When they say “ADHD is overdiagnosed,” what they really mean is “We only recognized it in hyperactive boys for decades.” They forget to say: • girls were overlooked • women were misdiagnosed with anxiety or depression • countless adults were left untreated It’s not…

PTSD is NOT “living in the past.” NO ONE has ever healed from flashbacks by being told “Just move on.” In reality, that kind of message dismisses trauma and deepens the wound.

As a result of trauma, you may have: • Apologised for things that weren’t your fault • Said “yes” when you meant “no” • Stayed silent to keep the peace • Forgot how to relax • Learned how to disappear in plain sight That’s not weakness. That’s adaptation. I see you.

Suicidal ideation, for many, isn't about death. It's about relief. From shame. From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden. The goal isn't always "not wanting to be alive" It's just not wanting to live like this.

My trauma didn’t give me strength. It gave me insomnia, flashbacks, trust issues, and a brain wired for danger. If I’m still here, it’s not because trauma made me stronger. It’s because I refused to let it win.

I hate how trauma shows up: It’s overthinking every damn thing. It’s isolating when I need people most. It’s pushing away love because it feels unsafe. It’s choosing unhealthy coping mechanisms just to get through the day. It’s not who I want to be. It’s what survival mode is…

Trauma isn’t always flashbacks. Sometimes it’s just… • Dissociating in conversations • Feeling unsafe in safe places • Exploding over “small things” • Avoiding certain people or places • A body that won’t relax It lives in the nervous system, not just the mind.

Sometimes my mental illness makes me look like a bad friend. Late replies. Cancelled plans. Disappearing for weeks. But I swear I care more than I can show I’m just drowning inside my own head.

Children don’t “grow out of it.” They adapt. And that adaptation looks like… • People-pleasing • Perfectionism • Explosive anger • Shutting down • Constant fear of abandonment That’s not resilience. That’s survival.

Depression isn’t always sadness. Sometimes it’s just… • Numb scrolling for hours • Canceling plans again • Dishes piling up • Ignoring messages • Not recognizing yourself anymore It’s the quiet heaviness no one sees.
