#ok finally making a post about meds#I've not ever tried taking medication before. I was sorta raised with that classic 'dont rely on meds you have to learn to manage without'#I mean I was also raised with the idea that therapy is stupid unless you have 'real' trauma. and also like idk.#can't stay home from school unless your temp is over 100 or you're throwing up. etc. very suck it up mindset#so I was just really nervous to start. also of course worried about losing myself or whatever I know that's a silly fear but#it's also a common fear for a reason!!! anyways#so I finally was like 'I need to do something' when I realized I was so anxious I couldnt even get myself to go outside alone#like I just don't want to do ANYTHING alone to a detrimental effect. and it was butting into my ability to do my work...#for various reasons. but then ALSO adhd has been a constant issue with my work as well!#it is SO hard to write and draw on a weekly pace like I am without being able to focus#my whole life I've had these terrible nightmares constantly and I've always woken up constantly in the night#sleep has always been terrible so I've always dreaded going to bed.. ESPECIALLy because it didnt even make me less tired#it was more something that I just did because I had to.#but going to bed was always terrible. there have been times I was too scared to go to sleep for weeks on end...#I've been mitigating this for years of course. and recently I've been taking melatonin which has been helping too.#but I've also always struggled to get up. because I've always been EXTREMELY exhausted#but also anxious of what the day might bring... idk.#anyways it has all hit a point that I was like okay. I am doing as many coping mechanisms as I can. the psych said they were good too#but... it just has never been enough. it's never been enough to make me not tired it's never been enough to make me not scared#so I finally talked to the doc about it. and she was like youve def got smth wrong basically. which yah I know.. but yknow#anyways so I started taking wellbutrin. and I am so frustrated now. because it's WORKING#that constant looming sense of dread is gone. I'm excited to get up. I'm excited to go to bed BECAUSE I'm excited to get up#I feel like for years I've been holding on to the idea that I have to get up because I have to put something good out into the world#and I've been clinging to knowing that if nothing else. I am able to help other people feel better.#but now for the first time in my life I'm like. free of it. I didnt even know it was possible... and I'm so sad how much I've lost out on#and so frustrated how my whole life I've been told to put up with it and push through it. and treated like a failure for it being too much.#and just. It has only been 2 weeks. but the lack of anxiety is SO noticeable I'm so...#I'll never miss it. the adhd is still pretty present but like whatever. I can manage that better.#and I'm just crying because of all this combined.#I just. I hope I get to finally be the best I can be now. for myself but also for you guys!

Hiii, i love your stuff and kinda from a distance really look up at you for, in my perception, being able to express yourself without giving a fuck. Thats sick dude, Im so so afraid, of absolutely everything, its nice to think like i might grow into someone less apologetic of my existence. Nice to see people just being yknow
hey, thank you, this is really really nice. the secret that is probably not a secret is that i am also deeply afraid a lot of the time lmao -- but less than i used to be, and in ways that feel less stifling and self-suffocating, if that makes sense.
like, it used to be "i'm scared that if i express myself the way i want to, everyone will find me obnoxious, so let's just sand those edges down to be safe" -- now my fears are more like "now that i'm expressing myself in a way that feels natural and real, i'm afraid that it's all stupid/vapid/not worthwhile or meaningful" (<- specifically abt my art) or "i'm happy that i talk and act the way i want to now, but what if it makes me impossible to befriend," etc etc etc. which still feels bad and puts me in a funk a lot of the time but at least it's a fear that comes After/in reaction to doing stuff, rather than a fear that STOPS me from doing stuff, you know? like, it's evolved into a kind of fear that's less in my way.
anyway. i believe you'll experience something like this, because wanting to grow is the first step of growing. the fact that u hope or wish for something different means you're already on your way. to fewer fucks!! or at least distributing the fucks u give in a way that serves u better
#stuff like accepting that i'm reserved and i'm not very accessible via messages.#or that my online tone isn't very bubbly and it's weird and uncomfortable to force it.#i stop letting fears about that shape my behavior ('i'll look mean or snotty so let's force markers of Friendliness to avoid that!!') -#- and instead act the way i want to and then trade it in for new fears that come After the action.#also a good reminder to give urself is that if ur fear is abt how other ppl perceive u (as 90% of mine is personally)#u really... can't actually control that. and being very very anxious abt it all the time is usually ur brain throwing a tantrum abt not--#--having that control. bc it is understandably very scary that u don't have that control#as much as it sucks + is terrifying the truth is the only thing u can do is ask urself 'am i behaving in a way that i'm proud of'#'am i behaving in a way that's in alignment w my values + what i think is important'#bc if the answer to that is yes and somebody hates u or is deeply offended by ur existence anyway. well. literally not ur problem#but obv being at peace w that is way way easier said than done + requires tons of practice and will take. probably. years. which is fine#i am stuck with myself. i can either contort myself forever trying to be someone everyone will like and find totally nonthreatening and-#inoffensive and in the process exhaust myself totally and never feel safe or natural myself. OR#i can say okay. so i am a kind of prickly guy with stern and drab speech patterns and close to no social energy. and i think i can still be#-sexy and fun this way. and it is up to other ppl to figure out if they can agree w me on that#ANYWAY enough rambling for now. just another one of those things i think abt a lot so i have a lot of ready-made sentences abt it in mind

