Trigger warning: discussion of suicide, self harm, mental illness. I'm talking about BoJack Horseman lol, so also light spoilers.
I really love BoJack Horseman (the series, not the character) because I feel like it really accurately depicts mental illness (and I say that as a mentally ill person.) It so accurately shows the slide into absolute rock bottom and the way you just... live a very unhappy life for a very long time before you try to end it. I feel like people assume that it's like... easy? to decide to end your life or harm yourself and whatever else but it really really isn't. I hate how people call suicide "the easy way out" like honestly, neither healing nor suicide are easy. It's all hard. It's just hard to be mentally ill, no matter what you do. It gets easier as you heal, if you get to go down that path. But it's hard, all the way through. And the show shows that. It shows how you do so many shitty shitty things and you regret it and you feel guilty. BoJack has especially done... some very bad things, but it's still relatable as someone who's just made some shitty decisions while manic or depressed. The regret is so debilitating sometimes. Anyway, yeah, I just feel like it shows it really well.

Hello and welcome to my blog ☺️
My name is Shannon, I’m 26 and from South East Kent in England. I am a mum to an almost-three-year-old boy, called Kobi and a cat mum to many!
I am a CSA survivor and I run a small mental health support group on Facebook, currently known as Borderline Buds. This platform is a safe space for anyone who has been affected by trauma related illnesses and other ND issues.
I will later be making posts about my life’s journey, including diagnoses, medication, childhood trauma and parenthood. If you’re interested in any particular topics or have any questions about what I share then please feel free to send me a message.
My aim is not to trigger anyone but to spread awareness and use this place as an outlet. I hope that by sharing my story it will encourage others to find their strength to do the same. We may be lonely but we’re never alone.

TAKE YOUR MEDS.
Fr fr. Do not ever randomly stop taking them. I couldn't get my meds for 5 days and I laughed it off. Now I'm shaking like Rue from Euphoria and I can't stop crying. Take. Your. Meds!!!!!

Depakote: A Couple Months In
Hello Friend,
So as you might have read in one of my previous posts, my psychiatrist prescribed me Depakote and later bumped me up to 1000mgs after the tests came back a bit low. After that happened, there was about a month to two month span where I didn’t have any appointments with him. During that time, my moods were pretty intense. I mostly fell into deep depressive holes that felt a smidge difficult to crawl out of. Other than that, I felt almost completely numb. I had little to no drive to do much of anything other than basic tasks that were required. This was especially difficult because if I hate anything, it’s not being able to feel passion for anything. On top of all of this, I have gained a good 30 lbs since I have started this medication. Thankfully he was very receptive to my concerns and we made the decision of lowering the Depakote dosage and adding in some Wellbutrin. He said that hopefully the Wellbutrin helps with the depression and counteracts the weight gain. He said, if not then we’ll come up with another plan. I conveyed to my psychiatrist what difficulties I was having emotionally most of all. While talking with my spouse and thinking by myself, I realized that I have quite a lot of trauma that hasn’t been tended to. Some rather fresh and some dating back to my early childhood. Knowing this, I talked to my psychiatrist about getting into therapy again after around 5 years of not having it. He gave me some numbers of therapists to call that he thinks would be a good fit. I’ve reached out and I’m hoping to hear back from them soon.
I’m really hopeful about the changes that we’re undertaking with my treatment. I’m just thankful that I have a really good psychiatrist and that we’ve at least got a plan of going forward. I will say, these are just my experiences with Depakote and they will likely be different from person to person. Keeping that in mind these are my experiences and it’s a good idea to work with your psychiatrist and see how things go with you. I’m only here to throw out my experience that way you know about a possibility. Hopefully if you’re prescribed Depakote, it works on its own. For me, we’re still fussing with it.
I hope you have a great week. I hope you’re well. If not, try to keep with it and reach out when you need help. There is no shame in needing assistance with mental health.
Here’s a reminder to drink fluids (preferably water), eat something, take them meds, go to your appointments, attempt to do something pleasurable, be kind to yourself, and all that good stuff.
Love always,
S

sometimes it's hard not to romanticize my own mental illness and trauma. like, if this isn't all some plot point in a movie where I'm the protagonist and it all gets to end with me finding true love and happiness, then I swear I will hold a knife up to God's throat and make him beg for my forgiveness.

Shit post of the day
why is it so weird being stable, like I'm ngl its pretty uncomfortable to be stable. Don't get me wrong I'm happy that I am but it just feels weird. To be fair this is the first time in my life that I am stable so that's probably why
