cutting makes ppl uncomfortable cos its the externalisation of mental illness. usually its invisible & therefore can be ignored or played down but once theres scars& shit its out there, undeniable. "its just a cry for help" yeah… exactly

“Emotional abuse works like this: You are screamed at, and then, not knowing any better, you stand up for yourself. You think this is a way of being strong. You think this is a defense tactic.But this only provokes more screaming. Going silent provokes more screaming too, but usually it keeps the threats to the minimum. It keeps it just at screaming and not: a shove down the stairs, or order to pack your stuff and get out. So you learn how to go silent. How to play dead. How to cry without making a noise. How to swallow noise. How to wipe your cheeks, get out of the car, and go about your day. You learn. And when the screaming has stopped, when the two of you are in the car or out to dinner and they’re all smiles, all asking for favors, all questions, you are still hurt and annoyed and want to ask them, how? How can you speak to me like that? How can you pretend you did not say those things? How can you have forgotten? But you’ve learned. So you listen to, “Can I borrow your key”s and “how was your day”s and you play dead. You swallow the noise. And sometimes it doesn’t matter who is speaking to you, it doesn’t matter if they’re a friend, it doesn’t matter if their criticism is constructive, it doesn’t matter. You’ve learned. Any sort of speaking, any raising of the voice, any insult and you play dead.”

Hello ♡ this isn’t related to my usual content, but I just wanted to say something/

I keep seeing posts from teens going through tough times on my feed, and I want you to know that life does get better. I’m saying this as someone who spent their teenage years stuck in bed, depressed from a lot of traumatic stuff. I know right now things might feel hopeless, but I promise the universe — or whatever higher power you believe in — will give you so many chances. Things can get better. Like Lana Del Rey said, "Fairytales always have a happy ending, and if you’re not happy, then it’s not the ending."

Sending lots of love to everyone from the bottom of my heart
