Though it's almost over, May is mental health awareness month and I'd like to share my struggle.
IF THIS DOES NOT INTEREST YOU, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO READ THIS. PLEASE BE KIND AND UNDERSTANDING.
As this is sensitive, I'd like to take the time to offer some trigger warnings for talk about depression, mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and mental/emotional/physical abuse.
I honestly try to keep extremely quiet and secretive about my battle with mental illness nowadays. It's become rather trendy in many circles to claim mental illness, often without official diagnosis, to feel special or different. In some cases, I've seen people claim it as a means to use as an excuse for poor behavior or to guilt trip people into giving them what they want. There is also so much misunderstanding with mental illness, it's really scary to tell people about it because you know that most will assume something or stereotype it. I'm wont to make jokes here and there and call myself out on things in person sometimes, but online I've been pretty diligent in only disclosing my problems online when absolutely necessary. Those who have been following me for an extended period of time before I became fearful of expressing these issues may remember some of what I am about to talk about, but I've still kept a lot quiet.
Atypical Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder
First and foremost, I struggle daily with depression and anxiety. I lose hours a day just sitting around or being entirely too afraid to do anything. I constantly fear that I am going to do things wrong and I often find no enjoyment in anything I do. I rarely leave my home and when I do it's a struggle to hide how I'm feeling. When I see my friends I put on a show just so they don't worry about me. I feel tired most of the time and I'm either sleeping in or too afraid to sleep depending on what's more prevalent at the time. I'm easily overwhelmed and freeze up. I feel like I can't get anything done and like I'm going nowhere in my life because of this. On a number of occasions, I've attempted suicide. I've been hospitalized for an overdose once and been extremely ill after untreated overdoses multiple times. I attempted to hang myself once unsuccessfully due to the rope snapping, and ran away briefly that night in fear of being put in 5150 for a third time. I feel guilty about everything even if it's not my fault and I just criticize myself at every twist and turn. I feel like I'm never happy. The worst part is that even when I did have proper medical care, I was unable to be treated successfully due to potentially dangerous side-effects arising from multiple antidepressant/antianxiety medications. Every day is a struggle and I often find myself thinking about the "easy way out" because I just won't ever be a functional member of society. Everyone is going to get sick of me and leave me eventually, I think. In fact, I'm absolutely terrified about that fact. It makes it difficult to even try and I feel eternally lost.
PTSD
This is extremely difficult to talk about, mostly because I'm so used to getting the, "You weren't in a war. You can't have PTSD," reactions from people. I've been through a lot of extremely abusive situations that piled up to this. On top of being beaten throughout most of my childhood and teenage years, along with some traumatic events in adulthood, I was sexually assaulted once as a teen, and twice again in the last 5 years. Sometimes things trigger me to remember these events in detail and it takes every ounce of strength I have to avoid breaking into a panic attack. When I do, well, it's exhausting and I usually can't function for the rest of the day, sometimes multiple days, until I get my mind back in order. Sometimes I have to wait until I have an appointment with my therapist to put the pieces back together if it's that bad. On a few occasions I have had disassociation because the reaction was so severe and lost unexplained chunks of time. It's really scary when this happens and I don't really expect anyone to understand what it's like unless they've been through it before. I often have to ask people not to speak about certain topics (which I feel guilty about, because I feel guilty about everything) just to try to avoid triggering some sort of breakdown. It's not something I want to do, and I sometimes just keep quiet and silently suffer or remove myself from social events. I was once mocked for having PTSD from sexual assaults so it's really just a sick, sad world we live in.
ADHD (Combination type)
This here is an asshole of a cornerstone and the ultimate catalyst to my other issues. Contrary to popular belief, ADHD is more than "teehee look a shiny!" and possible hyperness, and this is what ultimately led me to keep quiet in most cases. ADHD is often wrongly diagnosed and handed out to anyone who claims to have a focus issue (which in most cases is just that you're not into what you have to focus on) so it's become an extremely misunderstood illness. Most people with ADHD are either primarily attention-defecit or primarily hyperactive-impulsive, and I've been unfortunate enough to have pretty severe combination type ADHD. This means I'm bogged down by just about every issue it can present. The hyperactive-impulsive side is extremely risky in combination with my other issues. ADHD is on a spectrum with both OCD and Tourette's, so I experience a number of symptoms of overlap as well. I have to deal with intrusive thoughts on a daily basis, which makes my likelihood to be unable to forget about and avoid any triggers nearly impossible. Imagine an unpleasant thought popping into your head and being unable to get it out of mind for hours upon hours no matter what you do and no matter how much it hurts you. I get that all the time. If I am under stress, I have difficulty controlling impulses and this is a risk to my safety both physically and financially. I sometimes develop tics that worsen under stress and become harmful to myself. I'm prone to extreme, rapid mood swings based on simple triggers, also worse when stressed. I will fixate on and obsess over things, and I am extremely impatient in waiting for a resolution. I am at a high risk of losing my temper, and sometimes in times of stress I'll lose myself and break something in frustration without realizing it, then immediately be overcome with crippling guilt and shame that leads me to go sob in bed for an hour. I do things all the time on impulse and regret them afterwards. The more stressed out I am, the worse it gets. There's so much more to this, but I thought I'd explain a little that most people are unaccustomed to hearing about due the believe that everyone with ADHD has the same, stereotypical "YAY SHINEY" problem. This has caused me so much grief that I feel nobody understands what I go through and that if I try to explain I'll get more stereotypical jokes slung at me all the time.
Basically, I'm a mess. My day-to-day life is a constant struggle, but I am constantly trying to look like a "normal" functional human being. I think this is what's most terrifying about having mental health issues. Just the fear of being abandoned, made fun of, misunderstood, and unaccepted for things you have next to no power over. It's all too common for people to take mental illness lightly, which leaves those suffering far worse off. It's hard to get help when nobody will take you seriously. It's hard to talk when everyone thinks you're making it up. It's impossible to "get over it" like so many people tell us to. I don't know when I'll ever be okay again. I don't know if I'll ever get things under control, or when they'll have a medication regimen that can work for me.
I already know this is a huge risk to have opened up about and that I am likely to lose multiple watchers, but honestly if you can't respect and understand mental illness is a serious thing, I probably don't want you in my life in any way.
Whenever I lose people for expressing things like this, it only shows how big of a problem there is to be fixed still.
To all of you who also live with mental health issues, I believe in you. <3 Stay strong. We can do this, even if it's just one day at a time.
So that's all. Sorry to get all serious and stuff, but this is rather important to me and many people in my life who struggle alongside me.
About the art uh... I took like 3-4 hours to rush this so I'm sorry it's kinda sucky for my standards.

