I’m queer and I care about the person I reblogged this from.

- it’s really not that difficult to tw your little aesthetic art pieces and your odd ‘edgy’ writing and those “nothing is real” posts because some paranoid/psychotic/disassociative/manic people may ACTUALLY be triggered by this and believe its real , you all show immense support for different ethnic groups and sexualities but never us (except unipolar/anxiety people) we really just need you to tw your posts.

- stop saying youre ‘so ocd’, that your ex is ‘sociopathic’, that your mom is ‘so bipolar’, that you ‘went psychotic’ before exams, that you’re such ’ a maniac ’ STOP USING PSYCHOSIS AND DELUSIONS AS AN AESTHETIC

- phrases like
“i can’t feel anything; i’m empty”
“i have no emotions”
“i can’t live without you/him/her/them”
“i want to die”
“i can’t get out of bed in the mornings”
are honestly, not for people healthy minded. yes in understandable circumstances obviously these would be acceptable for you to use but you are turning something that is actually killing us into your cliche so much that when we tell this to our doctors or counselors they just nod and smile because their last 28 patients said the same thing.

- songs like
Control - Halsey (Manic Depressive Disorder)
Borderline - Toves Stryke (BPD)
Obsessions - Marina And The Diamonds (OCD)
i am sorry but there’s no way you can actually relate to these songs as they’re based on actual mental illnesses and it’s lovely that you appreciate them but please stop using their lyrics and captions and bios. you again, are turning our symptoms into a cliche

- we say we cannot do the thing. we cannot do it. we can’t and so do not force us. do not laugh at us. we are trying so so hard just to survive. appreciate that.

- loss of someone to mental illness is incredibly difficult and confusing, but it does not mean suddenly you’ve actually experienced the troubles of mental illness. losing yourself to it first hand is a lot different, respect that most of us really do know what we’re talking about and you really have no say on what/how we should/shouldn’t do/act.

- be a decent person

- if you don’t get it, don’t talk about it

- FOR the love of guacamole please stop bringing up third world countries ; of course the predicament those people are in is awful, but stop fucking trivializing the constant horror that haunts us daily because it’s easier for you. fuck you.

- honestly just allow us to have a voice

skailu:

since being alone generally makes my paranoia worse, I figured I’d share some things I do to make myself feel safer.

• pulling down shades - helps you feel better by keeping people from watching you outside.

• keeping music on or watching a (non triggering) video/movie - helps distract you from any noises that you might perceive as dangerous.

• put tape over camera/webcam - helps you feel safer when using your computer.

• stay in contact with friends/family - knowing someone that cares for you is available is helpful.

if you have any of your own coping strategies feel free to add on!
(anyone can reblog this post)
