depression is real. educate yourself. don't be stuck on your own mentality.

sometimes, i suddenly blank out and the nagging voice in head, once whispering, slowly screams to go kill myself.
lucky for me, i muffle out the voice, but im scared that sooner or later i might listen to Suicide.

I relate to this. It frustrates me even because I try so hard to think about the good things in life, my blessings, happiness, you know? But then it always always is there

I can't stop thinking about death and I'm having urges to do self-harm. It doesn't even need to have a trigger, I could just be sitting and doing nothing. I don't know what's wrong with me. No one knows about this since I seem like a generally happy person when I'm with people, but I guess that's my fault. I just don't want to burden anyone with my negativity. Anyway, thank you for reading this.

tbh i'm with this post. not to belittle god---if he ever exists---but there are actual living people around us and they themselves can bring connection---establish relationships that may blossom if we help each other and not just pass it on to a being that is seen as more powerful.

i got sick of asking God to listen and I found it sad to think how I'd rather let him listen than the people around me or how when i want the people i love to listen to me they just say, "Tell God, He'll listen". I am there trying to connect to you but you pass on my thoughts and my effort. Is it too much of a responsibility?

If you'll run from a person who loves you make sure to come back. If you'll run from a person who's not a positive influence in your life then by all means go. Be with people who tell you what you're doing wrong but won't judge you for it and those who actually care. Oh and don't forget to love yourself ah! :)

your emotions are valid.
to be happy is valid.
to be sad is valid.
to be scared is valid.

not really knowledgeable on this but:
- talk to a friend you can really trust or a professional
- self-care (healthy diet, good night's sleep, etc.)
- surround yourself with positivity and/or what interests you

should you like to do self-harm (which i really hope you won't do), direct the urge to something else like flicking a rubber band on your wrist.

kapit lang. <3

Sa tinuod lang guys? If youre in a bad place, surround yourself with good vibes. Di yung escapism. Just, avoid the unnecessary bs. Avoid overly negative lyrics in songs. Avoid gruesome movies. Avoid pseudo-deep/edgy philosophy that only brings down the mood. Avoid the stuff that gives your demons fuel. Di mo na man yan kailangan diba? Eventually, I promise you, things will look a little better if you just stop giving your brain more bullshit on top of the bullshit it generates on its own.

Learning what mental illnesses and disabilities actually are instead of just basing on often romanticized stereotypes doesn't just make you a more compassionate person, but more importantly helps those struggling with them to be taken more seriously and get better access to mental health resources. Please don't just throw around words like OCD, bipolar, and schizophrenia without understanding the full weight of these words and how people actually have to deal with them and the associated negative stigma.

I had friends who listened. They didnt have to offer advice, they just had to be there. After a while, I learned to love myself the way they loved me.
