I've noticed over the past few weeks I'm no longer immune to the kids' sneaking up on me yet at the same time I have developed a 6th sense for where exactly in the house the cats are at any given moment.
Is this the toxoplasmosis settling in?
How did I get so good at tearing myself down? With bats labeled 'selfworth' 'existential' and 'past trauma' if I let go I can pulverize myself in moments.
And those are just the most familiar bats I wail on my psyche with.
I have more bats.
@bpdbadass I hope you're OK. It is a beautiful world when you are finally able take charge of giving yourself the room to breath in it. Its not an easy thing to do, it can take years you're not even sure you have, but you will get there!
Hard to get care unless you're having emergency/breakdown, no guarantee of continuing care afterward, prescriptions you're already treated like a criminal for receiving, drug shortages on top of that. It can be damn near impossible if you don't have the wealth for mental health
Trying to navigate the mental health system would drive anyone crazy. Imagine doing it with a mental illness. It is ridiculous! #mentalhealth#bipolar#Autistic
This also includes reporting people on this hellsiteโฆDO NOT REPORT PEOPLE for talking about suicide, suicidal ideation, etc
Just donโt do it, itโs not even close to okay
If you are worried about someone, ask them privately if they are okay
I feel like this is a good time to remind people
Do NOT call the police when someone is having a mental health crisis
Police donโt know how to deal with these situations & are more likely to escalate situations leading to death
People need hospitals & medical care
@bpdbadass Just remember, you're really strong to put all this out there and discuss yourself with yourself & the abyss of the internet so openly. Stronger then you already know, and it sounds like you know yourself enough and are honest with yourself. You'll get there. You got this.
