#dealing with pms and seasonal depression at the same time?#a nightmare#i have work to be done#and i am excited about said work#but at the same time life's feeling a tad cataclysmic and i don't have the energy/motivation for anything#oh and everything i'm feeling is amped up#so dealing with people today?#not what i want for myself thanks#it just drains me like nothing else#i don't expect anyone to understand#but some compassion/empathy would be nice y'know

I don't know... horrible things happen all around the world and it's not a competition
Atrocities are committed against multiple groups in multiple parts of the world at the exact same moment, and none of them erase each other. They all matter, all the people in this world who are being brutalized matter. There shouldn't be any line you draw where one group doesn't actually matter as much as another
You're welcome to prioritize your energy towards helping one group or another, but what's not ok is invalidating or dismissing people who are actively being harmed
Same goes for trying to figure out which social group has things worst (and lets be honest, always using a US lens)
Like... maybe the important thing is to prop each other up and help everyone get on their own feet rather than trying to... pick fights about if physical disabilities or mental illness are less respected (I'm trying to pick a more absurd example but sadly I've seen exactly that argument happen before). Maybe it doesn't really matter and what matters is helping who we can when we can
I'm tired of it, I'm just fucking tired of it. Support people, champion them when the world is just brutalizing them, but you don't need to throw a single other person under the bus to do that
Which seems to be an absolutely impossible lesson for people to learn
#I won't say anything else on this; but I will say that to me one of the groups that it feels like is most forgotten is Syrians#including by me if I'm honest#I don't know what's currently happening in Syria... but... my understanding is it still hasn't really gotten better#assad is still brutalizing people last I had heard#so rather than saying anything else I'd prefer to simply focus on some people it feels like were forgotten back during Obama#and... and have remained forgotten#and I'm sorry I can't do more to help with the suffering in the world#but... you notice what I'm not having to do here?#I'm not having to throw a single other person under the bus#I'm able to just focus on how much I wish for Syrians to be ok (which is a hollow gesture on my part in many ways I think)#and I can keep all the focus on Syrians rather than throwing anyone else under the bus or doing any whataboutism#and that's literally all I'm asking of you fucking people#don't downplay human misery to try and make your thing seem more important#they're both fucking important... they're all important#there's so much suffering I can't even keep up with it#there's so much of it that I can only name without knowing the details; Congo; I believe Sudan is still suffering; Haiti#I don't know how things are in Ethiopia right now... I can't keep track#and none of these situations and the horrible things they're dealing with; things I haven't even been able to follow#none of it detracts from and of the issues I am following more closely#I don't need to compare them and say 'well it's not as bad'; because... bad is bad and any is too much#and nothing I say here will do a damn thing; no one'll hear and even if they did they'd ignore it or get pissed#that's what my evidence shows me about how people behave#but suffering isn't a competition; the correct amount is zero#and... perhaps I'd have more tolerance if I hadn't watched how you behave with stuff#...the worst part is the person I adore who... man... I wish I could just get them to really think through their words#they mean well; they're coming from a place of love; but I just haven't been able to paint the picture for them of the harm#and I'm flawed; I don't have all the answers; I could be wrong here#but... can you at least see why I feel that maybe we shouldn't pit misery against each other#that the people suffering have more in common with each other than opposed and... maybe westerners aren't fucking helping#eh... too fucking drained thinking about this; end of tags

i have been very sociable since starting the new school yr vs last yr where i was like not lmfao & i was wondering why that was bc i was a lot more sociable in college and then after starting law school i was like avoiding ppl again for no reason and having a lot of trouble being like idk normal talking to ppl bc it’s like i get really 😐 and i will not give anything to ppl i’m talking to which is truly not me at all personality wise but it is smth i struggle w…..but anyway i was thinking to myself why am i doing so much better like i am quite honestly being more sociable than i have ever been in my life now when not much has changed & i had just majorly regressed but i think i was just really emotionally drained last yr for several reasons and i know the reason i was like that in high school was bc i was stuck living w my dad & that was so mentally/emotionally draining that doing everything including talking to other ppl was so difficult and i was very closed off to ppl bc of that & i think i was going thru a similar experience of emotional/mental exhaustion last yr that just made me really drained & not able to be normal around other ppl 😭 bc the only thing that is different abt me now from a few months ago is that i have really been able to let go of certain things that have been causing me a lot of mental distress for a while & even tho i have been dealing w depression issues as always i have been in a way better place emotionally even if not so much mentally & i have been able to be so much more comfortable interacting w ppl & being myself & not being so closed off it’s very nice 😌 i actually feel normal now & it is helping w my depression a lot too bc having that issue again was making my depression a lot worse too. but basically i feel like a normal person again after spending the past yr feeling extremely uncomfortable & not in control of myself bc of how i couldn’t make myself act normal & being all closed off even tho i didn’t want to be. so i love that for me 😊
#michelle speaks#like legit nothing else has changed other than me being less emotionally drained so i think that’s 100% what it was#bc i was so unable to like just behave normally. like i get completely socially locked up it’s very frustrating#bc it’s like i want to just be comfortable & normal but i’m just unable to do that#like u know how normally u just talk to someone & have a convo. imagine trying to do that but ur like 😐 and ur in ur head like a normal#person but ur face is going 😐 and all u can do is give really brief responses & be visibly uncomfortable#& it’s draining for u to do that & u feel embarrassed so u avoid ppl all the time#that is somewhat what it’s like. but i have legit been THE most normal socially interacting w ppl i have ever been recently#like even talking to ppl i have never spoken w before i’m like so normal & sociable it’s great#not even uncomfortable being myself at my externship either which is a huge leap for me i have always been uncomfortable in work spaces#so really i am doing very well rn. i really do think i was just so emotionally drained i couldn’t deal w anything else. so yeah.

