me when the persistent depression is persistent:

[why-dontiknow]

Somedays I can't stand seeing people happy at the age I was so miserable at, realising my world stopped spinning but kept on for what seems like everyone else. And I'm still so broken and I have to live with that, while others can just live.

lotus flower persistent depression flag

✦ ✦ wanted to do my own persistent depression flag, as someone with this disorder, the green that is the color most present of the flag represents the persistence, the symptons, the empty/"grey" feelings, etc.

i named it lotus flower flag due to the meanings of this flower, meaning: calm , overcoming adversity, rebirth, the overall meaning of the flower is overcoming and calmness, that's why i choosed this flower

OO1 - requested by, no one, self indulgent

OO2 - flag coined by: the overseer

OO3 - tagging ; @accessmogai for id and @mad-pride for archival

that (non-existent) feeling you experience where you're emotionally numb for days and weeks with a tinge of sadness that is here but also not quite. you feel it when you're not paying attention but it goes away when you try to focus on it. then, one day, your heart feels lighter and you feel better and all of a sudden you feel sadness and finally, finally, the tears come falling. and then it's nothing. again. again.

having like 5 mental illnesses is so fucking bullshit. there should be a limit on how fucked up your brain can be. and don't even get me STARTED on having like 5 mental illness AND a chronic illness. hell world hell world hell world

Do I have major depressive disorder or persistent depressive disorder, because I'm always depressed (since before I was 12, and it won't go away), but I literally wouldn't function if I went off my meds. So it is severe, contrary to what Google tells me about PDD.

Anyway, turning to Tumblr because my therapist hates telling me anything about my diagnosis

[pdd-culture-is]

PDD culture is finding yourself not wanting to get better because you've been this way for so long that you feel like you'll be a completely different person if you get better

Watched thor love & thunder tonight and all movie critique aside I felt really called out by the 'it's better to feel like shit because you lost love than not feel any thing at all' bit.

Like, my aroace ass with persistent depressive disorder is sitting right here. No need to come for me like that and call my life shitty.

Also, as a side note, I think life is way better during my zero feelings hours than my life is shitty bc people don't love me hours

This is Sayori from DDLC (doki doki literature club) SPOILERS

Sayori has chronic depression and has been dealing with suicidal ideation for an unknown number of years.

Negative stereotypes? Tw: Suicide

At the end of act 1 of ddlc sayori kills herself via hanging, on screen. An important note here is that ddlc is a psychological horror game and this is one of many serious events featured in game. While the game can be read as "disrespecting" sayori, many people (including myself) feel that she is an incredibly accurate and important representation of depression. While many members of the fandom treat her suicide as a joke, it is never played lightly within the game.

signs it's getting bad again:

your mind becomes foggy

finding yourself staring into space more often

(not blinking)

sluggish movements

body aches for no reason

crying at nothing/everything

intense anger that comes quickly but takes forever to go away

so so tired

feeling so bored you wish you were dead

the emptiness. the fucking emptiness

[eternaldisciple]

Once i stop having ceaseless depressive episodes and develop a consistent sleeping schedule and halt the endless cycling self destrucive narrative I designed, it is over for you hoes.
