they won't tell you this in therapy but sometimes the best way to stop catastrophizing/anxiety is to interrupt your spiraling with "girl what the hell are you talking about"

“don’t let me turn into this” she says, holding the corrupted soul of her best friend

Wow

The amount of people who are confused about why Millie is freaking out about falling pregnant REALLY reminds me how young a lot of y'all are

Just because you're happily married for years doesn't mean pregnancy is something to be excited about

Like I can come up with several reasons why Millie might be freaking out right now hold on lemme see:

- they are imps, living in a shitty apartment barely making ends meet, therefore they can't afford a baby

- Millie comes from a HUGE family and has baggage attached to that

- Millie has possibly suffered a miscarriage in the past and has trauma attached to pregnancy

- Millie knows this will make it difficult or even impossible to work at imp, both because it's a risk to the fetus, but even after birth it's a dangerous job they are risking their lives on the daily

- She might just not want to have kids, and knows that Moxxie probably does, and the conflict is as simple as that

- She might not really know if she wants this or not, but MORE than that just being pregnant is TERRIFYING. Your body is rapidly changing and that alone is so scary.

Like I know it's mostly young people and cis guys who are confused about this but I promise this is a VERY common response to finding out you're pregnant, no matter HOW long you've been in a committed, stable relationship.

Here's a gifted kid burnout secret:

"Just Do Your Best" doesn't mean "Give it all you've got every time" it means "Do what you have the energy for at any given time."

As former gifted kids, we know our best is frankly awesome. But our best in any one instance takes a LOT of energy. We can't do that every time. That's for the big projects, yeah? Nobody is expecting a science fair project out of us when the assignment is just to fill out this worksheet.

Life is like that. Doing our best in the everyday sense is not at all the same as doing our best in the pulling off an awesome grand deed sense. Conflating them is a fast track to burnout.

Growing up with school, we get used to the idea that 50% is an F, and forget that it's a lot easier to shore up that 50% F than the 0% F, if we need a C later. But we also forget that what we think will be 50%, because it feels like it's half of what we ourselves can do, when graded on the curve of what is actually expected from us, is usually more like 75%. So we get that C up front, which is good enough for most purposes.

So, if you're like me, and you're anticipating only being able to do a half-assed job, you think the emotional equivalent of "Why bother when I'll just get an F?"

The answer is "Because you'll actually get a C, and you can't get an A later without it."

Well, okay. The answer is actually:

"You're worth as much effort as you can do, regardless of how much effort you think you should be able to do."

But if you're anything like me, you have to work up to that one.
