Depression in summer is weird. It’s not dark and brooding, for me - it’s white and hazy and confusing. You feel very absent from everyone and everything. And all the light seems a little too bright for your tired eyes.
quick reminder to all of you who take prescribed antidepressants, antianxolants, etc. Please, please, stay cool this summer. It is incredibly important that you remain hydrated and in the shade as much as possible to avoid overheating. Your meds can increase your body temperature. If you feel faint, get inside, lie down, and drink a glass of ice water. Your body is a lovely muffin that’s at that perfect stage of golden brown. DO NOT cook yourself.
Wait. Antidepressants can make you overheat more quickly??? This makes so much sense, wow..
Yes, they can!
also if you take any ADD/ADHD meds like adderall or vyvanse remember to drink a lot because those meds are pretty dehydrating!
This is great to know.
Plus they make you photosensitive so stay out of the sun, not in a sunscreen way (I mean that too) but like really stay out of the sun because it’s 0% fun the way you’re gonna feel after
Antipsychotics can also make it easier for you to get heat exhaustion! Stay hydrated and in the shade!
Have you ever just looked at someone and thought, “I really love you”. They’re just talking or humming or watching a movie or reading a book or laughing or something, and there’s something about them in that moment—their body is alive, there’s a light in their eyes, something—that makes you think, “I just really love you.” It’s a weird sensation to think this, but it’s pretty awesome that we can feel this way about another being.
I hate when people say “A woman’s body was designed to give birth.”
No, giving birth is just something a woman’s body can do.
If we follow that logic, then because a man’s body can reach sexual climax via anal penetration, all men were designed for gay sex.
Needless to say, like gay sex, childbirth is just not some people’s cup of tea.
When they say ‘stop’, you stop.
When they say ‘maybe’, you get ready to stop.
When they say ‘go’, you go.
And like a traffic light, their signals are not optional.
For example, if they say ‘stop’ or ‘maybe’ and you decide to keep going, you will get hit by a truck.
MY truck.
I will run you over.
do you remember the first time you were called annoying?
how your breath stopped short in your chest
the way the light drained from your eyes, though you knew your cheeks were ablaze
the way your throat tightened as you tried to form an argument that got lost on your tongue.
your eyes never left the floor that day.
you were 13.you’re 20 now, and i still see the light fade from your eyes when you talk about your interests for “too long,”
apologies littering every other sentence,
words trailing off a cliff you haven’t jumped from in 7 years.
i could listen to you forever, though i know speaking for more than 3 uninterrupted minutes makes you anxious.
all i want you to know is that you deserve to be heard
for 3 minutes
for 10 minutes
for 2 hours
forever.there will be people who cannot handle your grace, your beauty, your wisdom, your heart;
mostly because they can’t handle their own.but you will never be
and have never been
“too much.”
