Vi and Caitlyn watch the zeppelin departing, the vast shadow filled with Noxian elite returning to the Immortal Bastion.

Vi rocks back and forth a little, heel to toe. She breaks the silence first with a, “So... you get to ask ‘im about the, uh...”

Caitlyn shakes her head, tucks her chin minutely. “But his answer was no, regardless.”

“You sure?”

Caitlyn follows the arching, swooping flight of the flock of Noxian ravens, the birds following in the wake of the departing zeppelin. According to her count, there’s three more than there had been when the delegation arrived.

“I am quite sure,” she says.

Black feathers and white clouds. It brings to mind a chess set. She used to be good at chess. But she’s a civil servant, not a politician, and the game has changed to something else since the fall of the Institute of War.

Caitlyn continues, quietly, “Why would Noxus give up what they believe is rightfully theirs?”

You’ve got to forgive yourself for being traumatized and needing to learn how to function again. 

Recovery isn’t always nightmares and depression, it’s forgetting to eat, being scared of what others might see as completely normal things, it’s getting random panic attacks, not knowing how to take care of yourself, not knowing how to live like an adult, even if you’re twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, of feeling like you’re failing to function in a world where everyone seems to have their shit together. 

If you need help, ask for it. Go to forums and ask for advice. Take advantage of community resources. Buy pre-sliced veggies and fruits, eat instant meals if you can’t cook for yourself today. Hire someone. Ask a neighbor for a favor. Buy any item you think might make life easier, even if you feel like you aren’t ‘disabled’ enough to have it. 

Some of the depression posts (ie open your windows, take a shower, go outside, call a friend) are really helpful but they’re not always enough. I’ve found advice for spoonies, people with chronic pain or other disabilities have the best tips because they know what it’s like to be bedridden, out of energy, stuck in a brain fog. 

You may never return back to the energy you had when you were younger and you might always need to use crutches to help you through life. It’s the same with medication. 

Trauma is a real thing that happens to you, it physically alters your brain and it’s alright to have lasting scars. 

You’re not broken, your life is not over and you can still be happy. 

It’s not your fault.

been having a serious physical health problem for many years that is recently very quickly getting worse and as I undergo more tests and procedures while the problem actively gets worse, I got stuck having a serious talk about "purchasing at home accommodations" while they figure out whats wrong with my stomach and work out a treatment plan, because the costs of hospitalizing me for further testing/treatment instead for the unforeseeable futurewould ruin me, so I'm looking up some of the things she suggested, pricing shit out, and god half of this stuff was already out of the question because I am still displaced and man, and this is still technically cheaper than hospital bills, but I simply cannot save up/raise the money to get any of this in a timely manner

clinging onto these pictures like a fucking lifeline right now honestly. the pearl necklace. buttons' jacket. the slow but sure process of shedding the skin of blackbeard and becoming "just edward" once more. the proof that ed is not lost, it's a long road but he's finding himself again and most importantly he's trying. he's been forgiven by the crew, he's one of them again. they're lending him their clothes. he's wearing little gifts from stede. he's happy and he's healing and he has FRIENDS. he really is going to be ok ohhhhhhhh

meals for this week:

i missed 5 days of work bc i was out of town for bianca's birthday last week so it's going to be extra scrappy cooking this week (thank u god for giving me a freezer <3)

a golden roasted mushroom pasta dish with goat cheese and lemon and chives, i want to use some kind of short pasta shape with lots of chew to it :3

i've got a whole chicken in the freezer, i want to make another roast chicken with potatoes and then cook some dinosaur kale in the schmaltz, i made it a bit too salty last time but it was DELICIOUS so i know how to adjust my seasoning a little bit better now

i have a big bag of shrimp i had to freeze a couple weeks ago so i am thinking of poaching some juicy shrimp with herbs and lemon and garlic and ginger and putting it on top of some cold noodles, either with a spicy sesame or spicy peanut sauce, with shredded cabbage and tons of herbs

i also will make a caramelized onion, sausage, and egg breakfast sandwich for dinner with hot sauce and arugula, it's fast and easy and savory and sooo filling and delicious and i already have a tube of breakfast sausage in the freezer i can thaw

getting chocolate covered strawberry supplies bc even tho we agreed to not spend money on gifts for each other for valentine's day, i still want 2 decorate and make a little treat for my gf

Meetings, meetings, so many meetings. Personal discussions with various constables and fleetfooters. Escorting the triumphant Jax and his trophies to the YASP. Visitations to the border, protecting the politicians who continue to press the Noxian camp and the Zaunite powers that refuse to relinquish the lands west and south of Grimdark. Physical therapy, acknowledging the burden she has put on her body. Promises kept at the end of every tenday. Interviewing the new recruits and the officers granted new positions in the Commissary rank and file. A baby shower for Kelly, as the woman’s belly swells to fullness. Pre-spring concerts. Charity bake sales. Communication with distant friends through mirror and hexphone. On and on and on, seeing to the commitments she has made to her nation, her people, her responsibilities.

Caitlyn exhales in the chill air. It is here, finally, miles from Piltover City, that she allows herself to step away from the metaphorical loom - the design is taking shape, and she knows it, and soon all will see what her work has lead to.

“Don’t run yourself ragged, babydoll.” Her father looks at her in concern, as they walk together in the snow. They each carry a rifle on their shoulder; they both have grey in their hair.

Caitlyn smiles slightly, a wry twist to her lips. She wishes she could tell him. But not yet. Instead, she reaches for his hand, like she did when she was a child. He squeezes back.

They walk hand in hand up to the mountain cabin. Decades ago, Aaron taught his daughter how to use a rifle here, how to aim and shoot and make every moment count. Caitlyn is still his daughter; she has not forgotten any of his lessons. 

It’s been too long since they’ve hunted together. It’s been even longer since she’s taken a weekend off. There’s room in the design for it, though. There’s room in her life for it. If only she had known it sooner.

ths game easy as hell

[dredshirtroberts]

yeah guys idk I'm just thinking maybe the lightheadedness and desire to sit down about halfway through putting away groceries my whole life might not have just been a reaction to the way my parents were when i was a kid and the accompanying anxiety and sudden flurry of movement, but also possibly maybe i have a Health Thing about this...

AN OPEN LETTER to THE PRESIDENT & U.S. CONGRESS; STATE GOVERNORS & LEGISLATURES

Say NO to Loony-Bins: Immediate Action Required for Inpatient Psychiatric Care

2 so far! Help us get to 5 signers!

The current model of inpatient psychiatric care, which primarily focuses on safety and crisis stabilization, falls short in promoting sustained recovery. The prevalent emphasis on ultrashort lengths of stay often overlooks the need for comprehensive treatment plans.

A proposed model of care advocates for rapid diagnosis, goal-setting, and treatment modalities before initiating treatment, organized into three distinct phases: assessment, implementation, and resolution. This approach emphasizes individualized treatment and active patient involvement in treatment planning, addressing critical psychosocial aspects that are frequently neglected.

As we strive to reform the mental health care system, it's imperative to prioritize effective, recovery-oriented treatment strategies. This includes ensuring patient comfort and preferences are accommodated within reason. Considering patient preferences, like comfort items (such as safe stuffed animals; Share-Bears, if you will) and rescue medications (like melatonin,) is essential to upholding rigorous standards of care and safety.

Let's advocate for reforms that enhance patient-centered practices while adhering to established treatment guidelines and advancing recovery-oriented care.

Say no to “loony-bins;” those archaic relics that should be relegated to the distant past.
