Please read this post before sending me an ask

I am not comfortable being used as a stand-in for professional help:

  • Don't ask me whether you qualify for a certain diagnosis.
  • Don't ask me how to cope with or recover from a certain symptom/disorder.
  • Don't ask me how to cope with, escape or recover from an abusive or otherwise traumatic situation.
  • Don't ask me to talk you out of self harm, suicide or other self destructive behaviors.
  • Don't ask me to write in depth educational resources. (You can ask me questions about my own experiences, but don't expect me to spend an hour explaining all the various symptoms of schizophrenia just because I have it.)

I am not comfortable being used as a resource on questions specifically related to subjects I don't have personal experience with. You can vent to me, but don't expect me to be able to provide answers related to:

  • Being physically disabled.
  • Being a person of color.
  • Being transgender.
  • Being gay.
  • Being aromantic and/or asexual.
  • Being fat.
  • Having abusive parents.
  • Being abused as a child.
  • Being poor.
  • Studying or working.
  • Any mental health condition I'm not diagnosed with myself.

I am not comfortable with my blog being used for promotion by people I don't know:

  • Don't use the anon function to talk shit about people on tumblr you don't like. I usually don't know you or the person in question, so I can't know whether you're telling the truth.
  • Don't ask me to reblog your donation post.

That being said, most of the time I will happily:

  • Answer personal questions.
  • Offer emotional support, encouragement and validation to people who need a place to vent or share.
  • Share my personal opinion on something you want an opinion on.

Thanks for reading! If you cross the boundaries I've listed here, I will probably ignore you. If you do it repeatedly, I will block you.

eventually, once you come into healthy relationships after experiencing intense & toxic ones, you might find that you’re actually scared of healthy love. you might even find yourself “bored” or “confused” by a relationship that is so calm and safe that you keep looking for signs that something is deeply wrong when there really isn’t. you may have internalized that the default mode for relationships is “painful” when in reality, it’s not. take your time processing these feelings, your experiences and explore them in gentle curiosity - not in guilt and shame over struggling to accept the good relationships in your life.

“In Irish when you talk about emotion, you don’t say, ‘I am sad’. You’d say, ‘sadness is on me’ ‘tá bron orm’.

And I love that because there’s an implication of not identifying yourself with the emotion fully. I am not sad, it’s just that sadness is on me for a while.

Something else will be on me another time, and that’s a good thing to recognise.”
