Mental health is a huge topic for me as it affects my life greatly. So I have a lot to say about it, but I also try to be private about it due to insecurity—so I'll try to keep this brief. (I say this as I might end up overexplaining myself to where it's not brief anymore💀 Apologies in advance for that.) I have mental disorders and many mental struggles. My Autism and ADHD have been a weight on my shoulders a lot of my life—I've felt left out in society. I feel that more than ever right now since I recently turned eighteen, yet I still don't have the skills I should have by this age. I also struggle with heavy identity issues and memory loss. It has caused me to be confused in myself and about the people around me, it even causes confusion in the people around me too. My personality disorder weighs me down every day, it causes me to see the people I love in a completely different light. My anxiety disorder is drowning, it has caused a halt in my social skills and friendships. It has made me too afraid to go outside around people. I have very destructive behaviors I just can't seem to get out of. And my recovery doesn't feel like recovery, it feels like I'm just not ready yet. I'm not walking forward on a treadmill—I'm running up the steepest and tallest mountain. There are people in my life can't grasp the mental trauma I'm dealing with, ones who even go so far to deny the severity of it. And for the people who DO understand that what I deal with is distressing; they have their own struggles. I often feel alone. There are other disorders I have outside of the ones I specified, I haven't said them outright because I don't feel the need to. I just explained some bits from some of the ones I have. I never expected the first time(?) I open up more about my mental health like this would be on a My Little Pony forum pfft. I'm very grateful people here seem to be open to this discussion. ^^ Like some others have said, I'm willing to answer any questions anyone has so feel free to ask. And keep doing what you can to support mentally ill/disabled individuals!

I love fim so much I've rewatched it so many times—My Little Pony is a huge comfort for me. I don't think I could ever drop my interest in it I agree. Assigning tv shows (or anything for that matter) a gender is just so pointless and really closed minded of people. It only forces gender roles on people who just want to enjoy what they like. While mlp IS a pastel pony show, anyone can like pastel ponies. It's extremely silly for haters to think otherwise lmao
