As a person who grew up at the foot of the mountains I will never ever ever understand plains and prarie dwellers that shit is insane. If you have no forests and caves then where do you hide from God
There’s a mistake I see a lot of people in the mental health community make and in all honesty, it’s one I’ve made myself. But I think we should really work on it. And that’s saying “if this were a physical illness, wouldn’t you care?”
I’ve learned that no actually, people wouldn’t care. Katelyn Weinstein (theADHDprincess on Twitter) is a neurodiversity acceptance activist who really put this in perspective for me. She said that it’s actually more an issue of longevity than physical vs mental health.
If you’re having a bad day people will generally be understanding. But when you’re experiencing chronic depression and you have many bad days people lose sympathy.
In the same respect people may be understanding when you’ve broken a bone that will heal properly or when you have a cold that will go away soon in ways they simply won’t understand when you have chronic pain or need to use a wheelchair. They may send chicken soup for a temporary situation, but when you need consistent accomodations it’s an entirely different story.
I understand that from our perspective it looks like people care more about physical health than mental health, but it’s good to remember that our own perspective is also limiting. Facing ableism doesn’t mean you can’t be ableist. And I know so many people are not ill-intentioned when they say this. I know I wasn’t. But we can’t discount the lived experiences of physically disabled people. If we want true equality we need to be united and we need to listen to those with physical disabilities and illnesses. And those with physical disabilities and illnesses (some of which are also invisible) have said that they are not given proper accomodations either.
So let’s be united and fight for equality and accomodations for everyone, no matter what their illness or disability may be.
time loop that’s set to end when you’ve completely fucked your life up in a blaze of hedonistic glory under the assumption that it’ll all just reset at the end of the day
time loop with an arbitrary end condition that’s supposed to only be achievable by learning a lesson and growing as a person, but you keep escaping after like four to seven loops without changing or improving anything but your ability to do weird shit that the wizard didn’t anticipate
After struggling in school all year you finally stood up to your bully and knocked him out with a punch in front of everyone. He promptly disapperead, turning into a pile of quarters.
