#in hindsight (or foresight?) it’s kinda bonkers that all of my fave toxic ships being ones where the more predatory one is obsessed with—#the victim. most definitely not reflective of my own trauma lmao have you ever met a man 🧍 if you’re not putting out you’re obsolete#though ofc the former is always more interesting#anyways. definitely fully intending to look into therapy next year i cannot keep either crying myself to sleep or being numb#not related to the former statements just winter depression. also pondering…other coping…which ofc is gonna make things way worse#but all in the name of being honest#the strange thing is that i feel like everyone around me is also fully aware of everything going to shit and they’re either ignoring it or—#coping worse than i am#the thing is mostly just that the things i freak out about are real issues and not just like. anxiety things#so i have to find a way to not worry about things that actually matter so that i can function#so so tired#also staying off here/my phone more to feel a bit better. gonna listen to my audiobook#tw vent#rose.txt

I got full points in my philosophy exam!! 😭 The teacher handed it back just saying "this is perfect". I feel so content rn ❤️
#(I felt like I did worse than in the first semester#so this was a nice 'surprise' - not that I was expecting much less but still)#It´s the fact that all other good students only got a 95#I´m posting about it here because I need to cope with my parents only ever telling me 'I did good' and only ever that#which - valid - but I am afraid your daughter needs at least some genuine praise...#eldest daughter things#drug of choice: academic validation#academic validation#academic weapon#study motivation#study inspiration#studyblr#karoupdates#karoriginal

read the michaelanglo macro issue and ohhh my fucking god ojhhhhh my god
anyway. this page was really cute

#I HAVE. SO MANY THOUGHTS.#so wooo ramble in the tags#how splinter talks to leo actually makes me so ill#also the way the three of them try to justify the children in the foot clan is so interesting#raphael saying how it would be good for self defense because he was on the streets knowing Nothing and had no support#the children being a part of the foot is awful but at least they won’t be on the streets alone#and then donnie and leo knowing there’s no where else with resources and they just Can’t say no to splinter#i got my jenny crumbs too. i’m so excited to see more of her#and godddd just everything about mikey. i really enjoy the amount of love and care idw puts into his character#he misses the father he knew and he’s not afraid to stand up to the man he is now#‘you’re Worse than shredder’ OUGH.#and then his brothers cheering him on after winning :) he did what they couldn’t do!#i’m so excited to see what splinter’s future holds. i really hope this gets through his head that he need to change (i am coping and hoping)#ok ramble over#idw#idw mikey#idw leo#tmnt idw#idw tmnt#tmnt#turtle talks

i can't even tell if i FEEL bad or if i'm just going through the motions of someone who feels bad in order to convince myself that i do
#because like. i'm probably fine. i can't imagine i'm struggling particularly worse than anyone else#i really think these are just normal mental issues. like i guess slightly low self-esteem and prob mild depression or whatever. but normal#if not better and more cope-able than normal!! than average i mean!!#like in terms of the mean negative feelings of the human population. i think i am probably experiencing far less than other people.#but also i feel like i want sympathy SO badly that i. tend to say and do things to imply to myself that things are#worse than they really are. maybe.#and all the pretending has convinced me that i'm ACTUALLY doing poorly and deserving of sympathy.#when really! i just ACT this way!!! no mental illness necessary!!!!!#don't take this too seriously. anyway. i'm feeling really dazed today. really really hazy.#hello world

I literally need someone to hold a gun to my head so i can write anything for this thesis
#i am wasting so many days of my life trying and yet procrastinating#and robbing myself of sleep and flooding my system with constant stress hormones#and y e t#i can't press a word out of myself#but i have to and it has to make sense even. ideally look like i haven't wasted a week 🙃#i can't focus for shit in this heat either#i should get the tomato timer. try for 15 minutes at least. wish me luck.#pomodoro method is nothing like a gun to the head but what can you do#perso#sorry for the whining i just.#rather this than other worse coping mechanisms

