So
I recently had a fairly devastating nervous breakdown. This past year has been very hard on me. Since August I have hardly been able to leave my bed for various reasons and I’ve found myself in this situation once again. It gets… tiring. I haven’t been well and I’ve been too embarrassed and afraid to ask for help. Instead I’ve lied and gave people false optimism, when...
friendly reminder that:
you are not weak if you want meds for your disorder
you are not weak if you relapse once
you are not weak if you relapse a thousand times
you are not weak if some kinds of therapy don’t work for you
you are not weak if some kinds of meds don’t work for you
you are not weak if you have a mental disorder.
I would change that to simply “disorder”

I need to talk to you guys
I need to be honest. I’ve been lying a lot for the past couple of weeks. I can’t even say how many times I’ve said that I am okay. I’m not. I am not okay. And I just want all of you guys to know that. My hips are injured very badly again. I can’t really walk and I am in an overwhelming amount of pain. I’m afraid. The last time this happened it was 3 months and...

I have a few important things to say:
Having a mental illness does not excuse you from being an asshole, and it does not free you of the obligation to really apologize and make it up to a person when you have caused them harm.
You are allowed to terminate a friendship if a person’s mental illness is aggravating your own mental illness or personal issues and stressing you out.

mansplained:
I’ve been struggling with chronic depression and generalized/social anxiety for many years (though I’m only 19), and I’ve only just recently been seeing doctors and a therapist about it. I’ve ceased therapy for the time being, however.
My therapist at the time was a woman, who was generally very kind and understanding (though on the whole not very...
Congratulations; you made it through another day!...

Your record for longest amount of consecutive days without dying has reached a personal best. Well done, you.

people who are able-bodied: Okay so we have illnesses that leave most sufferers unable to do daily tasks daily, let alone work and earn a living? So, let's make any hope of feeling better cost one million dollars per week, all physical therapy four million dollars. Also, if you want to see any specialist, a further ten million dollars. Oh and when they try for any income support, let's deny their pain and leave them penniless. Yep.

As a teacher, I give girls what I hope is a lot of attention. I don’t know if I give girls their fair share, but I aspire to, especially after noticing that boys are willing to use their greater share of teachers’ attention to get girls who they feel aren’t being quiet and...

When I stopped giving a shit about male approval, I became about twice as confident in myself, and my insecurity levels went down substantially. 10/10 would recommend.
