Thinking about the mirror
How much it scares the voice. How the Narrator can’t see it
Thinking about self-reflection
How scary it can be, to pick yourself apart and look at all your pieces individually. How necessary it is, if you want to know yourself
How to reflect, you need to be able to percieve. An Echo can’t perceive
How once you touch it, it’s just You and Her, on top of the cabin. Reflecting your own pieces at each other. Getting to know each other
It’s calm. It’s peaceful. Both your minds are quieter. You can rest, you can reflect
Just You and Her. Two being that only came into existence. Two beings that barely know themselves or each other. Two beings that recognized themselves on each other
The current route ended. You saw yourself; you’ve grown, you decayed, you unraveled, you became nothing at all
Time to reflect
#is this anything?#slay the princess#stp meta#sal writes#sal rambles#< it’s a bit of both#the long quiet#the shifting mound#the narrator#the moments in-between routes with Shifty makes me so insane y’all#I’m constantly chewing on the#*them

it is. VERY weird having two wildly different current interests both battling for hyperfixation status. lotr and sonic the hedgehog. what’s happening
#I’m scared.#the dissonance makes me feel hysterical whenever I jump back and forth like it’s so funny but HELP#autadhd is funny until the double dose of hyperfixation and need to have something to chew on mentally constantly hits

I wonder what it’s like to be able to kick a habit quickly and easily. I had to do four different things in order to stop biting my nails and I still occasionally fuck up (only when I break a nail but still)
#thing 1 was probably the most effective. it was bad tasting nail polish#i applied it RELIGIOUSLY morning and night so that if it came off in the shower or through handwashing; it was going right back on#after the first week i would say the urge died down but i did keep going for 3 weeks total#thing 2 was making my nails look nice to keep me from wanting to pick at them#the bad tasting polish helped because it gave them a shine and meant they started to grow and repair because they weren’t being bitten#i also started using jojoba oil on my cuticles#i still do this. and i usually have my nails painted to protect them and keep them looking nice#thing 3 was chewing gum all the time because i figured if there’s something else in my mouth; i can’t bite my nails#i picked sugar free strawberry gum because it tastes nice and the flavour lasts a surprisingly long time#so i would fidget with the gum instead of fidgeting by biting my nails#i still occasionally do this#thing 4 was knitting or crocheting constantly to occupy my hands#i still do this. i’m literally looking around for things to make#i’m so envious of the people who can do it with just pure willpower. i am NOT built like that#show me a jagged fingernail and there’d better be a nail file extremely close by or i’m biting it off. STILL#i cracked my thumbnail earlier and had to drop everything i was doing and run downstairs to clip it#and people wonder why i don’t smoke or drink. BABE. if i start something i never stop#i’m going to try to give up impulse buying next year and i already know it’s going to be a bloodbath#i’m probably going to have to cancel my credit card and buy a nokia brick#or like move somewhere i can’t receive packages. tbh#personal

Can anyone recommend a good brand of grippy sock/tight slipper? No; not for that reason. I’m kinda eh mentally but not necessarily in crisis (yet)…
The fake hardwood floors in this apartment are literal sensory hell to walk on. I can’t take my socks off and walk barefoot on them for two seconds without getting the worst fucking joint cramps in my hands and feet I’ve ever felt in my life. It’s like insta-gout, just add naked toes; but I don’t actually have gout (thank god)… it’s SOLELY from the texture of the floor. I’ve been wearing the same vampire bat socks for four days because I can’t bear to remove them unless my feet have been soaked in hot water before.
Also, the vampire bat socks for your amusement because the little guy is cute:
#sensory processing disorder#I’ve never used that label before but I’m just gonna call it for what it is. I rub wire sanding discs and steel scourers like worry stones#and run the back of my nails on the walls when I walk down hallways despite it being a very bad example for the children#I chew on my hands and scratch my face and neck constantly. I grind my nails into my fingertips.#I constantly touched little old ladies’ fancy clothes and jewelry and played with babies’ fingernails as a kid#I have to touch everything within arm’s reach at the store to test it for quality even if I don’t want it#I don’t like turning on air vents for the bathroom and kitchen or playing certain instruments because they’re too loud#I flick my nails and wring my hands and sniff random items and purposefully eat bland foods so I can feel the texture better#I’ve taken home fresh dinner rolls from the buffet and used them as slow-rising stress balls for two hours before eating them#and I thought walking up a shag carpet staircase in bare feet was a bad texture#These floors are downright SADISTIC#ugh ugh ugh when I get a real house there will only be ceramic tile on the floors#yes in the bedrooms as well. I don’t care. Freeze your feet off.

