i used to think i was unstoppable
but now i realize it takes so little to slow me down, and so much to bring me back up
“Mental illness is all in your head”
Really?
Then why..
- Do I have panic attacks where my heart races so fast it feels like it’s going to explode
- Ive lost so much weight from not eating
- When my depressions bad I feel heavy and like everything is in slow mo
- I get headaches from being so stressed
- My whole body shakes when I’m so anxious
- Sometimes I’m so out of it I can’t even form words
- I’m exhausted All! The! Time!
- I feel so sick for no reason at all but the amount Of stress from being so mentally ill has taken a toll
- My immune system is crap and I get colds more
- I can’t sleep from overthinking
- Don’t even get me started on the stomach issues
Yes it’s mental illness and you can’t see it but there are so many PHYSICAL symptoms that come along with every mental disorder
nobody likes you when you’re 23 🧞♂️
i’d like to take a moment for people who struggle with “scary” mental illnesses. psychosis, did, substance abuse, schizophrenia, aspd, paranoia, spd, etc. horror movies and bad jokes can portray such an ugly picture, but you are wonderful and so much more than what you deal with.
