Pay no mind

mental health status: need to look at the sea for hours and stay quiet

do you feel like a second choice to everybody or are you normal

us in bed last night watching one of our favourite shows together was probably the most at peace i’ve felt in a long time

i want to show this to everyone i know

I'm so fucking tired of being mentally ill

I cried, I broke down, no one, not even a single person asked me if I was okay.

i really shouldn't have to say this but,,, mentally ill people are allowed to be happy. if you have depression, or anxiety, or bpd, or bipolar, or ocd, or psychosis, or ANYTHING, you are allowed to be happy. if you were severely depressed for several years and are feeling happy, that does not mean that you don't deserve to say you're mentally ill and just because you made a better recovery than maybe some other people that doesn't take away from what you've been through. if you have been depressed and you haven't self harmed or tried to kill yourself it doesn't take away from the pain you've survived. if your anorexic and one day you're eating and you feel okay, it does not take away from what you are going through. if you have ocd and you are able to resist compulsions it does not take away from your ocd. if you have anxiety and you don't have anxiety attacks it doesn't mean that your anxiety is better than other people. if you are mentally ill and one day or one moment or one week or one month or whatever you feel good do not let your mental illness guilt you into thinking "i can't be depressed if i feel good right now" or whatever. your experiences are your own, and the thing you should be most proud of is surviving, not comparing yourself to others experience, not guilting yourself, and not feeling bad about your experience. you have been through hell and you deserve to wear your battle scars no matter what they look like.
