a scientist will see a mouse and say put that beast in a situation

one hard pill to swallow (that i had to learn myself) is that in order to actually learn coping skills and progress with living successfully with your mental illness is that you have to take action. whether that’s going to therapy or removing yourself from toxic enviornments/people, living your life solely for yourself or whatever. you can’t sit around venting forever and expect it will change. theres only so much understanding and patience that others around you will have. sometimes mental illness is a burden on others. it’s a burden when you have access to help and choose not to take it. sometimes it’s exhausting. there’s no magic day where it will all fall together. you have to actively make that magic.

creative writing’s just like yeah sure i can deal with my issues i just need to cover them in several layers of metaphors first

touch depression? with my bare hands? no hang on *invents a character* this will be my gloves

i love.... calm men. like some men just have this really soothing, gentle, calm aura. as a girl who is highly strung and often suffers from anxiety and paranoia, I love a man who’s good at comforting you, who’s relaxed vibe rubs off on you, talking to him eases your anxiety and you just feel calm and safe

i am SO PRETTY from a little distance, in a shaky selfie, passing by, in low lighting. it’s the added mystery. NO u don’t have to come closer, this is fine

the sun has no business tapping out at the tender hour of 5pm bitch i have depression
