Nobody is “too young” to be cynical or jaded or hate their life. There is no appropriate age for that. If someone is experiencing that at any age, their mental health is at risk. Doesn’t matter how young they are, or how easy their life seems. Just because existential dread didn’t hit you until later in life, doesn’t mean everyone else gets to be so lucky.
“You think life sucks now? Just wait until you’re grown” okay grandpa what if they don’t make it to adulthood? What if it gets worse until they only see one way out and they take it? Stop being dismissive. Stop forcing your problems onto young people and start taking them seriously about things. Period.
Everyday when I go to sleep I think to myself "maybe I'll be lucky tommorow and won't wake up". I still have hope that one day my wish come true. I hope soon...

I want you to know that you are defining personhood perfectly just by being so don’t worry about taking up too much space or proving that you’re worthy of our time or love. You’re doing nothing wrong by just standing around and you don’t need to give up your right to be a person even when you make mistakes. You are good. The space you inhabit is yours because you’re there and that’s okay. Don’t listen to anyone that tells you directly or indirectly that you should be ashamed or need to prove that you’re worth investing in. Your existing is enough.
Tremors spasms sharp as F pins and needles . Raging fire 🔥 . It’s hard to turn Down the noise . It’s hard to emotionally move forward . I’m trying to keep my head above water to not drown. Won’t lie had moments today I just didn’t care if I lived or not . 😢
I wish I had know this so much earlier in life, but thoughts like “my childhood was super normal and pleasant why do I feel so broken” are symptomatic. They scream repressed trauma.
If you find yourself wondering things like that regularly, you could very possibly have (c)ptsd or any number of other traumagenic mental health conditions. You should consider at least doing a little research on your own if nothing else.
If you feel chronically miserable or broken or isolated or lost that suffering is valid, always. You must have lived though something awful in order to feel that kind of darkness.
You are a survivor even if you’re not sure what you survived, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
Hello all! I have made many many tumblr accounts before. This will be the LAST one! Hopefully, it works out, no more self-destruction, raging ED, SH, and wallowing in sadness for me :-)
Alright, maybe a lot of sadness and a bit of the other stuff, but this stuff takes time! I'm making progress!
