sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

#I think maybe productivity tips help less if the reason you're unproductive is partially like.. physcial health and other extenral things #out of your control. rather than just like having trouble paying attention or spending too much time on tiktok or whatever #all the strategic to do lists in the world are not going to somehow prevent me from waking up with a debilitating migraine or whatever #or having external stressors or lacking resources and connections or other Productivity Essentials etc.#especially many tips involve stuff like 'cut off from social media' since thats the modern day time waster for so many poeple #and it's like.. lol.. i can hardly even maintain a blog even thuogh i actively WANT TO DO SO. 'shut off your smart phone!' already #done babey i fucking hate smart phones i shall never use an app unless i am forced to. 'delete tiktok' yep. already covered. tiktok and #all of those thinsg are my enemies. 'save money by cancelling some of your services' cool. already ahead of you.#who the fuck is out here paying for like 10 different subscription services. pirated videos uploaded to google drive and youtube to mp3 #my beloved. etc. etc. and so on. 'socialize less' .........LOL.. if only you knew.. mr.writer of the article. i can barely muster #talking to friends more than once a month and even less if I'm actively sick (often occurence) etc. etc. ... hewoo #I think maybe instead of generic productivity tips I need more like.. how to refocus and be productive anyway even if you have a headache #or are nauseous or etc. Not that those are always things to ignore. and of course you should let your body rest and etc. But plenty of peop #e have mild physical symptoms and just work through them. Ithink something about the way my body/mind is SOO hyper attuned to all #sensory information just makes it like... constantly 'GRR well I cant focus on WRITING right now because my lef #t ear feels weird and my socks are too itchy and my back has a strange pressure and I'm vaguely warm and my eye feels some ssort of #way it doesnt normally feel and I'm hyperaware of my breathing and also nauseous for no reason' and like half of those things I #think '''normal''' people wouldnt even notice or at least would be able to just live through. but for me it's like.. nealry impossible to i #gnore and soooo distracting always. like 'wahh.. nooo we can't draw or get anything done.. my legs feel slightly heavy or something!!'#like............. ok......... who cares. thats not even a PAIN sensation it's just something weird. but it's just like.. NO. constant #mental alerts about the 'heaviness' of your legs be upon ye. Though Imean like.. yes.. 70% of the time I am in genuine pain #or having some sort of actual ailment with trackable physical symptoms. but sometimes it's just like... we could totally be working right #now and ignoring this silly thing but my brain is fixated on it for no reason uncontrollably. etc. etc. I guess it's the same way that like #most people can go to a grocery store without the whole experience being so overwhelming and so much stuff going on at once #that they have to rest afterwards but like.. in my own HOME doing NOTHING i feel like I should be able to not get overwhelmed lol. ANYWAY #Rolling my bastard little rock up a dumbass hill and so on and so forth

Okay was anyone gonna tell me that I was like actually shadowbanned or was I supposed to just find out after my friend jokingly brought it up

#beanman has left us 😔#I mean I asked them to because I wondered if that was what was causing the problems my blogs has #(invisible to everyone; interaction nonexistent; cant tag ppl; ect...)#but then they were like ''mothman blog shadowban.....'' and it just fucking occurred to me that #I don't know what shadowbanned meant lmao so I looked it up and whaddaya know #someone made a post about what shadowbanned meant and a list of things to look out for if you believed your blog was affected #and damn I had all the symptoms y'all #ughhhbbb I already sent a thing to staff we'll just have to see if I can get this fixed #or if my blog is just gonna be fucked forever I guess #whatever happens happens

Big fan of the idea that marcia genuinely is completely unaware that she's autistic and just thinks everyone else is being weird on purpose. Like she knows abt autism and that it exists but that's kind of it. She's absolutely convinced she is the most normal person in the room at any given time

#sep talks #marcia overstrand #septimus heap #I hc that it's septimus who for whatever reason ends up reading a list of Autism Symptoms #and hes like huh this sounds kind of like me. But this sounds even more like marcia #when he brings it up she's like what r u talking abt. I am literally so normal. All of the things on this list are normal things to do #(septimus like YES they r normal IF U R AUTISTIC)#and then she goes off and does her own research and then she comes back like okay I see your point now #and in conclusion she doesn't do anything about it #to clarify she doesnt have like internalised ableism she's not in denial #she just genuinely believes she is the most normal person and everyone else is weird

yk when you can feel yourself starting to stop caring about stuff you love and you are White Knuckling through it because no I Will still love this so fucking help me

