Support can make a huge difference when someone is hitting a rough patch. Why wait until then to let your friends know you'll be there? Take a stand for Mental Health Awareness and tag someone you care about to let them know you have their back. ‪

you wanna hurt me? it's okay, it doesn't matter. you wanna use me? it's okay, i feel useful when I'm being used, do it anyway. you can do anything to me, even bad things, as long as you stay here and not leaving me. i can take the pain of you hurting me, but not leaving me. so, do anything you want and stay.

At times we wait for things to become true or feel real from the outside, but we forget we are the ones deciding what is true or not in our reality. It's always everything up to us and no one else.
Try to not fall into the trap of letting only hurtful stuff to be and feel true for you, try to make also good stuff to be your true reality. Let them in: even if at first they may still not be true, do not give up and try again. The more you really believe in this chance (from the inside), the truer they'll feel and be.

Hello again, Tumblr.

And here is one for SH survivors
Tumblr media
Just like many of you here, I am victim and survivor of self abuse. I am sorry for us. I know how you feel, guys. I feel the same way for a very long time now. But now i am on my way to fight this. It's hard, really hard. The dark urge that you need to harm yourself. But we have to stop. I just wanted to say that you are not alone in this. These is always someone for you. Find something, one thing, that will help you fight this and it’ll be much better. My way to fight the urge is doodling. So here are my dinosaur doodles. <3

Ever feel you annoy everyone you talk to? Like you’re just stood there and the person looks so annoyed so you’re feeling you should shut up…like you’re that unlovable even just breathing annoys everyone?
Yeah that’s me :)

[cw self loathing, self-abuse, mention of suicidal ideation (nothing too descriptive), dissociation, mention of car accident — this does have a happy ending though, and all these warnings can be avoided by skipping the first three paragraphs. though a few are mentioned again in the last few paragraphs as well]
there's a part of myself that i resent. for years i've considered it like a controlling abusive monster in my head, one that i created. it's more or less an artificial intelligence that i put in control of my mind and body when i decided that i didn't want to live anymore. i didn't think suicide was a real option because i didn't want to hurt or disappoint my family and friends. so i just "quit" life. i, quite metaphorically, "logged out" of my own brain and put Something Else in charge.
the point of this thing that i created was that no one could even tell it wasn't me anymore. to prove to myself that if i behaved satisfactorily, no one would miss me. i would become someone else, replaced entirely. i named this thing [birthname], because that was its job— to be what i never could, to be the perfect actor and mask, to pretend to be what everyone wished they had in my place.
i lived like this for a little over a decade, experiencing increasing amounts of derealization and depersonalization until I was eventually driven to seek therapy after getting into a car accident and nearly severely injuring my best friend.
i've been in therapy for nearly two years now (with a several month break admittedly, due to factors outside of my control). in the first few months, i started feeling safer to be myself.
it all culminated when i asked my therapist to give me a reason why i should let my feelings do as they please when my mind knows so much better than them. she replied "well, why not?" in such a way that i remembered all at once that feelings are so important to leading a life worth living—in essence...i felt as if i had been asked why i shouldn't live, and i had no answer. i had, somewhere along the way, lost my reasons to abandon my life, and with that discovery, i flourished.
i discovered that i had a gender after all. i started using my preferred pronouns. i even found a name that suits me perfectly. the creature i named [birthname] slowly receded to the back of my mind, and i started learning how to be myself again for the first time in over 10 years. over the following year until present, i discovered i'm actually multigender+ xenogender, and i felt romantic attraction for the first time (though, i don't really intend to ever act on it). i also moved in with my queerplatonic partner who i love dearly.
recently, though, along with a major life change, [birthname] came back. something about adult expectations of me seems to be triggering in that regard. i was very scared at first because i didn't want to lose everything i'd found about myself, but i was surprised to discover that i was still here. i spoke with my partner and mother about it, and today i spoke with my therapist about it.
i guess i'm writing this mostly because i've spent a huge portion of my life hating the mask i've called [birthname]. and when i told my therapist about deciding to create [birthname] as more or less a persona to take over for me at one of my lowest points, she expressed joy and relief. i was so confused, because i felt like this was the source of so many problems. letting go of that mask was one of the best things that happened to me so i felt frustrated that i even created that persona in the first place.
but she said to me, "you survived." and it all clicked together. i wasn't ready to exist back then. and i still saved my own life. i created [birthname] when i was in a difficult place, in order to get through a time hard enough that the other option i was considering was death. the thing i chose wasn't "years of dissociation and misery."
what i chose was life.
and now that i have survived, i think, i can finally let [birthname] go. i want to put that old crutch of a personality, and that name, to rest.
i think, after all these years, i'm finally ready to call it my deadname. not dead as in disrespectful. but dead as in gone, passed away. served its purpose and released into the night sky. i like to think that like any other dead thing, my deadname served its purpose in life, and i want to give it respect even in death.
so, thank you, [deadname], for all you've done. and i hope we can both be free and at peace from here on out.
