Depression is sleeping through the day in a dark room. Depression is ignoring calls & text from family & friends. depression is feeling lonely, but not wanting company. depression is a disease. It’s called the silent killer for a reason. If you’re still here today, I love you.
I hate when people dismiss children's mental health issues as being trivial. Some children have already been through significant trauma, abuse, grief and have overcome obstacles that some adults don't face until middle age. It shows a deep misunderstanding of life.
Your mental health is more important than your career, money, other people's opinions, that event you said you would attend, your partners mood and your families wishes, combined.
If taking care of yourself means letting someone down, then let someone down.
I have zero tolerance for toxic family members. I feel like we are taught to always put up with ill behavior because we a bonded by blood…….. Umm NO. Absolutely no.
Having anxiety & depression is like being scared and tired of the same time. It's the fear of failure, but no urge to be productive. It's wanting friends but hate socializing. It's wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It feels everything at once so it's like you numb
When your mental health is bad, give yourself a break. don't make yourself feel guilty for things you can't do. don't feel bad about eating bad, about not doing as much as you normally would. you're human. it's okay to struggle. look after yourself, and your mind. It's important.
having toxic parents or a toxic family is way more challenging than those with relatively functional families can even begin to imagine. Nothing is ever a simple conversation, & almost everything is riddled with passive aggression, subliminals, & trauma.
Depression isn't glamorous or a fucking aesthetic. Depression is ugly, it's raw, it's overwhelming. It'll leave you in bed for days at a time with no motivation to even take a shower. it'll make you push away everyone who tries to help. It'll make you insecure. It's horrifying.
lets get OUT of the habit of telling people “Well that’s still your mom. That’s still your dad. That’s still your brother. Thats still your sister.” TOXIC IS TOXIC. Whether it’s family or NOT. YOU are allowed to walk away from people who CONSTANTLY hurt you. You are allowed to.
The older you get, the more you start to see your parents as PEOPLE and not your PARENTS and the mommy/daddy goggles fall off. You no longer feel like they can do no wrong, you start noticing their abusive/toxic traits. The realization can be so overwhelming.
Cheating on someone is the most disgusting, hurtful, and disrespectful thing you could ever do to someone you say you love.. If you're really that unhappy just leave, because that shit is like ripping someone's soul apart, that kind of pain eats at someone's core for a long time.
"ur trauma made u stronger" no.
my trauma made me traumatized, it made me weak, it gave me memory loss, it gave me feelings i've never wanted. i made myself stronger.
A lot of parents want to see their own kids endure the suffering that they experienced during their childhood because it’s what they believe is normal treatment. They believe the mistreatment they experienced as a child is what every child should experience because their parents
mental illness is invisible.
You can sound confident & have anxiety. You can turn up to work or school everyday appear “FINE” & have suicidal thoughts. You can look happy & be miserable inside. You can look so good & still feel ugly. You can smile or make jokes & have depression
Having a toxic mom is literally so hard like that person should be your comfort and your safe place but instead they make you feel like you're walking on eggshells and jump down your throat about everything. You wanna come to them for help but you don't ever bother after a while.
