I KNOW I TOTALLY JUST POSTED, BUT:

i had to share this post. i officially declare it Required Reading if you know someone who lives with a mental illness or a personality order. (which you do if you are reading this post right now, so HAH THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO READ IT. YOU HAVE BEEN COMMANDED BY THE CRAZY.) (also, you probably also know someone who is not me with a mental illness or personality disorder, even if you don't know it, just 'cause statistics say so. WE WALK AMONG YOU.)

aw. i am sorry i inadvertently made you cry. i actually had a totally opposite reaction, in that blindly euphoric, oh-my-god-you-just-articulated-everything-i-needed-to-say-but-have-never-voiced-before! kind of way. that post, and others of its ilk, should be read by as many people as humanly possible, i think. it's important to be reminded of privilege and all the ugly ways it manifests. important to be reminded that hey, there are kind of sort of a lot of different people in this world, who live in very different ways, and sometimes you don't even realize how baneful your ignorance of how others live can be.

oh, i think the crying is only halfway related to the posts. lots of it is probably due to intense family-related stress that is going on as we speak, but also due to the fact that so much of these posts are things i have wanted to articulate but never could, for fear of judgment/rejection/abandonment/blah blah blah. linking to these is a very wonderful gesture, and i thank you. ♥

well, you're welcome for the linkage, and i'm sorry about the family-related stress. i hope things get better for you soon. *hugs*
