Okay good news everyone after a gabapentin and two IR propranolols I have finally stopped having uncontrollable full-body shaking/shivering. What the fuck was that about. I only get anxiety attacks of that amplitude a few times a year but boy are they doozies. Not triggered by anything except I guess having too many migraines back to back? Yeesh

"Clinicians and researchers who deal with people with histories of chronic trauma are routinely confronted with fight, flight, ore freeze reactions. Our patients (and occasionally colleagues) easily take offense, and they often disorganize their (and our) lives by becoming too angry, too ashamed, and too frozen. Minor irritations easily turn into catastrophes; small failures of communication are difficult to gloss over and easily turn into dramatic interpersonal conflicts...human kindness...often fails to have a significant impact on the despair, rage, and terror of people with histories of trauma and abandonment.... Gradually we came to understand that the most severe dysregulation occurred in people who, as children, lacked a consistent caregiver. Emotional abuse, loss of caregivers, inconsistency, and chronic misattunement showed up as the principal contributions to a large variety of psychiatric problems (Dozier, Stovall, & Albus, 1999; Pianta, Egeland, & Adam, 1996). One of the most important discoveries in psychology, neuroscience, and psychiatry has been that failure in establishing secure early attachment bonds leads to a diminished capacity to regulate negative emotions.... Sadly, deficient affect regulation caused by early adverse experiences is compounded by the resulting off-putting behaviors in the face of stress, such as temper tantrums and emotional withdrawal (Shaver & Mikulincer, 2002). Dysregulated behavior alienates potential friends and partners and interferes with being able to garner support and accumulate restorative experiences. Lack of affect regulation thus runs the danger of becoming a vicious circle, where deficient self-control leads to abandonment, which in turn makes it even more difficult to regulate the negative mood states." from The Polyvagal Theory: Neurophysiological Foundations of Emotions, Attachment, Communication, and Self-Regulation by Stephen W. Porges, Foreward by Bessel A van Der Kolk

i would make a really good 'person who holds you while you cry' i think. not only am i quite good at holding people in general, but also anyone who has unlocked being held by me while they cry will have definitely already seen me crying many times over basically nothing, so they can hopefully trust i'm not judging them even if they're crying for a very silly reason.

Self-care is not just a luxury — it’s a necessity for maintaining your overall well-being. When life gets busy, it’s easy to neglect your own needs, but taking the time to care for yourself can help you feel more grounded, energized, and ready to face challenges. Whether it’s your mental, emotional, or physical health, self-care plays a crucial role in staying balanced. Prioritizing yourself isn’t selfish; it’s essential for your long-term health and happiness.

Stylization of humans in cartoons: often over-exaggerates sex differences. Awful. Terrible. Ick. Dysphoria-inducing for many. Inferiority complex or eating-disorder inducing for others.

Stylization of animals in cartoons: Amazing. Superb. Whimsical. All the good feels.