((what is everyone's least favorite chore mine is laundry
#ooc#((like... its just so energy intensive#((like my laundry room is in the basement so i have to lug my laundry downstairs#((and don't get me started on actually putting it into the washing machine#((and then i have to bring it upstairs#((and then i have to fold it#((drains my energy like nothing else#((i actually don't mind dishes too much as long as the sink is clean (if its gross i won't do it lmao)#((i have mixed feelings on vacuuming... it is satisfying but. loud noise is sensory bad :(#((if i wear my earbuds its at least tolerable. and its much easier on my back than sweeping

tbh i think i just need to get into a media thatll shake me to my core the way me revisiting p//andora hearts at a crucial time shook me
#nothing will top how ph means a lot to me seriously adklfakdah#i can talk forever about why oz means a lot to me but why would i do that actually thatd be terrible adslkjfahl#if you need a character thats very very essential to me its oz honestly alsjkdfalkjs#i feel like thats REALLY ALL YOU NEED everyone else is just little snippets#but anyways!#some evil part of my brain is like 'hon//kai can be that for you and im fighting for my life'#'its not allowed to.'#i mean i was already feeling it with ch 9 ex bro i had to go lay down watching kiana in that chapter holy fuck man asdlkfjahl#but yeah idk i feel like....if i was able to dedicate more time to finishing up pt 1 i think honkai COULD have that potential. i sense it#it gives me the same levels of interest as like p//andora hearts and n//ier so 👀#but yeah anyways. i just need something to shake my life from its pedestal#thats another thing i kinda miss#i think its just that bc of how much all this has drained me#its been harder to really enjoy things that i ACTUALLY enjoy doing#the only thing i got going for me are my dumb comics bc thats low energy + i dont care if it looks super bad theyre funny to me#i guess i just miss being super passionate about interests#augh#snow speaks#i am feeling a lot better now but ig thats only if i just focus on doing things i like

like i just don't get it
#everyone has someone except for me#everyone has a loving partner or at least one close friend if not a whole group#someone who actually wants to fucking talk to them. spend time with them. someone who cares. makes an effort#i don't understand what's wrong with me#even if people are nice to me or at least not explicitly rude#it seems like no one wants to form a deeper connection with me and i just. don't know what i'm doing wrong#i've tried being normal i've tried embracing being weird#nothing ever works. there's no one for me. i don't get it#i've been trying so so hard for so long to be brave and put myself out there and try#and just. i'm still alone#i have nobody and i'm starting to realize i never will. i have no goals for the future. i have nothing#what's the point anymore ....#talking to the wall rn. i know no one cares. if anything i just bum everyone here out and annoy them#i have no one online i have no one irl. i just have fucking nobody and i'm tired and i'm scared and don't understand what i'm doing wrong#i want to go take a shower. slice myself up with a razor and watch blood swirl down the drain just to feel something else rn#there's literally no hope for me#i don't want to keep doing everything alone. i'm not strong enough to keep going like this. i'd rather just die#snow.txt

#running face first straight into every single rejection sensitive wall atm and it's so frustrating#like. can we just not do this rn brain? I'm too tired to deal with this on top of everything else#all it does is make me alienate myself from people I care about and make me feel like shit afterwards#and it doesn't fix any of the underlying issues either. (like. I've been upset about ppl not doing what I do)#(as in read all of my fic like I try to read all my friends' fic usually. but like.. not everyone can and not everyone wants to)#(but it's one of those irrational things of 'if they cared about me wouldn't they also try' even tho that's not a fair ask)#(and like.. most people don't read random fic for fandoms they're not even in so this is entirely stupid to be upset about)#(but here we are anyway)#just.. me. raw to the very nerve and too tired to fix anything that might help alleviate it#I just want to feel normal again. and like I have control over my emotional state#but between 'dude fucked up bc of his borderline being triggered by grief and letting out all his frustrations on me for weeks'#and 'other dude grieving but not processing and not even taking a break to figure out where he's at emotionally..#..therefore dropping all of his unprocessed baggage and his part of the group work right on top of me' I'm just having a heck of a month#and idk. it would have been nice to talk to sb about my fic even if it's older now and not the best perhaps#(doesn't help when everybody you know writes really great fic and you're just outside the door scribbling some ideas into the sand)#idk. usually I do better in disconnecting self-worth and accomplishments and stop myself before the comparisons with others start#but rn it's all too much and I'm drained and exhausted and nothing feels good or helps much at all.#anyway.#it is what is I guess. and what it is is fucked and I doubt it's gonna change anytime soon.#that's not me being unrealistic or depression talking. it's based on how things have progressed thus far#there's another year and a half of this kind of stress which will likely get worse when our group grows from 18 to 31 in October#and then I'd have to start working proper again which I haven't in over two years bc of all the rehabilitation I've been going through#and it's terrifying and I'm already exhausted and worn down and worn out and I just don't know how normal is ever gonna be my life again

