I’m about to lay one on you … the right telling me that my mental illness is my own damn fault, aka existing on an individual level, is just as bad as the left telling me that my mental illness is a social phenomena, aka existing on a systemic level
both of you are fucking wrong and also ablest by basically inferring in different ways that my mental illness is “fake.” The very first thing my therapist taught me was that my mental illness wasn’t my fault. Like, even if I change myself or change my society or change my circumstances, it was just something I was going to have to live with, and that’s okay.
I understand many people suffer from depression due to external circumstances and I’m really sorry about that. But you have to respect that I suffer from depression (technically bipolar disorder) because God baja-blasted me in the brain with a super soaker of Bad Chemicals. Your utopia-dreaming of erasing my mental illness through social engineering is ultimately harmful.
Maybe one day we’ll create better drugs or technology to better manage mental illness, I’d love that, but until then one of the key ways to managing it now is to accept it as part of ourselves.
Both personal choice AND the system we live in do effect how well we can manage mental illness, but neither is actually the root of it. Saying otherwise plays into a very prevalent and very old form of ableism that assumes that mental illness isn’tphysical.
Hell, I refused to take medication (to my own detriment) until my therapist asked me “Would you refuse to let someone with poor eyesight wear glasses? Would you refuse to let a diabetic person take insulin?” Mental illness is a physical chronic illness and contradicting that is actually a big problem for us and plays into an age-old form of prejudice.
All about EMDR! A lot of people have been asking me how it works, so I made a silly little comic doodle on Illustrator (just with my mouse, sorry it’s sloppy) about my experiences with it. *I am by no means a doctor, so please do some research on your own before making any decisions to do EMDR!*
I’ve also seen a lot of videos on Youtube of “DIY EMDR,” I would VERY STRONGLY recommend NOT using those. EMDR opens your emotional brain up so fully that it’s very overwhelming, and having a trained professional there to assist you is invaluable.
Hey, friends! Mod Coral here, I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD a month and a half ago, and I’ve started a blog detailing the healing process so far! :)
Guys I need help. I’m getting kicked out of my where I’m staying because of a bipolar freak out
I need to get into housing ASAP.
PLEASE help me :(
If anyone can donate for a hotel room, I’d appreciate it so much. I live in New England and it’s freezing right now. I won’t survive on the streets. :(
Ways to donate are in pinned comments
update: it’s icy and snowy and dropping down to single digits at night and I’m honestly scared.
update2/24/22: there’s a snowstorm that’s starting tonight & keep going til tomorrow. we’re supposed to get afoot or more.I don’t want to be caught in the snow if possible. It’ll be below freezing and I’m scared. rn the shelters are at capacity and the cheapest motel is $95/night. If anyone’s able to donate, or can boost this please consider it.. Thank you and I’m sorry. I just don’t kno what to do… (and yes, I’ve already applied for everything I qualify for + I am waiting for gov. assistance)
it’s getting scary on the streets. any and all help for cheap motel rooms for my safety would be so much appreciated…
Real talk though I got a dentist appointment May 5th. I need $3700 to get my teeth fixed. I am beggjng at this point but I can not look like this. I have no idea how to make myself more visible I would be so thankful if this would get funds to fix my busted grill. I feel so damn ugly right now I cant take it. Please boost this if you see this, reblog, copy the link and share on your twitter or facebook. Please, even a $1.00 help. Anything helps.
I am honestly so embarrassed and ashamed of myself right now asking, but at this point i’m more ashamed looking like I do.
I tried crowdfunding before but gave up, but now i’m determined just look at this

the blog is food that can be made without too much effort, with a ranking system by how much effort it takes to make it
they also have category options for gluten free, vegetarian/vegan, lactose free, etc.
if you’re disabled and have trouble cooking, this may be worth it to check out. if you’re not disabled or you don’t have trouble cooking, it’d be cool to signal boost it for those who do need it. for people with very few go to meals, food can be boring and repetitive, so this is pretty cool :*
Please apread this around, dear followers. As a disabled veteran with both physical disabilities and mental illness, especially when I was single, I would often go a day or more at a time without eating (or eating only food I could simply unwrap and eat or throw in the nuke for two minutes), not because I didn’t have any food, but because food preparation seemed like an overwhelming task. (Or because I forgot.) And my health suffered for it. This blog may not save a life, but it can significantly increase the quality.
