Can the "trans men are oppressors" crowd do me a favor and try to find mental health resources for trans men in their area? And I mean real resources not just videos and articles. Any support groups for trans men? Any therapy groups? Are local queer centers reaching out for specific resources to trans men? Does the local sexual health center have information about birth control, abortions, fertility? Is there a shelter for trans men that they can be safe in without misgendering themselves? Are there any social groups for trans men?

If they're so privileged, where the fuck is it?

okay, I'm crowdsourcing advice for a minute, so bear with me and please lend some words if you have any:

I want to get out of the house more. Like, on a regular basis. Weekly, maybe. Preferably, I would like to be interacting with people—the same people—every time, for... like... accountability, but also because I am hoping to put myself out there as the 21st century's most neurotic platonic Casanova. Uh. Making a friend or more out of this would be desirable. But I think if I go out with the intention of making a friend, I will be disappointed.

So. I want to go do something, for that something's own sake. I don't want to go be fake once a week hoping to get a friend out of it.

However, the beautiful state of Iowa is a bit cultureless, and I am too introverted and easily overwhelmed for this world (e.g. going to bars is probably not gonna be my thing). So.... I guess.... any suggestions? opinions? thoughts on making friends in general, or finding good activities as an introverted adult, in general?

oh yeah, also: I am poor. that's a factor. so. signing up a class or similar is not a great option right now.

what the heck, I'll add a silly poll for fun:

love when everyone in my group talks about how many friends they have and all the types of friends and how they’ve made friends online and irl and how they’re friends are so supportive and fun and positive and how they have 4 friends or their friend group

One of the things that sucks with being triggered by drugs / weed / etc is that if I mention it, even casually, I get a bunch of pearl-clutchers being all “YES its the DeViLs LeTTucE pure EVIL glad you agree!!!” And its like,, guys I swear I’m not with them!! I’m not with them I swearereerr & I basically have to FIGHT for my trauma to not be used as an excuse to hate addicts (or people just having a good time) & honestly that fucking SUCKS cos I really want to talk about it sometimes, but people are insane about hating drug users for literally no reason

Like its not some random stoner’s fault that weed reminds me of my trauma, its just how it is. Baseball caps & schnauzers also remind me of my trauma & I’m not out here saying people who wear hats or like dogs should be treated as subhuman & thrown in jail like jfc

[avephelis]

might be a little low on fanart atm feeling original stuff a bit more... then again i will probably say this and then get ideas 3 hours later so. manifesting. anyway.

Ya know how some chronically online folk moan and bitch about being alone because they think they are so unattractive, it’s such a WILDLY ABSURD belief. I get insecurities, I get that, I emphasize, like I truly understand that feeling no matter how illogical it is, BUT there are some people (incels but others too) that truly think being short, chubby, or whatever feature they think is what makes them undesirable is the SOLE cause of their lack of romantic partners, is like PLEASE GO TO A MALL AND PEOPLE WATCH.

You will see couples of all shapes, sizes, levels of attractiveness! “Ugly” people marry, fuck, hook up all the time. The problem is your lack of sociability, self-esteem, no confidence, maybe yeah mental health issues, and perhaps shitty bigoted personality, but if being alone really affects you negatively, aka you aren’t a natural loner and are depressed because you are alone, SEEK groups or communities OUTSIDE THE FUCKING internet!

It ain’t easy, but sitting online and complaining because you think women all hate you because you’re short or fat is so ridiculous, HAHAHA trust me there are many happily fat short fellas happily with partners because they aren’t toxic assholes!

This is just one of the many glaring holes in this way of thinking, which is why you will see these guys twist that even “ugly” women can get laid which is also so false and a wild assumption, but that also is a rabbit hole of how some people will have a distorted view on sex, relationships, gender, sexuality, etc that I do not feel like getting into.

Greetings bugs and worms!

This comic is a little different than what I usually do but I worked real hard on it—Maybe I'll make more infographic stuff in the future this ended up being fun. Hope you learned something new :)

If you are still curious and want to learn more about OCD, you can visit the International OCD Foundation's website. I also recommend this amazing TED ED video "Starving The Monster", which was my first introduction to the disorder and this video by John Green about his own experience with OCD.

The IOCDF's website can also help you find support groups, therapy, and has lots of online guides and resources as well if you or a loved one is struggling with the disorder. It is very comprehensive!

