tweeted something about how people with depression and/or bipolar need love the most when they’re struggling the most. and had way too many people basically reiterate what most of us feel at those moments. that we’re a burden and not easy to love. newsflash: we fucking know this
Self loathing is one of the most dangerous parts about depression and a depressive bp cycle. Props to those trying to legitimately understand and help people they love. We know we’re not easy. We know we’re exhausting. We know we’re unlovable. No one knows this more than we do.
Let me make one thing clear quickly: yes, you need to take care of yourself. And please do. Yes, depending on the situation, you may need to set some boundaries. Yes, you may benefit from seeking out your own support of some kind. I don’t disagree with any of this....
But please know most of us on the other end are doing the best we can, as we know you are too. Oftentimes, all we need is a simple “I love you, I’m here for you”. Even if we may not seem visibly open to love at that moment, your I love you will make a difference.
Alright..... And time to wash my psych meds down with a Bloody Mary.