(first are you kidding me about standards of art this piece is really beautiful oh my gosh I'd love to see more of this pretty style)
And thank you for talking about this part of you; I can empathize with quite a bit and am not (yet) ready to bring own my issues out to the public although I want to. I feel like you are really brave for speaking about it, and I feel like this message will go a long way to others who are struggling too.

I wasn't able to read through this because if the trigger warning stuff on top but just know I am here for you and you are one of the strongest people I know! I'm very proud that you were able to open up like this, its a wonderful step and I'm sure it took a lot of guts.
I'll always be here for you. I know sometimes I disappear for periods if time but you're one of my best friends and you're more than worthy to keep around.
You're amazing. I know mental illness has a way with making one feel like they aren't but you really, really are amazing.
Also I didn't know you had PTSD, though that makes a lot of sense! I was also diagnosed with PTSD so if you ever need comfort for it- I'm always, always here. And it sucks that its played off as only something war veterans get because its such a terrible thing to deal with.
This is really a powerful piece. <3

<33333 That is okay and of course yes! I feel exactly the same cause I disappear often on social fronts, too.
You're also amazing and you've been a wonderful friend all these many years and you are also super amazing.
I've been diagnosed for a while, but shut down entirely on telling people cause of when I was made fun of for it. But yas we can help each other through. <3
Thank you so much I'm glad it speaks out. <3333 ;A;

Imma find those people who made fun of you for it and punt them into the sun c:
Sorry you were made to feel bad about it. There is nothing wrong with having PTSD. You don't need to be a war veteran for it, and unfortunately all it takes is some trauma. I'm sorry you've been through trauma enough to develop it, though. Plus it's super brave of you to be able to talk about it on this piece even though you had adversity with shitty people bringing you down for something you can't help. It's really impressive!
Thanks for being so understanding ;W; You're the best. I'm always gonna be by your side and I'm always willing to help if you need a shoulder! :D

