i don’t think i fully realized until now how hypocritical, disgusting, and honestly fucking sickening tumblr’s attitude towards positivity posts is?

like. you want people to cope in ways you deem positive and healthy? and then when people do that, you make fun of them for it and turn it into a joke? fuck you all from the bottom of my heart

like

mentally ill people: i haven’t been able to find coping mechanisms that work for me

tumblr: that’s unhealthy and you’re anti-recovery unless you spend every fucking minute of your time trying to find coping mechanisms

mentally ill people: okay, i’ve started using dark humor to help myself cope

tumblr: that’s unhealthy and you’re anti-recovery unless you cope in Good Wholesome Positive Ways That Are Approved Of By Me

mentally ill people: okay, i’ve started searching out positivity blogs that tell me i’m valid

tumblr: *mocks the concept of positivity blogs and validation, turning them into a meme, to the point where what used to be an important coping mechanism for me now makes me feel worse and even seeing the word “valid” makes me feel sick*

mentally ill people: okay, since clearly anything i do will be used against me, i guess i’ll go back to the dark humor. it seems fitting.

tumblr: that’s unhealthy and you’re anti-recovery
