#mentally ill or something probably

something people just don’t think about is how often chronically ill and disabled people just don’t have access to good food. not healthy food, good food; well made, tasty meals that don’t come from a jar or a freezer. how many of us are housebound or can’t drive? delivery services only offer within certain distances, if you live outside a city they aren’t an option. many people don’t have the energy or ability to cook for themselves if they have the skill to begin with. many certainly don’t have the ability to learn how. it’s something that goes completely unnoticed, just the opportunity to have a good meal and how much that wears you down

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

Fanfiction anon again. Do you think I portrayed the dissociation aspect well enough? I don't have a lot of experience with writing in general, let alone things like that and I don't experience it myself very often so I'm not sure if I did it correctly? Does it show properly in your opinion?

I don’t have a dissociative disorder either, and it’s been awhile since I’ve heavily dissociated in that matter (used to in the past, big chunks of clear memories missing from my 20 year life span although I have a general idea of some events I suppose (and regained some memories at a later time)), but I could tell that you were describing dissociation pretty much immediately.

I’ve tried looking around for things to help writing characters with dissociative disorders (and trauma, as these things can tend to go hand and hand), and I’ve found a few things that could possibly help you if you want. I don’t know how accurate they actually are, but it’s a start:

How to Write a Character with a Dissociative Disorder when You Have a Dissociative Disorder

How to Depict Stress & Trauma by Narrating Dissociation

I feel the need to remind people,

There is nobody Jesus is unable to save

I feel it comes up far too often that I am researching a mental illness or behavior or types of people that people will comment how such people will never be saved, never come to Christ

And I honestly think this is an evil thing to say, let alone publicly, let alone where a record of it is kept for all to see for however long the website is running

Do you have any idea where people who are struggling with all manner of things and looking for help are going to end up? On those exact pages. Do you know where they might look for more information when the article/video/etc waxes on about how rare it is for these people to change or find help? Right in the comments.

How dare the people who post this stuff. To take away the only real hope for the lost. To say ‘this is where everyone can find peace for their soul except for you.’ ‘only those good enough can be Saved’

I have seen people mention being in absolute despair because there’s no help for them even though they want to change. There’s no need to make this even harder. 

No sin, no mental illness, no habit, no personality type, no mistake, no past is going to prevent people who put their faith in Jesus’s death and resurrection from being Saved, so stop trying to turn them away and discourage them.

Malevolent but it's from the perspective of the various cab drivers throughout the series listening to Arthur talk to himself

"Yeah, I think I was driving a guy on some type of drug"

Some of you so desperately want to be watching a different show. Sorry that this is the love conquers all show, you don't have to watch it but it's very fucking weird to spend all of your time trying to make the characters more mentally ill and their relationships unhealthy

People think Ena is equivalent in personality to the needy streamer overdose girl????? (insert the edgy ooc au where the rest of n25 is Ena's hallucination)

YES THEY DO... It's really. Something! I spend a little too much time browsing AO3, and the amount of things I have seen that portray her Like That is truly fascinating

okay i need feedback from the autism mentall illness website um. this is going to read like an AITA post. brother vs half-sister (who are currently my dependents do to their own individual disabilities + ptsd/depression) spat i will skim the details on but i'm worried my sister will discount my take since i'm not autistic myself so. am i crazy to call it ableist to look at an autistic person (23) who is clearly going through it dealing w long term depression, a world that doesn't give a shit abt him, unemployment, very self-isolated and burnt out barely leaving his room because the world is an ableist dumpster fire with zero opportunities for him, and then bring up childhood abuse he's suffered and his diagnosis as reasonable factors on top of this to worry he'll [checks notes] abuse my cat just to hurt me or even worse have a breakdown and kill me and his other sibling in a violent episode, a train of thought i probably wouldn't even be having were he not [checks notes] mad at me for the first time in my life?

like i don't have any other read on this kind of fear-based characterization other than ableism. like those are very real things in his life but she never points out any current violent behavior, of which there are none, only the one (1) instance of him lashing out when he was like 14 and Officially Diagnosed Low Empathy she thinks is a concern and Hateful Looks toward her since he stopped getting along with her, that's it. i tried explaining to her why i, someone who's lived w him his entire life, can vouch for how unlikely he is to do anything like that, especially when it's again not based on anything he's actually currently doing except for isolating in a way that is much more indicative of him potentially being a danger to himself than anyone else, and being cold towards her specifically, and i thought she had let it go, but when i brought it up off-hand in a conversation tangentially related, she continued to defend and justify her Concern about the potential directions his behavior could lead to because [checks notes] other people in similar situations have lashed out and killed their entire families according to. true crime books or videos she's watched on youtube as far as i'm aware. ignoring the fact that her and i have had the same or Worse childhood abuse and have acted similarly isolated in the past, or for her literally just as currently as him, and she's not expressed any worry past or present about either of us doing anything like that, in my opinion obviously because i haven't cut her off due to our differences like he decided to. like am i big sibling biased because this is pissing me off so bad.

would it be alright to ask if you have / had any mental illnesses?

this is such a funny question to me from that "would it be alright" because in any other circumstances that Would be a very strange way of approaching someone if not kinda rude, but on here i have openly discussed for as long as i've had this blog the fact that i'm not #well in the head like that's never been a secret i got smth goin on... like YES girl ! and the crowd was never surprised