Why did it take my landlords' young kid pulling a prank on me to realize I do in fact have unprocessed ptsd
#it shouldn't have upset me this bad and yet here i am trying to stop crying on my way to pick tiny up from kindergarten#our apartment shares a door with our landlords'. and they have a 5~7 yo#who thought it would be very funny haha to randomly try and force our door open at odd hours#now mind you we don't have a shelter room of our own. we usually run to theirs so the door is unlocked most of the time#but after a few of those surprise privacy breaches and after calling out to the kid and asking them politely to stop-#which of course caused them to run away giggling and doing it again after a couple minutes-#we locked the door. only for things to escalate#they had friends over and together started rattling the handle and trying to force the door open#and them pressed their face to it and started mimicking sirens#which takes like one second to realize it's not an actual alert but still gives the initial pang of panic and stomach drop#not to mention made tiny very anxious and confused as well#welp. i thought it was over but today they were at it again#and i finally managed to catch the parents on the phone and very politely and strenly asked them to have a talk with their kid#only to realize by the time i hung up that i was crying#welp#i dunno why i'm writing this here. probably because it's the only place i can vent about it without actually involving anyone#or maybe as a semi formal recognition that i'm not in fact okay- to remember nobody is completely unscathed#anyway rant over. over and out#shompsays

"We can get through this by working together, reach out to your friends, community is all we have, a social network will be your security in the world, now is the time to lean on others!"
I do agree, and it's scientifically sound (pretty sure there is data about how people with better social networks live longer and etc) but also....augh..... what about the severe social issues, difficulty to leave the house, physical issues which lead to like zero socialization energy a majority of the time, etc. etc. Social support can be a replacement for structural support, but.. I guess I just wish it didn't have to be. Community is extremely difficult to build, even moreso if you're someone who has issues with social cues or group conversations or even just being around others in the first place. And blah, nuance, of course I'm just complaining or maybe being too negative or maybe misunderstanding, but, I hardly have the energy to brush my hair once every 2 months.. how am I supposed to maintain a wide social network and be active in a Community and Join Groups lol... sometimes it kind of feels like "er.. well if thats my only option then...... ruh roh". It's overwhelming
#Kind of like some post I saw a long time ago talking about how even the meanest shittiest most difficult to get along with#elderly people or whaever still deserve to have some sort of systems in place to support them so they're not just relying on the#grace of relatives or etc. who may not be able to deal with them. Not saying that I'm like mean and cruel or anything#but the fact of the matter is in most social situations either I am compromising or the other person is. Not in like an ~`ouuu im so weirdd#nobody willever understand my quirky swagg hee heee~' way but like a.. Just factually the things that make me happy and comfortable#are often incompatible with people. The way I communicate and process things is different from the way other people do and that#is always a barrier. I cannot have ''easy''' interactions. Even with 'understanding' people there is nearly always a significant#amount of effort. You can't walk into a group of people and then be like ''okay you guys all have to wear#masks and you also cant play music too loud and also we should communicate turns of speaking very clearly so group conversations#arent too stressful. and also i need this and that and we have to do this and that and '' etc. etc. You CAN. And some people will#go along with that. but they will ALWAYS secretly resent you for it. You will be the one person they're relieved to not have to be around.#theyre glad when you dont show up since they can go back to doing things however they want and not masking and all these boring#annoying things. OR you can say none of that and just deal with the loud music and the talking and the unmasked people. but then#YOU'RE compromising. and no matter how nice they are it's exhausting to be around and youre just further alienated#while in the presence of people and uncofmrtoabel the whole time.#Which I'm not saying the only form of community is a group setting specificially but just giving that as an example lol#I just wish there were a better option than ''well learn to socialize normally or just suffer then'' . Which I know is not what people are#saying. I guess I just always feel a bit scared when 'community is the answer'. Since its not like 'oh im just socially anxious and need to#get out of my shell~!' or something thats really that remedy-able. It's like.. my mostly unchangeable physical health issues combined#with the mostly unchangable literal way that my brain processes sensory informationand other things means that interacting with#others in a normal and easy way is incredibly difficult and often exhausting especially to maintain in any longform fashion. So then#when it's like ''the answer to staying safe is to maintain longform social connections!! :3 just reach out!!'' then.. ermm... O_O#also I'm not even one of the cutesy shy emotional hermits that's nervous. I'm the Bad Stereotype emotionless robotic cold seeming#looms in the corner of the room type of thing so people have less pity on you in that way. -_- ANYWAY gghj#I need like.. a designated social representative or something.. When I did work in that bookshop forever ago they gave me a#person who basically was just with me to help communicate with others on my behalf and supervise me and stuff. I need that.. Some#more extraverted person I can latch onto and they can maintain the Social Support Network for me and I can just be their +1 to all#of the Social Things and community. I have helpful skills I can contribute to other people and stuff it's just like.. I cant socialize lol#I cook food or something for you.. then you keep me in contact with Community.. a deal. (but then what about when I'm too sick to#contribute? as is often the case. there's not much place for people like me in communities sometimes i fear.. sigh.) ***

