Wednesday, July 26.
Therapy for Black Girls 💇🏿♀️👩🏾 👩🏽 👩��🦱 👧🏾
It's Minority Mental Health Month. Did you know? Well, if not, you do now. You can thank us later, as we've got something special, and a little date for your diaries. That date being today, July 26, as it happens.
It's good to talk, let's face it. Life is tough, to say the least, and someone to talk to can sometimes make all the difference to your mental health; particularly when that person knows just what it is you are talking about. Life can be difficult, we all live with trauma, and your mind can inflict noise and distress each day. Fortunately, however, there is sisterhood and fortunately, there is community. So on that basis, we thought we would celebrate with, well, a talk. A talk more specifically on the transformative power of sisterhood and community, and an exploration of the ways Black women connect and grow together.
Join award-winning psychologist, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, and Dr. Lakeysha (Key) Hallmon for a conversation on the transformative power of sisterhood and its importance in community healing, in celebration of Minority Mental Health Awareness Month. Make sure don't miss it by securing your place here. There is quite literally nothing to lose, after all, as this is a free event, live streamed right here on Tumblr. That's still not all; we thought we'd celebrate with a few community postings on the evergreen, ever-essential subject of #therapy.
See you at 7pm sharp, folks x

it has been seven months and my insurance STILL is asking me "are you SURE your surgery wasn't due to a car accident we can bill someone else for? are you sure??? we're not gonna pay the whole thing till we're sure you're SURE"
#Artemis rambles#health insurance is the fucking worst#I hope every opponent to universal single payer healthcare has to have a minor surgery and then deal with this shit for months and months

I can’t believe I’ve lost two years of my twenties to health problems and disability. it’s still baffling me that I’m not anywhere close to recovering
#I thought I’d be back at work in 3 weeks at the end of 2022 and now it’s nearly two years later and I’m still practically bedridden#if my body can’t recover from what is an incredibly minor surgery how am I going to have kids one day#not to mention I lost months to those freak mystery seizures too#genuinely so traumatized from everything that has happened the last 2 years#with multiple other things that have happened in my personal life on the side during all of my health issues I am so tired as a human being#idk how to begin life again or when my body will allow it but I’m so ready for this era of my life to be over#I want to shed all of these bad health problems and bad relationships#everything has felt so suffocating. I feel like I need a mental breath of fresh air#I hope 28 is kinder to me than the last two years of my life have been#bria.txt

#minor health rant ok i'm sorry it's just. i've been debilitatingly ill on and off for this entire last year and it hasn't once let up#and i've had to deal with uni and grades and assignments and adjusting to living on my own for the first time#all while having an autoimmune disease that went undiagnosed for the first six months i was at uni.#and i've only just started to process how difficult this last year really was bc when i was in the thick of it#i just told myself i had to keep going. i had to get through it. and i DID i got through this entire year#and i did my exams and my labs and my assignments and i joined a sports club and a choir#and i balanced all of these things whilst i was actively iron deficient and malnourished and recovering from pneumonia#not to mention the literal Chronic Fatigue and Malnutrition Disease i didn't even know i HAD#AND YET. AND. YET. my family has turned this into a joke#i'm not even allowed to be that upset about it. they still expect great things from me bc that is who i am that is who i have ALWAYS been#and i don't know who i am anymore!! i don't know what i can do!! i spent ten months so sick i could barely function and i still DID IT.#it's no good telling me they're proud of how resilient i am!!! i don't want to have to be resilient i want to be WELL#i don't want to be told how strong i am i want the simple comfort of being allowed to REST#i don't know how many more times i have to remind them that i have an actual CHRONIC INCURABLE DISEASE before they listen to me#ANYWAY. complaining over lolol i'm sure i'll be fine!! haha#it's not like i'm ever NOT fine lmaoo#ok everyone back to scheduled posting. realness over !!#🙏🙏

10 Things To Remember if You're Chronically Overwhelmed
Feeling chronically overwhelmed may be a trauma response. Trauma activates the flight or fight response in our bodies. This activation engages the sympathetic nervous system. Sympathetic nervous system activation releases stress hormones like cortisol and epinephrine. In the presence of danger, these hormones help us survive. When danger is not present, these hormones can cause you to feel overwhelmed and can lead to physical symptoms of stress to include increased heart rate, sweating and digestive issues. After experiencing trauma, it is possible that your sympathetic nervous system may be hyperactivated. This hyperactivation may culminate in chronically feeling stressed, on edge, hypervigilant, jumpy or on guard. It may be difficult to relax. The good news is that you can reset a hyperactivated nervous system through trauma healing.

