Why it’s hard to talk about mental health:

You've had negative experiences opening up in the past

Feeling ashamed

Worrying that you'll be seen as weak

It's against cultural norms to talk about

Difficulty opening up about vulnerable topics

Worrying the other person will feel burdened

Feeling like you'll be misunderstood

If you talk about it then it makes it real

Fearing that it will lead to rejection

Fear of being labeled or judged

y'all

I had to get up and go to an appt this morning

and I made it on time and everything

and now I am sitting in my car in the ramp

because now I have to drive home

and I just don't wanna

/I am so tired

/I am so tired *of being tired*

I mostly like non-city driving (which is what I have here)

I have an audio book to listen to!

And yet

Another of ‘those’ posts crossed my dash recently that shocked and pained me.

It made the point that therapy for mental health issues might not work. You might find an unprofessional therapist who cannot be trusted or one who wants to shove pills in your face and tell you to go away without doing anything else, and both those things really might fuck you up.

But you know what will 100% definitely fuck up your life?

Unresolved trauma. Untreated mental illness.

I have seen it and still see it in some of the people closest to me. People with such severe depression that they can’t make friends or hold down a job. People who have such little hope they give up on finding better things and settle for violent, nasty or simply loveless relationships which increases their misery and hopelessness. People who can’t have normal relationships with anyone at all because of their issues and have become progressively lonelier and more depressed and less able to cope over time. More people than seems right who have self medicated themselves into a mental institution or serious addiction or died because they overdosed or had a serious accident under the influence. And those who have tried to kill themselves. Some who succeeded.

I have been that guy myself. I have been the person who said, fuck seeing a doctor, I’m just going to get on it and bury it. I’ll get through this alone - high or drunk, or both. And I tried to end it, twice, before I got over my sense of deserving to suffer, that life was supposed to be painful and miserable, and sought help.

I get so angry and so sad seeing posts that push this fear of therapy on the slim chance that it might go badly.

People often need help. Sometimes they need medication.

It is completely irresponsible to push a rhetoric encouraging people to not seek the help they need.

It is OK to be afraid yourself - therapy is *a lot*; but it is not ok to fear monger to vulnerable people.

i have only cried in front of a therapist twice, event #2 was today 🙃

in all seriousness he helped me make some connections that never occurred to me before, and the emotions i felt as a result were overwhelming. i can't wait until i switch insurance and i can do this outside of emergencies. i'd really be best off seeing someone every week, or on some regular basis.

when were u diagnosed with bpd?

just asking bc i think i have it but im too scared to talk to my doctor about it x)

a few years ago

heres a tip. Avoid getting it on any official record. Depending on where you are, you can be denied further mental health support because a lot of psychs will refuse to look at patients with bpd because of the stigma around it

Sometimes I feel like if I do one thing wrong, the entirety of the internet is going to come crashing down on me like a raging tsunami.

does anyone’s else parents make them feel fucking stupid and useless after making one mistake and then they just expect you to ‘try harder’ even though you ARE and you’re burnt out from trying to pay attention and be considerate and keep on top of chores and go to work and do everything else but you never seem to please anyone enough and they’re ready to fucking explode at you or are you normal

Speaking of reading! Look what Storygraph made me:

I read a whole 37 books! (That feels so much better than the *nine* in 2022. My goal was 26 and I did BETTER! This year I'm going for 52, wish me luck. 🍀)

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

#i originally posted this as just a 'hey remember how fuckin bad middle/highschool was? shit was wild' type post but now #there are a bunch of teens in the notes being like 'oh my god are you serious? it gets better? im not stuck in hell forever??' #and im reminded that the only people who told teenage ella 'it gets better' were speakers at mental health assemblies #aka the least relatable people alive who were seemingly born to lie to you #so. uh. yeah im a certified adult who isnt here to lie or sugarcoat the realities of being a teenager #the only thing more certain than the pain is the transcience

people need to understand that once you go through your worst time alone, you really don’t care who stays in your life anymore.
