Smack about Anger.

Smack is a mini-podcast in which I try to tackle topics with common sense and logical reasoning, without bad intentions or ulterior motives. If a take happens to align with any political, religious or other kind of ideology, that is purely coincidental. It will inevitably upset someone, but please hear me out and remain civil.

Super disappointed to see the same bullshit discourse around bisexual people still being thrown around. I'm not less queer than you just because I also have straight(ish) experiences. I haven't suffered less than you just because I also have straight(ish) experiences. And by saying I shouldn't be allowed to bring my (cis, opposite gender) partner to pride, you're saying my motherfucking identity isn't welcome at pride.

You know. My QUEER identity. At PRIDE.

Fuck off with that biphobic bullshit, I'm so over feeling not straight enough for straight spaces and not queer enough for queer spaces.

AND BY THE WAY, while I have y'all here anyway: trans, pan, ace, aro, intersex, enby, POC identities, and questioning people are also fucking valid and fucking welcome in queer spaces. Fuck "queer enough", it's toxic gatekeeping bullshit that actively hurts the most vulnerable members of the community.

Durante os anos de prática clínica percebi que muitos dos assuntos do dia a dia giram em torno do desequilíbrio. Não é claro e nem aparente, o corpo se comunica de maneiras diversas com sintomas que misturam-se com senso comum e dinâmicas adoecedoras. Por exemplo: um relacionamento onde o casal se ama mas não conversam, uma vida atribulada, cheia de compromissos e dores financeiras ou uma rotina estafante que se transforma em ansiedade crônica. O equilíbrio não é uma média, nem um ponto médio, mas um esforço e trabalho onde há a necessidade de perceber que aquela maneira de agir não está funcionando. E essa mudança gira em torno de conversas. As vezes de papos difíceis e que exigem superações e nadar contra a maré. Por isso a campanha em prol da saúde mental e emocional (#janeirobranco) deste ano trabalha esse tema. Seja na clínica, na prática diária é importantíssimo perceber que equilíbrio e desequilíbrio são movimentos do ciclo humano e requerem sua atenção. @janeirobranco Ajude a divulgar ações da campanha. Busque a tag #janeirobranco e compartilhe as ações e mensagens que podem ajudar alguém nessa busca por equilíbrio. #janeirobranco #quemcuidadamentecuidadavida #psi #vamosjaneirar #janeirobranconabahia #janeirobrancoemsalvador #psicoeduca #janeirobrancoutilidadep #todomundoquerajudar #saudemental #falemaissobreisso #psicologia #janeirobrancotododia #janeirobrancodejaneiroajaneiro #janeirobrancoleifederal #letstalk #oms #janeirobrancodasamigas #janeirar #psicoterapia #janeirante #janeirobrancomanaus #procureumpsicologo #saudeemocional #porumaculturadasaudemental #seraqueomundosabedisso #psicoonline #meupsicoonline #psicólogo #terapiascomamor https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm9kiGPJV0O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Looking back in my past relationships I noticed there were a lot of patterns. Each relationship ended horribly and I thought about why do I keep choosing the same partner? It wasn’t until I started focusing on healing my wounds that I gained a new perspective. I started to want more things for myself and redesigned what I want for the future. We have to forgive ourselves and others to facilitate true healing. ⭐️ This is a healing space.❤️‍🩹Double tap to affirm.🫶🏾✨ Lets support one another. . . . . #spiritualjourney #healingjourney #healing #letstalk #loveyourself #loveislove #forgiveness #forgivenessheals #advice #adviceoftheday #relationshipadvice #datingadvice101 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm7dePuue-E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Friendly reminder that this can happen to anyone at any age, no matter how much you think you've got your shit together. I didn't fully realise this until I was facing the very real possibility of couchsurfing earlier this year. And I'm very lucky that I had friends who would have been able to house me for short periods of time - if I had just moved here, if I didn't have such strong friendships, if my friends were in different life situations, I would have been looking at living in my car.

This happened because I had plans to move in with a friend who changed her mind last minute, just as my lease was up. I did everything right - I was working a stable job, I had thought ahead, and I had made solid plans for my housing. But it didn't matter.

It CAN happen to anyone.

It CAN happen to your loved ones.

It CAN happen to you.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener

BPD should be a diagnosis of exclusion.

BPD should be a diagnosis of exclusion.

BPD SHOULD BE A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION.

BPD SHOULD BE A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION.

Please, if you work in mental health or know anyone who does, please don't stop talking about this. BPD is still disgustingly stigmatised and largely (totally incorrectly) considered untreatable by medical professionals. I won't say BPD shouldn't be a diagnosis, because I honestly don't know. But I do know that if the person being considered for a BPD diagnosis fits the criteria for autism, ADHD, PTSD, and/or CPTSD, those should be treated before giving a BPD diagnosis.

We should also be calling out people who stigmatise BPD, especially in the mental health space. It's disgusting, arcane, and just fucking incorrect that we still consider people with BPD to be people to avoid or people that can't be treated.

If you have BPD or think you have BPD, I see you, I hear you, I love you. There is hope. You will get better.

Just reblogging myself on the correct account

a while ago i attended this lecture on autism. guy in the audience said he had many of the symptoms that were presented and asked what should he do to get treatment and possibly a diagnosis. instead of answering his question the psychologist went on a tangent about how “the clinic reigns all powerful over guesswork”, and how actually it has become a trend amongst little children on the internet to claim that they are autistic for cool points, and that this hurts real autistic people. no she didn’t tell him how to get his symptoms looked into, she just made it very clear that to her, aknowledging your own symptoms is bad and evil and hurts the poor real mentally ill people.

an ex-friend of mine, then a psychology major and by now probably a full psychologist, once lectured me on how horrible and bad it was that i told her “i probably have some sort of neurodivergency”, and that if i were her patient she would never give me a diagnosis because “you aren’t like this now, but i know that if you get a diagnosis you’ll use it as an excuse to start treating people badly. that’s just how mentally ill people are.”

same ex-friend was extremely disgusted when she found out that fans sometimes make neurodivergency headcanons for characters that have the same symptoms as they do, and that authors sometimes write books with neurodivergent protagonists in stories that don’t focus on that (ex: she seemed horrified that percy jackson has adhd?)

multiple psychologists i’ve seen on facebook agree that they should refuse to treat patients that say “i’m here because i have symptoms of a disorder and wonder if i have it”, and that a patient should arrive to a psychologist as a blank slate.

school psychologist asked me how i was feeling about my trauma situation and i told him i thought my friends would leave me. instead of addressing the issue he said that that no i didn’t, that i was lying, that i had searched “bpd symptoms” online and now i was faking symptoms because i wanted to have bpd, that he shouldn’t have told me he suspected i had a personality disorder because now look what was happening. no, i didn’t search bpd symptoms online. yes, my friends left me, it was a completely founded belief and not a symptom, let alone a faked symptom.

so the next time you hear someone saying they’re “anti self-diagnosis” i want you to understand what they’re saying. what they’re saying is:

- i don’t want people to be aware of their own symptoms

- i don’t think my patients should have access to any information that doesn’t come from me

- i don’t think neurodivergent people should learn how to cope with their symptoms and live “normal” lives

- i think neurodivergent people should be denied a diagnosis because the moment they get one they will become evil and dangerous

- i don’t think people who don’t look like a stereotype could possibly be neurodivergent, even if they have all the symptoms, so i think they are faking it for attention and should be denied treatment
