Catch me desperately googling “where is my local aquarium and do they let me pet the rays” at 10:30pm.

Previous google searches include, “Does Pets At Home let you hold the gerbils”, “What animals do Zoos let you touch” and “Nearest cats please.”

SZPD is just the worst

SZPD is that feeling in your heart where you know that there should be something there, some part of you that makes all the socialising decisions and brings all the energy needed to make connections and it's not there. You don't know what it's supposed to be or how it works, you just know that there's a hole that can't be filled.

And the worst part is that you can't talk about it because no one understands. There's a bar that's so low that most people can jump over without realising that it exists and people with szpd can't get past it. Ask any psychologist and they will say one of two things: I haven't heard of that before or I can't help you because I don't know how to. There is no cure, there is no treatment. Hell there isn't any real research being done because it's so rare.

To interact with the world it feels like you need at least some skill in making social connections and if you can't make that happen it feels like you don't belong anywhere and you don't really count as human.

I know that human connections are one of the most important things in this world so why don't I care about them?

not to keep talking about the same thing over and over, but fuck it this is my blog

ive convinced myself that anytime im sad or not particularly mentally well, its just bc of period hormones?

i was researching the effects of hormones on mood at varying stages of the cycle, and realised that the day i logged in my mood tracker as the start of me feeling shit was actually during the phase "typically associated with better moods"

maybe my brain will stop calling me a fucking liar now oml

I feel inadequate as a woman as I'm struggling to fall pregnant.

This shit hurts.

Feeling Down ?

Feeling down, in psychology, refers to a state of low mood or sadness often accompanied by a lack of interest or pleasure in activities, changes in appetite or sleep patterns, fatigue, and negative thinking. This condition may be transient or prolonged and can impact various aspects of an individual's life, including their social, occupational, and personal functioning.

Book: "Abnormal Psychology" by Barlow & Durand (2018).

no what is this i always get worse before and during my period, to the point i would convince myself everything is fake and its just because my period is coming, even if it wasnt due for 2-3 weeks lmfao.

anyway so i was researching shit and apparently underlying issues (like mood disorders and traits of most disorders) can worsen because of the hormones released for menstruation and omg!!! why did nobody tell me this?

now im realising that the issues are continuously there, they just worsen so it feels sudden.

A day to myself

You’re always what I think I need

No activities planned

A moment to breathe

But I’ve forgotten how to relax

The phone use starts to feed

The bed is calling

But you’re not what I need

I need deep connection

I need a nourishing meal

I need to breathe the air from outside

I need to notice all that I feel

Sometimes my brain tricks me

And convinces me just to rest

It says it sweetly, you deserve it

But it’s just my depression putting me to the test

So tomorrow I remember,

To recall what I truly need.

Tomorrow I look back at this poem,

And I remember to read.

Find the account yourself hahahaahhhaha

[poetic-echoes]

I'm not doing well today. No motivation, I nearly shouted at an elderly lady in the supermarket cos she walked right out in front of me and I nearly hit her with my trolley, and I've just eaten a third of a tub of low fat Ben and Jerry's!

I've had such a good week, too. I have a Talking Therapies assessment tomorrow, so it's probably lurking in the background of my thoughts, somewhere. If I get offered CBT one more time, I'm gonna cry. I just want some counselling. I know how to change my mindset and all that, but this is depression due to life experiences. I need someone to help me understand things, I need to see a psychiatrist. Bipolar has been mentioned, but I've not had a psychiatry referral!! My meds have me fucked most days. I'm either not sleeping or sleep loads, not eating or eating loads, and I can never remember what day of the week it is!

I hate feeling like this. It's only temporary, though. As long as I keep reminding myself that I'll be ok. I will continue to keep myself busy, to be there for other people, and to smile.

It's just a blip 💚💜

Day by Day - Chapter 5

Previous Chapter

Chapter preview:

Tim felt better in himself the next day, still not a hundred percent but better than the two previous days. During school he still didn’t interact with anyone, he simply kept his head down, got on with the work the teachers set and kept to himself.

If Tim was asked for his opinion, he would say he’s settled into school pretty well by now, at least by his standards. A couple of teachers have spoken to him before and commented on his ability of settling in and getting to grips with the work they’re doing despite coming in halfway through the school year. Each time it’s happened Tim just smiles and says he’s done similar work in his old school and how catching up thankfully hasn’t been too difficult.

Ask someone else however, they would probably say different. Tim is aware he didn’t have any friends yet. There’s no one he’s clicked with, no friendship group he’s slotted himself into or anyone in class that he’s paired off with. They’d say he’s lonely.

Of course there’s the guy he’s now tutoring, the one who he keeps bumping into at the wellbeing hub when he has counselling. There’s also the blonde girl Cassie and the ginger boy Bart, they seem like potential friends however Tim hasn’t put in the effort to make a friendship with them.

Probably won't be posting much for a little bit, just to let you all know instead of disappearing randomly. I might post every once in a while, but Im not feeling too good rn and motivations running low so there won't be many art pieces for a bit.

Also won't be active much / at all on the tsp creator club server for a little while, gonna be taking a small break for myself. If you need me, feel free to dm me or @ me if you need anything.

Love you all, I'll try to post as soon as possible <3
