I hate when my anxiety meds don't work, because then I'm anxious about the thing I was anxious about but also now I'm anxious about the idea that my meds might never work again.

These people are literally sick. They probably are showing off mostly to troll and appall people they hate, but they are enabling and promoting the worst of American #politics and #society. Their lifes must be so sad and pathetic, but they will never look for the real help they obviously need.

What it is like to have PMDD with PME? Also, my thoughts
This is my PMDD. PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), and PME (Pre Menstrual Exacerbation), are similar, yet different. PMDD is more than just your mental illnesses. There are more symptoms with PMDD then PME, yet they both are not good at all to have. I have both. There was a time, I thought I did not have PME. What makes PME similar to PMDD is that you can have similar symptoms, but instead of it just being PMDD, its similar symptoms in regard to and pertaining to your mental illness. […] -

Good news, everyone!
This week's edition of The Mutual Misfits Variety Hour, "Whole Lotta Fiber Goin' On", just dropped! Last week's* episode garnered dozen of views and notched such compliments as "I can't explain why but this is weirdly engaging" and what better compliment can an absolutely absurd trainwreck like this receive?
As you might expect from the title of the episode, I discuss the early progress of my attempt to increase my overall fiber intake. I also briefly mention BPD, before I began feeling myself completely extinguish the remaining energy I was utilizing to record this episode.
For those of you with narcolepsy who are looking for a relatively safe, drug-free alternative to a quick jaunt into a comatose state, give it a try! What could possibly go wrong?

The Tail of the Comet: A Poem About Emotions, Trauma, and the Weight We Carry
I’m pulled, tugged, ripped,
chained to feeling,
in its rawest form,
a perpetual gravity of emotion.
Instinct, sadness, happiness,
the perfect storm, never-ending.
I wish it would be silent,
an old, ivy-heavy graveyard at midnight.My therapist gave it many titles,
depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD.
Rage and love toward everyone and everything,
from empty streetlights to my beautiful sons.
It was failed lovers, friends,
family, jobs, and dreams.
The core of my being was
a black hole that refused to stand still.I had always known something
was living inside of me.
So when emotions did come ringing,
haunted bells on some walking watchtower,
with phantoms following in marmalade glows.
The whole of this demon land
would empty,
overwhelming me.She asks me to describe
how it feels knowing I’m like this.
I tell her I’m the pike
forever pulled by the hook,
or the dark matter tether of the endlessly hurtling meteor.
And that I feel,
and that I know,
the stillness of the nightwill always be a fiction.

I Can’t Change the Sunlight: A Poem About Depression, Memory, and Sunlight
First, the beams between dust,
highlighting particles dancing
in my parents’ basement.
Chocolate carpet above an eyebrow window
where we, old friends and lovers,
would swap dreams and desires
until you tearfully realized
I couldn’t do anything
but wrestle with my depression.Then, rays of it glittering and jeweled
during our honeymoon
in an emerald lagoon,
with tropic tips and bows of sand
being plucked by Key Largo waves.
That sediment could never be a castle.
It was too broken, fragmented, coarse,
and fragile to form any support.
Just like us.Next came morning light slanting
through the bay window over the couch,
a theater seat for our fights,
screaming, throwing, thrashing,
every detail of my unending sadness.
You, my son, are on my lap, asleep, an infant.
I’m crying, and the tears sting your forehead.
I wipe them away, my trauma baptism.
I have an endless supply.That stardust anchor,
falling through time and space,
cracking the earth’s atmosphere,
honing our existence, growing our cells,
is a cosmic stake piercing my heart.
It will not end me. I am always undead.
Worse, it reminds me honestly
that this daylight trigger
will always be thereas long as I am.

Devastation. Decimation. Depravation
Hi everyone, I hope you’re all well. I’m sharing another poem with you today, and I hope you enjoy it!
Devastation. Decimation. Depravation.
If I stop to catch my breath
Then the cloud gets in
Exhale, inhale
Devastation.Each moment of peaceful thought
Skips right to unrest
Skip skip skip skip
Decimation.When I lie awake for hours
A sea of thoughts churns
Waves crash, drowning
Depravation.Thank you, as always, for reading my words!
Until next time,
George

I tend to open pretty much anything with a cw for mental health, mental illness, or other specifically named issues (bipolar for example). Sometimes I just don't know what to say though, so i move on. Usually I want to at least hit the fave but also not sure if that would be taken in the right way. But know that at the least I have likely seen your post.
And if you add appropriate hashtags I'll also probably read that too because im usually stalking on my followed hashtag list.