if you want to impress upon your anons that chilchuck is all that matters, show them how you acted during the episode 11 watch party
i think it gets the point across
(this ask is sent with much love)
ok but in my defense there were a lot of scenes without chilchuck….how was a chuckster like me supposed to survive!! i dont watch chilchuck meshi to see laios slay a dragon or whatever
#asks#this makes me look worse than i am i swear. i wasnt like that the whole time#i did pull up a chil png for enrichment but that was to help me cope

a shot of whiskey at night has been doing wonders for my nerves. not to sound like I got my prescription from a cowboy-doctor or something, but it's near instant relief
#[static]#my ocd has been worse than it has been in months and it makes me feel feral-animal levels of anxious#as a general rule I never drink; never much liked the taste of it#the anxiety has been so bad that I've been trying all sorts of remedies on top of the healthy coping tools I have in my pocket#I'm not currently insured so I can't go to my normal doctor and ask for anxiety medication#but the moment I get insurance again in June ... you can bet I'll be making some phone calls#I just need to be conked over the head and put to sleep for a month maybe that'll help#I turned to trying whiskey as a last ditch effort and I'm grateful its helped ... settles my nerves enough where I can actually sleep#and not wake up still in a state of deep stress and anxiety#do not take this as medical advice if you're experiencing anxiety/ocd#i know my limits very well and am highly aware of the downward slope that self-medicating can lead to#*gestures to my entire family* I've learned from their history and have always been hyper aware of vices/crutches#but when a man can't sleep nor think except for the constant spiral of anxiety sometimes you have to find temporary aid

i still feel literally awful about my project like its making me feel ill with worry
#i feel marginally better than yesterday but i dont feel great#im like. considering changing my entire project#im hoping its just a misunderstanding but idk#im trying to work on other uni stuff and im struggling because i cant stop thinking about yesterday#i dont want to do something useless. but i was literally asked to do this project?? idk im so confused#and im panicking which never allows for good judgement#i just wish i didnt feel so terrible#everyone else had really cool ideas that were well received#which makes me feel even worse#like. it was humiliating. and i feel ive been misunderstood/misinterpreted which i never cope well with#god my grade for it is gonna be terrible i can just tell#which is fine in the sense of its a 'best two of three' type thing. so as long as i do okay in the other two presentations its fine#im trying to think of it as a learning experience but its hard#i was also earnestly looking for jobs today because i really am considering just walking away#which feels dramatic but also my mental health is so so bad rn its not funny

I SLEPT (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*.✧
#(without taking more pills)#I was so tempted to because I did need to be awake for something at a certain time today#but I knew that even if I'd sleep faster with more pills I'd sleep worse and be groggier in the morning#so I used my non-medicine coping strategies to fall asleep and they worked#I am so grateful that YouTube and podcasts exist#I think the tea I drink helps a little too even if it might be placebo but it tastes good either way so I don't care#and I also make up lists in my mind#my thoughts never really stop so might as well try to distract myself with something that isn't too 'heavy'#I really thought I wasn't going to be able to sleep and I'm still surprised that I did#but I have been trying to cope better and not use more meds than I need to#I am trying

#literally not coping whatsoever with life in general being horrific and then the grief kicks into hypermode bc apparently i am not suffering#enough LOL. tho tbf i would not be in this place mentally/emotionally/in life had i not lost my entire support system and everything/one i#love so it is intrinsically connected anyway. rip.#me wanting to die at 15 bc life is horrible: surely it cannot get worse than this.#life: honey you’ve got a big storm comin.#genuinely i think that’s why i am handling this so horribly too bc i was already FAR past burnt out from the trauma of everything up to 18#then shit got 5000x worse and it completely irreparably broke me. lmfao.#anyway whatever you people are probably so sick of hearing me whine and cry abt this shit i do apologize. however it will not stop 👍#asks#anon

On the one hand objectively I'm aware things aren't that bad right now but also they are kind of bad right now you get me?
#basically i think i've sort of just been stuck in a 'daily life is a massive grind right now' phase and yeah#it's like things could be worse but they could be a lot better#and i am def lacking in whimsy lately#and yeah it's just the same old same old and im getting kind of fed up of it tbh#also i will say i am generally coping with this a lot better than i would've done a while ago but yeah

