how do you reconnect to life after being disconnected for so long

[neuroticboyfriend]

do you have "treatment resistant depression" or are you just fundamentally living a life that would make anyone depressed?

are you just dealing with abuse, poverty, and oppression? are you just dealing with a lifetime of trauma? do we just live in a society where peoples basic needs are neglected, and the completely understanble response to that is pathologized? on purpose? so that it's just an individual problem and people arent Trying Enough... so nothing about the system has to change?

...do you have "treatment resistant depression," or do you just need real community, support, resources, and protection?

Therapy takes time.

Unlearning behaviour takes times, even if not proceeding with that behaviour would make sense in your head.

Let's normalize that going to therapy for a few times won't probably magically turn your life around, especially if you come from years of trauma or mental health issues (or both). Cut yourself some slack for not magically just dropping and unlearning the coping mechanism you have learned and kept for years, sometimes for decades, in order to survive. It's a process, and you're doing it at your own pace.

hate when therapists get suspicious when you're well educated on mental health and/or are self aware. sir i live here. of course i'm going to be able to articulate myself well about my mental illness. that does not mean im making it up.

My other favorite thing about Murderbot is Murderbot's internal narrative steadily shifting from 'resolutely denying that it's having an emotion' because, like, it was company property tf was it gonna do about it, to Network Effect's run-on paragraph that had me staring at the wall on my lunch break where it equates being out of control of a situation to being out of control of itself and then that's one step away from being back in control of the company

Traumatic psychology/psychiatry experience flag

[PT: Traumatic psychology/psychiatry experience flag /END PT]

A awareness flag for those who experienced trauma with psychology or psychiatry, and also those who don’t have trauma with it but bad experiences. This is in honor for people who tried to cure their neurodivergence but psychology or psychiatry harmed them in some way, people who had terrible experiences with therapy, and etc.

I decided to make this flag, because we aren’t represented and our experiences are almost always invalidated and ignored even by other neurodivergent people! We have our own right of choice to not recover or seek other ways to heal ourselves, whatever makes us more happy!

[IMAGE ID: The image features a lilac and white checkered or grid pattern filling a square-shaped frame. At the center of the image, there's a white square that contains the psychology symbol. The design conveys a sense of simplicity and elegance. /END ID]

Lilac and white are typical colors of healing, it represents our internal or external alternative healing methods. Psychology symbol with an X in it shows that we’re tired, we don’t want to be in a harmful environment anymore

Please this is a coining blog, discourse isn’t allowed.

if you continue treating BPD like a set-in-stone subject, you continue to stigmatize so many women who have been harmed by the psychiatric industry.

i have been straight up discriminated against multiple times in medical settings for having those three letters on my charts. my life got better the day i rejected that bullshit diagnosis and decided to go to the root of my problems instead of hiding behind the shield of Sensitive Difficult Person Disease.

if we actually treated trauma victims with any dignity this wouldn’t even be an issue

FYI when it comes to trauma processing, sometimes one of the healthiest and productive decisions you can make is to ACTIVELY choose to avoid and not address an issue right now even if you "should"

Its easy to get caught in the "talk about it, use therapy productively, if you aren't doing anything, you aren't Doing Anything" and, while compulsive habitual avoidance typically causes temporary stagnation, ACTIVE acknowledgement that you are CHOOSING to ignore it and avoid it because you are CHOOSING to give yourself space and time is such a fundamental skill to emotional awareness, self regulation, self compassion, and rebuilding trust within yourself to maintain your own boundaries even when you feel that you "should" ignore them

Actively choosing to not address a topic at the moment is good practice at saying "I am not ready and I need more time and for that reason I am going to actively refuse to engage in this topic at the current moment" which helps so immensely at being more mindful of your own needs and emotional states which can be hard as someone with C-PTSD

Sometimes the best and most healing thing you can do for yourself is Nothing.

I think I’ve realized why wwx is so jiang cheng’s tears-phobic. He lowkey internalized that Jiang cheng is just like his mom into the sense that Jiang cheng’s bad moods are compartmentalized in the part of wwx’s brain that kept all the anger and vitriol yzy had for him. I think a part of him thinks that jc’s anger is somehow going to be turned against him in the way yzy’s was, even though most times jc was justified in his anger, in wwx’s perspective that anger is something to be avoided. It’s a big part of why I think wwx acted so fast in finding a solution to the golden core situation, even at the expense of his own life. He was made to feel (by yzy) that he owed her a life debt for the simple act of saving him and taking him in. Every privilege that he enjoyed was turned on its head and spit back out at him and his whole life he felt like he was bidding his time until yzy got sick of him enough to do something about it. On the other hand jc could not understand why wwx was so eager to leave, he saw him as a brother the minute he got over his dogs being taken away and went to find wwx. Jc does not see their relationship as so transactional as wwx does, so his anger towards wwx is that of a family member towards another. But since anger had been weaponized against wwx so much as a child (and jc too but his situation was different obv) he feels an obligation to either solve the problem right away , or distance himself from jc and his feelings. He doesn’t think that jc cherished him enough to handle his feelings and have an equal back and forth relationship with him, when obv that’s not true. Its also why wwx was so happy go lucky all the time, I’m sure him and jc had their moments when wwx felt frustrated or angry but we never really see those feelings resurface that much. He was so drawn to working with resentment bc he has a pool full of it inside him. I honesty do like that wwx is so positive but you can’t deny the fact that his trauma is something intense and it informs his relationships with all the other characters including lwj. Instead of assuming that lwj wanted to help him (which was true) he went with the narrative that someone as righteous as lwj would not want anything to do with him, going so far as to believe it even when told otherwise.

Friendly reminder to not support the Autism Speaks organization

[candidateofloyalty]

While Akihiko is autistic it would never occur to him to get tested because he relies on Mitsuru to keep track of his medical appointments. This is a problem because Mitsuru is also autistic but because her grandfather sucks she simply received instruction in acting more neurotypical from an early age, preventing her from realizing and therefore from noticing similar traits in Akihiko. She does however schedule their blood work for their HRT on the same day so they can go out for ice cream afterward.
