Artsy depression: haunted eyes, good at art, emo hair and eyeliner on point

Actual Depression: bloodshot eyes, no longer trust themselves with pencils, has not showered in five days

Quirky OCD: organized books, clean room, color coordinated outfits

Actual OCD: Intrusive thoughts, flipping the light switch 8 times so you don’t stab your brother, picking holes in your skin

Actual eating disorders: Puffy cheeks and eroded teeth from excessive vomiting, hair growing over your freezing body and refusing to eat carrots because they’re too high in carbs

Adorable anxiety: just a smol bean, soft, must be protected from the world

Actual anxiety: crying so hard you throw up, shaking, losing sleep over a period after the “okay”

Actual PTSD: Buying your first pregnancy test at twelve, flinching at high fives, i can’t feel my hands where am I what year is it

Cartoon ADHD: look a squirrel, something shiny, fidgety loveable bufoon

Actual ADHD: rereading the same page over and over because it doesn’t make sense, hasn’t done the laundry in four months, hyperfocusing on a mushroom knowing you have work to do

Uwu smol baby autism: adorably awkward, huggable, acts cute when confused, has some sort of rainman talent and a perfect memory in general

Real autism: worrying about whether you’re interpreting people’s cues correctly/making your tone sound correct for the context, or whether they’re about to get wierded out and uncomfortable bc of something you said, sensory issues that drive you nuts, not being able to adapt to sudden changes in plans and freaking out, melting down or shutting down when stressed by stupid things

“there are just some people you’ll always answer, even if you haven’t spoken to them in months or years and the last time you spoke they decimated your heart, your entire being. even if they were the reason for the permanent stains on your cheeks where your dimples used to be. even if they’re the reason why you didn’t get out of bed for days on end, praying that this was somehow some nightmare you would eventually wake up from. even if it’s years later, and the wounds they had inflicted turned to scars and your smile has returned because of someone new. even if it’s 2 a.m. on a tuesday and you’ve got to be up at 6 a.m. to start your day. a day in a life where they no longer exist. you cling onto a shred of hope that maybe, just maybe that nightmare is still ongoing, that you’re going to wake up one day and he’s going to be there, looking at you with those golden brown eyes and million dollar smile telling you just how beautiful you are. when was the last time he told you that? was it before or after he took your soul? before or after he whispered sweet nothings and empty promises of forever into your ear that you desperately wanted to hear as he was more concerned with taking of your shirt than tearing down your walls. before or after he was unfaithful? before or after he came crawling back to you, head in hands, tear stained cheeks, begging for you. begging for your heart, your forgiveness. little did he know, he didn’t have to beg because he already had it. he still has it. even after all these years. even after all this time. even after all the bullshit and lies. i know he’ll never call again. i’ll never hear his voice. i’ll never tremble at his sweet caress. i’ll never not love him. i’ll always answer him, even though he’ll never want me to. even now, even after all this time.”
