Hello my name is Kristen, I’m 17, and I am a MTF transgender woman. I recently came out, and my parents are very proud of me, much to my surprise. They are more than willing to let me transition, and they are looking for a gender therapist right now. We are very tight on money and their insurance does not cover any transgender related health care, so everything...

Please stop fucking acting like Macklemore is this special snowflake for being a rapper who supports gay marriage. I know yall love to pretend that black people are homophobes, so obviously the music we make must be homophobic, but that is bullshit and Wacklemore is not the first rapper to...

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.

There is something very interesting and strange about overhearing your roommate have sex. Unintentionally, of course. I’m not that creepy and I just want to finish my paper and go to sleep.

The DIY Couturier: 21 Tips to Keep Your Shit... →
rosalindrobertson:
A while ago, I penned a fairly angry response to something circulating on the internet – the 21 Habits of Happy People. It pissed me off beyond belief, that there was an inference that if you weren’t Happy, you simply weren’t doing the right things.
I’ve had depression for as long as I can…

Recovery
Expectation: I feel a little bit better today!
Expectation: I feel a little bit better today!
Expectation: I feel a little bit better today!
Expectation: Hey, I think I feel pretty good!
Expectation: I guess that means I'm normal now! Time to go live a normal life!
---------------------------------
Reality: I feel terrible.
Reality: I still feel terrible.
Reality: Is this seriously "recovery?" This sucks.
Reality: I don't want to be thinking about all of this shit, this is exhausting.
Reality: I guess today's not so bad.
Reality: Today is bad again.
Reality: Today is bad, but I think I'm starting to understand why.
Reality: Wow, how long has it been since I cleaned my room?
Reality: Cleaning my room didn't make me feel any better, but hey, room's clean.
Reality: Whoa, okay, I need a shower. And maybe a haircut? Definitely a haircut.
Reality: Everything sucks.
Reality: Okay, except you.
Reality: And you too, I didn't mean that you sucked.
Reality: And that thing that I like is pretty cool.
Reality: What was I talking about?
Reality: Oh, THAT'S why my ex broke up with me.
Reality: Wow, it turns out that was totally my fault?
Reality: I was the jackass.
Reality: Holy shit, I am such a jackass.
Reality: Everybody must hate me.
Reality: EVERYBODY HATES ME.
Reality: Okay, how could everybody hate me? I mean, even if I'm a jackass, the Law of Averages dictates that SOMEBODY out there would probably like me anyway.
Reality: Why would everybody hate me anyway, I'm awesome.
Reality: ...I'm not that awesome.
Reality: Sometimes I'm pretty awesome, though.
Reality: OH MY GOD I HATE MYSELF
Reality: WHAT IS THIS, I'M RIGHT BACK WHERE I STARTED
Reality: EVERYTHING SUCKS, THE WORLD SUCKS, I SUCK, NOBODY WILL EVER LOVE ME AND I WILL DIE UNMOURNED AND ALONE
Reality: ...What the hell was that about?
Reality: Anyway, gonna get stuff done.
Reality: Gonna get stuff done
Reality: Getting stuff done
Reality: WHY DO I FAIL AT EVERYTHING
Reality: WALLOWING
Reality: WALLOWING SOME MORE
Reality: Okay NO MORE WALLOWING, we've talked about this, we're not doing this right now.
Reality: ...I can't believe that worked.
Reality: Huh.
Reality: So hang on, is this it?
Reality: I mean, is this recovery? Am I doing this right? Is it going to be over soon?
Reality: I just want to be normal.
Reality: I am such a ridiculous trainwreck of a human being. How do I even exist? Why do I get to have friends? Why do you people talk to me? There's so much about myself that I really don't like, and there's probably even more stuff that I don't even know about that isn't too hot, either. And I'm working on it, but man, it's hard.
Reality: ...I just realized that everything I just said is normal.
Reality: Oh my God, am I already normal?
Reality: I'M ALREADY NORMAL. THIS IS NORMAL.
Reality: It's...not exactly everything I was hoping for, to tell you the truth.
Reality: ...Oh well.
Reality: Today was okay.
Reality: Maybe tomorrow will be better.

everything feels a lot right now
it just feels really a lot.
i can’t quite get a grip on it, everything kind of swirling about unable to decide what it is: is this happiness? is this waking up? is this nostalgia, depression, is this close to the heart or too far away or rotten in the middle? just slippery, on purpose, like bar soap too small? I don’t know I don’t know I...

Also, if you are going to date someone with a mental illness (or any illness) make sure you have accepted that they might not get better for a very long time, if ever.
Do not enter the relationship thinking that you can fix them or that they will be fine…
dionthesocialist:
You got out of bed this morning. When just being alive is a struggle for you, don’t believe for one second that existing through the misery is anything less than an affirmation of your endless strength. You have overcome things that would’ve crushed anyone else. You are stronger than you will ever know.
I wanted to type “I’m so tired,” but that’s not true. I just can’t sleep. I also haven’t posted anything of my own in a long time. Just feels weird, or wrong, or something. No trust in myself. Not a safe space for me anymore. Out and about in a few hours…

Fill your blog with your own face
Show off your arms, thighs, ass, shoulders
Make pages and pages of your own teeth and hair
Dedicate space to loving the cracks in your lips and the chewed parts of your fingers
And if you are called vain, then you have succeeded
In getting others to notice
How fucking beautiful and important you are
Forever reblog.
