my therapist said “people who struggle with anxiety & depression can't remember a lot, bc they're too busy focusing on how to get through each moment so they don t actually experience what is happening to them, causing them to not form the memory they were supposed to” felt that.
Ngl, adult friendships require grace. People are very busy. People are healing. People are growing. People are taking time for self care just like you. Less communication isn't less love. Check in not out.
Suicidal thoughts are often subtle.
They whisper instead of scream.
They sound like:
I don’t care what happens to me.
It might be easier if I wasn’t here.
I feel trapped in a life I can’t escape.
I don’t see a future for myself.
Everything feels too big, too loud, too heavy.
I’m numb, but it still hurts.
I’m here… but I’m not.
These aren’t “dramatic” thoughts.
They’re red flags.
They’re silent cries for help.
They’re signs someone needs compassion long before crisis.
is life when you have a mental illness just a series of relapse recovery relapse recovery until you die. like do you just get better for a little until something triggers It & the cycle restarts & you Hope you heal Again. or don’t…just over & over & over & over & Over forever
Women love sex just as much as men. However, a woman’s libido is almost entirely dependent on her psychological state.
If she feels safe with you, if she feels seen by you, if she feels desired by you, her sexual appetite will become even more insatiable than your own.
i told my therapist quietly,
“i’m not suicidal… but i’m scared of how empty i’ve been feeling lately.”
and she didn’t panic.
she didn’t tell me to “cheer up.”
she didn’t minimize it.
she just took a breath and said,
“that kind of emptiness usually means you’ve been carrying more than a person should have to carry alone.”
and in that moment… something in me finally loosened, like i wasn’t fighting the weight by myself anymore
First father-daughter dance held at Angola Prison for inmates who haven’t seen their daughters in years and never had the chance to dance with them 🥹❤️
Cried so much this year, I really hope I’m much happier next year. It’s one of the things I’m praying for. A joy that stays. A joy that’s not easily shaken.
