Friendly remind to neuroatypical people: You are valid. Your illness is valid. You’re not valid “in spite of your illness”, you’re not valid “even though you’re mentally ill”. You’re valid. Period. You matter, your feelings matter, your thoughts matter, and you are important.

It’s actually much less common for a neuroatypical person to only have one diagnosis, really. A lot of neurotypical people don’t care to realize just how much mental illnesses tend to intersect. So, honestly, it’s not that far-fetched for someone to have depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and other illnesses in tandem.

I HATE TUMBLR MY SCREEN JUST LAGGED OVER THAT POLTERGEIST AD WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND ALLOWS JUMPSCARE ADS THAT ARE HARD TO SKIP AND LOOK OUT FOR

Having depression does NOT mean you are sad 100% of the time.

Having an eating disorder does NOT mean you have to be skinny

Having social anxiety does NOT mean can’t ever talk to people.

Having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder does NOT mean you are constantly cleaning.

Stereotypes of these serious mental illnesses and many others need to stop.

HAVING TOURETTES DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU RANDOMLY YELL CUSS WORDS

Self. Harm. Is. Not. Art.

Suicide. Is. Not. Beautiful.

Depression. Is. Not. Pretty.

Anxiety. Is. Not. Cute.

Fucking stop.

but also you can self harm and still be a piece of art

you can be suicidal and still be beautiful

you can be depressed and still be pretty

you can have anxiety and be cute

you can have a mental illness and still be beautiful but mental illness itself is not beautiful in any form

quite happy this second part was added

How Do You Describe the Person You Hate?

Now that you know, don’t you understand why?
Why I don’t like to talk about myself.

–Jack Ramirez

I swear, my list of diagnoses is getting so long it may as well be a shopping list.

“Honey, I’m going to the store, do you need anything?”

“Oh, yeah! Can you get a couple packages of depression, and maybe a carton of anxiety? Also, if there’s a good price on them, pick up a pound of panic attacks. They’re in season right now, aren’t they?”

Protect people with anxiety disorders in the work force at all costs.

Calming myself down.

I’m gonna watch some 6teen.

Then in twenty minutes I’m going to keep doing homework.

I’m gonna eat some cup noodles.

I’m gonna be fine.

Deep breaths, young demigrump.

–Wishing Stars–

empty skies full of shooting stars

wishless granters from way afar

I will leave my window ajar

to plead my case, although bizarre

however rare I want one thing

please say it’s something you can bring

it’s lighter than a mere shoe string

harder to find than angel wings

safety, peace, joy, and happiness

divine relief from my distress

not from a pill; that’s not progress

but true freedom from my life’s mess

Introvert =\= Social Anxiety

fun fact: you don’t cure depression by telling me i have nothing to be sad about

another fun fact: you dont cure anxiety by just getting up and doing whatever it is that makes you anxious

3rd fun fact of your day: you don’t cure an eating disorder by asking people to drop the act and eat normally.
