#what are the signs of depression

[inkskinned]

they want to talk about mental illness and acceptance and how everyone is a little ocd it's cute and quirky and their "intrusive thoughts" are about cutting their hair off and you say yours are about taking a razorblade to your eye and they say ew can you not and everyone is a little adhd sometimes! except if you're late it's a personality flaw and it's because you are careless and cruel (and someone else with adhd mentions they can be on time, so why can't you?) and it's not an eating disorder if it's girl dinner! it's not mania if it's girl math! what do you mean you blew all of your savings on nonrefundable plane tickets for a plane you didn't even end up taking. what do you mean that you are afraid of eating. get over it. they roll their little lips up into a sneer. can you not, like, trauma dump?

they love it on them they like to wear pieces of your suffering like jewels so that it hangs off their tongue in rapiers. they are allowed to arm-chair diagnose and cherrypick their poisons but you can't ever miss too many showers because that's, like, "fuckken gross?" so anyone mean is a narcissist. so anyone with visual tics is clearly faking it and is so cringe. but they get to scream and hit customer service employees because well, i got overwhelmed.

you keep seeing these posts about how people pleasers are "inherently manipulative" and how it's totally unfair behavior. but you are a people pleaser, you have an ingrained fawn response. in the comments, you have typed and deleted the words just because it is technically true does not make it an empathetic or kind reading of the reaction about one million times. it is technically accurate, after all. you think of catholic guilt, how sometimes you feel bad when doing a good deed because the sense of pride you get from acting kind - that pride is a sin. the word "manipulation" is not without bias or stigma attached to it. many people with the fawn response are direct victims of someone who was malignantly manipulative. calling the victims manipulative too is an unfair and unkind reading of the situation. it would be better and more empathetic to say it is safety-seeking or connection-seeking behavior. yes, it can be toxic. no, in general it is not intended to be toxic. there is no reason to make mentally ill people feel worse for what we undergo.

you type why is everyone so quick to turn on someone showing clear signs of trauma but you already know the fucking answer, so what's the point of bothering. you kind of hate those this is what anxiety looks like! infographics because at this point you're so good at white-knuckling through a severe panic attack that people just think you're stoic. even people who know the situation sometimes comment you just don't seem depressed. and you're not a 9 year old white kid so there's no way you're on the spectrum, you're not obsessed with trains and you were never a good mathematician. okay then.

mental illness is trending. in 2012 tumblr said don't romanticize our symptoms but to be fair tiktok didn't exist yet. there's these series of videos where someone pretends to be "the most boring person on earth" and is just being a normal fucking person, which makes your skin crawl, because that probably means you are boring. your friend reads aloud a profile from tinder - no depressed bitches i fucking hate that mental illness crap. your father says that medication never actually works.

you still haven't told your grandmother that you're in therapy. despite everything (and the fact it's helping): you just don't want her to see you differently.

#writeblr #warm up #to be clear let me state again: i think you should id however you fucking want if it helps you seek peace #but there is a HUGE difference between being like '.... im undiagnosed but i think i might be X' #and a person who is like ''omg my intrusive thoughts made me buy a birkin!!!'' #babe mine made me throw up bc they disgusted me so much <3 #mine made me hurt myself evenly. even when i wanted to stop. i have had to put my hand on the stove MULTIPLE TIMES #and again i'd rather have 10000 people get help for something they don't need help for #than have 1 kid NOT get help #but there has GOTTTTT to be a middle ground here #bc at this point it isn't ''raising awareness'' #it's . fucking misinformation. and ''what this picture says about you!!!!!'' #& yes! im mostly talkin about ppl who are actually disgusted and offended by signs of mental illness #but use it to defend THEIR actions #like babe you hate when kids start yelling in the walmart? but you YOuRSELF can yell? #you are depressed so it's fine you were cruel to your spouse? #but if your spouse spends too much time in bed she's a lazy fuck? #your partner needs to do everything for you bc of your history in trauma? but when SHE has needs she's being clingy and gross? #HUGE difference here between whom i think most of my followers are btw. like #all it takes is fucking anyyyy empathy or kindness . like. #anyway it's hard to explain im hoping we all know the person im talking about lol

homestars handwriting 2000 / 2005

#obviously this was them either not remembering how he wrote in the past or just not caring to commit to it #im sure there are other inconsistencies with the other characters’ handwriting and drawing #BUT i love to see this as him becoming more laid back and less feeling like he has to appear 100% cool and flawless #but also becoming more generally depressed along with that. like just not being sure what he’s supposed to do with his life #u feel me. that being reflected through his handwriting degrading in care and quality #ofc there’s no objectively correct way to write but u get what i mean the 2000 handwriting is WAY more fancy looking #i was gonna say it also could just be that it’s a high school yearbook signing but like… idk if he’d care enough #to make his writing all pretty and sofisticated just for that #homestar runner

stacy is sooo interesting because she's in love with house but knows that they will never ever be able to have a healthy, stable, sane relationship because they're too similar so. she finds house-lite instead and marries him and. essentially moves on with her life! and is successful in this because she's a moderately well-adjusted person!

