I liken having CFS to being a cat

Why? For many reasons. 

Cats can sleep up to 18 hours a day. Crazy right? But it does sound like us doesn’t it? Many CFS sufferers need much more sleep than the average Joe. Our feline friends sleep lengthy periods to conserve/replenish their energy in order to make the most out of their time awake and being physically active. They take naps throughout the day and hey, so do I! 

During my times of having bad mental health, I would visit a counsellor to assist in getting back on top of things. And every single time I did, one of the guidelines they always gave me was to reserve naps for the bedroom and the bedroom only. The reason behind this was to get the brain to associate the bedroom and bed with sleep, as this would make it easier to sleep when it was time to sleep. While I understood the intention behind this, I never really enjoyed this, and I have really begun to embrace the opposite in the past year. 

Just like my cat Milly, I have multiple “nap spots” throughout the house, with the main three being the couch, a bean bag, and a xl sized dog bed (yes really. I will explain more later!) I have found that in my own personal experience, I tend to get more out of my naps if I have different “scenery” than the plain old bedroom walls. For me, its much like an adventure to nap somewhere different. It reminds me of camping, a pastime that I enjoyed thoroughly before the days of CFS. Laying on the couch reminds me of the small mattresses used while camping and instantly put me to sleep. 

On sunny days, I love my dog bed combined with my bean bag for naps! Both items conform to the shape of my body and make for an amazingly comfortable casual nap. I can position myself to be half sitting up, and quite often will do work on my laptop there. On days where the sun makes an appearance, my makeshift napping spot really soaks up the heat and I can get much-needed vitamin D without being active. If you are like me and really suffer with bright lights, I do wear an eye mask while napping in the sun. I also find it helpful to practice mindfulness as it helps me to focus on the feeling of the warmth on my skin. 

If you have ever owned a cat, they have random outbursts of energy which we sometimes call “crazy time” or “zoomies,” to which afterwards they either rest, or go into a deep sleep. I can further break this down into two distinct types; kittens (CFS sufferers that have yet to learn pacing) and adult cats (CFS sufferers who have learnt to pace themselves) 

Adult cats tend to have zoomies just long enough to the point that they can rest and regain lost energy appropriately, whereas kittens go nuts and expend all their energy, then will fall into a sleep coma from exhaustion. Learning to pace is part of the growing experience, but sometimes we all fall back into kittenhood and then need to rest excessively. Its okay to be a kitten, but we just need to learn how to be a kitten without spending all of our limited energy! 

Cats live sedentary lives a majority of the time, only spending enough of their energy to complete the necessary tasks. I feel like this is really relatable to us and our limited energy capacity. 90% of the time, adult cats will not push themselves past their energy threshold unless they really need to, for instance in times of stress or danger. I know in times of stress I have definitely pushed myself past my energy threshold in the attempt to rectify the stress inducing factor (e.g., chores that need to be completed by a certain day, to submit an essay that is due, prolonged social interaction etc), and this has come back to bite me in the ass. While it seems like the complete opposite thing to do, I need to be as zen as a cat in the sun when it comes to stressful life events – take things at my own pace and know when a good rest in the sun is needed! 

Adult cats have learnt the art of pacing and I should really take a note out of their book, even if I do let my kitten side show every now and then. Thank you to our feline friends for showing us the way, and we have much more to learn from you!

Back but not really

I’ll just be liking posts from others and reblogging what I might want to look back at later over here Ignore any old shit from the MMDC if you ever bother to go through my blog, I’m almost 20 by now and quite a different person. I did delete some posts due to me no longer agreeing with what I once said as a 14 year old when I was in a really bad mental state.

