Yay, Manic Depression combined with Anxiety and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is SUCH a great combination
My mind is SCREAMING that I *have* to craft, create, bake, draw, sew, ANYTHING.
My fatigue is putting a blanket over me and whispers that I was at the barn this morning and at chour practise, so I'm titally exhaudted and spent all my spoons for today (and my polyneuropathy is fucking up my typing abilities, i'm not gonna correct them because it's fitting here)
My anxiety is running rampant in my head muttering 'but if I don't craft/sew/draw RIGHT NOW, what is my value as a huma being. I am a burden to society. I can never adk for anything because I give nothing in return.
It's... great. Really.

invisible scars (referenced previous talkĀ here)
[ID: A colourless, digital Trigun comic of Vash and Wolfwood talking about Wolfwood's scars. They're both laying in bed and topless. Vash lays on top of Wolfwood, playing with the rosary around his neck. Then, Vash kisses a spot on Wolfwood's chest. Wolfwood asks, "What are you doing?" Vash smiles sadly, "You got shot here. In the last town we visited. You didn't even bother moving."
Vash props himself up over Wolfwood, who frowns slightly. Wolfwood is quiet for a moment before he says, "You remember that, huh?" Vash grabs Wolfwood's left wrist and brings it to his face. "And here." He kisses another spot there. "When you helped free the hostages from that robber..." Wolfwood dismissively says, looking away, "Was a lucky shot." Vash huffs, āDonāt brag. Jeez.ā
Half of Wolfwood's expression is shown, eyes returning to Vash who is now sitting up, continuing to say, "And..." Vash goes on and kiss Wolfwood's right palm. "You got cut here, even though that girl was aiming at me." A moment from the past flashes, of Wolfwood grabbing a knife aimed at Vash, his hand bleeding.
At present, Vash moves down and puts another kiss on Wolfwood's right shoulder. "And here, from watching my back." Another memory flashes of Wolfwood and Vash back to back. Vash looks back as Wolfwood grins while holding Punisher, bleeding from multiple gunshots in his shoulder.
"And," Vash combs up Wolfwood's hair to reveal his forehead, "Here." A final memory shows Wolfwood with a regeneration vial in his mouth while getting shot on his temple. The next panel is framed in blood with Vash at the center, eyes wide and stunned in horror. The next panel is a closed up shot of Wolfwood's eye, locked on Vash's face.
Back to present, Vashās head is bowed down as Wolfwood raises a hand to his nape and says, āSpikey.ā
Wolfwood looks serious and frowns as he says, "We talked about this. Those were my decisions. They're not there anymore. Forget about them." Vash looks very sad before he smiles ruefully and says, "I still see them. All the time." He leans down so they touch foreheads. Wolfwoodās sorrowful expression can be seen as Vash says, "You protect so much. I could never forget what you've done to me. And many others..."
In the last image, they're drawn more cartoonishly. Wolfwood sweats and asks, "You don't actually remember every wound, right?" Vash points at a spot on his chest. "Kuroneko left a scratch here 7 times." Wolfwood, startled, says, "Why the hell are you keeping countā" End ID]

#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#another scars comic for one of the vw week days!!!! frankly i think about their scars WAY too often . most notably wolfwood's because#it really symbolizes a lot for him imo bc for vash it's a history of all the people that's ever harmed him betrayed him and the trust he has#given to humanity despite it all. its a beautiful reflection of his character and then u look at ww and presumably#since we dont really see him half naked Ever (shame) and i mean. i guess technically its a hc -- i assume he wouldn't have any scars bc#of the regen potions (which is why he doesnt have his t scars btw the regen pot took them away :pensive:)#in a way its like washing his hands of blood. giving him the body of someone who might never been involved in a fight never held a gun#but he knows thats not true yet he cant really do anything about it anyway bc he's still just human. if he stops taking the regen pots#he can't press forward. so its just a rinse and repeat and growing accustomed to whats inflicted on him because he knows it'll go away at#the end of the day. he's human but he's also not he's far beyond what could be considered a normal human but he still just is.#mortal but also not immortal. idk. i overthink about it a lot GMSKGMDK frankly i dont think it matters THAT much in the context of trimax#but it means a lot to me somehow. also thinking about how no matter how many times ww kills he's never numb to the sensation of it. maybe#the adrenaline gets to him for the beginning half but ive been rereading like.. vol 3? and that entire fight for ww#u can slowly see him spiral as he keeps on going on. anyway anyway. i love ww#ruporas art