wilson, in contrast, never manages to escape the inevitable, in spite of his best efforts to find a house-lite of his very own, because he's an absolute fucking freak and ends up glued to house to the bitter. bitter end

#yeah im too sleepy to revise this. UNFILTERED posting wooahh #some may b shocked but i do actually read thru most of my posts several times to make sure i didnt accidentally write mein kampfe 2 #recently ive come to the realization that i am in fact not an incredibly chill person #and that the constant paranoia and fear in which i live my life is actually PROBABLY a symptom of severe anxiety #like damn. ive always known that im pretty prone to depression but ive preetty much always been aware of that #my mom is a chronic depressive so i know the symptoms i know the signs i have a pretty good arsenal of healthy coping mechanisms #UNFORTUNATELY mommy's mental health problems did not help her not abuse me as a child #so i ended up being a terribly anxious kid who was constantly being screamed at and told i was overreacting (because i was. because i had #a severe anxiety problem that was making me react irrationally.) to everything all the time #which is you know. it is VERY difficult to deal with a mental health problem when you arent aware you have a problem! #its incredible how much. better. my life has gotten since i figured this out and started actively trying to work out what triggers it #and being able to like. realize 'oookay. there is an Issue here and it needs to be overcome' #instead of just beating on myself constantly for not being able to do things without feeling sick or getting breathing problems! #anyways. trauma dumping in tags is over now! #house md #hilson #greg house #james wilson #stacy warner

scribblezone again testing out brushes, early grey oru, and ace attorney-style psychelocks

#witch hat tag #orufrey #doodly. i like one of the brushes tho. #oh and i was thinking how the girls have qifrey's hat design but oru's (current) tassel and how that makes me feel #ppl will surely be thinking umm WHY do they have a different tassel to him unlike every other atelier ever. the whole tassel thing is just. #whatever. *keeps the rest to myself as i fall down a zelda-style chasm of emotion* #i JUST wanna know if tassel swapping is a cultural witch sign of commitment OR if it's something they just made up. JUST TELL ME. NAAOOOOWW #the girls are too young to hear about it because oru has the inbuilt belief that kids will mercilessly tease ppl #ok what is going on someone said the psychelocks art made them laugh and someone else said it made them smile #sometimes when i try to get out depressing ideas ppl are like hehe aww and then for those pink clothes i got surprisingly much sad response #it wasnt THAT sad........maybe. anyway genuinely interesting . this world is a mystery #i think its bc i mix humour & tragedy more than i ever imagined i would. i mean witch hat is like that so thats why im doing it. well anywa

while i get folks having mixed feelings on the noelle page talking about seeing susie bully kris, i do feel it is really in character for susie and kris to have had really troubling interactions in the past. like, she -did- try to bully kris, she -did- threaten them with physical violence on many occasions which, in chapter one, we see with her actually slamming kris into a locker.

while susie never escalates to the kind of violence she threatens to use, doesn't actually bite kris' face off or go out of her way to throw punches, her saying really horrible stuff like "maybe if you disappeared your mom would realize how much better her life is" does follow her pattern of saying really harsh things before backpedaling.

and that conflict is actually neat to see. kris seemingly shrugging it off, ignoring the threats and being way too ready to deflect an apple chucked at their head, is in line with their pattern of being concerningly detached from people. (it also hints at kris being so comfortable with susie's outbursts possibly from having experienced them before, able to know the apple was going to be thrown, and already somehow aware of how good a friend susie can potentially be. maybe... from a past reset...)

noelle being awkward and trying to laugh off the encounter also makes sense to me. 1) kris has potentially been picked on for all sorts of things (bratty!) so susie's behavior isn't New 2) noelle is an anxious and awkward person who doesn't know what to do especially when it seems like her childhood friend doesn't care about what just happened to them.

the kids are not alright but they have the spirit to wanna try to be.

#tratser talks about stuff #deltarune spoilers #spamton sweepstakes #deltarune #i am. soul aching about what kris's response was to susie #they're already dealing with divorced parents and have a lot of concerning signs pointing towards Major Depression #and i think what would've spooked susie so bad is kris. agreeing with her.

trying to get involved in palestinian organising in my city and the mosque it’s being held at is transphobic. lmao

#truly just such a fucking depressing time to be alive dude #really difficult not to feel deeply bitter and cynical about everything #like I don’t know what the fuck else to do I’ve signed and sent letters contacted reps etc

[gayforcarstairsgirls]

Great so now we're outing children/teenagers to their parents! And therefore possibly endangering them! Fantastic!

