The Thing That Drives Me Crazy About Fibromyalgia Is Trying To Explain It To People. Yes I Am In Pain

neurotypical psych majors’ vibes are so rancid 😷

I don't wanna take these meds

I didn’t ask for this >:(

I literally cannot overstate how important creative hobbies are when dealing with mental illness. If you can’t draw, there are coloring books. If you can’t write a novel, you can write in short journaling bursts. If you can’t sing in the shower, you can listen to music. Sometimes with mental illness it feels like we have this dark presence inside of us that is bumping around in our brain and organs, causing problems. It helps immensely to let it out.

have to switch meds AGAIN ugh I couldn't handle going to sleep at 10:30 on this latuda, I'm convinced this medication is actually a tranquilizer like y am I so tired

the goofiest thing about people who defend forced hospitalization is that they act like that’s the only option. they’ll look at you with a straight face and act like the only health care options in the world are to either imprisonment via police escort or let people just die in the street. what about outpatient care? having someone check in daily? support groups? online networks? actually making any attempt to relieve any of the immediate pressures that are causing the problem? doing inpatient psych but making it actually voluntary, which means you get to have your stuff, you get to talk to your friends and family, you check your own self out of you feel like it? like why don’t you try treating mentally ill people like noncriminals and see where the fuck that gets you, you know?

im just built different (unstable)

bipolar is truly the everything illness. right now i just have symptoms. idk of what specifically this time but they’re definitely happening

got diagnosed with fibromyalgia today
