to my abusers
the next time someone tells me that antidepressants dampen emotions and “turn people into zombies/sheep”, i swear to god i’m going to throw my prescription bottle at their head and yell aH YES SO EMOTIONLESS I AM A TOTAL ZOMBIE AS YOU CAN TELL BY THE BLINDING RAGE I HAVE TOWARD YOU AND YOUR BIGOTRY
dissociation sucks
Unlocking a traumatizing memory that’s haunting you like
You know what absolutely boggles my mind? That healthy people exist. Genuinely healthy people. No mental illness, no physical illness, no chronic illness. Just healthy. What a life that must be.
i need one of those “fragile, handle with care” stamps they put on breakable packages but like. all over me.
The trauma side of tumblr really seems to focus on survivors of csa, and that’s completely understandable, but I don’t see enough posts about kids who had to deal with serious neglect/emotional abuse. It can be devastating as well
shoutout to kids who had to grow up too fast because their parents never allowed them to be a kid
shoutout to kids who had to fend for themselves every day, or even little siblings
shoutout to kids who felt like the parent
shoutout to kids who cling hard to people because they never got the proper love and care that a parent should provide
shoutout to kids who have health issues because they were never taken care of, and it’s hard to recover from
shoutout to kids who felt abandoned and empty and like they had no childhood because their family wasn’t there
You’re all valid and I’m so sorry for what we’ve had to go through. It’s tough. And I hope we can all heal from it
-giving ur friends the same information over and over because u forgot u ever gave it to them
-opening up a new text post only to forget what u were going 2 say
-never changing a wall calendar/needing to look up what day of the week something will be
-literally not being able to remember what happened yesterday/an hour ago/five minutes ago
-forgetting where ur going/what ur doing in the middle of doing it
-flipping through the beginning of a book because u forgot some characters and plot development
-making a typo, make a mental note to fix it, get up to do something, keep typing without fixing the typo
-”haha ur memory cant be THAT bad”
-it can be
-reminding urself 2 do something but u forget
-writing reminders, forgetting that u wrote a reminder/forgetting what was on the reminder/forgetting where u put the reminder
-”just put something in ur room out of place before u go 2 sleep” and ur room has so much shit on the floor u wouldnt even be able 2 tell whats out of place
-alternately: doing the above and then forgetting what it was supposed to remind u of
-did that happen or was i dreaming
-i was gonna put something here but i FORGOT it and i HATE it
a lot of people don’t seem to understand that “being suicidal” doesn’t mean that you’re actively attempting suicide, or harming yourself. you could be suicidal and not self harm. you could be suicidal and not attempt.
so please dont think someone is faking their suicidal tendencies just because they dont “seem like it”. just because you dont see physical scars on them doesnt mean theyre fighting a hard battle in their head.
Learn to stop saying “it’s okay” when shit really isn’t .
we’re gonna delete all the abusers