#could be a vent but really i’m just kinda vibing #oh also turns out I do Not have adhd #which is kinda good and kinda bad #kinda good because like. well at least we've checked off one of the 'well what if it's this' list #kinda bad because it means that my problems will probably have to be solved individually which. mmm I cbaa #i’m gonna cause like what else am i gonna do #but like man I just wish I had One Big Problem that was causing all these stupid little problems #and if adhd was that One Big Problem then I could just have medication and stuff and I could get better #but nope HFKDH I gotta sort through each stupid little problem individually #i’m also kinda stumped cause I don't think it's depression and I now know it's not adhd so like. well now what #it'd better not fucking be autism or stress or burnout or whatever #I want an easily medicated problem thank you very much #we (family) think that I should probably try antidepressants #specifically because both my dad and his mum and my mum are all on antidepressants #my dad and me have like. fundamentally identical symptoms #and apparently antidepressants really help with those symptoms #so yk i’m holding onto that hope lmao #I will now tag this as vent maybe cause I am yapping #i’m not upset though so like. idk ill tag it just in case #but i’m more annoyed than anything else LHFKD #like mannn #why can’t mental health be easy for like. one time #cmon #wren wrambles #vent #rant #it's both tbh

I wish people would understand that it's such an incredible useless time investment to stress about wether you really have the diagnosis™ - you don't have to proof anything to be allowed to use the ressources shared online in the respective communities to help yourself get through life. I promise you, you're not "appropiating" or "faking" anything, symptoms tend to overlap between a vast variety of diagnoses and thus tips and tricks that can work do too.

I understand wanting to find the definite answer, but that road can be long and time intensive and exhausting - you don't need to suffer through it all without trying any of the ressources people with the diagnosis™ are already sharing online.

#i have lots of symptoms that could be read as adhd or autism but its actually just cptsd #and thus some tips shared in those communities help me regardless #obviously im not talking about medicine or whatever #shit like that needs to be talked through with a professional #but tips and tricks like making lists for adhd peeps #or tone indicators for people with autism #its stuff thats there to be used with or without diagnosis #if it makes life easier for you thats all that matters at the end of the day #adhd #autism #neurodivergence #neurodivergent #did osdd #cptsd

you know im realizing now. with the exception of a few resident psychiatrists, ive had like. no good experiences with mental health professionals

#most recent occurance is eating my brain alive right now because I feel just so. degraded and offended by how she chose to evaluate me #I won’t get into it because it will make me spiral even more and get angrier and more overwhelmed but tldr she didn’t acknowledge #anything I said about my symptoms both out loud and via written test. chose to ignore or dismiss anything that came from me #as if I couldn’t be trusted to recount my own experiences and feelings. also did not take into account that I am an adult and thus have Had #to learn to mask and shit so while she brushed off So Much Shit because i seemed (in the three hours she met/saw me)#functional Enough. that’s only becuaee I put in a Lot of effort every day to do so. and that effort does not last forever #and of course because. like I said I’m an adult. I’ve been yelled at I’ve been punished I’ve been put through courses and #through the ringer of Society in general to the point where I mimic Normal Person Behavior at least somewhat decently when im prepared to do #so. she treated me like a child and didn’t acknowledge most of my major issues. ignored me when I said I don’t avoid social situations out #of fear/anxiety I avoid them because it takes a lot of energy for me to mask and try and read people and act accordingly #and in her report suggested generalized anxiety. part of the reason I was there is because anxiety HASNT ever properly described my #avoidant behavior.#and just. yeah I said I wouldn’t get into it but here we are. this always happens #it’s just eating at me because I keep realizing more and more things she just fucking disregarded. literally wrote that I ‘listed many #relevant symptoms’ and kept it at that. did not actually give those symptoms any validity. basically just implied I was listing things #just. becuase?#some shit was just blatantly wrong like claiming that I have a variety of interests when I told her outright that I can only be interested #in one specific interest at a time- example being the entirety of last year being only interested in One (1) video game. and this is to such #an extent that it’s difficult to make and maintain friendships because I have no interest in anything else but that One Thing for however #long and won’t care about other things people try to get me into in order to have something in common with me or whatever or just. yeah.#issues.#she didn’t acknowledge the issues I have with low empathy or overstimulation. didn’t acknowledge my history of taking things literally to #such an extent that it has caused problems with people. didn’t acknowledge anything that was self-reported and not being displayed in that #moment right in front of her eyes. it’s just. really really disappointing and. yeah degrading honestly #especially because it took months upon MONTHS to get this fucking appointment #and to just be not listened to and dismissed.#anyway. yeah I’ve also just only ever had really shallow relationships with therapists (at best)#and have never felt helped by them or like they ever put in much effort to try to Get to me so to speak. only my psychiatrists have #been open minded and Listened to me. but they were always residents so they’d leave in a year or so. I don’t have one at this point.#kibumblabs

One of my biggest pet peeves is people calling headaches migraines. Like I understand that headaches are really annoying and can be very painful, I get it, I have normal headaches too, but they are NOTHING. NOTHING. next to a migraine. My worst of the worst headache is a walk in the park compared to my migraines.

