I'd care if the person I reblogged this from committed suicide.

Reblog this from anybody. literally. ANYBODY. even if you dont like them or even know them that well. YOU COULD SAVE THEIR LIFE.

to lovely humans who were excluded from invitations, left behind when they tied their shoes, forced to walk in the grass when the sidewalk was full, spoken over when you tried to contribute, whispered about or laughed at, given the side eye when you tried to fit in... you are so worthy of love and I’m sorry people have convinced you otherwise. I promise that your people are out there - people who will see the side of you others ignore, people who share weird inside jokes with you, give you affectionate nicknames and go to museums or roadtrips with you and fulfil whatever idea of friendship you’ve always fantasized about. even if you feel like an empty shell of your former self because you’ve hidden yourself away due to shame, this exterior will melt when you accept yourself or let people in and you’ll realize there was nothing wrong with you all along. you have interesting things to say, you deserve new chances and beginnings, your heart is probably made of gold because you know what it’s like to be left out in the cold, and you have so much to give. you are so worthy and someone’s idea of a friend too, and I hope you receive lots of hugs in the future from yourself and others because you’re so lovable.

Trans Lifeline US 1-877-565-8860 CAN 1-877-330-6366 From the Trans Lifeline website: “Trans Lifeline was founded in 2014 as a peer-support crisis hotline. The Hotline was, and still is, the only service in the country in which all operators are transgender. Because of the particularly vulnerable relationship transgender people have with police, it is also the only service in the country with a policy against non-consensual active rescue.”

soft reminders:

Hey if you’re schizophrenic/psychotic I just want you to know that you’re a wonderful person and that you deserve so much better than the demonization, marginalization and stigmatization you face in this society.

Please consider reblogging this/other positivity posts for schizophrenic/psychotic people every once in a while. If you have more than 100 followers, odds are that a couple of them experiences psychosis and that they rarely see positivity posts for people with their symptoms.

attached are also numbers for worldwide suicide hotlines. please reach out for help if you’re feeling hopeless.

Talking about abuse and trauma isn’t just “whining”. Talking about it, uncovering it and outing abusers should contribute to stopping and ending abuse. Every time you say out loud what abusers have done to you, not only there will be people who will relate and gain courage to out their abusers too, but more and more people will become aware of how common and destructive abuse is, and I believe those who have been affected the most will join and fight it. I want everyone to talk about abuse, whenever they can be heard, so everyone knows just what it is, how many people are affected, how destructive the consequences are, how cruel and monstrous the abusers are, and what to do to stop them. Talking about abuse, in long term, will end abuse. 

The man who was my father emotionally abused me every day of my life until I moved out of his house. He physically abused me frequently, shaking me, poking me, he even choked me. My mother enabled and protected him, and would make *me* apologize to *him* when he had hurt me. I kept it secret until I was 47, because I was embarrassed and ashamed. I *fully* believed that I deserved it, and I spent my ENTIRE life trying to solve the puzzle that would unlock the kind, compassionate, loving father I wanted. But I was also protecting him, without realizing it, because that is what I learned from my mother. I protected the man who bullied, humiliated, and hurt me, until I was 47 years-old and confronted them both. He didn’t care, she gaslighted me. I don’t know what else I should have expected. I’m both sad and grateful that they showed me who they were, then, because it confirmed my fear and suspicion that they were *exactly* who I knew they were, even though I’d spent my life trying not to accept that painful reality. I speak up about being an abuse survivor now because there is SO MUCH shame and fear just boiling around in people like me, because we were trained (I do not believed ‘brainwashed’ is too far) by our abusers and their enablers to feel that way. I. Am. Not. Ashamed. I am pissed off, and I will stand up not just for myself, but for every child or adult child who has endured *any* kind of abuse. I see you. I love you. I’m so sorry that I know what you’re going through, and I hope hearing my story of survival and recovery can inspire anyone reading this, who is still as scared and ashamed as I was, just 18 months ago.

It’s okay to be a beginner at the things you are interested in. There is no reason to feel intimidated by people more advanced than you are, because they too were in your place at one point. Keep learning and growing and expanding in whatever it is that you love and let nothing and no one stop you. You don’t have to be at the same stage as someone else. You can just be at your stage and that one is okay too.
