They Say Your Head Can Be a Prison

And remember, this is 2016. The government itself starves Native Americans who just protect their own land. 

The media is silent, as usual.

God bless these warriors. 

Modern technology is making us anti-social!

Or wait or anything that requires you be on your feet for 6+ hours

Like you know how your feet feel all bruisey on the bottom after work and the pain still won’t be gone by the next morning and you have to deal w/ that pain AND the pain of the day to come

Well like my doctor told me that that bruisey feeling is cause standing on your feet all days causes fluids in your body to pool in your feet

So like at night he told me to elevate my legs with two pillows so the fluids can drain easier or w/e and ho damn.

It helps so much, Jesus Christ. No more limpy mornings.

Idk if this is even new information for y'all but just in case

Having a mental illness is not a choice.

Suffering from mental illness is not a choice.

The symptoms from mental illness are not a choice.

How you deal with your mental illness is not a choice.

And how people see your mental illness is not YOUR choice.

I don’t choose to have crippling anxiety. I don’t choose to have my insides in constant turmoil and I certainly don’t choose to believe my brain and the world are against me.

I don’t choose to get tired or angry at the most inopportune times, it just happens. It’s an illogical disease that attacks your brain and the symptoms reverberate through your body wreaking havoc wherever it goes. Every night I fall asleep wishing and hoping with everything in me that I can wake up relieved. I’m not even asking for happiness, just relief. Relief from the pressure on my shoulders to act “normal” or have a happy face. I want relief from the fear of average everyday activities and from the fucked up scenarios and “what-if’s” that my brain imagines.