I always wonder what it's like to have to live like that... Many of my friends have suffered from things such as what you've listed. For them, it was a struggle even to come to school on certain days. I can't imagine the difficulty because, well... I wasn't born or experienced things like they did.
There are days where my friends were very depressed or very anxious. Sometimes, I think that empathy can only do so much... I wish that there was something better to say than "It gets better" or "I'll support you". They tell me all the time that these problems can't be fixed, and they are the only ones to bear their burden. I didn't understand it in the past, and it affected me pretty badly. I know now that you can't "fix" stuff like this... I still think it sucks though...
But, even against that, you and my friends have something in common. And that's that you're both strong. Very strong. Probably stronger than anyone else could ever be. You all can push through and make it. It doesn't matter if it's making it out of bed, or making it through an entire day. What you do, you do it amazingly, and I really admire that.
You guys got this. <3 I may not comment much, but shoot, everyone I watch I admire quietly.

This was all super amazing and wonderful to hear, and really means a lot to me. It's nice to know the other side of someone who acknowledges that it's not easy. Honestly most of us just want people with that attitude who'd just be there for us when we need them even if it's just sitting there keeping us company. Being accepted is always really refreshing feeling.
*Hugs* Well, you just got a watcher.
I can't imagine what it's like having ADHD and PTSD alongside, but I also struggle with generalized anxiety disorder and clinical depression. I dropped out of highschool halfway through my senior year because I just couldn't do it anymore; something broke, and I pondered suicide more than once, although I never acted upon it. Last semester in college I had a relapse, and just about dropped out there too. I have high-functioning autism, crippling social anciety, and a number of irrational phobias that make going in public something I avoid whenever possible. I don't think I'll ever be truly independent because of it. I'm always going to need someone to keep my life going in the right direction. I worry that I'm never going to ammount to anything, never going to be able to pay everyone back for getting me this far, because I sure as hell didn't do it on my own, and I'm not strong enough to keep going on my own either. I also worry that the people I need are going to die and I'll be stranded, basically.
And yeah, medication switches suck rocks. Mine are currently making me feel hungry and incredibly ill all at once, which makes no sense at all. And the worst part of it is when you're still trying to figure out if it's working, and the awful moment when you realize that you can't tell the difference anymore between "legitimately happy" and "simply not afraid/feeling hopeless right now" because it's been so long since you actually felt the first one.
But... I still hope against hope that there's a way. That someday everyone can find the right balance of meds to have a happy life. Stay strong
(Wow, okay, spilling my heart out to a stranger on the internet. Here's hoping that's not weird at all.)

Awww thank you. <3
Well I'm glad you stayed strong and stuck around with college because that's a really great thing to have done and that's just super wonderful to hear. <3 I also dropped out of highschool and I've been unable to go back to school, so that's really amazing what you've done for yourself and I'm proud of you even though I've only just met you. <3 I hope you can keep strong through everything and keep improving your situation, and that your medication settles in for you. <3
(totally okay cause I just spilled my heart out to the public strangers of the internet already <3)

I am so glad that got to see this and I'm happily a new watcher.
You are amazing and strong to come out and explain all this. You are an amazing person. I have anxiety and depression as well and had some hard things growing up. ^^;
It must be so unbelievably hard to have PTSD, and ADHD along with it. You are so amazing dealing with all these. I believe in you :3
I'd love to get to know you ^^

*slow clap*
Itemized laugh time because you deserve it and this was funny to wake up and see:
1. Furaffinity is a website for sharing multiple medias of art of a (usually) furry nature and used to connect to others with similar interests. Just because you use it for porn, it doesn't mean we all do. Some people legitimately enjoy meaningful art as you can see above. I am sorry that you are so confused about what this website is for and that you are only here for porn. I suggest going to a website specifically for porn. e621.net is pretty good at that. Or, you know, ignoring non-pornographic postings.
2. I specifically said, "IF THIS DOES NOT INTEREST YOU, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGATED TO READ THIS. PLEASE BE KIND AND UNDERSTANDING." So please let me just point out that while you can apparently read, your reading comprehension levels are quite lacking and I am mournful for you because you list yourself as a writer in your profile. I am sorry homeschooling didn't do very well for you in that regard.
3. Oh look you're so edgy on the internet trying to be a smartass and you just looked really stupid instead. How cute. What were you trying to accomplish again?
4. I like even numbered lists.

