Thank you to all the people who posted this so I ended up seeing it. I really needed this right now. Thank you!
Yeah⌠Not gonna lie⌠I criedâŚ
We need more people like this
Goddamn it stop making me feel human
The therapist I wanna be.
Text in the image:
âIâm a therapist and keep this poster in my waiting room, apparently itâs saved a few lives.â
I donât like the phrase âa cry for help.â I just donât like how it sounds. When somebody says to me, âIâm thinking about suicide. I have a plan: I just need a reason not to do it,â the last thing I see is helplessness.
I think your depression has been beating you up for years. Itâs called you ugly, and stupid, and pathetic, and a failure, for so long that youâve forgotten that itâs wrong. You donât see any good in yourself, and you donât have any hope.
But still here you are: youâve come over to me, banged on my door and said, âHEY! Staying alive is REALLY HARD right now! Just give me something to fight with! I donât care if itâs a stick! Give me a stick and I can stay alive!â
How is that helpless? I think thatâs incredible. Youâre like a marine: trapped for years behind enemy lines. Your gun has been taken away, youâre out of ammo, youâre malnourished, and youâve probably caught some kind of jungle virus thatâs making you hallucinate giant spiders.
And youâre still just going, âGIVE ME A STICK. IâM NOT DYING OUT HERE.â âA cry for helpâ makes it sound like Iâm supposed to take pity on you, but you donât need my pity. This isnât pathetic. This is the will to survive. This is how humans lived long enough to become the dominant species.
With NO hope, running on NOTHING, youâre ready to cut through a hundred miles of hostile jungle with nothing but a stick, if thatâs what it takes to get to safety.
All Iâm doing is handing out sticks.
Youâre the one saying alive.
I legit cried at this. Iâve needed to hear it put this way. Bless this post.
Every time I see this post I stop to read the whole image. It always helps â even on the good days.
Because it wasnât weakness. It wasnât shameful to seek help. It wasnât pathetic to âcry for helpâ. I was looking for a stick, be that from myself or from someone else. I was trying to find a way out. I was trying to heal myself.
this is fuckin incredible.Â
Iâm sorry if I repost to many of these, but if it could be someoneâs âstickâ then itâs worth it
For anyone that needs to read this today.Â
-FemaleWarrior, She/TheyÂ
They also have this one and I think quite a few others but these two I keep on my phone and pull up on my bad days.
Text on second poster:
âWHY ARE YOU SO LAZY?â
But youâre not lazy. Lazy is when you shrug things off because you canât summon up the give-a-damn. When youâre curled up tight in your chair at your desk, alone and grey and desperately wishing that you had your life in order, that you did all those things you had to do, that it didnât feel like breaking rocks just to feed and clothe yourself and get some sleep, thatâs not lazy.
People donât understand. You tell them âItâs hard.â They tell you âNo it isnât, youâre just lazy.â
You start to wonder if theyâre right.
is breaking those rocks easy for everyone else? Are they that much stronger than you?
They donât look like theyâre struggling.
âJust try harder,â they say. But youâre trying. Itâs not working.
Breaking boulders in your path until youâre spent isnât lazy. And you do it day after day after day.
Youâre not lazy. Most people donât have those rocks to break. They donât even know what itâs like to have to break rocks to get things done. They donât understand how hard you have to work, and how hopeless you can feel, when you try and fail to do what they do so easily. Things are harder for you. They really are. And if those people had to deal with your problems, they wouldnât be doing any better.
Youâre not lazy. Youâre not weak. Youâre fighting hard. I guess I just want you to know that I know that.
Well. Well, well, well, well, well. Itâs here. The day has finally come. Weâve enjoyed witnessing you set dashboards ablaze the world over with your fandom hot takes, your cats, your dragon art, your recipe polls, your incorrect quotes, your Barbie memes. (But, really, mostly your cats.)
Starting April 20, you will be able to Blaze each otherâs posts: Youâll be able to scroll through your dash and see a post that tickles you, and then make thousands of complete strangers see that post also.Â
We made this for fun, but you remain in charge of your stuff. So here are some important details:
Blog-level settings: All blogs will be set to Blazable by default in your blog settings. Weâre giving you this heads-up so you can toggle Blaze off on any blog you donât want people to Blaze posts from (quick link for web). Remember to do so for any secondaries you might want to keep Blaze-free.Â
Post-level settings: These override your blog-level Blaze settings. You can enable Blaze in the post editorâbefore or after postingâvia the cog (web) or the meatball menu (mobile), regardless of your blogâs Blaze settings. Any posts you previously disabled reblogs on will remain unsharable via Blaze. Unless, of course, you edit the post to enable Blaze.
Real humans moderate all posts being Blazed before they go out. If somethingâs fishy or seems like it might be harmful, it wonât go through.
When someone Blazes your post, you will receive an email, push notification, and/or activity item (depending on your settings).Â
You can cancel the Blazing of your post before it happensâor extinguish a post that is already being Blazedâeither by responding to the aforementioned notification, or via the âActiveâ tab in your Blaze interface.Â
We will only accept posts that comply with our global advertising guidelines. Interested in advertising directly? Find out more here.
I just saw someone say the words âjokingly gaslightâ this might be a good time to reintroduce the internet to the terms âlyingâ or perhaps âprankingâ or even just âjokingâ on itâs own
Okay, say it with me guysâŚ
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that theyâll believe that itâs true, then thatâs lying.
If you are giving someone wrong information under the assumption that theyâll ultimately realise that itâs false, and that they will find this funny, then thatâs joking.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that theyâll believe that itâs true and that their response will be funny, then thatâs a prank.
If you are giving someone wrong information in the hopes that they will notice the differences between your presentation of reality and their perception of it, and come to doubt their ability to judge what is and is not real, then thatâs gaslighting.
now dont leave this in the tags
If you are giving someone wrong information and you assume they will know it is wrong, in hopes that they will play along, then thatâs a bit.
“This show, with its kindergarten-level intellectual capacity, moved from parroting conservative policies to constructing presidential priorities. “Fox & Friends” has essentially become Donald Trump’s daily briefing. Kilmeade once said on the show that “the Swedes have pure genes because they marry other Swedes,” and of Finland he said, “Finns marry other Finns so they have a pure society,” which was apparently better than America because, “We keep marrying other species and other ethnics.” The intellectual giant who is Doocy once attacked SpongeBob for pushing a “global warming agenda.” He was accused in a lawsuit by former co-host Gretchen Carlson of engaging in a “pattern and practice of severe and pervasive sexual harassment of Carlson” in part by “refusing to accept and treat her as an intelligent and insightful female journalist rather than a blond female prop.” This would all be silly trifle if in January the show didn’t mark its 195th month as the number one morning cable news program and if the president of the United States wasn’t taking cues from it.”