T shirt that says I still have social issues and trauma from things that happened over a decade ago
#captainās log#I am getting back in to therapy to process things dw#I just find myself in these spaces and spiraling#because of how much I want to be friends with people or want people to like me#to think Iām fine and normal even or worthwhile but that feeling of wanting to be friends or needing to somehow#in the nebulous space of interaction irl or social media try to cut through and#communicate my personality my worth and my desire for friendship all while risking rejecting#rejection* feels impossible and is within itself very triggering#especially because I get stuck in these spaces of always feeling stupid ugly and like an 11 year old kid who doesnāt understand#but just feels like somethings WRONG with them and keeps saying the wrong things when he tries to make people like him#and that assumed wrongness which begates assumed rejection only makes the spiral worse#hi I will be okay I am fine I am just like. struggling and wanting to not feel weird or stupid or annoying#my last two work environments have been incredibly unprofessional and toxic which I think has triggered all of this#several people I worked with in both places have compared it to high school so I think thereās that#also Iāve made some fantastic and really cool new friends and I feel so frightened of rejection and so unworthy of friendship#also if I ever donāt respond to people it is because I panic and shutdown! haha sorry about that#Iām starting EDMR again this fall so hopefully I will see a turn around#I also think my anti-depressants have stopped working. also thinking about taking my psych up on the referral for Ketemine#anyway sorry Iāll be fine Iām going to wake Will up now so Iām not alone jdkdkskssksksks also eat something

I think the routine my new job is giving me has been really good for my mental health but it's funnier to say Ive been too tired to be mentally ill
#like work is bearable when ur getting paid to do something you enjoy and ur coworkers are nice etc#also somehow lucked out working at a library where im encouraged to listen to music while im working in the stacks???#thats still wild to me i can use my noise cancelling blutooth headphones while im shelving books and not get in trouble for it#im having the most consistent sleep schedule ive had since i hit puberty. 7-7.5h of sleep nearly every day#had two days of 6h sleep but it was fine im used to running on 5 š im too tired to stay up spiraling into breakdowns !!#i get into bed and im asleep in less than an hour š ive even stopped waking up hours before my alarm im sleeping thru the night#waking up is another story tho i hate waking up at 7am its so hard to eat and get out the door in 45mins when my brain is still booting up#anyway its 11pm im going to bed goodnight everyone ily ā¤ļøš«

oh yeah not sure where we're at w money btw. we might be able to get some of it back but we wont know anything concrete until friday
#the fey speaks#which is why i haven't been reblogging the d0n0 post#like. i got $115 total and we Do need to buy groceries before friday and also some of it has already been spent on gas for getting to work#so what i'm saying is the support i got so far has already be immensely helpful#i am just not sure how much more help i will need or by when. or anything. until friday.#and i'd hate to keep askin only to end up not needing it ig. that said if anyone still wants to send me a few bucks while understanding tha#i won't say no. there are many things i need money for in this world rn. like a new belt. been thinking abt a cane. but idk how much it#would help so i haven't been able to justify the cost to myself#but like. there's probably better things you could be doing with your money rn.#also its been really hard for me to get info bc no one (my parents. whose bank acct it was.) wants to fucking talk about it#like. i live here too idk i think i should be allowed to know like what days bills are due and exactly how much they cost!#bc originally i was told (by my mom) that Literally All of our bills were due this past monday. and we would have#no power water or gas. but we still do. somehow. so idfk#and she won't talk to me abt it if i ask she just Stops Responding or walks away#and if i try to ask dad he just responds āi don't knowā or starts crying. or like self loathing spiral#so basically. even if we get 100% of the original money back#its ALSO possible we will have a shit tone of late fees and overdraft fees to pay. no clue : )

I wish my brain wasn't so sucks
#im ok to br clear. i just struggle to place any value at all on my own opinions#therapist says something about my parents and peers demeaning me for my every thought as a child. or something#which makes sense#its just that i know objectively its silly right?#like if someone says Finn from AT sucks and they cant stand the show because of it#like character opinions are the mlst subjective thing ever!! its literally so okay!!! calm down!! arggf#objective brain knows thats fine and literally doesn't matter#but that knowledge doesnt stop me from spiraling in a way that sometimes takes like a half hour to bring myself down from#or to like convince myself people dont hate me for my preferences and I'm not somehow an iredeemably bad person for liking the wrong cartoon#and this is no ones fault. again its fine and something im getting better at dealing with#i just wish it wasnt so hard. and i wish i didjt feel like a dumbass every time it happened#bit of a vent! sorry!! im just having a tough week and little things have been . worse#baz talks