Maybe it’s the “avoidant” part of my “fearful avoidance,” but. I really just…don’t care if someone I’m attracted to romantically likes someone else, or doesn’t share those feelings. Like, you do you. We’re not dating or owe eachother anything, and it all boils down to autonomy and compatibility, anyway. (And let’s face it, I don’t believe I’ll ever be compatible with anyone in terms of physical intimacy and I’m not able to compromise that without bruising my own boundaries, so.) But also like. I’d just. Turn attraction “off” if I could reach inside my head and flip a switch. Sadly humans aren’t that simple. Absolutely unfair.
Nah. What does get me into the Fearful instead (and struggling with that FA push-pull of “keep away/please don’t leave”): whether or not someone even wants to be my friend. Especially when I also accidentally developed attraction to them.
#tiger’s roar#acengst#fearful avoidant#…and yeah. I really am just Stuck sitting with my feelings#the same way I have to Sit with my cptsd around environments and forming IRL friendships in GENERAL#absolutely unfair but whatever#it’s exposure work babyyy!!#kinda makes me wanna laugh. SARDONICALLY. when I have people tell me to ‘just work on myself’#this IS self work. learning how to cope with platonic and romantic feelings and the fears that automatically come with them for me IS.#and it absolutely sucks. believe me. I’d rather not feel them at all#I keep poking at them to try and ‘turn it off’ because my adhd brain wants to FIX it#but the only thing I can ACTUALLY do is accept that I have them#especially since admitting them to the person in question would 90% make things worse ‘cause of their own wounds and load#IF things could ever reach a point of nuance vs All or Nothing being accepted and not trigger a flee patterning again? maybe#but as it is I kinda feel like we talked around and walked right up to the elephant but didn’t take the sheet off it#yeah carrying it sucks. but since all I wanted was the friendship and NOT the addition of romantic attraction…#…anyway. they’ve done quite a bit to try and make up what happened.#and I’ve done everything I can think of to assure them that I won’r pressure them. value THEM more than the friendship#and…not exactly dropping hints but. trying to let them know IF. that’s their call. I just want the friendship healthy

the thing (well, one thing anyway) about chronic pain is how you'll have a day or half a day or even just a few hours that'll get you so close to just fucking wanting to end it all right then and there because you're just so tired of being in pain and it feeling like it'll never end and never get better, and your brain feels like it's on fire and you can't remember the last time you felt even just okay, much less fine or good.
and logically you know it'll probably be alright again in time, but the effort it takes to just make it through that moment is so exhausting that it just leaves you drained.
and it's not like you want to die, you just want the pain and misery to stop, and sometimes it feels like it never will. like you're just stuck on that endlessly-looping train track through hell with no stops to get off, and nothing will help you feel even minutely better at all.
#anyway. it's been a day so far and I have not been coping well today#just more migraine madness with a mean dizziness kick to it as has happened more and more often lately#and I didn't know if I'd be able to keep my pain meds down or if I would even be able to make it to lying down in time#nor how long I could lie down for before my neck would make it all worse again#I'm better now obviously but it was touch and go and it's not been the first time I've pondered if it's at all worth it#the taking meds every day to make sure I don't end up spiralling out of control from some mood episode#the taking more meds to try and keep my migraine in check when it seems as though it's just been getting worse#and like the meds are less and less effective (when I know I have zero alternatives bc of the meds I'm already on)#and I just get so tired. and fed up with it all. and I want to be hopeful and optimistic#but what am I doing it all for you know? is all this agony worth the few good days and moments#and logically I know the answer is yes. there is a lot more good in all those days than I can recall right now#but it's so hard to remember when I can barely open my eyes. barely get up. barely walk without being in pain#so I guess I just needed to get that out. no need to worry I'm not stupid and I'm far too stubborn to give up#I just wish the world would stop and quiet down for a bit so I could have a break. an actual one for once#a day in the life of..#about this gal
