i'm not the romanticized version of a mentally ill person. i don't stare out of windows while it rains. i don't get to just fall in love and suddenly its all gone. it's ugly. it's real fucking ugly.

The only thing truly stopping me was myself. However, while classified as mental disabilities, they hold biological problems, and not issues primarily within the confines of the psychological. It is not the psychological that stops me anymore. It's not myself that stops myself. It is the physiology of my physical body that stops me.
I gained incredible confidence once I stopped believing I was a bad person. I told myself, however, that just because I am confident, does not mean I do not have flaws. I can still be wrong. So knowing myself and my mistakes, and what I'm capable of, and my own limitations, will help me make better choices.
If I didn't have depression and adhd holding me back now, of which affects me via biology and physiology, then I'd probably be able to go to work and be a capable human being who isn't disabled from my mental disabilities. However, because it's so extreme, I'm stuck in a way I do not like. Like contained in this tiny living space that is my brain.
Yet, my inability to move sometimes has granted me a good perspective over the world and people. I've always been a people watcher because being autistic, I never totally understood people until I started examining them in a technical psychological way. While I have emotion, it's just not as reactive or same as allistic people. Even people sometimes who are neurodivergent, they can't always understand my meaning or purpose. So I always have to explain myself.
My goal had been to suppress these effects upon my body, to essentially remove those detrimental side-effects. Reality has a way of making you realise things, though. It's not that simple. I may never be able to stop or remove or even lessen my problems that affect me physically, but I'll still try to live my life and commit my time to doing and being better. Doing what I know I can do day by day, minute by minute, and accommodating for myself. Even if it means I die before I succeed, it's all I can do for myself, and it's the focus I need to live and make better choices.

Shopping For a New Therapist Be Like:
*Sees one I think I'd like and makes appointment*
*goes on to research the person online to make sure they're queer friendly*
*Finds out they graduated in 2021*
Me: is a seasoned mentally ill person with moderate to severe symptoms at most times
Also me: oh boy, I'm about to break this man. Good luck little buddy.

Hello I would like to stop dissociating now
Aaaaaaany time today would be great
Cuz like it is almost 430pm and I kind of wanted to wash the sheets and maybe have an easily-accessible opinion about something to put on the tv
But I haven't had a single feeling all day except an indescribably intense urge I'm going to label "SCROLLING MUST GO BRRRRRRRRR"
So, just, whenever you're ready

I feel like there are a lot of people out there who needs to hear this:
If you dropped out of school because of diagnosed (or undiagnosed) ADHD, Autism, ADD, OCD, Dyslexia, Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, psychotic disorders, schizophrenia etc… You did not fail. The education system failed you.
