Mentally Ill - Blog Posts
Hey everyone! We’re doing a project about mental illness terminology being misused online.
The terms we will be discussing are
1. Psychopath and sociopath
2. Narcissist
3. Intrusive thoughts
4. Delusions/“delulu.”
If you see any posts misusing these words, feel free to send them to us.
Also, mutuals, if you have/experience any of these, and you’d like your words/experiences to be used in our project, DM us. We personally don’t have all four of these, so anything y’all want to talk about involving them will be appreciated. It’s not going online, just being presented in a format similar to a Ted Talk to some people at our school.
Thanks everyone.
Edit: Definitely should have mentioned this earlier, but the project is done. It went pretty well. Thank you to everyone who told me about their experiences. We really appreciate it.
If you have a mental illness of any kind, weather it is depressing, ADHD and the like, deal with it! Go to therapy, take your medicine, do or even make support groups, learn healthy coping mechanism, learn what helps you and do it, even get a friend or anyone to nag you to get things done. NEVER EVER just except it, learn to conquer it and be IT'S master rather than letting it master you.
The year be like october to february being like 'damn you seasonal depression' and may to september like 'damn you summertime sadness'.
dont you just hate seasonal depression
I spent so long being told/believing that I had to have a rational reaction to everything despite the fact that I am in fact a walking talking well of emotions
Just spent almost one and a half hours analyzing skylines and turnstiles and commenting on every single line and how I interpret it
"you can't always stay the same. trauma and happiness will change you, for better or for worse. stop clinging to what used to be, and accept the future with glee."

I don't want to write about how i feel
bc I feel like shit
& im so fucking sick of it
it's like every day it's the same damn tricks
she's manic again it never quits
the grey mush is spreading nice
all around the brain twice
maybe if they feed it, that will be suffice
pain oozing, it's been sliced
we're at this point, the point we hate
where now our mental state
is up for debate
as if our fate won't devastate
oh for god fucking sake
please let this feeling go away
I'm finished now I don't want to play
if it must, it can stay
to keep the monsters at bay
we can't afford for them to come out and pray
is it my density to be this mad
is this hell or wonderland
why is everything so brightly colored
why is every noise muffled
I look in the mirror, oh no who's this
it looks like someone different
someone familiar but not quite right
you're hiding out in plain sight
that's you that's you that's you, you scream
the mirrored image is baffling
that's not me
oh wait, I see
my reflection, how could this be
change something immediately
work tediously
so they don't see
how you're bursting out through every seam
hurry now, they're so mean
they'll never understand defeat
sinking you within concrete
do whatever you can to avoid the carnival
it doesn't matter how loud you shout
once you're in you'll never get out
it feels like in a cartoon
you know, how they slam a character from one side to another repeatly for *comedy*
it's like that but slow mo sometimes
the space in between
Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the nature and appreciation of art, beauty and good taste.
you hurt me so much.
yet i still love you forever.
anyone else too mentally ill for love?
I am chaos,
I am cursed,
I bring destruction to the table,
I ruin everything,
Everything that I have ever touched,
Everything that I have ever felt,
Everything...that I have ever loved.
emotional dysregulation is so weird because i've been near crisis point depressed all week but now i'm back to being a hyperactive diva just because i put on a new playlist
I came wounded
To the shore.
Sure, it was foolish,
To hope,
To be soothed,
To be cradled,
To know less aches;
Lighter on the waves.
But I was too wounded,
Abrasions and bruises.
Surprise! I dived! I cried!
It burns, even the ocean.
The word 'prodigy' never found its way near my name. Yet, all I hear from peers who used to be proud, now concerned, is ' you know too much.' And I ask, and I cry.
Did I fly too close to the sun again, Father? Am I falling?

I forget most in madness, sickness of my heart washes over these delicate memories I hold till they aren't. But something tells me, I will remember you, not as a warning, never that, more like warmth. I will know you as my gentle sun, less harsh than the real one.

I weep in rememberance of the ache that once existed. Not before. I wait for it to die, then I cry for the sapling that grows on its burial floor. This doesn't save me from pain, it just spares no mercy. So I lament for what is and once was.

I want to be like the tides, gentle and roaring. I would try to kiss the moon in one blink and come crashing down in another. But I am not that free. I am this little plant that seeps and stays. My smile depends upon the skies. Even if I hate to admit it, the winter solstice makes me long for warm lights.
