using fiction to cope with your trauma is a healthy way to cope having comfort characters is a healthy way to cope writing dark fics of your comfort character killing a fictionalized version of your abuser is a healthy way to cope
you're not hurting anyone, and your way of coping doesn't make you a bad person, but please stay safe ♡

i hate having to pretend to be happy because my intense emotional pain is a result of something 99.9% of people would find pathetic and laughable. yeah i felt like i was stabbed in my heart and i cried myself to sleep for a week because i am in love with a fictional character and also i am another fictional character from the same manga. no i can't just "grow up" or "touch grass" and become a normal person who goes on dates with real life people. i am mentally ill and it shouldn't be an insult or shameful to be

I realize now that I have a dog and see the reality of the pain that suicide causes for people that, the thought of having it as an option has always been a great comfort to me. And it's off the table now, things get bleak- fuck things ARE bleak - I'm filled with thoughts of self-harm that I'm too afraid to act on out of fear people will only think I'm attention seeking. I mean, having a partner who regularly sees you naked makes it pretty damn hard to hide cuts or bruises. And I don't want to feel like I need to hide from my partner, he's my safest space. But sometimes I wish I still had the option of suicide. Like I'm so tired. I lack confidence in my strength and ability to navigate the system we live in and survive and live well. I'm not sure I'll ever be truly happy and I know that's not a thing but still, stability and whatever else. And I don't feel like I have any reason to be miserable, I am just mentally ill and sometimes everything gets so hard and exhausting and I have no support system right now. No friends. The only people I have to vent to are my partner and my roomate (who is also a close friend) and my partner can't be my best friend, boyfriend, and my whole support system- that isn't fair to him. But I get so alone, wishing someone would reach out but I know I need to reach out first. I feel like im digging a hole but I feel like everything is so out of my control. God. I don't feel like I can keep going.

i'm not the romanticized version of a mentally ill person. i don't stare out of windows while it rains. i don't get to just fall in love and suddenly its all gone. it's ugly. it's real fucking ugly.

Can I just vent real quick? About yet another shitty experience I’ve had with mental healthcare in the U.S.?
Vent below the cut. Tw: medication, anxiety
So I started what is more or less my dream job a few weeks ago (yay!), but I’ve found over the past few weeks that this job is triggering as hell for me (fuck!).
My anxiety has been through the roof for these past few weeks, and over the past week, I’ve had severe panic attacks that are nearly impossible to get myself out of regardless of what coping skill I use.
Knowing it would take at least a week to see my regular psych med provider to see about making adjustments, I went into the local behavioral health urgent care (which I’m sure is SUCH a great resource for so many people! I don’t want to shit on it, because I’m sure others have had good experiences, I just did not.)
It is worth noting at this point that the urgent care is a part of the facility I go to for psychiatry regularly, and I was reassured multiple times that they had access to my chart which includes my med allergies.
On my med allergy list is buspar, which is noted as giving me psychotic symptoms. Also on my med allergy list is a note about seroquel potentially causing psychotic symptoms (I took it at the same time as another new med, so we weren’t sure which med caused the psychotic symptoms.)
So imagine my surprise when I was offered buspar. I responded with “I can’t take buspar, it causes me to hallucinate. That should be on my allergy list.” To which, the provider scoffed and said “Well, we don’t do benzos here.”
I have no desire to take benzodiazepines. I am terrified of taking them due to my parents being addicted to them at various points in their lives. This is not to med shame anyone who does take them. I know they can save people’s lives, but just know that I was not seeking them out by any means.
She suggested increasing my propranolol, and then decided against it since my blood pressure was “already on the low end” (she put the cuff on my fucking elbow).
At the end of the appointment, she decided to send over a script for seroquel, and they made me an appointment to meet with my regular psych med provider next week. While I’m reluctant to try this med again, I am willing to because this anxiety is *unbearable* and this is my only option for now.
So I get home, and call the pharmacy to see how much my med will cost. The med provider never sent over the script, and when I called the urgent care to say “hey, I think the system might have glitched. Could you send the script over again?” The receptionist said “Oh sometimes pharmacists just say that they didn’t receive the script. Just keep asking them about it. We’ll double check on our end though.”
The pharmacy did not receive the script before they closed today. I hope they get it early tomorrow. This sucks ass. I am suffering.

Reminiscing on the villains of the media I consumed in my childhood and I’m getting so annoyed at a realization (I know I overuse that word but I’m tired and sue me).
Im getting reeeeeeal tired of fictional villains being the only characters to show almost all of, if not all of the signs of ASPD. And that’s most often one of their biggest traits. Give me something else. Give me family trauma. Give me gaslighting. Give me PTSD. Give me anything other than undiagnosed and untreated antisocial personality disorder for fuck’s sake
Give me treatable motherfuckers who actually get help for their mental conditions and aren’t treated by everyone else as completely evil and crazy for something they can’t control
Give me doctors who recognize the signs and get them the fucking help they need because god knows nobody else will treat them like they’re normal human beings
Give me “heroes” who recognize and understand that just because they have depression/anxiety/schizophrenia/bipolar disorder/ASPD it doesn’t mean they’re irredeemably evil
GIVE ME REGULAR ASS CHARACTERS WHO HAVE IT AND AREN’T COMPLETELY DEMONIZED FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING STILL DECENT IN THIS WORLD
Or fuck, if you’re going to treat it realistically AT LEAST MAKE THEM NORMAL MFS WHEN THEY AREN’T ACTIVELY BEING VILLAINS

Feeling parasuicidal right now lol
I just had one of my worst meltdowns ever and almost ruined my relationship with my partner.
I really want to die but i know i don’t have the guts to kill myself. So if i did attempt it would just be in the hopes of going to a psych ward or getting more care. I just want to not have to deal with anything ever again. I want to never have to do anything for myself and mostly just hid in a room and not speak to people. To just live with ear defenders on in a barely lit room.

therapists saying you're surprisingly self aware is like being called a pleasure to have in class for adults