sick of making plans with a specific friend only for her to not reach out abt actually hanging out until the afternoon after iāve waited all day to hear back from her or for her to just cancel last minute entirely after iāve again waited all day to hear back from her
#like i genuinely fucking get that sometimes life is exhausting and youāre tired and sometimes you need to take care of urself before hanging#out with people but for it to be so fucking consistent is exhausting for ME#we donāt even fucking make plans that often itās literally maybe once a fucking month if that#like youāre telling me somehow whenever we have plans thatās when youāre SOOOOOO exhausted ?????? but you left the house 39203 other times#to do shit that takes up way more mental capacity than sitting bat your house smoking weed for a while and catching up?????#i just donāt fucking get it dude i really donāt#if i make plans with someone and the day of i donāt want to anymore i always tell them right fucking away so they donāt spend all day waitin#around and planning their entire day around it just to get fucked over#idk iām just frustrated and probably need to eat something and iāll be less angry#iām just like. upset bc i donāt understand why she only ever seems to cancel on me or only seems to be soooooo exhausted when itās the day#we planned to hang out like i just think itās unfair to me and i Have expressed this in general before so itās like ok cool#thanks for taking my own feelings and time into consideration ššš#like i literally love and adore my friends more than life itself and it just hurts and is shitty when someone doesnāt act the same even tho#theyāve said the opposite idk#i genuinely hope i donāt sound like a dick right now bc i truly really understand when ppl are mentally exhausted or deal with chronic issue#issues* bc fucking SAME HERE I ALSO DEAL WITH ALL RHAT so itās like idk i just donāt wanna sound like a dick i am just upset iām not feeling#like iām loved the same as i love people idk this always happens to me i feel like i just love too much and i over project and then when i#donāt get the same things in return i feel like people actually donāt like me or secretly are tryin to separate from me idk itās shitty i#hate it so bad i want a normal brain this shitnfucking sucks#my brain is going too hard now tho i need to stop before i spiral for real right here right now on tumblr dot com

super fucking pissed off at how incredibly Neat a metaphor is "when the heat starts growing horns / she's thunderstorms"
#sophaerostxt#arctic monkeys#lyrically sias feels very close to my own poetry i feel so every time i listen to it i get enraged bc it's like. these are lines i could#have come up with if i was just that bit better ARGHHH#but also i feel like i'll never be on his level#like it's soo it's such an elegant line somehow look at that imagery#idk why this particular line always sticks with me..aside from the fact that he sings it very distinctly#this post brought to you by i watched the making of sias video and had to stop a minute it bc i started spiraling#alex turner....WATCH TF OUT#or more like sias is what i Wish my poetry was like

a few years ago I lowkey wanted to start an askblog based off of our OCs and that hankering comes back sometimes. itās weird how different of a headspace I am in compared to then
#I think the closet thing Iāll do is like QnAs at the end of every chapter if ppl are interested#im at fault for ppl losing interest because I rarely used Tumblr these last few years except to doompost abt the comic#I would lose interest too#but. I have a very good feeling rn#and not just right now Iāve had it for a while#this last year Iāve done things I never thought I could do#I went to college after not going tot school for 6 years#I have a 4.0 gpa#im managing my chronic pain#I drew again adter a massive art block#I went to New York#I walked nearly everyday after being inside for 6 years#walking miles instead of a measly 100 steps a day if even that#I met people and am making friends after being terrified of outside#i celebrated 6 years with the love of my life#I didnāt think Iād make it past 13 much less 18. Iām 24 and I have a future#and shit is scary#I canāt act like it isnāt. the world is in a constant state of chaos and Americas downwards spiral has no intention of stopping but#im here somehow#my professor told me (and by extension chevy) to just keep making art and thatās what Iām going to do

i think ill just go to bed early and maybe ill wake up with enough time to comfortably eat breakfast before work for once
#not like i have the motivation to do anything#productive or otherwise#is this just something i have to build up a resistance to? build up a tolerance to this feeling of isolation?#is it something i need to fix? should fix? *can* fix?#God knows ive tried to and i just cant get anything to last more than a few years before deteriorating#either because theyre moving on in their life and leaving me behind (which i cant fault anyone for)#or i somehow fuck it up by missing social cues and make people uncomfortable#theres a lot more nuance of course but the majority of my friend āgroupsā have resulted in either of these#i just miss it i guess. being asked to participate in stuff and having at least one person available to talk to anytime and just feeling#like i belong#and i gotta stop because i know this is just gonna make me spiral#which is why i think sleeping is the most productive thing i think i could do.#man. this hurts.

