#“you're just anxious and depressed”

[original-punks]

Living through PTSD can be an overwhelming, frightening, isolating, and debilitating experience.

If you are experiencing PTSD, you may feel intensely fearful, jumpy, and on edge. You may have trouble sleeping and experience bad dreams. Your appetite may increase or decrease. You may stop wanting to be around your friends, lose trust in people you previously trusted, and start labelling people either “good” or “bad” in your head.

You may feel that your world has fallen apart, that everything is black, and that nothing makes sense. Worse still, you can often lose hope or the belief that you can recover and lead a worthwhile life.

Remember: The burning sensation is part of the process.

Do you know a funny idea I had? Luigi, king penguin, the penguins and lumalee escaping from prison and defeating Bowser, I think they would be very capable of doing it without help XD

Ok, I take back everything I said about the penguins, I'd die for them all.

Hello i may post less on tumblr, you can follow my bluesky for more art and oc yapping https://bsky.app/profile/cyellolemon.bsky.social

The reason being that posting here makes me sad!!! Having less and less notes on my oc art makes me a bit depressed, i feel like most people here follow me for fanart, when i post 99% of ocs and i don't like that, so yeah i want to try caring about that less so im gonna post less. Bluesky art community is super supportive with ocs and made me enjoy posting art again so for now it's my main and i'll focus on it!

I think it's a hatecrime against me that there aren't any slugs as big as the giant African snail. Why do the snails get to have all the fun I just want a giant slime noodle.

Vader senses the Anxiety of an Anxious Person

So, I was at Hollywood Studios in Disney World on July 21st, and I did some character photos with Chewie, Darth Vader, Frozone, Edna Mode. The most hilarious interaction was with Vader.

As in the title, Vader mentions he “senses high levels of anxiety” coming from me, and my immediate first thought was “that’s because I have anxiety”

And me being me, I had an absolute blast with that. Like, thinking “you sense the anxiety of an anxious person, congrats! Would you like a gold star?!” And it obviously still amuses me.

After mentioning that, he asks if I was hiding a rebel informant. I wasn’t (in fact, my brain said “Hah! I AM the rebel informant”) and that it would be a shame if they found something that would bring me back into suspicion (lol, why give the anxious person more anxiety? something else could be happening right under your nose and you’d be none the wiser, because all your efforts go to the one with anxiety.)

Sorry not sorry. This was way too much fun.

at least now i've gone through an important tumblr rite of passage, watching a longtime mutual become a radfem :/

i was so happy doing that horticulture training in 2021. I was so optimistic about finding fulfilling working in a nursery, or gardening, or even working in a more research/conservation kind of role.

and then it ended and no one, not even industry veterans, could tell me where to go from there. Job listings overwhelmingly require that you already be experienced. Entry level positions are typically for physically intensive work like landscaping (not what I want). If you try to cold call potential employers they're only interested if you know someone else in the industry (and preferably someone the employer personally knows).

To make things even worse, people can't even tell me what sorts of keywords to use when searching. Looking under generic titles only goes so far.

save yourself i'll hold them back makes me feel emotions previously only known by shrimp

bro I'm not doing good I need to have some shivering isles thoughts about it or something

[hazbinbabbling4ever]

It's immoral to call people having no strength to "care enough" about at least 3 causes immoral. Wtf.

I am actually begging some people to just let some spaces exist untouched by real-world issues and horrors.

Like I've lost count of the amount of times peaceful game or fandom servers have been ruined by people stampeding in with political rants, bitching about world issues, demanding internal activism, demanding vent channels so they can whine about their shitty parents, ect.

Like. Respectfully. Not every single space has to be inclusive of and welcoming of outside topics. The real world sucks. We don't needed to be reminded of that absolutely everywhere.

best thing about my psyche ward experience was telling the aprn that the reason i checked myself in was because of the invisible people trying to get me to kill myself and the look of fear in her eyes lmfao

Remember guys, your friends are cool with you raging against CEOs and corporations as long as it isn't when you speak out against generative AI! Then you're the problem and can't take a joke!