Reblog to teach your followers about OCD

Unlocking Stronger Relationships and Self-Worth through Guided Support and Professional Therapy

Guided support is essential for developing relationships and self-esteem. People seek guidance through different kinds of therapy. Couples therapy online helps people find easy solutions to their relationship problems right from home. In-person sessions can be daunting, but online therapy offers a much more relaxed experience. You decide when and where to hold the meeting. This blog shows you how guided support can enhance personal and relational growth.

Building Healthy Communication

Transparent communication is the heart of every successful relationship. Guided support encourages open communication and helps develop critical listening skills.  People learn how to communicate their feelings and needs effectively, thus creating a sense of security.  This process gives rise to understanding, compassion, and trust. When both parties are heard and validated, the conflicts are resolved much more effectively.  Couples find it easier to navigate through misunderstandings, allowing them to address issues before they escalate. As a result, relationships become stronger and healthier.

Boosting Self-Esteem

Most people struggle with low self-worth, which inhibits growth and happiness. Feelings of inadequacy can affect all areas of life, including relationships. Therapy for low self esteem gives an individual the needed insights and tools to overcome such feelings. A professional will help you discover the root cause of low self-esteem, whether from childhood experiences or present issues. As you explore these deep-seated issues, you gain clarity and learn to challenge negative self-talk. Improved self-esteem also empowers you to set boundaries, thus maintaining healthy connections.

Transforming Your Life with Professional Guidance

Guided support provides specific solutions to overcome life's challenges. Therapists provide you with valuable tips for managing emotions and improving relationships.  Each session allows you to reflect on past experiences and learn new coping mechanisms. In this process, you gain insight into your behaviors and patterns. This knowledge empowers you to make healthier decisions in every aspect of your life.

Strengthening Bonds Through Group Support

Engaging with others facing similar challenges can be incredibly uplifting. Group therapy provides a sense of community and shared experience. This practice helps you feel less isolated in their struggles. The bonds developed through Group therapy DC may lead to lasting friendships and mutual support. Attending sessions with others enables idea exchange and encouragement. It is a safe space to explore emotions, share personal stories, and gain different perspectives. These connections can provide additional motivation to improve relationships and self-worth.

Guided support can lead to fulfilling relationships and a stronger sense of self. With help from professionals like Dr. Alex Afram, your journey toward improvement begins today.

The new anti recovery rhetoric is that "people who make posts about dealing with depression/anxiety are talking about the emotion, not the disorder" and I'm here to say as someone with both disorders that that position is just not true.

Rag on getting your body moving and not holing up in ur room with instant meals all you want, no one can make you do anything for ur mental health that u aren't ready and willing to do, but it's frankly nonsensical to act like managing a depressed or anxious mood wouldnt translate to changing the affects of a mood disorder.

Yeah, I will always be anxious and depressed, but you know what worsens those spirals consistently? Isolation. Holing myself up in my room and not going anywhere. Not reaching out to ppl. Not eating food anywhere but my car or my bedroom.

Flipside--you know what, while never getting rid of my anxiety and depression, helps me function daily and maintain relationships? Getting out of my house. Going to the gym and not talking to a damn soul but moving my body. Talking with my friends and acquaintances even if I'm scared they don't want to, even when that will usually cause an immediate spike in anxiety, bc 99.9% of the time that's my own brain assuming the worst.

And guess what—I still have bad days! I still have days where I bedrot. My executive dysfunction has actually never been worse than rn. Sometimes my social anxiety is so severe that trying to socialize to counteract will only make it worse.

I live with these mood disorders every day, on top of general emotional dysregulation; exercise and eating habits will not make them go away, it's true. But it helps manage the symptoms. Which is what ppl are talking about when they make posts abt helping depression and anxiety. And that's why tweet threads like this

Are just the same "we can't all be neurotypical, Karen" posts as 2014.

Replier isn't ready to consistently move themselves out of bed yet, and that's ok!! It's a hallmark of being depressed for a reason!

But

they themselves acknowledge that when they can get out and move, it does help!

