something that people don’t tell you about depression, anxiety, trauma etc is that recovery is not this beautiful healing journey where you figure out the secret to happiness and a clear head and you just come out a different person. it’s hard. it’s really fucking hard and you have to work, probably harder than you even were working before while your mental illnesses stayed dormant.

and that’s what makes me so angry about people who misunderstand disorders and their subsequent treatment. getting help is not easy. you may think that all someone needs to do is wave a magic wand and stop being the way that they are but “getting help” often means signing yourself up for regular therapy, trying out medications, trying out different forms of therapy, processing complex trauma and emotions, reconfiguring your life, challenging yourself every single day to do things you couldn’t before. it’s fucking hard!!

and to everyone out there, like me, who is going through this process - i see you and hear you and i know that we’re going to get through it. and i hate the “you’re so strong” thing but holy shit, we are strong. i know how much effort and work it takes. it’s more than just “drink water” and “go on a walk.” it’s often about rewiring your entire brain.

Are you accidentally emotionally invalidating people you care about? (If purposefully you’re t r a s h)

Are you being invalidated??

Protect yourself/grow into the best version of you by understanding this shit, people.

From helping rebuild settlements to teaching/further developing food production in barren regions to repurposing their odm gear into a leg brace for a certain someone, you know that post-Rumbling, Hange would find so many ways to stay in the action 🥲

I've said it before, I'll say it again, obsessed with the concept of Snart not introducing Barry (as Barry) to Mick bc he's worried that Mick won't like Barry and will do something drastic, or vice versa

And then Mick and Barry meet without Snart being around and become best friends

if capcom ever did decide to kill leon, i'm sure it'd be brutal and miserable. and they would bring him right the fuck back in the worse way.

just think. he's dying. he knows he is. and he comes to terms with it. he wonders if he's done enough. if there's an afterlife, where will he go? he tries to accept that he's done the best he's could. and surely, if he's damned to hell, then these bioterrorist assholes would be far below the last circle of it.

or maybe, he goes out in pure regret. he hasn't done enough. he doesn't deserve to die yet, he doesn't deserve that mercy-

what i'm saying is, capcom would have the perfect opportunity to appeal to the monsterfucker crowd and the whump fans by resurrecting him as a sexy as FUCK monster weapon. haunted by guilt of 1) being alive and 2) becoming the monster he was supposed to defend humanity from-

verdugo leon, for example -

Some thoughts

It’s…difficult to be alive sometimes. Truly difficult.

It’s even more difficult to evolve.

And fighting is not as easy as it seems.

And life is not quite as Pinterest makes it seem.

And between having faith and being confident come your thoughts and your overthinking habits. And between wanting to be happy and wanting to accomplish everything you burn out and lose yourself.

And when everything is happening at once, how can you go on? How can you always “love the fight”?

Well you can’t. The fight, especially when you’re not sure what its purpose is, consumes you. Your energy, your passion, your all.

And somewhere between your lowest moments and your highest ones it’s just the never-ending faith that it will get better. Once. After a month, a week or maybe a year. But it will happen.

Allow yourself to feel💕

It is not okay to speculate whether or not someone is suicidal. If they claim to be, you should 100% take that shit seriously and give them the benefit of the doubt.

That said, if someone is using their own suicidality as a weapon to gain sympathy, emotionally manipulate someone, or to push other people down, GENUINELY fuck that person. While it's not okay for us to doubt that statement just because they're weaponizing it, that also doesn't mean we need to ALLOW that manipulation to convince us of something.

If you feel the need to use your terrible mental health as a step-stool in a conversation to make your side more heard than the other, you need to take a step back and re-evaluate yourself. And I am saying this as someone who ALSO has shit mental health and has been in the trenches with it before. I get it. I understand. But also STOP.

It's tempting to want to save your own ass over recognizing where you've gone wrong, but just a word of advise: recognizing where you've gone wrong WILL save your ass and give you better mental health and wisdom down the line.

However, emotionally manipulating people absolutely will not.

Relationship Fact #1

If you lie to or about somebody to get into a relationship, your relationship is not only built on lies, but rather your entire relationship is a lie. Nothing about it is true or real. You don't have a real connection to this other person. You constructed an illusion based on a lie.
