*INSTITUTIONALIZATION IS WORSE THEN JAIL*

Disabled, mentally ill, and homeless people thrown into institutions don’t get phone calls, lawyers, or trails. THEY ARE DISAPPEARED with no time limits or advocate for as long as the state pleases.

You know it’s bad when prisoners have more protections.

You are loved. Support is here.

Joy makes the experience just about tolerable. I'm glad you're experiencing joy even though the other things are still there 💜

Sounds like a noun rather than an adjective. Like "I'm feeling a lot of confelicity today"

Thank you so much! 💜

Solidarity! I recognise all of this. Can I give you a virtual hug?

I've been there and am still there to some extent. I empathise so much. And I'm glad you're not trying to be dead! That's the biggest fight a lot of the time. :-/

It's literally survival mode. I recognise this so much. It makes the creative part of your brain pretty much inaccessible and focuses all the energy into fight/flight (with a side of freeze/fawn if you have those "installed"). The rage and anger is the fight response.

A few days later there was a story in the local paper about UFO sightings in the area... Always stayed with me.

Yes! As a kid (12-13) in Norway I woke up in the middle of the night and saw the entire living room (with panoramic windows) lit up in this bright, radioactive-esque green light. I got very scared and hid under my duvet lol

Fucking hell that sucks! I've experienced similar before (e.g. my therapist was off sick for our appointment and no one thought to contact me) and it really does make you feel invisible.

I see you! You are real! And you are awesome to boot! 💜

Haha I kinda like the crab (despite thinking they're the spiders of the sea irl!) - tough shell, soft insides, I definitely have some pincers too. Can go unnoticed if I want to, or really make my presence known. I dunno, it works for me 😜