Man I just wanted to watch a silly video and draw a little bit before I had to wake up at ten am, but people can't stop being Weird (deragatory) On The Internet. I'm gonna get less than five hours of sleep on a day where I'll get yelled at if I put in my headphones.
#I've been trying so hard to grind in this Sekai Event too#but I keep losing a shit ton of hours I need to be working on my placing#like it sounds silly in retrospect#no more than someone getting weirdly upset at me for having a personal distaste to a contradicting trans character headcanon#certainly moreso than a six year old being the perpetrator of a shooting#as well as the generalized stigmatizm around mental illness as well as the hypocritical ableism even in the community#but it's so goddamned draining#when nothing has any 'reward'#watching a comfort YouTuber and they casually drop ableist language/the comments using the same language#playing a game that feels helpless and hindering#drawing an art piece that's been such a goddamned struggle and it hardly even looks good#a half joking headcanon post on Tumblr being met with seething passive-aggression#the emptiness of posting quite literally anywhere else#trying to be good enough and trying to be happy and trying to just forget about the goddamned pain for an hour and it doesn't even work#I'm so fucking exhausted

#i think the most annoying quality in someone is trying to get to know them#and they give you NOTHING to work with.#me prying facts and them having a hard time to give you anythinf#as soon as I feel like you give me the entire task of carrying on a conversation#I’m just done and it’s draining#i give the energy given#if you can’t be open with people QUIT SEARCHING and making it someone else’s problem that you can’t open up#get therapy.

lrt to be honest now if i meet someone and they're extremely self loathing i just dont foster that relationship and avoid them. And i left all my friends that did that over the years and now only befriend folks who are like...at least trying to be better. if you're depressed im sorry but we're all fucking depressed and traumatized and just trying to make it through and sometimes that means not adopting relationships with people who are going to make our lives worse. yes thats maybe cruel but like. if someone is just a huge downer all the time why the hell would i want to spend time with them. its different ofc if its a friend who wasnt like that who then falls into that behavior bc then somethings Up, but if i meet someone new and they just talk about hating themselves all the time and act extremely traumatized and panicked and people pleasery its like. annoying. i dont have the ability to help these people and if i get involved im just gonna end up drained and miserable. sorry your life sucks but im not dealing with that. adios.
#one of my hottest takes tbh#i used to adopt many friends like this bc i wanted to help everybody#and every single one was draining as fuck and i grew to hate being around them bc it was just CONSTANT misery and bad vibes#its just not worth it#and while friendships arent transactional they never give anything back. they just take time and energy and effort and they vent at you etc#and in return they do. nothing. bc theyre so wrapped up in their own misery they dont even consider anybody else's needs or feelings#idk what the solution is but its not hanging out with me lol

I was working on my new experimental writing project any way. It's something I wanted to try since well, I have waited way too long already to not do something.
It's historic fiction, it's a dramatic family epic with a lesbian lead character.
#all I wanted was to be a writer#other people pushed the idea of being teacher on me a lot#just because I'm a good student does not necessarily mean I'd be a good teacher#I thought maybe professor since it did appeal to my ego a bit I'm not going to lie but honestly my heart is not in it#this just seems draining#school just feels like it's in the way of what I actually want#I just wish I knew how to function in the normal world because I'm very good at school and almost nothing else :/#writeblr#WIP#mychatter#I haven't posted ANYTHING about this new project on here yet#but I might soon since I'm still working on it

Being sick sucks sooo bad man I can even enjoy my delicious homemade shaken espressos with vanilla served in a mason jar because I prefer those to our normal drinking glasses since they're harder to accidentally knock over. And with a reusable straw! No less
#shut up max#but everything hurts to swallow including my own spit. because of woke#and by woke i mean i think its actually largely due to the throat swab i got yesterday#because my throat did NOT hurt this bad until then#i even told them i didnt need that one tested because i dont have tonsils. so it couldnt be strep#and they still tested it and when the doctor came in she was like 'huh sure enough you dont have tonsils! ^_^'#yeah okay awesome. everything hurts to eat and drink now and my nose is bleeding because of the other two swabs. 👍#but hey at least i know its not covid or any variety of the flu. just an unknown viral infection that kicked my ass yayy#i cant complain too much tho because they are treating my fucking up right ear#because it hasnt been draining properly this past year#so anytime i get sick i just get beasted because nothing can drain out of my head right and i just end up miserable for much longer#compared to someone else who is sick with the same thing#also my complaining isnt about being tested itself. its about the way it was done#and the fact they still tested my throat for strep despite me telling them i have no tonsils. and now my throat hurts so bad man
