Hi @Mirvish I need to get accessible seats but can only do that over the phone. There's a dollar sale for only today but your box office phone lines are closed. What do I do? #AODA
@Eman_8282 I can't answer your questions, but I can congratulate you on your new addition to your family! I'm excited for you for all the adventures you'll have with each other. 🐾😺
Suicidal ideation, for many, isn’t about death.
It’s about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isn’t always “not wanting to be alive”
It’s just not wanting to live like this.
PAY ATTENTION, check on your spouses, boyfriends, and girlfriends. If somebody’s sleeping all day, distancing themselves, you notice a lack of interest in everything, they’re barely eating, barely sleeping, they’ve got that “it is what it is” mindset all the time, there’s something wrong.
Depression is REAL, anxiety is too. You never know what a person could be going through or feeling...
Check up on them.
Some signs of depression no one talks about:
• Brushing your teeth once every few days
• Avoiding mirrors
• Zoning out during conversations
• Sleeping all day and still feeling tired
• Random bursts of rage… then guilt
• Staring at your phone, doing nothing for hours
It’s not laziness. It’s survival.
One of the most dangerous thoughts isn’t
“I want to die.”
It’s:
“Everyone would be better off without me.”
That thought doesn’t come from truth.
It comes from shame, trauma, and feeling unseen for too long
It’s fucking awful
Things my mental illness sometimes stops me doing..
• picking up the phone
• leaving the house
• eating healthy
• exercising
• laughing
• doing my hair or makeup
• getting dressed
Sometimes being able to do one of these things is a victory.
Retweet if you understand
People love to preach “mental health matters”…
Right up until someone’s symptoms become inconvenient.
Then suddenly it’s attention seeking,
being dramatic, or making excuses.
Support isn’t real if it only exists when it’s easy.
@mikejwhelan Thank you for all your updates, and for being an inspiration. I can't imagine facing so much all at once with such dignity and grace. I'm sorry I can't help financially, but I can send healing vibes and support to you, Rebecca and Bella. I'm also sorry you have to go through this
