Said by a friend of mine after I was trying to explain why I was so late to work today. I physically couldn’t get out of bed for an hour. When I finally put my feet on the floor I chanted yes yes yes yes YES!!! Because I was so happy to be out of bed. I don’t know how to explain that I’m not just tired. I tried to “make myself do it” for an hour. It’s a tiredness that goes down to my bones even if I DO get a full nights sleep. I wish I could “just make myself do it” but how do I explain to a healthy person that just because I “seem” fine doesn’t mean our bodies are the same.

My mom doesn't realize my depression is severe and made worse with my living situation. What she thinks will help.

I spoke with someone who I honestly respect a lot because they're a good person at heart and mean well. I stonewalled for an IOP assessment by refusing to answer questions I didn't like. Which was basically all of them. It got to the point where they talked about drug history. I told them I didn't really remember but I have no preference for drugs I'm not an addict. This was the last straw they kicked me out.

So this was a different person who did the assessment their boss basically spoke with me about it. He got me to open up a bit about my mind state and what I'm going through every day. He even talked me through to a point where he realized that I'm super unhappy all the time and don't want to answer questions. I just fake a smile most days for people. I'm rambling but long story short he explained how I need to see a doctor and such to take care of my mental health, I gotta do that if I want to have a good future.

He means well but doesn't get that I don't want any future at all. I want to be dead within the next ten years. I'm honestly just saving up enough money to get myself a place where if I slip off into a fentanyl overdose nobody even notices it until it's far to late to narcan me.

Drugs make me feel better but after doing time in prison and realizing how easy it is to get sent there and do serious time potentially life. I would much rather just be by myself and get high alone. Until the day that I don't wake up from the high and it's over.

I don't know about any of you, but I think this would be rather counter productive..

I genuinely believe that most people who say this are racist themselves, but don't want people talking about it so racism can become more normalized again and they can be as racist as they want.

Found on yt.
If the answer to teen anorexia was “just don’t do it”, then I would have never gotten ill

"Someone else with a disability achieved this? Well surely everyone with that disability can!"

At some point you have to wonder if they think we're made in a lab.

For the record, I don't have any of these conditions and I literally said in another comment that I plan to work out when I get my own stuff under control, but yknow. It's hard for people like that to imagine disabilities... gasp varying... so I understand his confusion. After all, he did reply this after I made the grievious error of politely correcting someone on how disabilities affect exercise.

For context I been dealing with dry mouth, eyes, and nose for months and even tried the suggestions already and not due to medication. It still persist which is why I messaged my gp...

Update: responded with asking to test finally. Might have Sjogren's disease.

the 😂 at the end gives me a visceral reaction

for context, op has bipolar disorder and migraines and this was the response…. this is such dangerous rhetoric to push around serious mental disorders. i really hate the “just diet and exercise and you’ll be fine!!” mentality cause it doesn’t actually get to the root of it most of the time especially when your brain is genetically predisposed to mental illness.

yea that'll fix todays fatigue

Saw this in r/nihilism

Like, yes there are many ways to calm anxiety, but wtf man?

If you guys want more context, I was talking with a friend about how good people suffer while bad people get away with everything. And then all of a sudden, he starts blaming it on social media as the root cause of all suffering, which I pushed back against. Then he decided to completely change topics and said ”people purposefully focus on bad things happening” which had nothing to do with the conversation at hand. I don’t know if he can’t handle the truth, or if he just doesn’t know better, but it was still unhelpful regardless. It’s almost as if we chose to suffer in the first place and that it’s all up of us to deal with it.
