Always afraid of being honest, because no one really wants to know. FINE works well enough for them.
"I cannot change the past, but my future is my chance to prove I can change."
"Sometimes our deepest wounds, are the ones we inflict on ourselves."
“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”
waking up in the morning and not remembering what it feels like to be happy.
having to hear people complain about the smallest, most petty things in their lives and say things like "I wish I were dead", having no idea what it feels like to really wish that you were dead.
That anticipation when you seem to be doing well but you know -- you can just feel -- that a bad episode is coming up, yet there is nothing that you can do about it.
It's like being on a roller coaster that you got on accidentally.
having to hear people complain about the smallest, most petty things in their lives and say things like "I wish I were dead", having no idea what it feels like to really wish that you were dead.
yup.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break
that its heart may stand in the sun,
so must you know pain.
There are only two ways in which one can live their life. One is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is.
Being judged by people because of what you told them
Not being able to talk to people because you are scared of being judged
Overusing the phrase "I'm fine" because there is noway you can explain how not fine you really are
Having to grow up before you've become an adult yet getting treated like an child
I agree with all those things. I can't talk to anyone because I'm scared of how they'll react if I tell them about my personal stuff and those whom I've told have judged me because of it.
I constantly put on a smiley face when I'm actually crying inside.
I grew up way faster than everyone else the same age as me because of the things I've been through and yet I was still treated like a child because of my age, which was ****ing annoying
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead
And professionals using your illness against you and making ridiculous comments.
"You take no responsibility because you're borderline"
"You dont have to say you're suicidal to get some attention"
"what have you got to be depressed about?"
Ugh.
The way something a therapist has said sticks in your head for years because, well, they're meant to be the ones that know how to fix you.
PM me if you want a PDF copy of the ICD-10or the Mental Health Act 1983/2007. I ALSO HAVE THE DSM-V BOOK and am a pharmacology student.
I have a visual impairment / neurological problems so I need people to type in clear text and no funny fonts. Also excuse any typos, my vision blocks things out.
I have autism and have problems communicating, PMs included.
Just becasue I type well doesn't mean I speak well. I am only part time verbal.
when you lose time and dont know where you have been and what you have been doing.
" my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never, never leave you during your times of trials and suffering. When you see only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you" you were carried out of are lifes into the next and when its my time to leave this life I know i will be carried into the next life with you.
I wish i had my world complete again.
'Can we protend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars, i could really use a wish right now' BoB

When you hurt yourself accidentally and no one believes you that it was accidental.
Omg! Yes. Totally agree with you there EraseTheHate.
The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
Scars.
Feeling like I'm going insane.
No-one taking you seriously.
Like my 'suicidal states' dont count because I feel that way alot.
Damn annoying 'I understand' tones of voice!
Being told someone understands when you know they dont.
When being told I dont feel bad enough for them to do anymore for me. When they make appointments and cancel!
The misunderstanding with friends and family.
Hate from people who are supposed to care.
The way my mum shouts at me for cryingagain.
