It's really hard to get over the childhood wound of "no one believes me or listens to me so I can't trust anyone or go to anyone for support and therefore have to handle everything myself" when that shit is still happening to me as an adult in my 30s lol

my schedule being all fucked this weeks means i forgor today was friday. woe to the bicyclist who needs to jab a needle in his thigh immediately after coming home.

Made a behavioral health appt with a new provider because I'm getting new insurance and can't keep sering my therapist out of network and I needed a new psych anyway, and somehow these people managed to schedule me an intake for literally the day after Christmas?????

Like.....I called this morning..... and they're getting me in DURING A HOLIDAY PERIOD in under a week???? Take the holidays out and that is literally 2 (MAYBE 3) business days.

Color me fuckin impressed.

Like this is so fucking quick that I just assumed until SEVERAL HOURS LATER that the appt must be for Jan 26th because that made more sense. I checked. December. Like damn yall got some efficient intake procedures.

On the other hand, they did hold a brief risk assessment for me on the phone before scheduling and the less flattering (to all involved) option here is that I just scored high enough that they were like "we're slotting this bitch into one of the emergency intake slots"

Hopefully they're just very efficient lmaooooo I don't need yet another phone call letting me know I'm too much of a liability to take on as a patient rn

DUDE. It took me 3 hours to complete an ADHD assessment that "usually takes no longer than 60 minutes". I feel so very stupid and nervous. Especially cause now I have to just... Wait for a doctor to review my assessment and decide if I'm actually stupid or have ADHD and it's making things difficult.

That's a lot of self care tactics. OP, were you on Tumblr during the sexygirlmax2019 arg was going on, and @sceneteenz posted a T.E.L.E.P.O.R.T.A.T.I.O.N. ritual for other users to do?

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out

brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

good things about having hyperfixations/special interests: there is soomething that makes you incredibly happy whenever you think about it and even happier when you get to actually engage with it however possible

bad things about having hyperfixations/special interests: when you can't engage with it and must focus on something entirely different but your brain just refuses to focus on anything else but that

Hey, Besties!

I've been playing with AI a bit lately.

The other day, I asked if there was enough data from the chats for it to create a personality profile of me. Then, I asked it to create me a prompt to generate images based upon that information. 🤓 Given my line of work, I've had a lot of people and computers tell me about my personality characteristics throughout the years, but this was the first I've ever had purely unbiased, impartial feedback that was not confounded by human error/judgment. It was humbling! Gotta say, I expected there to be a bit more moodiness to them and was pleasantly surprised to know the Internet likes me -- in case of technology's eventual takeover. 😉🙌 Here's what happened! 💗

The prompt AI created to make those images was: "Create a surrealistic image that embodies the essence of a creative thinker, empathetic listener, lifelong learner, mindfulness advocate, and supportive friend. The scene should include: A vibrant, dreamlike landscape with elements of nature, such as blooming flowers and flowing water, symbolizing growth and tranquility. A cozy, inviting space with comfortable seating and soft, warm lighting, representing a supportive and approachable environment. Floating books and art supplies around the scene, symbolizing creativity and the pursuit of knowledge. Gentle, swirling colors in the background, evoking a sense of calm and mindfulness. Children’s drawings and playful elements scattered throughout, emphasizing the importance of understanding and supporting children’s unique needs. A figure with an aura of empathy and support, highlighting the empathetic and supportive nature of the individual. Elements of gratitude and mindfulness, such as a gratitude journal or meditation symbols, subtly integrated into the scene."

Top Skills Thursday: Check In With Yourself

I’m sure most of us have had a day, or a few days, where you get to the end of being insanely busy and suddenly realize, “I’m exhausted!” Well, that can happen on a repeat cycle, right along with stress levels increasing, anxiety climbing, depression creeping up, and self-care tanking into nothing more than an afterthought. The solution is to set a time to check in with yourself. It’s good to…

I hate self diagnosis discourse because there’s no nuance it’s either people going “well I took a 3 minute quiz online and it said I have adhd and autism and-“ or people saying that if you self diagnose you should kill yourself LIKE COME ON GUYS