I love brown eyes, my grandfather had brown eyes and had the softest look in his eyes. I wish I had brown eyes too
#how come all the relatives I hate are still alive abd the only comfy one has died#because he was tired of the nonsense#slow death of an alcoholic#he once stopped drinking for 3 years when he had a heart attack but lived#and then spiraled back into drinking#and I don't blame him I would too#at least I'm happy that he's resting now and doesn't have to worry every day about the war and shit#that's no way to live#I know I knew nothing about him but he was literally the comfiest guy amongst my flesh n blood relatives#he's resting but I'm not and I should have called him a day before he died#I wanted to call BUT FUCKING FORGOT#I can't stand the feeling of loss#and my soul died with the ones I loved#keeping my head empty all the time and letting go of the need to somehow stabilise my mood swings#the darkest void inside won't go away and I know I can't hide it I can't run I can't escape it#just pitch black#smells.like.a.freakshow

People in the notes have said physical therapist Akihiko and ohohoho you fools you fucking clowns you donāt even know. Imagine Shinji getting out of the coma and all the rehabilitation shit heās gotta do all the physical therapy like you just know Akihiko is so fucking over the moon heās done so much research heās so excited to see Shinji have a ātraining regimeā he infodumps about whatās happening with the muscle recovery process and what stretches work best hes just way too invested he talks over doctors and Shinji is just like āgood god if you know so much why donāt you just be a physical therapistā and Akihikoās like š
Akihiko becoming a cop is something that simply doesnāt happen in the coma route cuz Shinji would see that shit and be like Aki what the actual hell is wrong with you
#like he does feel upset seeing shinji in such a vulnerable state and struggling with everything#but it does get overshadowed by excitement mitsuru is like āplease he just got out of a coma stop being so pushy šµāš«ā#hes just so invested he gets to learn so much shit he never even considered before its so interesting#and i think itd be very important that hes much more aware of like limits this time cuz a big strain in his relationship with shinji was#aki being pushy and not understanding shinjis limits and shinji being bad at letting himself have limits and communicating them#and like its very important not to push too hard when recovering from a coma cuz itll just make things worse#its a big adjustment for both of them cuz akihiko definitely has always been told to push harder past limits and to always try to be#stronger and not let yourself stop and its more important now than ever to unlearn that attitude#and shinji is so all or nothing like he either quits too fast or pushes to the point of destruction without communicating anything#so its very easy for him to get trapped in a hopeless spiral when things take time and then get desperate and try too hard#but he gets a lot of encouragement from everyone this time and its sooo weird and annoying and overwhelming but it is nice#also quick tangent like really pisses me off when ppl write shinji just like MIRACULOUSLY SPRINGING OUT of the coma like he just pops awake#gets up and starts running to do shit which tbf the game does it too but its like dude hes been in a like 6 month coma#im not an expert i still got a lotta research to do but i mean theres so much shit hes gonna go through#even if theres no like brain damage youre still gonna have to relearn basic stuff like eating breathing walking and like. general awareness#of your surroundings and who you are and what happened to you and 6 months is so long too so its gonna be rough#im not saying you gotta give him like brain damage but damn at least establish that recovery is lengthy and difficult#his ass is not walking around!!!#also hes still got a lot of mental illness and like did get shot fully believing he deserved to die so like hes also gotta lot of mental#health recovery to be doing like unless he somehow has some magical therapy coma dreams things arent gonna be perfect peachy for him#i get wanting to make everything happy but idk personally i think id rather it be gradual and a struggle cuz its more realistic and like#i think having this character just miraculously be fine is such a disservice like i think he deserves to have love and hope for him even#when its difficult cuz his life will never be easy heāll never be free from the trauma but that doesnt mean his life isnt worth living#and him being loved unconditionally even though hes a āburdenā is so so important to me#i just hate the laziness like wheres the love man wheres the genuine character appreciation#anyway physical therapist aki its canon now hed be so so good at it and hes got personal experience

Definitely didn't mean to make you feel bad about wanting that! As I think you realize, but just making sure. And yeah again, I worry too quickly. Just wanted to send you some encouragement in case you needed it. I'll leave you to it, keep destieling destie! (Let me make up words okay š
)
it's all good, anon! I am just glad we talked about it! thank you for being patient like that, that's nothing I take for granted :)
and I will try! I don't know if you are a big spn fan yourself, but if so, I hope you'll do the same! have a good day!
#and please. feel free to come into my inbox whenever#I don't mind talking about these things#and I appreciate your encouragement. I might have taken the spiraling thing too serious (I get a bit defensive when people try to tell me#how I am feeling or what my intentions are etc) that's definitely on me and I know that this wasn't your intention at all#I think it's super difficult to talk through asks anyway. but I feel like we made it work!#thank you for stopping by and leaving your asks in the first place :)#and I mean. it's been very obvious that I have been going through a bit of a rough time and trying to deal with a bit of a broken heart#but I am making it work somehow#i hope...#asks
