alright everyone, we’re picking ourselves up and going again. We’re putting ice on our split lips and busted knuckles. We’re doing our dishes and our laundry even if it stays hanging on the line for four days. We’re texting our friends back. We’re wiping the dust off our clothes. We’re booking and attending medical appointments. We’re taking the empty dishes out of our bedrooms. We’re sitting outside in the sunshine. We’re holding our heads up. We’re apologising to the people we’ve hurt. We’re forgiving ourselves.

having empathy doesn't make someone inherently a good person.

yes, people without empathy or with low empathy are more likely to hurt you without realising, due to the fact we often don't understand how our actions affect you or might make you feel. but that doesn't mean people with empathy are better or never going to hurt people, nor does it mean everyone with low/no empathy will hurt someone or that they should be treated as ‘evil’ if they do.

if anything it just means it's often more malicious when people who do experience empathy hurt you, because they knew the impact it would have and yet still did it anyway.

as someone in my comments recently quoted:

‘the most vicious acts of cruelty require a high degree of empathy.’

How hard is it for people who don't have schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder to not say "schizo"? Just say the whole word. "Schizo" feels more like a thing than a person. It feels like the epitome of our stigma. Just say or type the whole disorder name, and when in doubt, use person-first language. It's honestly the least you can do.

I 100% believe that the main reason people are scared they'll lose their creativity after they get help isn't because of some sort of self hatred most of the time, but because of the very material reality that the psychological industry exists to make people "normal" rather than happy. Like, when getting "help" means conforming to social standards, and your art is something that actively makes you less normal in the eyes of society, than it makes sense that you see that "help" as a threat to your existence as an artist. Most psychiatrists would openly admit that they'd consider turning an independent creative into an emotionless businessman as a win, why is it suddenly a conspiracy theory when the patient understands that just as well?

when i was 13 my boyfriends father called me a nubian princess. i didn’t know where that was, all i knew was that he called me this because i was black. it made me uncomfortable but i smiled anyway.

when i was 13 i was molested by a boy i liked and his friend who were younger than me. i smiled through because i wanted the boy to like me.

when i was 15 i wore a bandana over my natural hair at school and was called into the office because it didn’t represent the school properly, but my friends wore them over their straight hair.

when i was 16 a girl in my class told me there was no way i could be a ni**er or get offended because that was only reserved for dark skinned men.

when i was 17 my boyfriends mother complimented how well spoken i was for someone like me.

when i was 19 i was raped by someone i thought was a friend, and i still can barely remember.

when i was 20 i fell asleep at my boyfriends and while he went to get beer his best friend assaulted me.

at every age i was told how beautiful i was “for a black girl”, how surprising it was that i was so pretty. how absolutely mind boggling it was for me to prefer something other than rap music.

i was never bullied.

i was well-liked.

i had a lot of friends.

i had a lot of male attention.

i had an amazing high school experience.

-but i still had these things happens. no matter how good my experience was i still had bad things happen. we really need to start striving towards a place of understanding and acceptance before we place judgement on each other. it’s extremely crucial to pause and reflect before we start handing out judgement and resorting to harmful actions. everyone has a story much like mine, so instead of hate let’s come together and learning empathy and respect because that is what creates a safer space for everyone.

remember behind every username is a real person, an individual with hopes, dreams, fears struggles just like you. let’s start choosing compassion. let’s stop calling each other names and making accusations…because this divide that keeps happening isn’t doing anyone any good.

again…behind every username is a real person.

"girls with daddy issues are so hot!"

Don't seek out women who are clearly struggling just so you can fulfil your fetish.

Men will categorise certain mental illnesses as "hot" but only when they come with the "quirky" aspects.

For example, cluster b personality disorders are seen as "hot" due to their symptoms (like what men perceive to be clinginess), DID and OSDD are seen as "hot" because of the chance of having "freaky" alters. Depression is seen as "desirable" because men have saviour complexes and want to "fix" women with it. Anxiety is seen as "hot" because having your girlfriend being shy about being around your friends is "cute".

In a few weeks that girl with cluster b disorders will be called "narcissistic" and "crazy" for exhibiting symptoms of her mental illness. That girl with DID/OSDD will be called "boring" and" weird" due to them not finding any freaky alters, but just normal ones. That girl with depression will be called "Lazy" and "disgusting" the second her depression gets worse and she starts neglecting her physical hygiene. That girl with anxiety will be called "A basket case" and an" attention seeker" for having a panic attack at a social event and causes strangers to stop and stare.

Men just want vulnerable women who they can coerce into doing certain things, but when their vulnerability comes with their own issues then they don't want em no more.

So when that girl with daddy issues isn't secretly some kink addict and is instead a girl who has mental health issues and potential trauma from other men, don't say you didn't know what you were gonna get. You were chasing a rainbow and now you're getting mad that there was rain and it wasn't entirely sunny.

This is why I hate men.
