How to stop..?
Personality Disorders Support / by ChasingStorms

...See more How do I stop locking all my emotions in my head? How do I express myself and my needs and wants without my jaw literally locking up tight? How do I stop getting upset when my SO is playing a game or doing something he enjoys? Even though I never actually express that it upsets me. How do I learn to put something I want first instead of trying so desperately to please someone else? How do I not twist their words into something that hurts my feelings? How do I stop being afraid that they will leave me? How do I start feeling like I'm enough? How do I start liking myself? How do I stop getting aggravated so easily about anything inconvenient to myself? How do I stop being such a burden?

...See more I've already lost a week to write for Nanowrimo and I don't know how to begin my story. It is about a Transgender college student struggling to find where he stands in his dance classes. He struggles with depression, anxiety and gender dysmorphia. There will also be romance involved with another male. But I seriously can't think of a beginning.
Bad depressive episodes. How does it make you feel?

...See more When anxiety and depression mix I feel this overwhelming need to just die. And I get so angry about being alive. I get so stressed about everything I have to do. And I crash. I shut down into this feeling of trapping rage and sadness into a cage. I push away everyone around me. And I just. Want. To die. But I can't. I can't and it's killing me inside. Because I know I have things that need to be done and people to support. But I can't figure out what it is that makes people want to live. What makes people truly want to stay alive in this crappy world?
Depression rolls in storms

...See more My name's Chase. I have been dealing with depression for a long time. Since I was about 11. . .and I'm almost 22. I used to deal with it easily. Or so I thought. But I've since learned that self harm is not "dealing with it." I haven't done such a thing in months and even though I want to be proud of that I can't. Because I've made it longer before. Depression has been hitting me harder the older I grow. I find it hard to even get out of bed for anything. My significant other has to drag me out of bed just to go to work or to even eat. Today I didn't wake up until 6pm. Which is how I seem to spend my days off. But there is nothing inherently wrong with my life. I don't know why I feel this way and it truly is eating away at me. . .
