momentarily coming off my hiatus to let y’all know I’ve asked my mum to get hospitalized in a mental hospital so I’m probably going to this coming week. yeah. hopefully it’ll help

u rlly gotta stop with the self deprecation humor you know? like that shit might be funny for a second but then u really gotta think “why do I find it funny to think so little of myself? why does my personal pain make for good comedy to others?” not the sort of gallows humor we as marginalized people share in response to pain but the stuff that deals with you and what you’re going through specifically. A wound cannot begin to heal if you insist on keeping it open.

Why I'm not here

A few of you might have noticed I don't really post now. This is because tumblr is harmful to my mental health, and I've decided to delete it off my phone. I'm going through a rough period, but I've been through much worse and came out of that too, so I'm not scared, for the most part. Today was my first day on Prozac, so hopefully this will help. Meditation helps a bit, too. I might be back once I'm well enough. Till then, stay safe, stay positive, do what you need, and keep growing❤️

be proud of yourself. Getting out of bed is a struggle sometimes. taking care of yourself is hard. keeping clean, staying motivated, recovering, finishing a task, finishing a meal. Every day you accomplish so much. Value your accomplishments, and don’t let others belittle them. You are doing a very good job. I am proud of you.

it’s not naive of you to expect someone to value the love you gave them

i genuinely hope anyone ages 13-15 on this website (or, god forbid, younger) stays safe and keeps their private information secure and really private 

please, if you’re really young on tumblr, try not to get swept up in the discourse and the tremendous amount of arguing with strangers that goes on here. i know you probably feel mature for your age but this website, like, really psychologically affects youth, and i encourage you to be cautious about your interactions with people on here

 please, kiddos, stay safe

please take a moment to appreciate yourself. appreciate how far you’ve come, how much effort you’ve put in to something, how much love you’ve given someone. appreciate yourself.

Your depression doesn’t make you less worthy of being loved.

Hey. Do you need a hug?

Maybe you’re having a stressful day. Maybe you just need a deep breath. Maybe you just didn’t realize how stressed you are. It’s okay! You deserve love and warmth in your life.

It’s going to be okay. Today may be the worst day of your life - but tomorrow won’t be. Life is a series of ups and downs, and that means there’s going to be good and bad. Drink some water, let yourself cry if you need to, and get a good night’s sleep. You’ll feel better in the morning.

Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful. Embrace the concept that rest, recovery, and reflection are essential parts of the progress towards a successful and ultimately happy life.
