Americans can’t afford shit.
We’re in a war none of us understands. People are hurting.
And what is this sociopath focused on?
His stupid ass ballroom.
@JoJoFromJerz Me: never got help in school for being neuordivergent because I was "smart"
My child: currently fighting to get help in school because hes neuordivergent and "He's autistic but he's so smart"
Idk if they know this but being smart doesn't meltdowns from being overstimulated!!!
I told my therapist,
"I feel safest when I do everything alone." She didn't even ask why. She just said: "That's not independence. That's grief." And I swear, I felt something in me break open. Because it is grief, isn't it? Grief for every time you asked for help and no one showed up. Grief for being the child who had to hold it all together while everyone else fell apart.
Grief for realizing, way too young, that no one was ever really coming to save you. You didn't choose to be strong you had to be. Because breaking wasn't safe. Crying didn't change anything. And needing people only led to disappointment, guilt, or punishment. So you grew up over-prepared. You move through life with backup plans for your backup plans. You double- check doors, messages, emotions everything. You carry the weight of "I'll handle it" even when you're breaking inside. People call you "independent," but they don't see the version of you who secretly wants to collapse in someone's arms and actually be caught this time.
“so what do you like to do for fun” survive 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖😖 i am a shell of a person. a caricature of a human. i only exist to suffer
If you have a disability, an illness, a health condition you truly learn how evil most people are. You will be abandoned, mocked and degraded then left at the margins trying to assemble some sort of life while people look down on you. It’s a pervasive issue.
Having a strong sense of justice but a shit memory is so deeply infuriating because I KNOW I know things and have previously done deep research to lead myself to the conclusions I have but if you put me on the spot to give super specifics my brain will short-circuit
everyone who has struggled with depression is really strong and brave bc it’s one of the hardest things to deal with and i’m happy you’re still here. unless you’re me where in that case ur a lazy pathetic bum who needs to get it together
Be careful with people who have HIGH FUNCTIONING DEPRESSION.
Let's go through this together 👇👇
1. They get up, get dressed, go to work, and cry in silence when nobody’s watching.
2. They check on everybody else, but don’t feel safe asking for help themselves.
3. Their smile is practiced, their “I’m fine” is automatic, their breakdowns are private.
4. They appear to be okay, give solid advice, and hold everybody down, but when the world gets quiet, their thoughts get loud.
5. You think they’re okay because they’re productive, but they only stay busy to avoid feeling anything.
6. High functioning depression doesn’t look like laziness, it looks like overworking, overthinking, and never resting.
7. They keep it together in public, but fall apart in the shower, in traffic, or right before bed.
8. Just because they don’t say “I’m struggling” doesn’t mean they’re not drowning inside.
9. They apologize for being “too much” when they’ve really just been holding too much in.
10. They make everyone feel better, but go home feeling empty.
So when someone says “check on your strong friends,” Do it. Because the ones who always say “I got it” are usually the ones who don’t. They suffer in silence. They laugh through pain. And they master how to function when they’re barely holding on.
