I was just beaten, stabbed, and shot all in just the matter of a few days, each day a different incident or attack by an individual in my family and outside of my family by ppl around me, I had to get several stitches in my legs, arms, hands and even some in my face after being jumped and beaten and stabbed, I had a bullet pulled out my leg and my side, I was shot 8 times, 4 times in the legs and 2 times in my right lower abdomen and another 2 times in my left lower abdomen, I been in and out of the hospital including the mental hospital for suicide attempts as well as being harmed by transphobic ppl, I've been struggling paying for costs of a vet visit after my kitten was killed by my moms dog after she had her dog kill her, I've been raped, molested and abused by my family and ppl in my schools and neighborhood and I just get tired of being in this same situation surrounded by poverty, I live in a neighborhood where I'm constantly threatened for being a black trans woman and I have NO ONE TO TURN TO, I've tried getting help finding a new job but it's harder after constantly being fired for molestation at work and sexual harassment and constant work abuse I've been thru whether it was employees or managers targeting me with harassment and bullying within the workplace and it's been hard in general trying to get help with financial situations, paying for medical bills and get med assistance from the government and the city as well as mental health help for therapists, psychiatric help, and safe space havens or shelters, I've also been from mental health facility shelter to homeless shelters and been harassed, abused, raped and molested in EVERY SINGLE ONE, i am currently living in a rundown home surrounded by poverty and bad conditions, rusted bursted pipes, i have no plumbing, no water, no way to get anything to drink, to clean stuff with, i dont have water for dishes to be cleaned, laundry to be washed, or to bathe or shower in or to take a piss or shit in either and there are several dead cats in my basement as well as raccoons from all the holes in the walls, I had to freeze in the winter and was trying to get help from the city with some government assistance and I'VE YET TO GET ANY HELP, ANY THERAPISTS FOR MY MENTAL HEALTH I'M STILL ON A QUEUE, I HAVE NO HELP FOR MENTAL HEALTH MEDS, OR PSYCHIATRIC HELP, I can't seem to afford to get help with much even after succeeding my Gofundme goal because I had to use most of that money for food for me and my cats and keep cleaning products to get my home clean WHICH IS STILL A MESS. so what i need anyone to do for me if yall POSSIBLY CAN, is reblog this as much as you can and please share my links to donation help with pet food, water, meds, med help, mental health help, finding an apartment, getting a bed or mattress, and any daily needs and necessities IF YALL CAN.
My goal is to get at least $2500 to $3000, I know it's alot but rn I need as much as I can possibly get, yall can send anything, nothing is too small it's ALL APPRECIATED. IF PPL CAN SEND AT LEAST 25 OR 30$ EACH IT WOULD HELP OUT SO MUCH, BUT AGAIN ANY AMOUNT IS APPRECIATED. THIS is REALLY IMPORTANT!!....I'M TRYING MY BEST TO SURVIVE RIGHT NOW!

Being black is getting treatment for everything except your mental health.
Being black is knowing there's something wrong but your family cracking it down to white washing
Black ppl deserve access to diagnosis. Black ppl's mental health is just as important. Being mentally ill or neurodivergent isn't "white sh*t" and perpetuating that racist stereotype will only hurt our community.

Have I stated how much I hate the whole "Strong Black Woman" archetype and how much it's hurt me as a disabled person? I could go on for hours about how much this has such a detrimental effect on disabled black people. (And honestly just any in general who doesn't fit inside the mold.) But honestly, I'm just too tired of being forced into a role that I can't fill. It's taxing for me both physically and mentally. I wish more people would just understand that I can't do it.

Since black women are so hyper sexualized I feel like no one will believe me. No one will see me as a victim of sa. I’m supposed to be this strong black women but I’m not, I couldn’t fight back.

just a little shout out to the black boys/men: i love you and you have every right to cry and be vulnerable. you have a right to talk about your feelings and put your guard down once in a while. you don’t always have to be tough and you don’t always have to be the pinnacle of black masculinity. showing emotion is not feminine nor a female trait, it is what all humans are born with. you are not soft for crying, crying shows that you have held a burden/shown regular emotion and you’ve been strong enough to finally let it out. (not saying that if you aren’t able to cry, you are not human)
i know therapy and mental health is severely untouched in our community but just know that you can always write down how you feel, putting your emotions into healthy coping mechanisms. the world treats y’all harshly but you can be soft with yourself, be good to yourself because you’re the only you you have. you may feel like the world is against you (which it is) but you can always talk to family who you feel safe with.
you feeling emotions is not a crime.
you feeling emotions is not a crime.
you feeling emotions is not a crime.
you feeling emotions is not a crime.
YOU FEELING EMOTIONS IS NOT A CRIME.

As a mentally ill person, I strongly believe in having mental health groups, such as suicide prevention groups, include mainly people who have lived experiences with mental illness, and who are passionate about helping others who are also mentally ill due to ableism and capitalism, cause if you can’t truly see what the fuck I’m going through, and relate to me on some levels, I don’t give a fuck about anything you say. It’s just surface-level nonsense.
You might as well just tell me “it gets better” or “get help” and then pretend I don’t exist while I continue to suffer.
We need people who truly understand, and who know what it’s like being mentally ill and discarded for that, and who are passionate about awareness and change, because they are the ones who can actually touch you in a way no one else can. They will see you as a person rather than some Other who needs to be pitied and fixed. I’m tired of “professionals” who’s only experience is having studied mental illness through either textbooks full of ableism, where no mentally ill person is allowed to have a voice, or through watching mentally ill people like humans at a human zoo. Most of the time, they have absolutely no idea what the fuck they’re doing, cause at the end of the day they only see you as a nuisance rather than a person in need struggling in a capitalistic society that thrives off draining you, and leaving you hopeless.
It’s even worse as a black person. You might as well not exist at this point. You’re suppose to be Strong and Resilient™.

I was just thinking about how the only neurodivergencies that black people acknowledge are ADHD, autism, down syndrome, and schizophrenia.
Even then ADHD is seen as the dumb/problem child disorder
Autism is only acknowledged if you have high support needs or are nonverbal no matter how visible your autism may be.
Schizophrenia is just the crazy man on the street that everybody knows has something but no will do anything to help.
Non-black nds reblogs are nice. DO NOT DERAIL.

The spiderverse short came out that's supposed to focus on Miles and his mental health issues and of course 'those people 'making it all about Gwen 🫠
Sadly it sounds like this short kinda has to in order to connect with ATSV in any way
Because they sure made it seem like it was all about Gwen the first 30 min and then some
“It focuses on his mental health, and he now needs to connect with friends and loved ones for help” and yet ATSV makes it seem that was never a thing that was brought up until now(atsv time). Gwen was the main thing on his mind. Ganke who?

Black women's mental health is not taken seriously AT ALL
The fact that the racist bias that Black women are strong and independent affect Black women and our daily lives everyday is truly awful.
We aren't allowed to be symptomatic or visibly hurting without everyone expecting us to pull our selves together at the drop of a hat.
If we express depressive symptoms were lazy, angry, and weird.
If we set boundaries were aggressive, rude, or even in some cases "over-sensitive".
If we actually get angry were a threat to ourselves and others and need to be locked up.
The world is constantly berating and harassing Black GIRLS specifically because any aesthetic outside of the stereotype is considered us being "white". Or "Not acting Black". This leads to alot of Black women/girls hiding our true interests and never allowing ourselves to be soft, vulnerable, and have safe spaces.
And please know that while this effects ALL Black women this ESPECIALLY effects dark skin women.

Are there any communities for black men who’d like to participate in a similar community (like black girls breathing)?
Check out Black Men Yoga Initiative
