Now Playing Tracks

I know people love my sister and care about her and I know it’s hard dealing with mental illness in someone you love but… I really wish people would think before they spoke.

Phrases like ‘you are not the only one going through are hard time’ and ‘you deal with it, I’ve been busy today’ are not super appropriate for someone one week out of hospital and that survived a big trip to the supermarket that day.

I understand it’s hard to see what people go through with a mental illness but, quite frankly, I don’t care. Suck your bullshit up and be helpful for a while. It will be clear to you when you don’t need to be so helpful. And keep calm. It is an imbalance of chemicals in the brain talking, not the person you love. 

I’m not saying I’m perfect because today I’m sick and exhausted and no I wasn’t super helpful when I should have tried to be, but shit, at least I didn’t make things worse or place blame for feeling like talking about potato chips is hard.

Sorry about ranting. This is not my fine social worker form for sure.

Please sign this petition and reblog it. 

I don’t think many people know about this but we are locking kids up in PRISONS next to a RIFLE RANGE simply for seeking ASYLUM.

This is wrong. Make a change. Sign your name
