I think the only reason I slept yesterday was cause I was so exhausted from the hospital, because there just no way I'm sleeping tonight

#I'm too worried/scared to sleep #I keep hearing my mom's scream when he fell in my head over and over again and it's a fucking nightmare #I don't think this will turn into a life altering trauma like our accident in 2017 did #because recovery is faster and I have the fact that I'm so so grateful he's alive and without head damage to counter act #but it was still one of the scariest moments in my life and I'd like to erase all of it from my head thank you very much #also fun fact he got temporary amnesia for like 24 hours after the fall. he couldn't retain his memory for 30 seconds #which is why we were so fucking scared of it being a head injury #but in the end it was just out of sheer shock and trauma #which is just horrifying. I've never seen my dad express a single emotion #so you can imagine how it fucks me up that he had an actual neurological reaction to a traumatic event right in front of me #like wtf. don't recommend this to anyone who has loved ones #rambles*

#ok finally making a post about meds #I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset #so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but #it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways #so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone #like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus #my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night #sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired #it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted #but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too #but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared #so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow #anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING #that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up #I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world #and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on #and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

I just need to be told "You Can Do It" right now.

#I've gotten about 3 hours of sleep within the last 48 hours and I'm still behind in my classes #I don't know how I'm supposed to keep up at this point #Just grinding constantly for hours every waking moment of my life #I'm stuck wondering the same things #'When will it slow down?'... 'Will it actually ever slow down?'#If it doesn't i don't think i can keep up #Full time in college and full time in work #However #every time i try to speak my troubles or stress to someone they just chuckle #and ignore me saying ''well college is like that. welcome to the adult world''#Why does college have to be like this? why is everyone so fine with this?#I'm very unmotivated right now #My grades are all low despite the numerous 100%s I've been getting #And they're not going back up no matter how many A+ s I get on assignments #I don't like talking to people - it scares me terribly #So i don't like it when I'm constantly forced to talk to over 10 people every time i go to school (talk to your professor they say #I like to think of my job at my second home #at least that's not too hard and i love the people #But I just need things to get less intense school-wise #Just for me to get a decent amount of sleep please #Just a little bit #Please #i don't know #I'm not going on hiatus no worries #I love my blog dearly and cannot abandon it for my mental health #I just need encouragement #Because I'm so tired #Sorry for the rant I hate to vent #I'll delete this later if i remember #💬

sorry for disappearing. I promised I wouldn't do that again but it's always the thing I fall back on in desperate times. idk how to stop doing that

I'm just so tired and in pain, I wanna lay down and cry and never get back up again

#wish i could cry. as it is the tears are pressing on my eyes but cannot come out. it hurts. i wish it wouldn't hurt #all i can do is sleep as much as i can whenever i can. no other way to escape it all #trying to plan my mental illness breakdown around my work hours so my coworkers don't have to worry #i actually like being at work and putting on a smile and acting bright and bubbly comes to me so easily #but i feel the tiredness creeping in. making work a bit more difficult and i don't like that #my brain is starting to merge dreams and reality in a way that hard to tell apart #it's also whispering evil things into my ear. like: you're not mentally ill there's no official diagnosis so better be sane and normal #or: you're making it all up. stop with that. just be normal. <- about literally every single thing #<- like me dealing with depression and anxiety and probably no small amount of trauma and gender dysphoria? NOT REAL according to my brain #which is. idk i KNOW i struggle with all of these things and there have been suspicion diagnoses #but no actual 100% confirmed diagnoses and that fact is fueling my brain in whispering these mean things to me #and i'm just so very very tired of it all... i don't want to fight anymore but i'm also too scared to take any kind of final action #sorry...#delete later

Tonight, right now, not even ten minutes ago, might have been the closest I got to an outright hatecrime