my bestfriend cussing me out in the gc bc she thinks i want her man was the most devastating event of my night. especially after i do all that i can for her and she still thinks i want her man ?? especially after i told her i was really interested in someone right now 💀💀
and my boss talking shit abt me w her ?? girl bye.
#there isn’t a thing i don’t do for that girl#her dad didn’t go to her graduation so i did#i brought her favorite flowers#got chewed out for staying out too long#brought her mom w me bc she didn’t have a ride#pick up her calls every time she called no matter how busy i was#reassuring her in her relationship constantly whenever she needed it#supporting her throughout her journey at the gym#telling her she’s one of the most beautiful ppl i’ve seen#every single fucking day#but no. LOL.#she’s always picking at my personality and how i’m a bad person#i don’t do well in relationships bc it’s fucking hard to love someone after being hurt before#so all my relationships since that one relationship#i have screwed up tremendously because i don’t know how to handle it#i have a difficult time having healthy relationships#and she will come at me and say#‘why are you proud of being toxic?’#i never said that.#i’m proud of being confident and not letting men get to me#but i’m not proud of my inability to handle a healthy relationship#it’s genuinely hard for me and i really don’t know how to fix my habits#i try my best and do what’s right but it always falls short#and she sees that as me being a bad person#and then last night she told me#‘go worry about fixing that toxic ass personality of yours#like ok.#i’d never in a million years take your personal issues and use them against you#but thanks#good to know.

I drew my cat for fun!! Do not be fooled this is a monster that sits atop her plastic water bottle casing chair like an evil villain and will chew on cords till they look like fuzzy caterpillars.
#myart#cats of tumblr#She is constantly photogenic and I have yet to take a silly picture of her because she is incapable of that#She chews on plastic for fun#And I’m not kidding about the throne

“R+ training business owners learn to apply their training philosophy to their staff” challenge
#I’m a year in to this job and it’s becoming toxic at#basically I feel like a dog that only ever gets corrected and I’m starting to shut down#I honestly feel like I can do nothing right anymore#and it’s not me! I swear it’s not me!#I feel sort of cursed because this is my second job in this industry to turn completely toxic#so I can understand the urge to go- maybe it IS you?#but it’s not!#I work really fucking hard! I make mistakes but I try! I’m constantly trying to apply the feedback and improve#but no matter what I do all I get is criticism#like today I was chewed out for overlooking some stuff the day before#when I pointed out that I’d worked 30mins overtime trying to get everything done I was basically blamed for the overtime in the first place#it’s completely untenable#I’m going to try talking to my boss next week and we’ll see what happens#but I’m not optimistic at this point#which sucks because I really wanted this to work#I really admire my boss and I wanted their approval very badly#but now I’m coming to terms that I may never get it

gonna write an autobiography called ‘i’m not a vegetarian i just think you’re a bad cook’
#people assume that about me all the time and i’m just trying not to be rude about it but like…#man maybe if the meat wasn’t either 90% chewy fat or woefully undercooked i’d eat it idk#i don’t know how other people’s stomach lining can handle anything less than at least medium. i usually go for medium well#i will be horribly sick if i get the nasty half raw stuff people try to give me#like some pink is fine but so much of the time it really does look lowkey raw and others are just fine with that?#they think i’m crazy for wanting ‘shoe leather’ like dude sorry i can’t eat it fresh off the cow the way you can#and for goodness’s sake why does having to chew a single bite for like a minute appeal to people#or having to pick stuff out of your mouth constantly. man i do my best to get stuff off while cutting it but like#sometimes you barely can sometimes you’d end up losing the whole thing#i like meat but legit there are so many cases where it isn’t worth the risk to me#like so much of it is nasty or suspect#i just usually opt for vegetarian options when i’m not confident in the quality of the meat bc it’s just much easier that way#i don’t care if i have high snob standards#america’s meat-heavy culture is something i much dislike#peach rambles

I know this isn’t much, but I’ve been watching a lot of videos on how to do digital detoxing/serotonin detox and man, I feel so much more productive with my time.
It’s even harder bc I go to an online school and there’s a good amount of work that I have to do for it and I get distracted so so easily.
I do think something that has helped me tremendously was putting my phone in black and white, it’s makes everything like 75% or so more unappealing
Like, I’ve been depressed a lot, but I also realized rotting in bed aimlessly scrolling for like, a third of my day or like any crumb of free time I have was amplifying my misery.
One guys video was talking about how tech/social media addiction isn’t even something you’d pay for and I think about that a lot, like he mentioned gambling addiction drives people to spend everything on casinos, alcoholics do everything to just get more alcohol, etc, and I’m like yeah, you don’t even get a brief moment of satisfaction, you just kind of feel like you wasted your entire day if anything, but man I do think reducing my online presence in general was the best thing I’ve done for my mental health in years.
I know I still go on tumblr and other things but this is such a huge fraction of what I used to be like. My main goal for 2024 is to finish school, get a job in tech (in school rn for a bunch of IT certs 😪), and just to move out of my parents place (I don’t think I can fix any of my mental issues while still living at home). And I do think my goals are attainable if I work hard enough.
Anyways, if you’ve read all of this, or even if you didn’t, just know I’m rooting for you as well. We all have personal struggles, it’s just how you handle and navigate them. I want what’s best for you and myself 🤝
#it’s funny bc I stopped using tiktok bc it’s all ads now#i genuinely used to be pretty bad#being disciplined is so fucking hard it makes me want to chew on glass but also I really needed this#honestly even if I don’t do any of my 2024 goals I really just want to finish school#I’m in this accelerated program and I quit my job to finish it quicker but man it’s so hard to just study constantly 24/7#ig is hard bc it’s like all my group chats are on it#personal#trying to manifest this shit so hard I’m tired of being miserable