#kemi fucking badenoch #i genuinely cannot stand that woman #at a tory event one time she stuck 'male' and 'female' signs on the doors of gender neutral bathrooms #who fucking does that? #and who does this?? you are FORCING teachers to out their students #what if they hear by accident that a student's friends refer to them with different name/pronouns? #they have to report that home? #for some queer kids the ONLY place they can be themselves is at school with their friends (and even then it's limited) #and now kemi badenoch is taking that away as well #for FUCK'S sake #uk politics #trans rights #kemi badenoch #this is taken from a guardian article btw!! #sorry to be like #depressing on main lmao #but i can't rant abt this to my mum bc tbh she'd probably agree with badenoch #so tumblr it is #i am just #SO FRUSTRATED BY THE TORIES AND THEIR 'CuLtUrE wAr' #GROW TF UP AND GET SOME EMPATHY UGHHHHH #transphobia #tw transphobia

I think I got the fucking flu. I’ve been sick with viruses since the end of December. Can this just stop already? Please?

#personal #there are 3 signs I usually associate with me having the flu: #constantly needing to blow my nose #like it’s the worst sinus congestion I’ve ever had #second sign is constant discomfort in my lungs #third sign is huge increase in depression #guess what ya boy’s got going on?

[hunsa-jars]

Howdy peepers, I've been feeling pretty down lately but I think I'm on the right path to snap out of it!

See yall on monday hopefully

#to be honest recent political news got me anxious and just.. disheartened #not gonna lie rather depressed #but i guess that's a normal reaction #god it's just so awful #change of subject- i might be a bit burned out too because of all the stressing i subjected myself to this month #but worries be damned my grades ain't overall half bad #THO you just can't catch a break when it comes to college it seems #like we have to sign up for our classes on this website #based on your major obviously #and some people just don't pick the right classes hhhhh #and you see the waiting list for the class you need to sign up to is full because the goofs don't know what their course code is #which is weird like 😭 maybe there's a GOOD reason why your group mates' names aren't on the class list #because you didn't pick the right one aaaaaa #get outta here fella pleaaase #also on an unrelated note: it turns out i have a mild case of rosacea #it's not that suprising skin conditions run in the family #my mom's side of family at least #like my grandpa had rosacea. my mom has it too. my sister had acne (not anymore tho). my older brother too has something going on #i just thought i got lucky and inherited my dad's skin but guess not 💀 #funniest thing is that almost everything makes rosacea act up #heat? cold? spicy food? stress? exercise? stress? alcohol? GODDAMN SUNLIGHT??? #you name it #so yeahh not pleasant #if it won't get better mom will make an appointment with a dermatologist #uhh.. i guess that's all i wanted to say #for now at least #miss you guys hope all of you have been doing well :'> #random squeak

I have realized something hilarious

Not the poorest and richest students having the same initials XD

#twisted wonderland #twst kooky (🐰🌸) #even funnier because I hc Kalim as autistic + ADHD and Kooky is awaiting an official diagnosis to know if they're too 😭😭😭 #the funniest thing? I ship them with Jamil and she's Kalim's friend #what if they get each other letters because people keep seeing 'K.A' and thinking is the wrong one #imagine you despise the airhead chaotic nepo guy you have to serve #then fall for an airhead chaotic gal with his initials. Same energy except they're broke and depressed #AND THEN see the dumb dumb person you despise being all besties with your dumb dumb crush. How embarrassing for you Jamil #omg #what if they get each other letters because people keep seeing 'to KA' and thinking of the other #Or if they sign with their initials people believe it's the other #this opens the door for many scenarios I love it #twst mc #twst yuu #nonokoko ocs #also a small peak of my next birthday gift for myself

full fledged concept coming soon but long story short: hallmark movie-esque concept ft. finance girlie that's going through it & heads back to her childhood hometown she's spent most of her life trying to run from x the boy she used to beef with all throughout high school who is now running a successful business - the onigiri shop that is the only place hiring in the general vicinity.

osamu miya x reader, childhood nemeses to awkward boss/employee to friends to lovers 🤭

general things to tackle in here: what happens when we prioritize what other people's perceptions of success is over what makes you feel happy and fulfilled, getting off on the wrong foot (and then continuing to have that same foot be the one in ur mouth) every time you interact with the person who's literally your soulmate, vanity is so overrated (you grapple with going from six figure salary corporate girlie to literal fast food cashier), realizing that "starting over" can be either the worst or the best thing to happen to you in life, don't be mean to the boy next door - he might grow up to be a super hot business owner... and your future employer

#my suna post had me reminiscing HARD lol #i worked at h&m after rejecting the return offer from the bank i was so hyped to work for #only to come home (more like to my airbnb) miserable tired stress and showing the first signs of depression LOL #and so i've spent a lot of time 'playing catch up' and trying to prove to everybody who accepted their offers that hey im not a total loser #and in retrospect that was so silly #like why was i entering my senior yr of college at 19 so stressed over working a seasonal retail job #all bc i was so worried abt looking like a failure #no i just needed a check to fund my sephora habits omg #anyway yea a fun fic that lightheartedly tells u to stop worrying abt what ppl think is the “right” path to take in life. the right path #is the one where ur happy. the end!