#morningtalks #Ask to tag #<- I have no clue what I'd have to tag this tbh #But for the story.#Me and my friend (crush) are walking at two am after quite the night. I am fully sober but she's got a few drinks and is just tired now #Like we're walking in silence she's just done type of tired #(part of me worries I was too in love with her tonight but I will do my best to rationalize it as Her Being Tired and not my fault somehow)#But yeah we're walking there and we see/hear a bunch of guys that are clearly not on their first drink #They plan to go to the bar we were so I'm glad we left but they are full on far right singing slogans about getting the leftists out #We cross each other on the street and they immediately begin asking us if we're lefties but then they see my pins #And the fact that we're two girls walking alone and assume we're both lesbians #Ify I obviously am. I have Pins lmao but my crush is not (?)#But yeah I had heard their slogans from afar and had already grabbed my scissors discretely in case something happened #I was genuinely just getting myself ready to fight them all just to leave my friend a chance to run if possible #But I was genuinely scared for her (and also for me but I have a bad habit of prioritizing others' wellbeing and especially here)#So they think we're lesbians and immediately start yelling they don't like lesbians and some other hurtful stuff #But it didn't fully enter my brain. I genuinely don't care #But I was still very afraid they DO something #Luckily they just walked away and we were left in peace but I was genuinely ready to do literally anything to not let my friend get hurt #By these men #I might see her a bit tomorrow. Probably not a lot but we'll see each other #And she doesn't seem to mind too much (she thought we'd see each other next week for class obviously and said “til next week”#(translated quite literally))#I thanked her for the evening still but I genuinely think she just needs to sleep and I don't have to overthink everything that happened #In the end #The first hours of the night were AMAZING though. Genuinely never been closer to her than there I adored every second of it #(and the other people were fun too but. She. Yano)#Anyways I have a thing at 11 I'll go sleep before being fully dead for that thing #But I might genuinely have a delayed reaction on those last events tomorrow #But now I gotta sleep too

Me seeing all the comments under Glasto-themed posts blaming Alex for being sick and calling off Dublin

I'm barely able to fold that knife though.... And I'm not trusting myself that it'll stay folded.

#I really have no words for people who lack the basic minimum amounts of sympathy and understanding #and YES IT'S POSSIBLE HIS SYMPTOMS CLEARED UP IN JUST 4 DAYS #am I worried they didn't completely? yes. but they might have. and either way they're Definitely A LOT better after him resting #taking care of himself. possibly getting some meds prescribed. hydrating. not talking. sleeping #What did they want him to do. go out and mime the songs for them?#go up and barely utter some words through the hoarseness - make things worse and call of yhe next month if shows instead?#risk getting actual chronic laryngitis? risk his whole career?#the hell is wrong with people #you've got no idea how scared I was & am for my show that's coming up too. It's like extremely meaningful and important to me #the vision of going helped me through some tougher times #but you know what I'm also scared of?#of one of my favorite artist's getting seriously hurt.#of him beating himself up for disappointing people when there's nothing he can do about it.#can't believe people lack the basic empathy.#i get being disappointed. Sad. Furious even.#be furious with a god if you've got one or the universe or bacteria or the very idea of voice boxes being suspectable to strain #not with the man who's just as frustrated with the situation as you are #AHHHH #(i unfolded the knife safely in the tags. folding it back up)#(I see the typos & I hate em & I'm mad but I won't be doing anything about it. I'm sorry)#//#my posts

Hm... never trust how you feel about your life past 9pm or however that goes and stuff, but sometimes I do be pondering what I do on the regular and it gets to me, the silliest things

#I'm once again getting anxious over putting myself out there in every sense I can think of #Socially. Business-wise. Art-wise #if there is one trait I dislike about myself the most in the past few years—#is that for whatever reason I have a tendency to be way too open about myself and what I feel #it could be annoying. It could be tmi (I dislike that concept). It could scare people off because I'm too forward and I fuck up #I spent a big chunk of my late childhood -> teenage years -> early adulthood putting a tamper on my emotions and what I'm passionate about #and now I'm oscillating between being unable to do otherwise and being thoroughly exhausted of suppressing... anything #I genuinely don't want to do it no more and the problem is that I have no idea how to navigate the opposite end of that conduct #I feel like I'm constantly messing it up. I have no experience but I am so tired and now incapable of masking #more like my body and mind are uncooperative and refuse to keep on putting up an act. It was always a way to support others #but I disregarded myself most of the time. I don't know how to enjoy myself in front of people I love without feeling guilt or shame #I feel like I'm overstepping or being disrespectful. How do you do it #it should come easy #Heh... I'm even embarrassed to voice sincere praise to artists I admire because I never know if what I'm saying could be perceived as —#—cringey or if it makes someone slightly uncomfortable. I'm tired of being clueless about a whole dimension of social interaction #and possibly coming across as inept. I could've sworn for the longest time that I was doing it right #and I can't be sure now #I want to share my work with others but I'm always hesitant and petrified by fear of all the potential ramifications that path could have #There's so much I want to do #why does the world seem so hostile to my eyes I genuinely don't know. It makes no sense. None of that is real #Annnnnd that sure is some venting #Sheesh #Hm. Funny how tumblr keeps on being this perfect void where you can just scream into without a single worry #I should go to sleep

By the way, if you ever see me reblog something that isn't a fic here... no you don't!

