Diathesis: a film by Lyric Seal and Nikki SilverDiathesis dances through the panic attacks of 3 queers of color, who are heroes in their own story.
My very good friend Lyric and I are running and Indiegogo Campaign to raise money to pay our performers! You can read more about the project, watch our video and donate HERE
“…Diathesis is the fairytale inspired story of three very powerful queer people of color, who all express themselves through dance, and who all have a very important task in common, that of surviving and moving through a panic attack. For those of us who experience mental illness such as chronic anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, depression, etc, who have a variety of triggers for our trauma and reactions, this is no small feat…”
Please consider helping us make this film a reality and not make us broke doing it!

This made my stomach drop and a piece of me died.
Same.
No one ever thinks they’ll be diagnosed with a mental illness. Just have to live life the best you can!

Day 10
For those who struggle with PTSD, communication, listening, and a lot if times getting outside helps them more than sitting in a Doctor’s office. But the Doctor is still an important step in the healing process. Helping them work through the hell they dealt with daily in war.
Doing pushups is nothing compared to their struggle.
Call a Buddy today…just check in…
I, Jaysen Sneed, am doing 22 push ups per day to help raise awareness of the Veteran suicide problem.
The goal is to remind us that Veterans are still fighting and they need our support.
We encourage you to reach out to the Veterans in your life and remind them that they have your support and love!
Suicide is never the answer.
- A new video will be posted today and then each day for the next 21 days
- How it works; video yourself executing 22 push ups to your ability level.
- Post the video to Facebook and other social media using hashtags below.
- Call out your friends, family, Battle Buddies…anyone…the sky is the limit. The goal is to raise awareness for our Service Members who are battling demons.
Get some!!!

TW: child abuse
I’m dmn TIRED of child abuse victims and just abuse victims in general who have the privilege of getting therapy and meds WHO THINK IT’S OKAY TO SHAME OTHER VICTIMS WHO DON’T HAVE THAT PRIVILEGE!!
I’m tired of seeing the
“ I didn’t stay in my victomhood, I became a survivor! not a victim!”
“ I didn’t stay stuck in my victimhood! ”
“ ptsd is for victims not survivors!”
Like no no no no
You are a person who can afford therapy that’s it!
You are a person who was helped by therapy and isn’t harmed by your ptsd as much because a therapist taught you ways to cope and you probs got some meds to help like which is cool for you
BUT
People who are still living and struggling with their PTSD are just as strong and survivors.
I’m glad that you got all this help but don’t you dare shame people who are handling this sht all by themselves.
They are handling it all without the privileges that you have and they are beyond any words of strong.
Also shut your traps about
“ PTSD is for victims not survivors!! ”
PTSD is for people who are surviving through trauma..
People living with PTSD are survivors.
You’re just promoting rpe culture by shaming victims for living with PTSD.
Not everyone can afford therapy and meds..
I am so bummbed guys I finally upgraded my phone this past week and I do not know my password for this account…I have been logged into this on an app in my phone for almost 3 years and before that I used to get on my lap top, haha I have had this account for a while. So I cannot recover my password for an email account I stopped using 5 years ago…so I am so sorry but I had to make a new account. This was actually my second blog under this account but my new one is my personal account but it’s still all about PTSD and my experience with that. Hopefully this will actually be more helpful for me in terms of maintaining the blog and keeping up with everyone’s questions and positive words. I may or may not check in on this account just because I still have my old phone connected through WiFi. I hope you all are doing your best right now and I hope I can continue to help as many of you as I can! here is the link for my new account @tones-of-home
I’m no ones first choice, not even second, and that really sucks.
I’m so ugly not even makeup can hide it
Yes I am angry. I’m furious. How dare you take my whole life away from me the way you did. For years I beat myself up about it; thinking all this was my fault. But its not and it never was. Its yours and it always will be. And guess what? 5 years on and I’M STILL GAY. So yeah that thing you were trying to prove? Proved absolutely nothing. I’m now 18 years old, I still struggle to sleep some nights, I still remember your face clearly, and sometimes I don’t think I can do this. But you know what? I can do this and I will. Not just for me, but to prove to you that I can survive all the pain, hurt and confusion you put me through. And I will say this loud and clear because I’m not afraid of you anymore, you can’t hurt me. I am a survivor, not a victim and I will conquer this fight and come out so much stronger
