[screaming internally]

don’t you just love how mental disorders are basically buy one get seven free

I didn’t even really want the first one my mum made me buy it

Mine’s a family heirloom, passed down through generations

caring about stuff is honestly such bullshit

No offense but those of you who comment shit like “um have you ever heard of BPD?” on posts about not being an abusive shithead are contributing to the stereotype that people with bpd are doomed to be terrible people forever and I hate it

having bpd doesn’t excuse abusive behaviour. if you engage in abusive behaviours because of your mental illness, you’re the one who should do something about it, not the people around you.

me: hey friend: *after two minutes of not replying* hey whats up me: *washing the gasoline off myself* not much hbu

just now realized the implication is the person was about to light themselves on fire. i’ve had this tagged as #me for months thinking it was just a post about loving gasoline

I honestly feel like re-traumatizing yourself isn’t coping it’s self harm and normalizing this as coping is not only maladaptive but harmful in that it makes people, no less minors, think re-traumatizing themselves is a good way to cope and then “I do x horrible thing” can be excused by the words “to cope” afterwards

Okay also when someone asks you to repeat what you said and it requires all your energy to say what you just said again even if it was just a few words

fake conversations in your head of you venting to someone

how I stay sane