#please i'm so worried i'll accidentally do that #like art with a fic is fine #but just art on it's own isn't #unfortunately me using quick reblog on mobile & just not paying attention on my laptop #has led to some small scares #as i desperately delete the thing i accidentally reblogged here #sometimes notifictions will scare me too #i'll see someone's profile picture indicating that they liked something & my brain will go #check if you reblogged art on here by accident #i need to sleep #will this be deleted #maybe #we'll see #not a fic rec #mod sleepy

My dog has been having senior moments, such as randomly forgetting what she's doing or trying to walk into a street, and I've been calling her "Mr. President" when it happens.

Like, "No, Mr. President, we can't walk into oncoming traffic. That's how we get killed!"

#it makes me sad that she's so old. and it's only in the past couple months that she's been doing this.#she's still overall very physically healthy. we go on walks almost every day and as long as she wants to.#and she eats well and takes vitamins and her teeth are kept clean and her claws trimmed and her coat clean #but she's slipping a little mentally #she's 11 which is old as hell for a dog her size. the vet said golden retriever mixes (which is what i assume she is) usually live to 10.#and she's not even started going white too much. just around her snoot and a little on her paws.#so when i take her in the vet always assumes she's like 6 #but I've had this crusty old lady since shortly before i was even legally an adult #and I'm scared for when she does die because my other dog dying damn near made me commit suicide #and like I've said. I've had her a lot longer.#if she were a person she'd be going into middle school. like.#and she's had her share of weird health things. she's had a thyroid issue since she was 4. she has a weird skin condition.#she's had a couple surgeries and has scars from being attacked by random dogs (not my fault. she's well trained)#she's fallen a couple times recently but the vet says that's normal for her age #she went blind then wasn't blind and is going blind again #her hearing is starting to get shit too #I'm just so worried about her. this dog is a person to me. she's more real than my family in my mind.#and my cat is cool and all. but she's not a people. she's just a cat.#i guess the best i can hope for her is she lives the rest of her life comfortably and can die peacefully in her sleep #i think I'd completely come unglued from reality if i lost another dog to surprise everything cancer #but that's what I'm most scared of #because it came on so quickly and no one caught it despite me being that person who takes their dogs to the vet over a cough #she's sleeping right now and making goofy ass dog dream sounds. and i know i won't hear that any more sometime soon.#dog #old dog #senior dog #clio #joe biden mention

ugh. it's nearly 3 am. I forgot that I might need to wake up early - we have no idea when the window guy is gonna be here. we don't even know what day yet. could be tomorrow though, who knows (no one, apparently).

#I'm scared I won't be able to sleep so I don't want to go to bed #rn I'm still on the couch and. my legs are already doing that weird thing again 😭#it worries me #not because that itself is scary. I just. already can't sleep. so this is too fucking much #and. about the thing with the window. I'm so annoyed about this whole thing! it's really getting on my nerves. it's already been THREE times #that they were supposed to show up and they just. didn't.#personal

i got sleep paralysis again the other night but instead of thinking someone was trying to kill me this time i perceived the being sitting on me as a nice guy, he just didn’t realize that i was there and that he was crushing me. he looked like this but with a longer head, more horns and just one eye, and seemed really sad, holding his head in his hands. in my mind the scenario was that he was sitting on a curb (that i was laying on i guess) hiding in a dark alley after something bad happened. so i wasn't scared of him i just felt bad for him. when i managed to get his attention he was apologetic and went away and my body started to wake up

shout out to the benevolent sleep paralysis demon hope things get better for u

#my mom had chronic and debilitating sleep paralysis at one point in her life #i don’t get it very often but sometimes i worry it’ll get bad like hers was #it is scary when i'm too asleep to realize what’s happening and/or the visions are very realistic like just a human trying to kill me #but when they're more fantastical i don't usually get as scared or it'll be enough for me to realize it's not real and it's totally fine #and kinda funny. i'm just laying there paralyzed like hey what's up giant floating red demon head circling my bed #oh my window is a tv screen? ok guess i'll just watch it til i can move again #i think it probably helps to have these instances where i'm not scared? that it's not always a bad thing #hopefully i can like subconsciously reinforce that enough so it's more often not scary

Oh mind electric we're really in it now.
