#bring this up in therapy next week

[kayleafeon]

As a Canadian, I can't imagine having to donate plasma weekly to afford food. Like, what are you expected to do if the return fails and they can't return some of your red blood cells? I guess starve while you wait out the 60 days before you can donate again? What a dystopian capitalistic hell we live in.

do you actually realize how fucking dystopian it is that I'm donating plasma every week just to afford breakfast?

Or have we all become so desensitized to current displays of fascism that we've adopted the VERY naïve belief that "if there aren't bodies in the street then we're not in danger?"

Idk, I think there's something about the new Doctor saying, "you've been fighting everyone's battles for so long, you need to stop for a while and rest."

It's so refreshing to hear.

I look at fifteen and he says "I love you" and "you've done so much, it's time to retire" and "you need to take care of yourself, so that I can be", and it feels so validating.

(Imagine, if you have to, fighting for so long - fighting for years - and never being able to stop. How tired would you be? How difficult to wake up every day and take another step?)

Three episodes of it: "Let it go"; "you don't have to prove yourself"; "you need to rest".

Imagine how we'd feel if we could all give our past selves permission to rest.

I can't tell if I'm biased because of my knowledge about DID and my personal history with the disorder, but I've always thought of my child and adolescent selves as separate entities from me, with mental blocks or barriers between them and me. I don't know, it might be overthinking or sleep deprivation, but it could also be something meaningful to me and my recovery.

i don’t understand what people are supposed to talk to their therapists about. my therapist just wants me to apply to jobs. this doesn’t feel right

[mashupofmylife]

For reasons that I now can't remember, my therapist (who mainly works as a child psychiatrist) and I ended up discussing the fact that I still sleep with stuffed animals. I was not expecting him to end the session by telling me that he expects to see pictures of them (or, for that matter, for him to reveal that he immediately assumed that my bed was completely filled with stuffed animals).

mum just casually brought up the fact that I didn't speak to her for a few months earlier this year, and the similarities with the Chris and Eddie storyline are... lowkey funny

[captain-noir]

just got off a conference call with the fam and by fam i mean cousins and grandparents and great uncles all coz my baby sister (22) rang my mother up, in tears coz her bitch ass manager yelled at her in front of customers. murder was plotted. an entire smear campaign was launched. doxxing was considered. my brother is on his way to the shop with the intention to get her fired. madness. literally spent the last hour of my work in the toilet trying to talk various family members off the ledge.

cannot escape the hellscape of driving to your dentist appointment while your Healthcare App beeps to remind you that you have a past due bill from the last appointment

Does anyone else get like, angry??? About being early to something?? Like, I Hate getting to work early. I don’t want to be late, and I very rarely am ever late by more than a few minutes. But like, when you have to punch in on a time clock for Job ™️ it kind of becomes an issue.

Genuinely asking for advice because I cannot continue being late but the idea of getting to work early fills my bones with rage and I do not know what to do and googling “Why does being early make me angry?” Just shows results about anger issues, which doesn’t feel applicable.
