Psych Alive!
I'm interning at The Glendon Association and their self help website is called Psych Alive, and some really smart people write really good articles there.
I'm really interesting but the blog's not about me. Sometimes I will reblog stuff I think is cool though because that's just how I roll. I also run this other blog that's about growing food in cities, and people must like it because I have around 15,000 followers for some reason.
There are a lot of suicidally depressed people on Tumblr. You can search for tags like "depression" and "suicide" and "cutting" and "selfharm" and see for yourself. If you're one of those people, you can always call 1-800-SUICIDE (1-800-784-2433). If you know somebody who is struggling with these issues, there are lots of resources at psychalive.org to help you figure out what the best course of action is. Just remember that you are not your thoughts or feelings, and they don't have to control you. Easier said than done. Thanks for reading, and please follow the blog!
a sick culture puts voices in our heads that judge who we are, which makes us dependent on those sick, inaccurate inner beliefs in order to survive as self-hating consumers. one way to fight that is to click the photo (gotta link to psychalive.org sometimes sorry)
///////TRIGGER WARNING///////////
Rape culture is treating rape as a compliment, as the unbridled passion stirred in a healthy man by a beautiful woman, making irresistible the urge to rip open her bodice or slam her against a wall, or a wrought-iron fence, or a car hood, or pull her by her hair, or shove her onto a bed, or any one of a million other images of fight-fucking in movies and television shows and on the covers of romance novels that convey violent urges are inextricably linked with (straight) sexuality.