"Minority stress" is not caused by WHO you are; it's caused by WHERE you are. Being Black, Brown, bisexual, trans, Jewish, Muslim is not stressful. Being any of these things in the context of a hostile external environment is stressful.

i don't even want to take half my classes that im registered for autumn quarter
#this is just me spitballing here -#definitely need to take the security related classes that i want to do and even if i did dogshit at databases i still want to take the next#-class in the series bc i heard its more programming#also maybe the instructor won't suck that was a huge part of it#and im dropping data science im sorry i can't do algos i can't do machine learning. fuck cs theory im not into that.#but the question now is - do systems (which would give me a leg up in the security track) or do animation capstone (which is cool)#downside of systems is that theyre some of the hardest programming classes and i have to do group projects#downside of animation is that i missed the ball on most of the stuff and its a lot of classes in a sequence. also group projects.#(or neither and fuck off and do the global health minor or take english/art/architecture/philosophy classes just for fun idfk)#the stem major's curse#the last humanities option is looking nice rn maybe i can also take a bunch of public health stuff too#i actually kind of want to enjoy college even if im a commuter with no friends#hm ok i will go look for some classes later today#the data science stuff really screwed me over im glad im free of that at least#milk (normal)#i am kind of the ''mid at everything'' guy so no specialization for me or else i get bored and start attacking myself with hammers#and i change my mind about who i am and my personality every few months so thats really fun to deal with.

My problem is that i get really nervous when people younger than me do certain things and i want to help but i tend to overstep and keep adding more and more and become kinda. Overwhelming. So instead i dont say anything at all. I try 2 offer my advice when specifically asked to try and help but also people Dont ask so i sit here nervous as fuck all the time forever in spaces w minors saying Kind Of Concerning Things
#vani verbals#had a child tell me in full confidence that they dont have critical thinking skills like a month ago and if i think about it for more than 5#seconds i spiral. you CANNOT not have that in todays society. im NOT being a pedantic writing snob. im being dead fucking serious#i also see hypervigilant teenagers going after people for a minor misunderstanding and its like for tje love of god youre going to ruin your#mental health if youre constantly trying to monitor 'problematic' wording in casual convos.#im so scared all the time but im doubly afraid of coming off as mean . but u gotta understand where im coming from

I downloaded an app that I think is meant to be used for like, detailed food tracking or something, but I instead really just wanted something with this format (color coded calendar days) so I could put in one single simple entry a day to kind of rate my day overall (based on physical health symptoms).. which..... looking back over it for the new year since when I first started tracking.. 9 "good" days in about 9 months, so roughly one good day a month LOL...
#A neutral/yellow day is if I felt sick or had any symptoms (nausea. joint pains. headahces. etc.)#to a distracting degree for at least an hour or more at any point in the day - YET it was not so severe or so distracting#that i was completely unable to get anything done. An orange day is if I was so sick or felt so bad#that I completed absolutely nothing that day because my primary focus was basically spending the entire day on whatever#was wrong with me or recovering from that. And a green day is a day that - even if maybe i had a few aches or pains - I was never any#noticable or distracting amount of sick - PLUS - i also got a reasonable amount of things done.#If I don't feel very sick yet I also lack the energy or mental wellness to complete daily tasks then it still counts as a yellow day.#So I guess like.. Yellow is if health was ok but focus was bad OR focus was okay but health was distracting. Green is BOTH focus and#health were mostly okay for a majority of the day with no major setbacks. And Orange is zero focus whatsoever because health is too bad.#There are also 5 categories. the worst is a super dark red and then best is a super bright green but I don't like using them#You have to select a bright red (x_x) emoji face to classify your day as dark red. and I dont like the implication of a 'dead' person face#because of my ocd lmao... it makes me afraid it's some habringer of death (if I select it for that day then somehting terrible will happen#the next day or whatever lol) *** *** *** - so I never use that one. I also feel like the MOST extreme categories should be reserved for#super extreme circumstance like.. I would only do a dark red day if I was literally hospitlaized or something. And same with the bright#green days like.. that would imply I guess that i was both suuuuper productive ANd had basically no symptoms at all all day. like a#Very Very Good day. and I just think that's not even possible. no day ever goes by without me feeling at least a little sick or achey at#SOME point lol... A day with NO headahces or issues or etc would be.... wow... mythical occurence..#I have definitely gotten worse as I got older but even at like 15 or 16 years old I used to take ibuprophen a ton (I dont anymore of course#for stomach reasons lol) and remember having various minor problems here and there I was bothered by a lot#AAANYWAY.. also I count 44 'bad' days ghb... that's losing like.. at least one entire month of time a year.. maybe this is why I have so mu#much trouble getting things done and finishing my projects. BUT thats the point and why I wanted to track that. to like.. see it all laid#out at the end of the year. Maybe I could even compare years. Even though I started late in 2023. It'd be interesting to have a#yearly record of how many good vs. bad vs. neutral days I had in any given year.#(app is called 'Moodflow' on android phones. in case anyone sees this and asks. though I cant vouch for it or any of the features or anythi#ng since.. again. i literally ONLY use the one single feature of rating calendar days. I look at nothing else on there. And I keep my data#off and phone in airplane mode basically at all times so I never get ads on apps. Sometimes i'll mention liking some puzzle game or somethi#and then someone else is like 'yeah i love it but OMG so many ads' and I'm just like.. yeagh.... not for me lol.. but sorry to you. that#sounds annoying certainly..) ANYWAY.. auuugh... a sea of yellow neutrality. better than a sea of orange though. so :'3c
