Below, I want to be open about my mental health and the disorders I live with. Mental health is incredibly important to learn about and understand. It’s never an excuse for harmful behavior, but it is important to recognize that not every negative emotion, reaction, or word comes from intentional maliciousness.Some people, like myself, have had difficult or traumatic upbringings. Understanding what we struggle with helps explain why we might react or feel the way we do. Sometimes, what seems like a small phrase or movement to you might unexpectedly trigger a deep, painful memory for us. It’s not your fault, and it’s not ours either, we didn’t choose what happened to us, and we certainly didn’t choose to carry its lasting effects.What matters is that we’re trying our best to heal. I’ve personally been in therapy since 2018, working to understand and manage my mental health.
If you’re struggling too, please reach out for help if you can. On my Discord server, we offer a space for mental health support. We aren’t professionals, but we do our best to offer compassion, resources, and guidance — along with self-help links and a safe community.Please take care of yourself, and treat others with kindness and patience.
Important: This is not a space for self-diagnosis. If you experience similar feelings or symptoms, please talk to a qualified mental health professional. ღ
