Having a healthy relationship with my partner has taught me that you’re not supposed to be yelled at if you cry. In fact, it’s normal to be comforted when you cry.

Perma-Begging Bowl

Because let's face it, I have to do this monthly. As always, living on SSDI, I do not get enough to get me and my son throughout the month and rely on help from friends and family. Any amount, even five dollars, helps. If you can't, please pass the bowl. If you want proof of the food and medicine I'm getting msg me, I'll send screen shots and photos.

As always I have the pal of p_yment at paypal.me/Sephirajo

the app of c_sh m_ney at $Sephirajo

and ko-fi at:

I always end up needing an extra 300 to 400 a month, so please, pass the bowl and help a gal out.

going from "I want to die" to "I want to live, just not like this" has really helped me keep going at some of the darkest and shittiest times in my life.

And it's really hard, so fucking hard to figure how to change things when you are dealing with so much trauma. But slow steps, taking it one day at a time, listening to the body's needs, and reaching out for support all add up to make a massive difference, and things do slowly get better.

Stay with us. It will pass if you do. Promise.

reminder that you’re not behind. everyone has a completely different life. we are all taking it at our own pace. do what you can. and it’s okay if you can’t do anything right now. if it has been like this for sometime, try looking into what might be causing it for you. you’re going to be okay 🩷

for my fellow psychotics who struggle with thinking someone is in their house, a method I’ve found that really works are these guys:

i put them on my front door and anytime it opens they ring. that way if i think someone has broken in or i see someone who isn’t there i can think back to if the bells have rung, and if they haven’t i can assure myself it’s not real. obviously it’s not fool proof, like if you are prone to auditory hallucinations, but it has really helped me calm down in time to avoid major psychotic breaks. it’s a real lifesaver

You don't have to seek to eradicate "symptoms" that don't cause you distress just because they're "disordered." You're allowed to accept and embrace atypical experiences. Being "normal" doesn't have to be on your to-do list.

( tw for kinda sorta implied grooming? maybe? )

hi i'm not asking for advice or anything just an outsider's opinion on this. i had an online relationship when i was 11 with someone who was 14 until i was 13 and they were 16. i never really thought about it too much, but as someone who's now currently almost that age, it just kinda irks me. i'd never be with someone who was 11, but, admittedly, i'm not 100% they knew my age though it was a pretty high chance they did. but i also don't wanna blame them either because i think we were both pretty mentally unwell, and so i just don't really know how to feel about it. it's not like they did anything bad. they were a really nice person and stuff, but i do know deep down that being in that relationship distressed me a lot because of how young i was, and it kinda just sucks to think about that i was worrying about something like that from 11-13 and the fact that i was basically a preteen just doesn't really sit right with me anymore. i'm not sure if i'm just being anxious and stuff because grooming sounds like such an exaggeration to me but a part of me can also admit that it just wasn't normal and something that i don't think i'd be able to do no matter how desperate and unwell i was

hi, this took a little while for me to get back to because i wanted to give you an honest and well thought out answer.

well, it's true that having a relationship like that when you were quite literally a child can be distressing and not really the best decision one can make.

while i understand that the two of you were not doing well mentally, i want you to know that you were just very, very, very young people and that if you look back at that relationship now and regret it, then it's not something out of the norm. many people in your shoes would.

and that's alright. we all make mistakes. we all do things that we are later confused by, are not proud of, and wish we hadn't indulged in something like it ever.

i'm glad that the person you were with was nice to you, and if you think that they didn't know your age when all of it happened, well you could give them the benefit of the doubt if you want to.

but the bottom line will always remain that it is a thing that happened and now is in the past. i can understand how it can give rise to anxious feelings and distressing thoughts within you. but i want you to know that it doesn't have to affect your present and your future in an overpowering way.

if you'd like it, you can talk about it to a mental health professional or an adult that you trust with your feelings and whose opinion you respect. maybe that can help you come to terms with your feelings about this whole ordeal and get better adjusted to it.

i want you to know that you're not flawed or bad because you made a mistake when you were younger. or if this is a case of grooming, then it's not your fault that it happened to you. you were a child. you did not have the cognitive capacities to understand and process all of it back then like you do now.

please take care of yourself and i hope that you're able to find your peace regarding this soon <3