you guys want some abandoned gifs/gif sets?? i started these a few weeks ago for the one year anniversary of loki s2e5 😭
i think my concept for the set was to format all my gifs like the first one but it just wasn't working out, so i switched gears and the other 3 gifs are the result of that.
i was just struggling with what kind of fonts i wanted and how to format the text, and then i wasn't happy with the blending, and it just turned into one of those things where the more i looked at them and the more i edited them, the more i was like. ew. sdfhgsfdf
i don't think they're Bad Gifs, i was very pleased with the idea (i made another 4 base gifs without the text ffs), but i just lost steam. maybe i'll finish the set at some point, but rn i've decided to finally start my loki + primadonna by marina gifset after putting that off for months LOL
anyway just wanted to put these here because i'm still proud of them and i hope you all like them too, even if their full set might never be released 😭💖
#lokius#loki laufeyson#loki odinson#mobius m mobius#loki tv#loki series#loki season 2#will i ever finish ONE set???#hey it's all still good practice and i'm always learning something new#also i've just been too anxious and like physically unwell to do much of anything#i would like to work on some fics too and like......be able to read all the fics i have open 😭#okay to rb#ryan rambles#mine: gifs

tearing up over the bridge of on my way? no. shut up
#feeling very#it's not like what i'd imagined when i was a child#the older i get the less i understand. there's days i hate from the bottom of my heart and there's nights i'm too anxious to sleep#i still can't forget what happened that day#i still can't forgive the me of yesterday#trying my best to#but there's times when you have to hold up the people who've been supporting you all this time#if i can say all that what'm i hesitating for?#how long'm i gonna do this for?#inside my head look at the world around me#i can see that the road ahead is long#when it feels like i'm about to go crazy... step by step let's move forward okay!#man i don't think i can necessarily water/aroma therapy my way outta this one guys#valiant posting

i don't really want to bc like. there's many reasons for me to stay but. i don't think this tumblr life is for me anymore
#obvs im gonna keep this blog like i'm not. gonna go away. i can't lol!#i need to have a space to post when i do have stuff to post ... with gachiakuta otw ofc !!!#but i think it's time .... i admit to myself i cant do this the way i did anymore#not even back in like. 2021 but even just. last year. im not someone who can sustain interaction no matter how much i want to#there's just too much on my mind and im too anxious and way too insecure and with the election i have students to take care of#my family to prioritize and i have to move house and get my credentials and my degree so i can get a job.#it's just too much really to be worrying about what i can do here .. ive been in denial for so lng#not that that changes anything for anyone here or anyone reading this. i'm not disappearing and im still gonna be reading.#but i need to officially relieve myself of duty... iN MY MIND. if that makes any sense.#im sure i'll write again one day. my writing has come so far and ive finally noticed. and im so grateful to have tried so hard#i never let myself down once. thats for certain. i did what i could when i could#but i can't anymore and that has to be okay bc its whats happening.#anyway nothing's changing dw there's just been a shift in my psyche thats all#and i might post less and reblob more .. but that's all!#still love u ofc <3#caitie blabs

Some very novice fanart of Here for You by @aeryssickfics, which I simply cannot recommend enough!!! I've already lost count of how many times I've read it. There's something about Tighnari's vulnerability in that fic which I absolutely love!!
Took some liberties with his hand and feet anatomy because I couldn't be bothered to figure out if canon has anything to say about that. Also, I just want him to have claws, so that he can use them if he needs to :) And I put him in a comfy shirt because I could not possibly have pulled off his usual outfit because he deserves it =v=
Non-textured version under the cut for those who prefer a smoother look!
#cas scribbles#tw vomit#tw emeto#sick tighnari#tighnari genshin impact#this was meant as a gift but i had issues with sending it via ask so!! i hope this is okay!#i am. trying to let go of all of the critiques i still have of this piece#i realize i'm much better at writing than art!! and yet i have more fun with art#i didn't use references for this (clearly 💀) so. don't look to close?? lmao#whatever the most important part was making his tail look fluffy!! which i think it does =v=#anyway i'm procrastinating posting this but my internet just went out 3x in a row so#here goes#if you've read all of my anxious talking-to-myself-tags this is for you ----------- > <3