And I'm not gatekeeping anybody here. If someone tells me they have a migraine, yes, I believe you, I will respect that information and act accordingly.

But, as a migraine sufferer, when some people are talking about "migraines" in general, you can just tell. They're talking about headaches. THAT'S A HEADACHE.

And I really don't want to sound like I'm minimizing people who suffer from headaches because that sucks and I feel for them, it's just about using the correct words. You wouldn't say you broke your arm if you burned it while cooking. They're different things. They require different treatment.

AHHHHHHHHHHH

#i get tension headaches and sinus headaches and then suck #but i can like have an ibuprofen and drink some tea and give myself a little head massage and whatever and just deal with it #migraines feel like my head is actually going to explode #like someone put my eyeball into a vice and also put knives in my brain #and any light or noise makes me feel nauseated #and there's brain fog #and sometimes i just go blind in my right eye for the day #and then you can have a postdrome that can last for days where you just feel weird and off and bad #and sometimes people have no pain and just the other symptoms which also really sucks #and NONE OF THOSE THINGS come with headaches!!!#anyways thank you for attending my rant #if you're a migraine sufferer I'm sorry #if you don't get migraines i envy you #if you're reading a list of migraine symptoms and being like oh but i get these with my headaches I'm sorry to tell you #those are probably actually migraines #allonsybadwolf #tw migraine #migraine tw

um what's a good pithy label for what we're doing this month. no more mental illness march. or something. anyway here are the plans:

- write my essays for the month (ONLY two. I can do that. I can do that!)

- get my fucking propranolol !!! and then be Normal forever maybe...

- attend all my classes from now on. this is a shaky one I'll also accept attending a solid 90%

- get my asoue books in two weeks and start a reread <3 and start a mini reading club w dizzy if they're still down...

- five minutes of tai chi every evening (been meaning to do this for ages and I started today and I already feel soooo much better #slay)

- start lost with beth 🫶

- get new hozier music, yellowjackets s2, and riverdale back (<- this will fix me and then I'll be fine forever btw)

- get a JOURNAL!!!! if you see a rapid drop of weird personal posts on your dash just know I am Fucking Journalling!!!!!!! everyone clap for no more mental illness march!!!!!

- I nearly forgot my birthday is this month. WHAT will I even do for that I haven't done stuff for my birthday in years but you know what it'd be nice to celebrate surviving another year 🤔 I'll be back home then too so we'll see. regardless you all better be sooooo nice to me in my inbox that day <3

#i would LOVE to include fixing my sleep habits on this list but that genuinely will depend on how good the meds are at #lessening my physical symptoms. i can talk about screen time and whatever all i like but that doesn't change the chest pain that keeps me #up yk?? so that's all dependent. it WOULD be nice to also just use my phone less though #.txt

putting aside the diagnostic label bullshit, i do experience all of the listed hypochondria symptoms and i am self-aware enough to understand that these are undoubtedly the result of hyper-vigilance i developed after years of being abused in (and by) hospitals, as a way of avoiding ever having to go back to one; me being proactive about my own health and safety and monitoring possible ongoing health problems so i never again end up being hospitalized for any reason whatsoever which, though i know it’s unrealistic, is still not something i feel comfortable with ‘treating’ (i.e. 'undoing' or 'unlearning') because even though i’m stressed about my health a lot of the time, at least i’m appeasing the part of my brain responsible for keeping me safe

#i saw a post a while ago from a fellow antypsychiatry blogger who mentioned that #the entire dsm would be undone if psychiatry actually addressed that a significant portion of things listed as #symptoms of psychiatric conditions are trauma responses #like it would just obliterate their diagnostic categorization model #to address the reality; which is that trauma (in the broadest sense of the word) impacts everyone differently #whatever #i'm in survival mood constantly and maybe i'm just tired of being held to expectations i can't meet