(Yes, I did go considerably out of hand at times when I was at low places because I no longer saw the problem with the consequence at that age)

Basically about me now, I’m in uni, doing quite well, in a better mental state then 5-6 years ago, learned from many mistakes, getting somewhere in life

I also wanted to make a human version for this sunshine boy! ☀✨💛

Maybe I'll make other expressions before but... The moon will rise soon~ 🌙✨

On twitter I post things first, consider stopping by sometime~

Stuff kids on tumblr better relearn

1. You are responsible for your own media experience. 

2. There is such a thing as a healthy level of avoidance towards topics that make you feel unwell or even (in a real-life clinical definition of the term) trigger you - but you are the one to actively take care of what you view.

3. Avoiding does not mean policing others.

4. You have no right to tell artists to censor themselves - you may criticize what others do, you may dislike it, that’s fine - but actively asking for censorship when you could easily unfollow or block a person just makes you look incompetent in your use of the internet.

5. Do not give people on tumblr or /any/ website the responsibility for your emotional well-being. Because these people do not even know you so no, you have no right to ask them to take care of you.

Kiryu: Kachoufuugetsu (English)

Song: 花鳥風月/Kachoufuugetsu (The Beauty of Nature) Artist: 己龍/Kiryu Music: Kujou Takemasa Lyrics: Sakai Mitsuki Translation: J!L

Please do not use my translation. Do not post it to other websites or use it in your own translations from English to other languages. Linking to this translation is fine.

It feels as though my skull is burning from the inside I’m beginning to enjoy the tingling sensation I’ll risk my peace for even a moment of pleasure Even the beautiful girl who turns to look back finds her head twisted off

As time passes, flowers change form as they are reborn As time passes for people, it’s much the same

It’s maddening agony

In the warped beauty of nature, the difference between happiness and unhappiness is as thin as paper Will my head fall or will I be allowed to shine brightly? The flowers rub together against each other in a game of momentary happiness and sadness Life and death and everything in between for people as much the same, are they not?

Let us give water to the parched flowers

It feels as though the inside of my skull has been burned black I can’t find any trace of my innocence left Those who hang and those who laugh at them Even the beautiful girl who turns to look back finds the skin of her face torn off in much the same way

In the rotten beauty of nature, the season has passed I lose sight of the overlapping flowers but my fingers become lost in them The flowers rub together against each other in joy and sorrow and it hurts, it hurts Life and death and everything in between is a grand comedy

The broken beauty of nature will never be the way it once was People lick their lips foolishly at this life But you want to dream, don’t you? Until it overtakes reality How far will you continue to cheat people to achieve it?

Let us give water to this parched life

Adding on to this, I also feel tired of being inside all day for weeks now. Though last week I figured out I enjoy making sweets/treats by just randomly trying some stuff in the kitchen, and all of the sudden I have all sorts of baking plans right now. My tip is to try something you normally never do, and maybe you figure out a new hobby!

Y'all... Stay inside! Just because the stay at home restrictions are being lifted does not make it safe. Positive test results are rising, all the while people are gathering at beaches and bodies of water, as well as other places with huge gatherings- all without masks, gloves, and ignoring social distancing. The local beach was packed with people shoulder-to-shoulder.

Don't go out unless absolutely necessary. There are people, including myself in my familyn who's health problems put them at high risk for contracting covid if they come in contact with any person at all. Keep them in mind, wear your mask and gloves, and stay 6 feet apart. Otherwise, you are contributing to sickness, death, and might even catch it yourself. Use those smarts that are supposedly in your head, and stay home unless absolutely necessary. Order your food, get curbside to go, door dash, uber eats... Order things through amazon, walmart, giant, or your preffered store for groceries and necessities. Need to socialize? That's why you're on tumblr, isn't it? There's also instagram, twitter, snapchat, skype, etc. Have to go out? Wear gloves and a mask and stay 6 feet apart. More people are going to get sick and die because people are tired of being stuck at home. Not only that will happen, but recovery time and quarantine time will last longer. It will take longer to lift restrictions because these people refuse to keep their buts in their recliners or keep productive AT HOME. There are things around the house you can do. You can even go do shit in your backyards, or bike around the block (with at least a mask). Think of your own and others' health. Just because restrictions are lifted does not mean it is safe for anyone.

If you won't listen to me, listen to him...