It's a porn site. xtube has a comments section, that doesn't make it a social networking site. That's why we can't have Google ads. Also I wasn't obligated to read, but I was shuffled over here by someone else's journal under the pretense that this was informative and not just random bitching.
Right, first of all let's dissect this argument... I was gonna let bygones be bygones, but this is really bugging me now.
"It's a porn site" -- Incorrect; This is an area that accepts any and most forms of furry, human or animal art. If by the logic you apply is true, then Deviantart is also a porn site because it has nudity and aspects of pornography on it.
"I was shuffled over here by someone else's journal under the pretense that this was informative and not just random bitching."
First of all, if you actually took a minute to read it, this is actually quite informative on Ms. Teskine's part. It talks about the stigma of a lot of mental disorders and what she suffers from. In case you haven't noticed, or if you just missed the memo, this isn't just a place full of porn; this is actually a community. A community of people who live, breathe, think and, most importantly, have shit to say. Surprised? I bet you are.
By your logic, this writing... vent, or whatever you want to call it is "random bitching". So... what isn't bitching to you? Don't take this the wrong way, I'm actually curious.

First of all, if you actually took a minute to read it, this is actually quite informative on Ms. Teskine's part. It talks about the stigma of a lot of mental disorders and what she suffers from. In case you haven't noticed, or if you just missed the memo, this isn't just a place full of porn; this is actually a community. A community of people who live, breathe, think and, most importantly, have shit to say. Surprised? I bet you are.
By your logic, this writing... vent, or whatever you want to call it is "random bitching". So... what isn't bitching to you? Don't take this the wrong way, I'm actually curious.
DA is a porn site. If it's a website, and it hosts porn, it's a porn site. If there was a guy selling stuff outside of a 7-11 and only 10% of it was drugs, I'd still call him a drug dealer.
As for this being a community, yes, it is. And as a member of this community I come here for art, not listening to diatribes. This is what blogs are for.

A lot of art has meaning behind it that artists enjoy expressing. Also, if you come here for art, why are you calling this a porn site?
While your edginess and potential attempt to troll (if so, holy damn you're hilariously stupid instead of frustrating so gg?) has been amusing, I'm bored with you.
Again, TeenageAngst is a great username for you, because while you're apparently an adult, you never grew out of that disgustingly sad phase of your life. <3
Have a nice day.

If you see this website as only a porn site then it shows the lack of depth of your character.
Also because you seem stupid, I'll spell what I just said out for you: You're shallow and dense. You seem like a pathetic, sad person and I honestly feel bad for you.
I hope you find a reason to be less of a miserable waste of space, and maybe find a direction in life. Otherwise you're gonna die alone, buddy.

Nah he's one of those guys who probably thinks he's a troll if people don't agree with him, or that people think are trolling because we all secretly hope nobody is that dumb.
See 'em all the time and they're hilarious. Trolling is a little different than being flat-out stupid. x3

What part of "If this does not interest you, you are not obligated to read it" do you not understand, asshat? Because telling someone who suffers from mental illness that their feelings are invalid is CLEARLY something you should do.
Go spread your shit somewhere else. Leave my best friend alone. In case you can't read (which apparently you cannot), they're already hurting enough without you taking a giant dump on them. Thanks.

Super cool of you to share this with us, I imagine it must have taken a lot of will to post this.
While I cant claim to really understand how any of this really feels I've known so many people with ADHD while growing up and the amount of stereotyping and handwaving around it is just absurd, like I must have been the only person in my class that didnt treat it like a trivial matter.
Not sure how true this really is but to me it always seemed like the way they got treated over it was a way bigger problem than ADHD itself.
Even as an 11 year old I thought it was jarring :v
This is a great piece though, really powerful. And just because it cant be said enough, you are amazing for having posted this. I kind of have to watch you now ;b
