TW: Abuse, PTSD, drugs, suicide ideation
My name is Cassidy. I’m 20 years old and I live with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD. What that means is that I constantly live with anxiety, hypervigilance, flashbacks, and nightmares as the result of a trauma. I was diagnosed on October 31, 2011, but I’ve probably had PTSD for years.
I’m having to relive my trauma right now. I’m currently living with my mother and sister. They’re both PTSD denialists, meaning they think I’m making it up or exaggerating. They abuse me psychologically by purposefully setting off severe anxiety and flashbacks (known as a ‘trigger’). They have also tried to force me to do illegal drugsin hopes of getting rid of my anxiety so that I’m easier to “put up with”. The abuse gets physical from time to time too, and I’ve been denied my medication and access to a doctor. I’ve had to save up money or borrow from friends in order to get my prescriptions.
I have tried to leave before, but my mom bullied me into staying by saying that she will cancel both my phone and my health insurance if I try to leave. I need both those things in order to keep up with treatment.
I really wish it didn’t have to come to this, but if I don’t want things to get so bad that I resort to self-harm or suicide, I have to move out.
And that means I’ll need donations. I’ve set up a PayPal here.
Even if you can’t help financially, you can help by signal boosting.
Signal boost please

Hey Tumblr, if you’re poor, under-or-unemployed, and/or uninsured, you can probably get free drugs directly from the manufacturers.
Yeah, free. Like seriously all you pay for is maybe the doctor/nurse visit you’ll probably need to go to for the prescription.
The basics, because every program is different:
You need:
- to fill out a buttload of paperwork, which is a pain in the buns, but FREE MEDS
- a prescription for the medication(s) you’re trying to obtain, which means you’ll need to find a doctor or nurse practitioner (someone who can legally write scripts), whom you can also probably see for free at a community clinic if you’re willing to chill on a waiting list for three months.
- proof of residence, official ID, utility bill, something like that
- probably your most recent W-2 or paystub, to prove you need assistance. if you make a “decent” amount but maybe have tremendous bills or something, some companies will make exceptions if you take the time to write a letter explaining the situation, and maybe include a pile of copies of your bills. if you’ve been unemployed for a while or have never worked, they’ll probably ask you to explain how you get by, or to provide proof that you’re getting food stamps or something of the sort.
- that’s pretty much it.
- like i said, every company is different, so make sure you read every line of the requirements, because it’s a pain in the arse to send all your shit in and find out that whoops you forgot to draw a unicorn on the lower left-hand corner of your 2011 W-2 form or some ridic shit

Basically, pretty much every major pharmaceutical company has some sort of free/discount drug program; you just have to dig around to find it because nobody tells us about them unless they’re those rare sorts of doctors who actually advocate for their patients.
We have a lists of hotlines for over 50 countries listed, chatrooms categorized by illness, websites where you can find help and information, and people who willing to listen and give advice.
Mental health has become a taboo in our world and as a result people living with mental health illness feel that they are unable to reach out for help in fear that they will be judged. It is important for us to have a place where people are supportive and help each other.
Together we are strong <3
Hey guys, I’m helping out at this tumblr too.
If you’d like to be put on a list to let people know you’re open to talking about certain issues and illnesses and the ilk, message the tumblr and we’ll add you :D
Much love~

“I’m getting lots of hate… What do I do?”
If you’re getting hate messages, here are a few things you can do:
- Turn anonymous messaging off. Most people aren’t willing to show their faces, so simply turning the anonymous feature off can usually reduce the amount of hate you receive.
- Use the “block” feature. Sometimes people don’t realize that you can actually block people from sending you messages, even anonymously. Try blocking anyone who sends you a hateful message, and see what happens.
- Have a friend monitor your ask box. Ask someone you trust if they can watch your ask box whenever you’re away from the computer or something. Have them delete hate messages if they see any, and this should help lessen the amount of hate messages you see.
- Reach out to other blogs. If you’re getting a lot of hate, don’t be afraid to talk to other blogs and ask for help or encouragement. We’re all in this together, and most people here on tumblr will be there for you and stand up for you :)
- Acknowledge that if it’s hate, it’s probably wrong. Most hate messages are completely wrong and totally vague. Do your best to realize that when people send mean things, they really have no reason or evidence for the stuff they say. It’s just empty words.
