#stabilizing my mental health

[fenrichaita]

the mental health industry is an auxiliary of the police state. It is not a tool of healing in the same way that a prison is not a place of rehabilitation. In both cases, you are more profitable while demoralized, detained, and stripped of your rights, than autonomous and empowered.

Uhhhhhhh I’ve been thinking about like turn of the century 1899 American Midwest setting. John Price as the head physician at the sanitarium you’re staying at. And all of the orderlies say that you’re very lucky that he’s taken such special interest in your case. That he’s giving you a specialized treatment plan— personally overseeing your care, even though he’s such a busy man.

He’s really just grooming you into the perfect wife. Making sure you depend on him. Love him for saving you from yourself. And he can just keep pushing back the discharge date until he thinks you’re well… And by well, he means ready for the real thing.

halfway through the newest episode of misfits and magic and hit with the reminder that Evan gave K his shirt in the last episode to wear and they're probably still wearing it

My wife (AO3) is away at war (currently down for me) and I miss her so very much (mental health is trending right below it)

Honestly it was less so about actually leaving the monarchy than the choice for Wille to leave the monarchy, that makes it all the more powerful.

I wish society wasn’t fatphobic to the extent that people will congratulate you on your weight loss when you’ve lost weight because you’ve been physically and mentally ill all year.

Haha thanks it’s because I’ve been starving myself :] haha I’m so glad you think it’s appropriate to say that to anyone in any context but especially in this one where you’re speaking to someone who had thin privilege to begin with :]] you’re right it’s really cool and healthy for me to be the same weight I was as a 12 year old :]]] yeah it’s super cool of you to notice that I’ve been eating 1.5 meals a day and then think it’s a good thing :]]] hahaha thank you so much for reaffirming my disordered eating habits that’s really beneficial for me in trying to break those habits so thanks for reminding me that you think that it’s an acceptable and even morally superior way to live what the fuck is wrong with you hahaha :]

You know what fuck it, been thinking about this since I made this account, in honor of my old adhdslugcrimes(to sluggishslugcrimes) I will do a whole damn year of birdflash headcanons once again for 2025, and also in honor for the old penname rei it's Sluggy 2025's yearlong headcanons time.

My criteria

Do it in the memory of Rei's 2020 yearlong headcanon post I did on a whim that got me my best friend Nebby into my life.

I will NOT prepare for it just like the original one

I will suffer and hate myself

And I will add my aus in there because at this point these bitches live rent free for far too long and are paying the price.

So, see you at January 1st 2025 for Yearlong birdflash headcanons, Sluggy reckoning!

Editing: added flashfam and Batfam and random dc headcanons after some thought, I remember my cringe 😬

Okay so. I have not fixed the major stressors going on in my life, but I feel more confident in facing what's probably going to go down next summer. I applied for a second, part time job and went looking at cheaper apartments in the next town over, and so long as everything works out how I need it to, I should be set.

ANYWAYS, AS THE GREAT JUSTIN MCELROY ONCE SAID, "THE ANTIDOTE TO DESPAIR IS ACTION."

[famewolf]

for so long all I wanted to do was die but now that I'm older, all I worry about is dying too soon. too soon to experience all the things I didn't give myself time for when I was young. I don't want to spend these years overthinking what time I have left

[purplebass]

I tried to go slow this week and be kind with myself and didn't push myself to do things I didn't feel like doing. I feel better compared to one week ago and to the whole of July, where there were moments I thought I wouldn't make it to the next day. I am still confused and in need of stability in all areas but someday I will have it

[deservedgrace]

I cannot stand when I tell MHPs that I was raised in a cult and have religious trauma and they come back at me with "so you believe you were raised in a controlling religion and you had a negative experience with that" as if I'm not using the words cult and religious trauma very intentionally

[teddy-bear-ramblings]

Ah look what this

Shitty poetry why yes it is

Some times

When I lay awake at night

On my back

Arms dragged to the side

Like a heavy rope

I imagine that I’m bleeding out

That when sleep claims me

It is death in her place

And these nights I can almost feel

Warm blood trickle down my wrist

And across the back of my hand

Other nights I lie on my stomach

I clutch on to my teddy bear and

I have no pillow for my head to rest

Instead I press my face into the rough fur and old batting

And for a moment I do not turn my head

Instead I let myself pretend

That instead of sleep I will let death steal my breath as I suffocate

I always turn my head

I can’t tell if that’s a good thing

current mental status: I have a therapist !!!

current financial status: I just paid my therapist 🫠

The irresistible mix of ST5 filming, exam period and January anxiety taking me on a trip to spiral back into Byler hyperfixation:
