there’s a difference between “just do a little yoga it will cure your depression forever :)” and “going for a run won’t solve your problems but it will make you feel a little better and that’s the first step” but this site seems to treat them as the same thing

Period feels that don't get talked about enough

-constant feeling that you need to poop -crotch pains -those moments when you can feel the blood dripping out -cramps for days before you actually see any blood -simultaneous nausea and ravenous hunger -simultaneous WANT SEX NOW and DON’T TOUCH ME EVER -maximum rage at cis men* -got sensory issues? now they’re a lot worse -got mental illness? no you don’t, any and all of your emotional problems can be blamed on your uterus -that legitimate breakdown you had last week about a serious issue? PMS -got any preexisting health issues? they’re all worse now -gross gross gross gross gross gross gross gross

*NOT because cis men are inherently bad or the only people who can be bad, just because they don’t experience these problems and other groups of people who don’t have periods typically have other difficult experiences connected with that fact, such as dysphoria, misgendering or medical problems. I know this isn’t cis men’s fault, but I can’t control that it makes me angry.

i want to reside in a universe in which you never hurt me

to read during a panic attack:

it won’t last forever. it will be crazy and overwhelming for a while, but it will stop eventually. i promise.

breathe through your nose, it will help slow you down.

call a friend if you need to talk, they will listen. even if they can’t help much, get your thoughts out if you need to.

don’t scratch at your arms or legs, don’t pull at your hair. try to be gentle with yourself please

biting your nails isn’t going to help anything.

turn on some rain or waves sounds, or a comforting song

if you can’t stop shaking your hands out, clench them into fists, don’t dig your nails into your palms.

if you’re rocking back and forth, listen to a slow song and gradually rock to the beats.

don’t listen to the intrusive thoughts.

when you’re calm, pick yourself up, and freshen up if you can. even if it’s just splashing your face with water. just a little something. take a shower if you’re able.

breathe steady. you’ve gotten through this before, you can do it again.

it’s not fair that you got to hurt me when all i wanted to do was love you, it’s not fair that you lost feelings and changed your mind and it’s not fair that you’re doing fine and i’m still hurting and it’s not fair that i still miss you

There is a specific crushing feeling when everyone leaves the house to do something fun and you are being left behind because you don’t have the spoons to go. The moment the door closes the silence hits you, growing increasingly loud with each passing minute. It is an abrupt reminder that you don’t have a choice but to be responsible and think of your body first. That while everyone else is out wasting their youth, you are doing your damnedest to preserve what is left of yours.

Confession #3,436

the question ‘how are you doing?’ makes me feel so uncomfortable because like are they 1) referring to my illness? or 2) just trying to be polite/make small talk?
