Seahorses.. 😊

i think what really damaged me was how often i ignored my own intuition just because i wanted things to work out so badly

one of the loneliest feelings is realizing you spent so much time emotionally showing up for people who only showed up for you when it was convenient for them

Suicidal ideation often sounds like: “I’m so tired.” “I can’t do this anymore.” “Everyone would be better off without me.” It’s rarely about death. It’s about escape. From overwhelm. From shame. From feeling like a burden. And what people actually need is support not silence.

Me trying to act normal after hearing things that broke my heart.

Me pretending not to pay attention while observing absolutely everything

Bir gün iyileşiyor gibi hissediyorsun ertesi gün yeniden karanlığa düşüyorsun. Sonu olmayan bir döngü gibi hissettiriyor.

inside used to be punishment lmao

The narcissist picked you because you were extremely attractive to them. You had something they desperately wanted. You had light. And you were safe. That’s what people don’t understand. Narcissists do not attach themselves to people they see as weak, empty, or worthless. They gravitate toward people who are kind, patient, empathetic, loving, ambitious, loyal, forgiving, emotionally intelligent, and full of life.

Actually, NOBODY likes you when you're depressed. Plain and simple. We can talk all day about MENTAL HEALTH and how important it is but the moment you are depressed, people really start to distance themselves. They see you as NEGATIVE, a BURDEN, and someone just too HEAVY to handle.

realizing the reason you don't remember your childhood is actually a trauma response and not just "bad memory"