i sometimes think that in spite of my mental stuff i have a very good handle on myself and especially my impulsivity and then i look at how i consume media
#marzi speaks#for the past few months i have looked at nothing new. none of the things i love took up a huge space in my mind#earlier this week i decided i was gonna start listening to wtnv again#i also decided i was finally ready to watch qsmp#so i am now doing both. at the same time#my desire to create has come back with a vengeance as well. i do not normally make 2 pieces in a week#and now i’m brainstorming on a 3rd!#my strat has been watch as much qsmp as possible while doodling to maintain attention span#then work on whatever art i want to make and use wtnv as background noise#i have gone from Nothing to Turbo mode#why? i legit think it’s the anxiety. also maybe the adhd i still think i might have#i’ve been busy all summer and thinking abt college bc i move out in like 7 days#so i haven’t had brain capacity for this stuff#now though? with it so close? i’m antsy#i’m restless constantly. i don’t even wanna go to bed i wanna Do Something (nothing to do)#so i’m giving my brain as much to chew on as physically possible so it can not panic about a maior milestone in my life lmao#it’s working! it’s enough for my brain to juggle so i don’t get bored and start Thinking too much#but damn. funny how this little mind works#sometimes i do not feel fully in control lmao. i usually do but sometimes#escapism. my true vice <3. i could never hate you but damn. like damn dude

Is it normal to be so obsessed with the idea of being a good or I guess even unproblematic person, to the point where you’re nit-picking every single little thing you say or do and feel like shit about yourself for not always fitting your own idea of being a “perfect” person? …what do you mean “no”?
#like there has to be a term for this 😭#I feel like I’ve become so self-aware that I’m ruining my own life with it#it’s for the dumbest shit too. oh I didn’t make eye contact with someone I passed by on the sidewalk??#well clearly I’m a rude absolute bitch and they hate me now and I have no manners#I don’t think this makes sense#I’ll think in terms of what I wrote in my post about other people too not just myself#like sometimes I’ll start to think someone’s not a good person over like one thing they’ve said or done#and applied it to other scenarios like ‘oh well if they were willing to say/do this then they would do xyz too’#…or like ‘if they’re willing to say/do this then they’re probably even meaner in their head or with people other than me’ you know#I’ve done and said things I’m not proud of so many times just like EVERYONE ELSE#but for some reason my brain will just not let it go and I always think I’m a terrible person and a disappointment#but then on the other hand I’ll think oh well I can’t be that bad if I’m always calculating how I react to things#and am actually bothering to think critically about it#I feel like there’s so little goodness in the world and I try to be a nice person but I feel like a fake and that I’m not really one#can’t even stand up for myself or make a joke without constantly chewing myself out#gets tiring but I’ve thought like this for a while now#well that’s my writing goal for the week done#personal#txt

I don’t have the ‘lock your doors six times every night’ type of undiagnosed mental illness, I have the ‘YOUR TEETH ARE FALLING OUT! YOUR TEETH ARE FALLING OUT! YOUR TEETH ARE FALLING OUT! YOUR TEETH ARE FALLING OUT!!!!” type of undiagnosed mental illness that convinces me every second that I’m alive that my teeth are just slip sliding around, shifting around in my gums, rattling around, ready to eject at any moment
#but the BEST PART is that I’m TERRIFIED OF THE DENTIST#TRULY THE BIGGEST JOKE OF ALL TIME!!!#I go to sleep#I dream that my teeth are falling out#almost every single night#I wake and check my teeth 10 times#brush teeth#feel slight relief#constantly ‘check’ for looseness with my tongue throughout the day#constantly pressing my tongue against my teeth#(YES I KNOW IT IS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO PUSH AGAINST MY TEETH ALL DAY EVERY DAY)#constantly checking my teeth in the mirror and in my phone camera#consider making dentist appt#petrified with fear that the dentist will shift my teeth#panic attack#check and/or brush teeth again#panic about my enamel#panic about cavities#only chew with one side of my mouth despite knowing that’s wrong to do#only eat soft foods#vent#teeth#dental tw#teeth tw#hypochondria#hypochondria tw#IDK I HOPE THIS DIDNT SEND ANYONE INTO A SPIRAL I SINCERELY SPIRal ABOUT THIS EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE#NO IVE NEVER BEEN TO THE DENTIST#couldn’t afford it as a kid can’t afford it now#wondering if I’m alone in this

If u are autistic and are thinking about having a roommate in college- don’t 🫶🫶.
I’m constantly having sensory issues lol. I’m most definitely living by myself next year.
#college#college roomate#roomate#autism#autistic problems#sensory overload#why do you constantly have your bright ass LED light on please turn it off I’m begging you#also I can’t stand the sound of chewing#I’m usually a confrontational person but when it comes to someone I live with I am suddenly spineless.
