I watched American Horror Story last night, episodes one and two, and chased it with Extreme Home Makeover and still couldn’t sleep!

it’s getting colder

which makes it harder for me to leave my bed, my room, my house. i need to fight it. i’m glad i have a regular schedule for the work week that forces me out of the house. i haven’t been sleeping well.

lots of things.

vegansaurus:

Whether you want to convert your omnivorous friends, need renewed vegan resolve, or just want to cry (catharsis—look it up, people), the latest news from Nation Earth is good news: You can stream Earthlings for free from its website.

This is, to me, the saddest and most convincing…

thehumorlessfeminist:

I will not be ashamed.

I am trying my best to be brave, to discuss depression, to help fight the stigma associated with mental illness.

Do whatever you can to make your illness visible, which could very well be just getting out of bed—sometimes it’s the most difficult thing in the world to do.

Most importantly, refuse to be ashamed.

your venlafaxineER looks so strange! i thought it was antibiotics at first. they have started actually making a generic for effexorXR (venlafaxineXR) which is a lot cheaper than venlafaxineER. you should check that out.

also, we win at taking pretty much the same meds. #justsaying

Toska

“No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness. At the lowest level it grades into ennui, boredom.

I am terrified by this dark thing
That sleeps in me;
All day I feel its soft, feathery turnings, its malignity.

“

—	Sylvia Plath \| Elm (via noideaissimple)

I start to think there really is no cure for depression, that happiness is an ongoing battle, and I wonder if it isn’t one I’ll have to fight for as long as I live. I wonder if it’s worth it.

“

—	Elizabeth Wurtzel (via bertiedav)

I didn’t want my picture taken because I was going to cry. I didn’t know why I was going to cry, but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat and I’d cry for a week. I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full.

Some people turn sad awfully young. No special reason, it seems, but they seem almost to be born that way. They bruise easier, tire faster, cry quicker, remember longer and, as I say, get sadder younger than anyone else in the world. I know, for I’m one of them.