Depression in the US
Depression is staggeringly common in the United States, with more than one in four adults reporting having been diagnosed with the condition in their lifetimes. In a given year, more than 8 percent of U.S. adults might report a major depressive episode. And there are more than 500,000 hospitalizations for a depressive disorder each year.
Symptoms of depression can include sadness or low mood, feelings of worthlessness or guilt, or a loss of interest in things someone used to enjoy. But they can also involve more physical symptoms, such as slowed movements and changes in appetite or sleep, and cognitive issues, like brain fog or difficulty making decisions.

I’m Happy Being Bipolar
I’m happy being bipolar
But I am not sure others are
I drive them crazy with my moods
And I don’t have to try that hard
If you get what I mean
Everyone is zany in their own way
All they need is a trigger
And I am happy to be their trigger
Life you know is more interesting
When the world is filled
With crazy blokes like me
Else what is there to life
Except boring work
And desperate pleasure.

I'm faced with a dilemma. We're coming up to the deadline for rent and we need as much income as we can.
However, I'm also struggling with my job. I don't think I'm autistic so I can't claim a legit meltdown, nevertheless retail sometimes crushes me emotionally. Typically, I need a day or two to recover after days like that.
This weekend, I put today's shift up for grabs because I was having a really rough time and knew I was starting to burnout. Evidently someone who picked it up has done so themselves, so I could technically take it back now.
Would I survive if I took it back? Yes. But my nerves are still so raw that if things go badly tonight, I might end up calling in sick tomorrow which would count against my attendance unlike today.
My partner said I need to do what is best for me, but that is difficult to discern over my inner voice shrieking "just grow up, everybody hates their job, you're just being a drama queen".
I fucking hate that voice.
My god I wish I was more proficient at dissociation.
Yay #MentalIllness.

CW: WE MADE IT!!!!! Thank you so much everyone!!!!! ♥️🙏♥️
UPDATE: We have catapulted to nearly halfway to our goal already! We sincerely appreciate everyone's help. Hopefully we can keep the momentum going. Thank you everyone!! ❤️❤️❤️
Folks, every time I write these I keep hoping it's the last time we'll ever need to engage in digital begging, yet here I am again like a broken record.
This month has been a bit of an emotional rollercoaster. Interestingly, I'm just realizing that the "ups" of said rollercoaster mostly coincide with having money to live (making rent, buying groceries, our nifty new scooters that I absolutely adore) and while I know correlation doesn't equal causation, it is certainly a lot of curious coincidences.
It is also worthy of note that every one of those save for maybe groceries were given to us through people's donations. Our friends here on Mastodon and the Fediverse are who keep the roof over our head and the lights on.
My partner and I are barely able to earn enough money to eat, and not much more. My weekly hours at my retail job haven't been completely sufficient but they at least seem to be holding steady.
On the other hand, I'm very, very proud of my partner for adapting to public transit (despite the its anxiety-provoking nature for him, on top of some sort of PTSD-triggering aspect that is so deeply ingrained that he can't really tell me about it) for getting to work due to our car being out of commission.
Said car will likely remain that way for the foreseeable future due to my not being as active about fundraising for it as I should have been; and now that it's the last week of the month, I need to set our focus on staying housed.
Anyway.. I've only got about two hours before I need to leave for my soul-crushing retail job, where I work myself so ragged I can barely function on my days off, yet I'm not even getting full-time hours and frankly I don't know if I physically *could* do full-time right now.
Ugh. I'm so exhausted. Fucking mental illness, my friends.. it poisons everything. I literally can't afford it.
Long story short: We need help. Yet again.
If you're willing AND able, please boost and if possible donate. If you can't donate, *do NOT feel guilty* for being in the same boat as us. Your feelings about it are valid but rest assured you needn't feel bad.
