ursa major: What you don't see in the U.S. history... →
angrybrownbaby:
I ran across this and found it interesting (though I knew a good portion of the history since I remember learning about this as a kid in Mexico). I think the title should say Mexican and Black American Solidarity, though. As per usual, I will mention that Black people and…
It was a lot easier to be honest with myself in Cambridge.
I'm happy.
misswallflower:
For the first time in a very long time.
I know that this feeling is fleeting, I know that it’ll pass soon, I just want to hold onto it as long as possible, I want to remember it.
I want to remember it, so when I’m stuck in a rut again, I’ll know that there is something better out there, something much more beautiful and kind, that there is a way to be happy again.
I just want...
Bad things I did today:
Ate McDonald’s
Opened an email I knew would make me upset
Hurt someone’s feelings because my anxiety and paranoia got the best of me
Kind of was grouchy in general, didn’t try too hard to change my mood either
Good things I did today:
Didn’t shoot back an emotionally charged email to the offending one
Took time away from the house when I was...
Please stop emailing me

I hope one day I’m as lucky as Shakena and find someone like her boyfriend who won’t stigmatize my dysthymia.
It Takes A Muscle: There is no greater feeling... →

To cry and cry and cry, with the door closed on your bedroom floor, in the corner you didn’t quite get the last time you vacuumed.
To cry on the Metro, with your hair hanging over your face, head down, but knowing that regardless of what you do, all eyes on you.
To cry hysterically in the…
I’m really disappointed that where I went for the support group tonight was not the right location. I should have called or emailed beforehand to make sure the website information was still up to date :/
NancyAliceXo: The Art of Not Being Offended →
There is an ancient and well-kept secret to happiness which the Great Ones have known for centuries. They rarely talk about it, but they use it all the time, and it is fundamental to good mental health. This secret is called The Fine Art of Not Being Offended. In order to truly be a master of…
Thanks to the person who sent me this on emotionalbaggagecheck.com
I know it’s hard, but there are so many people who love you and are there for you. You may not see it now, but I promise, YOU AREN’T ALONE. I had a similar situation in middle school and high school. I had a friend that wasn’t being a good friend to me. I just gradually stopped hanging around her and started...
