Vaccines work!!! Don’t be an idiot!
: It saddens and enrages me that many people do not believe males can get raped
…or, they think it’s no big deal and the male victim should just “get over it” and “be a man” as if it wasn’t the horrific trauma it was.
Now I know some of you are screaming “BUT MORE FEMALES ARE RAPED”
Which I guess is true, and that’s horrific as well, but that doesn’t erase the pain of the…
Everyone needs to read this.
Today was my first day of outpatient therapy and first real appointment with a psychiatrist after over nine years of self-injury, depression, drug and alcohol abuse, eating disordered habits, and long struggle with mental illness and unhappiness.
I had always ran away from the thought, but I finally decided I want to get better.
After talking to my psychiatrist today, I was prescribed some medicine, started on a treatment plan suited for me, and submitted into the outpatient therapy program. I felt good. I felt important. It felt right.
But when I came home no one supported me. They told me I’m “stupid”, “crazy”, and “weak”. That I just need to “deal with it”. I’m 19 years old and my own Mother refused to let me fill my medications because she does not “believe in it” and thinks I “don’t need it”.
My older sister followed in her footsteps and proceeded to ridicule me for seeking treatment and taking medication. She then posted this status about me.
At first I felt like crying. But you know what? Fuck it. I replied back and stood up for myself.I AM NOT GOING TO BE ASHAMED OF HAVING MENTAL ILLNESS.
THIS STIGMA SURROUNDING MENTAL ILLNESS HAS TO GO.
AND EVERYONE - I MEAN EVERYONE - WHO AGREES NEEDS TO REBLOG THIS WITH THE PROMISE THAT THEY TOO WILL STAND UP WHEN SOMEONE PUTS US DOWN FOR POSSESSING SOMETHING WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
Don’t let the uneducated try to educate you about who you fucking are.
So in case anyone was wondering, the word “Bipolar” is not an adjective. So that means that the weather can’t be bipolar, your hair can’t be bipolar, your random mood swing isn’t bipolar. Bipolar Disorder is a serious mental illness. Throwing around the word “Bipolar” is something you should avoid because it does not help the stigma associated with this chronic illness.

Protect Florida's Women: 20 Things Never to Say to a Friend Who Confides in You That They've Been Sexually Assaulted
Written by Anahvia Mewborn
This list is by no means exhaustive. Unfortunately many people will know or do know someone who’s a survivor of a sexual assault or rape. If you find yourself in the position of confidant, please choose your words carefully. They can make a world of difference. (This…
*TW: rape* Honestly here’s the end-of-story thing about rape:
A legal action (such as wearing a short skirt) does NOT make an illegal action (rape) legal.
Rape is illegal. End of Story.
There is nothing that will decriminalize the act of rape. It will remain a crime no matter if the victim was drunk, dressed a certain way, or any other act you can come up with that the victim can do.
There is nothing that can take away the guilt of the rapist. The rapist committed a crime, the victim did not.
