Do you guys ever get that feeling where nothing is exciting anymore?

Like, the holidays just seem like another day.

My 16th birthday that I had been looking forward to forever was just a school day.

New episodes of my favorite show don’t get me pumped anymore.

Everything is kind of dull and I can’t really like anything anymore.

this, ladies and gentlemen, is a top-notch sign of depression. this is not supposed to be a normal thing to feel.

Other sings of depressions can be:

No hunger. Like, you eat because of the pleasure of it or because you have to, but you aren’t hungry anymore.

Procastrination, even of things you like.

Feeling no sympathy for anything. You begin to question if you love something or someone at all.

Feeling like you are in a dream (depersonalization)

Having trouble sleeping. It can be nightmares, it can be difficulties falling asleep, difficulties waking up, waking up in the middle of the night, etc.

Being really tired without reason.

Intrusive thoughts (that may say that your family doesn’t love you, or that what you are feeling is completely normal, for example. It’s never true)

Not caring about your own security anymore, not because you want to die (most of the depressed people don’t want to commit suicide) but because you just forget it. You forget to look both ways before crossing, wearing your seatbelt or even you can forget about eating.

Desire of isolation. You just want to be alone, and anyone feels like a friend anymore.

Trouble focusing on things.

What percentage is okay to call yourself Poc? I’m 20% Native American but idk if I have the right to call myself poc bc I’ve always been white passing and I have all the privileges of being seen as white… I was raised without the culture of my grandfather’s tribe. I actually only recently discovered my heritage. I just don’t know if I have the right to call myself Poc, what do you think?

Well I’m not a native american or poc so I don’t really feel qualified or able to answer this, honestly, but maybe a follower has an idea?

I can answer this! Kind of.

And by kind of, I mean that it’s very complicated and ultimately subjective. Even after all this explanation there may be opinions that will say otherwise. I just hope that I can give you my two cents and that I can help you find an answer. I myself am half Native American (Iroquois Mohawk, to be specific) and half white. And while I grew up in a family that was doing its best to conform to white culture (Christian practices, white foods, an entire half of my family that had no idea Mohawk was anything other than a hairstyle, etc.) my siblings and I were also doing our best to learn about a culture that was just as much a part of us as the white part. We learned the Mohawk language from our grandmother and each have a Iroquois name, and every time I visit Akwesasne, our local reservation, the most nostalgic feeling wells up inside me and I’m a little kid all over again. 

These experiences that I’ve had, however, don’t sound much like what you’ve experienced. And while I hate to be the bearer of bad news there’s much more to a race than blood; it’s also how you’ve been raised and what you’ve experienced. It sounds to me like you haven’t had much exposure at all to that tribe’s culture and just know the percentage of it in you. I’m 50% Mohawk, 25% Irish, and 25% German. I’ve never experienced Irish or German culture, so it would be wrong of me to claim that I was either of those races simply due to my heritage.

But that can’t stop you from learning about your culture! I can almost guarantee you that, whatever tribe you are, it’s going extinct and its culture is in jeopardy. There’s no harm in learning about different cultures, just be respectful and know that culture is a sensitive and complex thing! c:

Your Inquisitor is probably pals with Dorian. Good old Dorian, always ready with the right answer, nose in a book night and day, drinks hard and sings to himself while he shaves.

But the average no-good asshole startin’ some shit along the side of the road only sees HOLY SHIT DID THAT GUY JUST RAISE UP A SKELETON SQUAD and poops their pants.

Pretty Pretty Pavus is scary.

Hi so please vote Hillary so trans people can stay on hormones and go to the bathroom.

It would be nice if you could save your shows of write-in candidate bravado for a year when trans people aren’t being openly attacked and attacks on them literally aren’t part of the Republican platform.

I mean Bernie gave Hillary his endorsement and if he’s obviously gonna vote for her and not himself or a third party I think it’s time to vote for Hillary to not wreck a bunch of people’s lives for the sake of a spiteful political gesture.

This trans person says thanks.

Also, please vote for the 469 congress seats opening this year! As a friend pointed out, if you want to see real change, you have to stop focusing on the parlor politics. Vote Bernie for Speaker of the House. Vote Dems into congress. Vote progress past the White House, so we can actually make good things happen in this country instead of getting blocked every time there is a progressive idea brought up.
