hi! since i’m starting 2 c more posts abt BLM i want 2 say 2 pls consider ppls mental health! in june, i was manic, n was having goal directed behavior toward supporting BLM. i know this sounds great at first! i was supporting-
the movement as much as i could! but goal directed behaviors r rly bad. u barely sleep, don’t notice ur hunger, it literally becomes something u do nonstop every waking hour n it is extremely unhealthy n will keep getting worse if someone doesn’t intervene. i’m lucky my dad-
caught on like 6 days into it wen he realized the few times i came out of my room 2 get food i would only talk abt BLM n told him abt a huge google doc i was making of every source i could find, n he pointed it out to me n told me 2 give it a rest for a bit. he supports BLM 2, he
wasn’t telling me 2 stop bc of that. he was worried abt my mental stability. goal direction can ruin every single other aspect of ur life n w ppl pressuring other ppl on here 2 keep posting i’m just worried abt it happening 2 some1 else n them being shamed 4 something they can’t-
ctrl, n then there’s intense burnout from it. i am proud of every1 4 being activists n wanting other ppl 2 speak up, but some of our brains don’t function the same way!!! if they aren’t posting as much or aren’t as active pls don’t immediately assume they don’t support it! they-
may just b trying to prolong it so they don’t burn out 
after i was stopped in june, i rested 4 a few days 2 get the goal directing 2 simmer down, n from then on i shared links wen they came up on my tl n didn’t actively seek every single source i could find to make a doc of-

refs! this is an extremely painful topic. i understand that black ppl can’t escape it so if ur non-black u shouldn’t think u can either, that’s 100% true. that is not a point i’m trying to argue. i just think ppl should take a step back if they c some1 posting a fuckton about it-
then suddenly not at all, or being cautious about making it all they tweet about. it’s very different from performative activism. we r trying our best to help how we can. be patient with ppl, check in on ur black friends, and don’t shame ur mentally ill ones. pls. i am trying
to do what i can without running my ability to help into the ground. it being all i posted about in june is what led me into goal directed behavior in june, so i’m just trying to do what i can currently w/o driving myself into goal direction. thank u. thats all. keep fighting
i literally think i lost followers for this o well i’m sorry my brain can’t function wish it could i’m trying to b an ally the best i can :(
