel so warm inside. My teen self gets to return to the place where her love of photography and emotional intelligence developed many moons ago in my lonely rural hometown, where Tumblr was my refuge and a place to connect with others like me.
What I love about Tumblr today is the peacefulness that comes after posting. It feels like you’re part of something, rather than having visibility anxiety.
There’s a real sense of authenticity and connection, none of the pressure that leaves you second-guessing every move. It’s a platform where creativity feels free, and I’m glad to be back again!
How are you all finding it? Are you exploring other platforms and moving away from the stress of Instagram?

Navigating Your Inner World: How to Use the Wheel of Emotions to Understand Yourself Better
Tumblr media
Emotions are like the GPS of your inner world, guiding you toward what truly matters.
The Wheel of Emotions isn’t just a chart—it’s your go-to tool for figuring out what you're feeling, why you're feeling it, and how to honour those emotions. By understanding your emotions, you can handle life's ups and downs with way more clarity, kindness, and self-compassion.
How to Use the Wheel of Emotions: A Simple, Step-by-Step Guide
Start with What You’re Feeling:
Take a breath and check in with yourself. How are you feeling right now? Begin at the center of the wheel, where the core emotions—joy, sadness, anger, fear, and more—live. Don’t overthink it. Just go with the emotion that hits closest to home in this moment.
Go Deeper Into Your Emotions:
Move outwards from the center to the next ring, which reveals deeper layers of your feelings. Feeling sad? Maybe there's also loneliness, disappointment, or vulnerability mixed in. This is your chance to peel back those layers and get more in touch with what’s really happening inside.
Get Specific:
Now, move to the outermost ring. Here’s where you really dial in on what’s going on. Instead of just feeling “angry,” maybe you’re actually feeling “betrayed” or “let down.” These specific labels help you pinpoint exactly what you're experiencing, making things less vague and more clear.
Ask Yourself “Why?”:
Once you’ve named your emotion, take a moment to reflect: What brought this up? Was it a conversation, a memory, or just a tough day? Figuring out the source of your feelings can help you understand your emotional responses and give you the power to work through them.
Feel Without Judgment:
Whatever emotion comes up, let yourself feel it without labeling it as “good” or “bad.” Every feeling deserves to be felt—no matter how messy. Your emotions are valid, and they’re telling you something important, so let yourself experience them fully.
Decide What to Do Next:
Now that you’ve got clarity, think about your next move. Do you need to set a boundary, have a tough conversation, or just take some time for yourself? Let your emotional insights guide your actions, whether that means speaking up or simply giving yourself a moment to breathe.
Make It a Habit:
The more you use the Wheel of Emotions, the easier it gets. Think of it as a muscle—the more you practice, the better you’ll become at identifying your emotions, understanding what you need, and responding in a way that’s true to yourself.
Using the Wheel of Emotions turns everyday feelings into a roadmap for deeper self-awareness. It’s your personal tool to help navigate the complex, beautiful world of your emotions, one feeling at a time.

Debunking BPD Myth(s): Unveiling The Truth Behind Misconceptions
Common Misconceptions About BPD
1. Myth: People with BPD are manipulative.
   Reality: Behaviors often perceived as manipulative are usually desperate attempts to cope with overwhelming emotions and fear of abandonment. These actions are not calculated but are rather expressions of intense inner turmoil.
2. Myth: BPD is untreatable.
   Reality: While BPD is a challenging condition, it is treatable. Many individuals with BPD experience significant improvement with appropriate therapy, such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and support.
3. Myth: People with BPD are violent or dangerous.
   Reality: The majority of people with BPD are not violent. This stereotype is harmful and overlooks the fact that those with BPD are more likely to harm themselves than others.
4. Myth: BPD is just "drama" or attention-seeking.
   Reality: BPD is a serious mental health condition that involves real suffering. Dismissing it as "drama" undermines the lived experiences of those affected and prevents them from receiving necessary support.
Challenging Stigma and Building Empathy
Stigma often arises from a lack of understanding.
By educating ourselves and others about the realities of BPD, we can challenge these harmful stereotypes and foster a more compassionate community.
1. Listen and Validate: When someone shares their experiences with BPD, listen without judgment. Validate their feelings and offer support.
2. Educate Yourself: Learn about BPD from reliable sources. Understanding the condition can help dismantle misconceptions and promote empathy.
3. Advocate for Change: Speak out against stigma when you encounter it. Whether in conversations with friends or in public forums, advocating for a more accurate understanding of BPD can make a difference.
4. Support Recovery: Encourage and support individuals with BPD in seeking treatment and engaging in self-care. Celebrate their progress and resilience.
Hope and Healing
Despite the challenges, many individuals with BPD lead fulfilling lives.
Recovery is a journey, and with the right support, individuals with BPD can build healthy relationships, manage their emotions, and achieve their goals.
By breaking down stigma and challenging misconceptions about BPD, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for everyone affected by this condition. Let's commit to understanding, empathy, and advocacy, paving the way for hope and healing.
