Mental Health And Disorders - Tumblr Posts
Today, I will not let the actions and feelings of others affect my internal peace.
Today, I will keep my internal peace in mind when I talk to others.
Today, I will say and do things that care for my mental health.
Today, I will take care of myself.

There really is something about being the queer mentally ill child of immigrant parents that makes it so that I can’t seem to be able to connect with my white queer friends.

It’s like I love my parents on a conceptual level but I can’t stand being around them most of the time.
