how do you actually explain the brutal ache you feel when you are being consumed drop by drop until there is nothing remaining in your ocean to give and all that is left is a glacier unwilling to melt for it knows the storm it will unleash leaving you unable to look in a mirror afraid of the truth it will find written in big bold letters in the anxiety font and all you can say is

"why can i not go out with my friends?"

there are moments when you need to realize as a woman you need to stop accepting that men can't comprehend what your saying about your emotional needs and wants.

they understand when they're dead wrong,

they understand when they aren't listening

they understand when they are being hard headed

when they are being bigoted

when they are being assholes

especially when they reach a certain age, it becomes clear to them to a point where they can point it out themselves even amongst their own.

Men are not stupid. they know what they are doing, they know how they are moving. they can see what their patterns garner and will stretch it as far as they can to not address it. especially if the issue is with them, only addressing it when it creates tension & discomfort for themselves.

Treat men, especially adult men, that are fully grown and love to hark on about their years of experience, act as if they understand the way of the world, move like their way is the only right way and is non-debatable unless given a good reason, like adults.

they can handle being called out

they can handle how what they're doing is making you feel

they handle it just like how they can "handle" life, finances, & self

do not baby them. regardless of upbringing.

(believe it or not they are adults just like us, self aware too)

they do not spare us when they want to let us know what's up regardless of how it makes us feel, and that's without the guarantee that they will deliver gently. "because that's just how it is". "that's just life and we need to suck it up".

It is time for them to manage their own emotional weight, gone are the days of holding back or not wanting to say anything because you don't want to cause any problems.

We only have one life and we can not waste it on suffering in silence.

"More about widely (and especially in the media and in fashion), I've noticed a pattern which is moving us towards the glorification, sexualisation and sensationalisation of women being 'psycho'. Stand this against the backdrop of women and girls being objectified and dehumanised since birth, with entire industries marketing to them as if their only worth is to be sexy and desirable - and we have created a dangerous new trend in which women and girls are being seen as sexy, but psycho."

- Dr Jessica Taylor, Sexy but psycho (2022)

Women’s Mental Health Secrets

[tomboymikayla]

Original: Miloh 

[daisyjones456]

They told her real women don't smoke

They spend their time doing crosswords and looking up wedding dresses on vogue

All the good girls don't have desires of a woman

All the good girls drink poison and say it's the best drink they ever had

One day she looked at herself in the mirror, a prude and a slut

And nothing she does is ever enough

That's how she knew she's become a woman.

Boys will be boys

But girls never get to be just girls

And when she calls out all the men in her life

For the shit they put her through

She's termed overdramatic and cruel

Fragile masculinity

It's a curse, they never see.

No baby or a thousand

She'll be judged as a single woman or as a mother

A woman doesn't choose her battles

She chooses the only form of judgement she can tolerate

They say 'don't be like the other girls'

Yet when she wears anything that doesn't suffocate her, she's not feminine enough

Double standards,

They don't understand

Femininity's a spectrum.

Smile and never show pain

Somehow she's the weaker sex

Do they not understand the language they speak?

Does it not hurt them to see their daughters in pain?

Even when she bleeds she's supposed to be clean

No discomfort, suffer in silence

Don't speak, she's puppet hanging from a thread

She's made mistakes, she's not perfect or pure

She'll pay her dues, masquerade her blues

She's a good girl who lost her way,

She fell down a rabbit hole

We call it planet earth

She's a good girl, she's just lose her way

But no one cares

Cause she lives in a man's world.

Liptember - raising awareness for Mental Health

https://karenjcarlisle.com/2023/09/01/liptember-raising-awareness-for-mental-health/

September is Liptember!

Liptember started in 2010 to raise awareness for women’s mental health issues. While mental health impacts all genders, it’s important to acknowledge the different life experiences, triggers and issues -such as postnatal depression and menopause. Women experience PTSD at a higher rate than men. And 1 in 3 will experience anxiety. (Beyond Blue  has more information on stats).

As many of my readers know, I experience anxiety and have been diagnosed with PTSD (and more recently fibromyalgia). This month I’m wearing Liptember lippy in support of my fellows with anxiety and PTSD, and those with other mental health issues.

Please donate  via https://www.liptember.com.au/karenjcarlisle

I’m hoping to raise at least $300 this month. Help me support research, programs and services to help woman around Australia, whe breaking down stigma attached to mental health. Beneficiaries include The Royal Women’s Hospital, Lifeline, BATYR, R U OK? and others.

Understanding the Importance of Women's Mental Health: Breaking the Stigma

In today's fast-paced world, women face a multitude of challenges that can take a toll on their mental health. Whether it is the pressure of juggling work and family responsibilities, societal expectations, or hormonal imbalances, women often find themselves struggling to maintain their mental well-being. Unfortunately, mental health still has a significant stigma, making it difficult for women to seek the help they need. However, the good news is that female mental health hospitals near Delhi are stepping up to address this issue, providing safe spaces and professional support to women facing mental health challenges.

Understanding the Importance of Women's Mental Health

Maintaining sound mental health is crucial for women’s overall well-being and quality of life. This is because mental health issues can affect every aspect of their life - relationships, careers, and physical health. However, due to societal expectations and gender norms, women often feel compelled to suppress their emotions and put others' needs before their own. This can lead to the development of mental health issues like anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other mental health conditions.

Breaking the Stigma

One of the biggest barriers to women seeking help for mental health issues is the stigma surrounding mental illness. Women fear being labeled as “crazy” or weak if they admit to struggling with their mental well-being. This stigma not only prevents women from seeking timely treatment but also perpetuates the cycle of shame and silence. To combat this, it is crucial to promote open conversations about mental health and educate society about the importance of seeking help.

love when men cry about body hair bc "it's hygiene" and yet 15% of cis men leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all and an additional 35% only just wet their hands without using soap. that is nearly half of all men. that means statistically you have probably shaken hands with or been in direct contact with one of these people.

love when men say that women "only want money" when it turns out that even in equal-earning homes, women are actually adding caregiver burdens and housework from previous years, whereas men have been expanding leisure time and hobbies. in equal-earning households, men spend an average of 3.5 hours extra in leisure time per week, which is 182 hours per year - a little over a week of paid vacation time that the other partner does not receive. kinda sounds like he wants her money.

love that men have decided women are frail and weak and annoying when we scream in surprise but it turns out it's actually women who are more reliable in an emergency because men need to be convinced to actually take action and respond to the threat. like, actually, for-real: men experience such a strong sense of pride about their pre-supposed abilities that it gets them and their families killed. they are so used to dismissing women that it literally kills them.

love it. told my father this and he said there's lies, damned lies, and statistics. a year ago i tried to get him to evacuate the house during a flash flood. he ignored me and got injured. he has told me, laughing, that he never washes his hands. he has said in the last week that women are just happier when we're cooking or cleaning.

maybe i'm overly nostalgic. but it didn't used to feel so fucking bleak. it used to feel like at least a little shameful to consider women to be sheep. it just feels like the earth is round and we are still having conversations about it being flat - except these conversations are about the most obvious forms of patriarchy. like, we know about this stuff. we've known since well before the 50's.

recently andrew tate tried to justify cheating on his partner as being the "male prerogative." i don't know what the prerogative for the rest of us would be. just sitting at home, watching the slow erosion of our humanity.
