Warning signs of depression (generally) in order of appearance

Oh no.

well shit

Also guilt, shame, and self-loathing! You find yourself unable to do the things you want or even the things you need to do and you feel like a terrible person, it’s real fun

I partially disagree only because this seems like it’s trying to put it in an order, when in reality all of it happens all of the time and the order in which it happens varies. And it’s okay if you don’t experience all of these, your depression still exists and deserves to be treated as just as real as those who have all of these symptoms.

Shout out to mentally ill people who dropped out of school

– shout out to the kids who were “so bright” and ‘heading somewhere” and had to drop out because school was too much to handle along with mental illness

– shout out to the kids who struggled to get where they got before they dropped out

– shout out to the kids who tried and tried and tried and still couldn’t finish

you aren’t unintelligent because you dropped out of school, you aren’t a delinquent or a bad person because you dropped out of school, just because you did what you had to doesn’t make you a bad person

“Why don’t you list your disabilities in your profile so people don’t assume you’re abled/neurotypical”

…because that’s my business and I don’t need to justify my existence for you to treat me civilly? Thanks?

Same goes for folks that expect us to detail our traumas or csa to “excuse” our being disliked in certain communities.

No thanks.

Not to add discourse on main, but seriously there’s also the fact that…you shouldn’t just “assume” someone is abled/neurotypical in the first place? Like I get that humans naturally categorize others and have preconceived bias, but if you’re automatically assuming everyone you see is able bodied or neurotypical then I think you’re part of the problem a little bit and you may need to check yourself.

How do you email your intructor and tell them–without sounding either like you’re faking it or like you’re begging for sympathy–for the 20th time this semester that you’re obviously not going to be in class tomorrow again because your brain drank dumb mentally ill bitch juice and you’re physically unable to maintain a normal sleep schedule?

I’m constantly torn between 

“it’s ok to accept being disabled. you don’t have to force yourself to be something you’re not. it’s ok to have limitations. you don’t have to spend your whole life denying and fighting against yourself.” 

and 

“if you don’t keep fighting and trying to overcome your disability, you’re weak and not worth anything.”