And maybe it's just the "spent 2 years in a group DBT setting for suicidal teens" in me speaking but I think they're also unintentionally identifying the biggest thing that hinders recovery—shame for our bad days; shame for relapses—shame. Sometimes you'll wake up and getting out of bed feels insurmountable. You wanted to get out and hit the sidewalk this morning before it got too hot, or before the rain came in and brought in a week long cold front, and you can't go to the gym bc you can't afford a membership bc you don't have a job, but this morning everything feels so heavy that you just can't bring yourself to do it. Maybe later in the afternoon you feel like you can get up and out, but now you feel like you've ruined the day for yourself bc you can't get that walk in. So you stay in bed. And then maybe the next day you get up and it's better. You're feeling a bit more energetic than the day before, even without the possibility of a walk! ...until you remember that party this afternoon that you weren't too big on going to, but your best friends set it up for a small group of you all to hang out. You still want to see your friends, but you'd offered to make brownies; which wouldn't be too bad, just mix the egg and water to the box powder and shove it in the oven for a bit, except for one thing—you don't have enough time to get presentable *and* make brownies this morning if you want to be on time. heaven knows you can't be late, they'll all be so annoyed, and you definitely can't show up brownie-less. Then you remember that you did have plans for yesterday beyond the walk—you were going to make the brownies the night before so they'd be ready for this! You can't believe you sabotaged yourself this bad yesterday.

Overwhelmed with the stress of not only showering, cleaning your teeth, and finding the cleanest clothes you have, but also with the dilemma of brownies to be made, without even getting into the drive over to your friends' house, and the realization that maybe you wouldn't have been so overwhelmed if you had just gotten out of bed yesterday when you had the energy; the sudden sureness that you are self sabotaging without even realizing it until its too late....

You finally reach out to your friends.

With an apology that you won't be able to make it today after all. You sit on the couch and hate yourself.

That extremely detailed ramble drawing from various instances in my own life? The hypothetical you is being held back, yes by their depressive tendencies, but also by the way their shame feeds right back into it. So ashamed of missing their walk window, that they stay in bed. So ashamed of staying in bed even when they could have mustered the energy to go to the kitchen and remember to bake brownies, that they can't even think about being late or going without brownies, so they stay home. So busy hating themself that they don't recognize that despite it all, they made it out of their room today.

Part of what makes anxiety and depression such hard disorders to manage is that they are your outlook on the world, and when you're drowning in them it feels impossible to stop and ask yourself "why would my friends care more about brownies than getting me out of the house for the first time in a month" (which can feel self-invalidating to ask, or too harsh for social anxiety feels, i fully acknowledge that) or, "why do brownies matter more than seeing my friends"

And we get so used to sitting in our shame, that managing the shame becomes its own step in symptom management that personally I never heard addressed outside of DBT group. But to make lifestyle changes, you need to be consistent. And building consistency is hard, and will never be 100% perfect. But if you want to build consistency, then you have to be in a place where bad days and stumbles and bedrot days can happen, be accepted, and then start the next day determined to try. And that's hard when you're expecting to make a sudden about face into a new lifestyle and then feel better. You'll set goals too high, you'll miss them, you'll restart the shame spiral.

And I get that. I feel like part of "recovery" from mood disorders includes, unfortunately, hitting that rock bottom. Bc you can't start climbing out until you are certain it's the best choice you can make for yourself.

But it still annoys me that ppl are now also going after the "unfortunately that advice is true" ppl, bc now they're not just dismissing the advice, they're invalidating the ppl who are very clearly telegraphic that they are in this chronic struggle with you. Would someone who only experiences occasional episodes of mild depression or anxiety open with the vibes of "unfortunately, that advice we all had crammed down our throats until we were sick of it actually does help"? Or would that be coming from someone who has had to experience the ego death of making a gradual lifestyle change and noticing improvement in their symptoms.

Oh look it’s a portrait of me from August 2023.

I never intended for good omens to become a hyper fixation yet here we are.

Hi all,

I’m running a virtual Trauma-Informed Yoga Therapy Group for adults 18+ living in Colorado in May. We’ll be meeting Wednesdays for 10 weeks at 6:15pm MT starting May 1st. I’m accepting insurances (Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Medicaid) and self-pay clients. Please share with any other folks you think would benefit from somatic interventions through Yoga Therapy to (re)connect with their bodies in an encouraging way, centering autonomy, agency, and choice. If you or others have any questions or interest, please email me at OvercomingTrauma@proton.me

Thank you!