Everyone clap, I actually went out with friends instead of being sad alone 👏👏
#did i consider cancelling? yes#but did i miss them and went anyways and had a good time? YES#something about spiralling and isolating yourself from everyone and stuff#and i still feel incredibly guilty for not texting back and reaching out but. i went and it was fine 🥺#and i'm well aware they are very frustrated (lovingly) with me and YET#we laughed and talked and hugged and went to an arcade and it was FUN and OKAY#i'm still incredibly anxious for no good reason but i am very proud of myself. baby steps i suppose#anyways i am on my way home and i am so so excited to go to bed and have some tea and unwind#darya talks to herself

Hi everyone! Just as a blanket statement: Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas! I hope everyone who celebrates Christmas has a wonderful day and that you spend the holiday in the way that makes you happy and that you enjoy. And for anyone who doesn't celebrate Christmas or prefers not to, the same sentiment goes to you! I hope you have a wonderful and restful day!
Love you all!!
#I'm uh... still working on the not being anxious or having a borderline panic attack or just being in general not okay during christmas#and I'm hoping that doing this helps? idk I'm just glad I'm not having an entire breakdown like I did last year mdjwhcjiajsis I was not oka#and tbh this time of year is still really fucking rough for me but it is what it is some years will be better than others#I haven't cried this year (yet) so hey that's a win for me /lh#data log: personal

is it too late to ask for a better brain for christmas?
#i just wanna eat#but#i cant eat anything from the fridge cause we were gone for 4 days and even though we opened the bread and cheese before we left#if someone doesn't eat from sth for more than a couple days in my mind it has gone bad. idk why but yeah#and i cant eat my leftover tortellini cause they made it 11 hours ago and we were in the car so obviously we couldn't put them in the fridge#and they were with heavy cream so there's no way I'm eating that#and the more i think about what to eat the more overwhelmed and anxious i get and the less i want to eat#and no one gets it. like okay it's my fault for never sharing what's going on in my head#but it's clear ive got issues and im tired of hearing everyone joke about how if they ate like me theyd lose the weight they wanna lose#like seriously just shut up#whatever anyways#i still dont know what to eat but ive been wanting to complain about this#also i have a sleeping kitty on my lap and thats all that matters#jo says stuff#personal ramblings

thank youuuuu after the encouragement to commit on this scene and others like it in the first place, a bit from The Cuddling Part in the qpr two aces fic -
Then Dani’s hand moves, settling on Jamie’s side. He leaves it there, his thumb moving in slow strokes over the ridge of bone at the bottom of Jamie’s ribcage. There are callouses on his palm that Jamie can feel, slightly rough against his skin. It’s beyond frightening but he doesn’t want it to stop. He thinks he might die if it stopped, actually, if that gentle touch was gone and he was left to lay here, cold enough to shiver without it. It doesn’t leave. It stays, pressing a little harder after a while, like the way that Jamie has relaxed and leaned back into Dani’s chest, not flinching again since that first time, has given him permission to settle in too.
#gav gab#fic: loneliness into loneliness#writing liveblog#gav answers#ask box games#this is from a scene that's about a few things i.e. changing they way they're sleeping#now that dani's shoulder has healed enough to be like. id like to hold YOU this time if that's okay.#and there's a thing about like. direct skin-to-skin contact#it's a fully and intentionally nonsexual scene for the record but dani's hand is like#on jamie's side under his shirt#i don't totally have a justification for that except that it popped into my mind and now it Has to be here#something something intimacy and proximity and touch and hands etc#looking at this still like i truly don't know why this scene happened this way#but it came into my mind like#dani's hand is under jamie's shirt on his side#and it's Just That#it's just about touch it's not about anything else#and even though that's maybe weird? idk?#it HAD to be like that. there's no other way for the scene to go#i'm like. still so anxious that's a Weird thing to write but also who cares#maybe it is#maybe i want it that way anyway

Interacted with people outside! Brain is loud right now and I'm remembering my mistakes but trying not to! I still put forth an effort and even if I wasn't a perfect human I'm still glad to have showed up and talked to people!
#also I have to remember I was interacting with people while running on no sleep so of course I'm gonna be kind of 'off'#in general I'm kind of stumbly and anxious when I talk but I only started being around new people again#but it's okay#the people I'm around nowadays seem really nice so#even if I seem 'weird' it could be worse#(also I still haven't slept but I probably will soon)
