hey so 21-92% of autistic people who menstruate also have pmdd, and I think more people need to know of that (coming from an autistic transguy who also has pmdd, and had no idea of this until their then undiagnosed pmdd drove them to a breaking point)

Rise Splinter Headcanons

1. A big reason why Splinter is dedicated to being a good father is because his father left his mother and him when he was younger. He doesn’t want his sons to ever feel abandoned and unloved like he did.

It would also be a reason why Splinter took the Turtles in immediately after meeting them.

2. A reason why Splinter lost his athletic build was because he went through a depressive state. He lost of his motivation and missed his past life. If the turtles didn’t stay with him, things would have turned for the worse.

Thoughts? 😊❤️

“mental health matters until i negatively affect others”

“mental health matters until i cant take accountability”

“mental health matters until i am a genuinely bad person”

“mental health matters until i violate someone’s boundaries”

“mental health matters until the abused becomes the abuser”

why do you expect us to sympathize someone who is toxic..abuse is still abuse, even if done by a mentally ill person.

i’m legit going to cry, does anyone know how to read Menhera Chan manga?(i believe it is called something along the lines of “wrist cut warrior”). i read chapter 1 online once and i’m pretty sure the creator is really controversial which is why it’s so hard to find, but does anyone know how to read it? thank you

PSA: BPD

BPD:

Is not multiple personality disorder

does involve extreme reactions to abandonment whether real or perceived

does involve unstable and intense interpersonal relationships

does involve impulsivity

does involve recurrent suicidal tendencies or self harm

does involve affective instability due to a highly reactive mood (i.e. periods of intense anxiety for example will last for a couple of hours and rarely more than a couple of days)

does involve chronic feelings of emptiness

does involve intense feelings of anger/difficulty controlling anger

does involve stress related paranoid thoughts or severe dissociative symptoms such as feeling cut off from oneself. 

You also only need to display 5 of these symptoms. Thus people can have bpd without the unstable relationships that is stereotypical of bpd. I know they are common symptoms but they aren’t aren’t the only ones. Also please learn the difference between multiple personality disorder (dissociative identity disorder) and bpd. Just because I dissociate sometimes doesn’t mean that I have DID. Learn the difference and stop saying the only way to be bpd is to have unstable and intense relationships. 

Some little sketches of Anxiety from Inside Out 2 because she’s a goofy and adorable little bean who weirdly helps my anxiety? For one of these drawings I drew her surrounded by things that help my own anxiety.

"Your hat might fall sometimes but keep your head high and keep going" 💗🫶

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

Almost Mental Health Awareness Month

Apparently it’s almost Mental Health Awareness month. Does that mean that there’s a mental health acceptance month? Or is the awareness month also including acceptance? I don’t know. I didn’t even know there was a mental health awareness month.

Either way, seems nice. I think. I hope everyone has a nice day.

as someone who tried and almost succeeded in overdosing at 15,

DONT FUCKING DO THIS. YOU'LL KILL THEM FASTER.

LISTEN UP AGAIN KIDS STOP REBLOGGING THIS FUCKING GARBAGE POST. IT IS 100% FUCKING BULLSHIT AND CAN AND MOST DEFINITELY WILL LITERALLY KILL. DO YOU NOT SEE WARNING LABELS THAT SAY “DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING”? THEY AREN’T FUCKING AROUND. YOU CAN FUCKING BURN THEIR ESOPHAGUS BY CAUSING VOMITING, CAUSE CHOKING, DROWNING, OR MAKE IT WORSE! AGAIN DO NOT FORCE ANYTHING DOWN ANYONE’S THROAT. THEY. CAN. DROWN. IF SOMEONE IS LOSING CONCIOUSNESS ALL THE CHIT CHAT IN THE WORLD WILL NOT PREVENT IT AT THAT POINT THEY ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER. “Buuut i don’t wanna take them to the hospital!!!” WELL SUNSHINE GLAD YOU’D RATHER HAVE A DEAD FRIEND THAN A LIVING ONE BUT YOU’RE IN LUCK CALL FUCKING POISON CONTROL. THEY ARE NOT THE COPS. THEY WILL HELP YOU. AND IF THEY SAY GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL YOU GO TO THE FUCKING HOSPITAL. NO EXCUSES. 0. NONE.

when your mom gives you an oil that helped with her scars

you just can't help but wonder if you had known it all before

would you do it again?

PSA anger is a symptom of anxiety that I feel like isn't talked about enough, angry anxiety leads to one of the worst experiences known to man, angry crying. It feels humiliating, I'm supposed to be a functional adult but I still cry when I get angry, what if people think I'm trying to manipulate them during an argument? What if they think I'm having a tantrum like a toddler? What if they think I'm just a cry baby? Why can't I simply get over stuff? I know that these symptoms are normal but I don't feel normal.

Please, spread this for those who might need it right now

People are not defined by their addictions.

Someone who is an alcoholic isn’t just an alcoholic. Someone who’s hooked on opioids isn’t necessarily a bad person. Someone who can’t help but shoot up on heroin isn’t necessarily crazy. SOMEONE WHO IS ADDICTED TO DRUGS ISN’T A BAD PERSON JUST BECAUSE THEY DO DRUGS. And even if they are a bad person? They should still be entitled to get help. If the cops arrest someone for possession of drugs, that person shouldn’t just be charged for the crime. They should be given legitimate help to stop the addiction. And because this isn’t done, at least where I live in the US, my Papa (mom’s stepdad) is now dead. Today’s his birthday, and two days ago, he committed suicide. He was an alcoholic, who was arrested multiple times, and one of those times was for possession of drugs. I don’t know what kind. All I know is, very little was done to help him, if anything at all was done. Just because someone has an addiction does not make them a bad person. I can say this with confidence because, when I was little, my Papa was one of the funniest people in my life. He made me and my cousins giggle a lot, by telling jokes and making funny faces and tickling us silly. I don’t have many memories of him beyond that, because once he and my Nana (mom’s mom) got divorced a few years back, we only saw him twice. We tried to schedule time to spend with him, but a lot of the times, he would cancel last minute. He would stop reaching out to people as much. He had to give away his cat and move out from the house he and my Nana had lived in. He moved into an apartment. Multiple times, my aunts who lived nearby called for police welfare checks on him.

Two days ago, on March 20th, my Papa was found dead. I don’t feel comfortable sharing how he did it, but he did leave a suicide note- a note that none of my family had access to for about 24 hours or so after we found out what had happened. Chances were that he was intoxicated, due to the location he was found, though we haven’t gotten back the toxicology report yet to confirm this. The day before, one of my aunts had called the police to do a welfare check on him, as he wasn’t answering his phone. Five minutes later, the officer she’d gotten in contact with responded- a time short enough for us to believe that the officer(s) involved in the welfare check were negligent. My personal opinion, though biased, is that since he had been arrested before (not for any sort of major charges to my knowledge), the police were starting to be tired of him, and think of him almost as a nuisance. Like I said, however, this is just my opinion.

People with addictions need to be treated as what they are- people. Good or bad or anything in between, everyone deserves to get treatment for an addiction, and to have their health taken care of. Otherwise, the consequences can hurt not just the person themselves, and not just the people who love them, but our entire society as a whole.

Rest in peace, Papa, and happy birthday. I love you, and I hope you knew that. 🤍

Hii there!! I was wondering I’m hoping this is related to ur page, but since u did a hc of Toby with hyper sexuality, is it totally alright if I ask what it means? I’ve heard it a lot but I’m not exactly sure what the meaning is and signs you have or smth, i hope I’m not bothering u!! Have a great day!!<3

HIHI!! Hypersexuality, also known as hypersexual disorder, or sex addiction, is an obsessive fixation on sex, sexual acts/behaviours, and sexual fantasies. It can be a response to trauma !

(a few) Signs you have it include:

☆ You have repeated and intense sexual fantasies, behaviours, and urges that take up a lot of your time, and feel as though they're beyond your control.

☆ Hypersexual behavior may involve excessive masturbation, having multiple sexual partners, excessively watching/reading pornography, or paying for sex.

☆ You have difficulty establishing and maintaining a relationship with other people, especially romantic partners.

☆ You use compulsive sexual behavior as an escape from other problems, such as loneliness, depression, anxiety or stress.

☆ You feel driven or have frequent urges to do certain sexual behaviours and feel a release of the tension afterward, but also feel shame, deep guilt, and regret as well.

☆ Continuing to engage in sexual behaviors and activities even after they’ve caused harm.

☆ You've tried without success to reduce or control your sexual fantasies, urges or behavior.

☆ Hypersexuality can begin as excessive masturbating while watching pornography, or generally wanting and needing sex, eventually developing into a constant need.

☆ Some have reported having suicidal ideation.

Important!!: Hypersexuality looks different in everyone who has the condition. While one person may mainly struggle with controlling their sexual fantasies, another might struggle with controlling the urge to carry out certain sexual acts like masturbation.
