#temperature attack

[4me2knowandyou2wonder]

Hey COD writers, I just want you to know that in some army pants, there are holes at the top of the main pockets for breathability. What I’m trying to say here is that if *someone* stuck their hand inside *someone elses* pocket—as long as that someone else doesn’t have their shirt tucked in super deep—this person could touch the other’s stomach and maybe even their treasure trial.

That’s all, thank you for your time.

Sketching sketching.

Because it took me an eternity doing the third mates, I decided not to do lineart when doing the hexbuds, just my usual clean sketches.

Anyway, here's Tarragon, the plant keeper, the last dragon!

We have also just finished a replay of Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. We highly recommend playing this game! We are being attacked by a game that we last beat several years ago when it first came out, where we went in knowing nothing of the story and went out having been dealt a physical blow to our heart. Very fun game. For legal reasons how to obtain it is A Mystery For Sure but you should play it.

Another form of Depression Discourse that I'm extremely wary of is "here are some things that can help with depression, so it's totally curable! You just have to do The Things, even if they're hard."

The issue is that—yes, there are things you may be able to do that can help with depression, for some people. There are habits that are likely to be helpful, like dragging yourself to things you normally like or getting exercise where possible.

Does this mean that those things intrinsically cure depression if you just pull yourself up by your bootstraps try hard enough? No. They can cure some people's depression completely. They can help other people's. It depends on the person.

But for me, the incessant do this, do that, you've got to take responsibility and get over it, has always been far more discouraging than learning about things like the relatively high rate of recurrence. I used to think that the reason I couldn't get past it was wholly on me. It kept coming back because I was lazy or undisciplined or self-indulgent or simply not doing the right things for whatever reason. Not trying hard enough. I told myself that if I could just summon up enough will to push myself past it, I would cure myself by sheer personal strength.

But I never could.

It tended to come back worse when I was under a lot of pressure, but no matter how good things were, it always returned. I'd spend a week or two feeling really good and motivated and energetic, then irritable and anxiously go-go-go yet very distractable—and then there'd be this awful crash into another episode of depression, over and over and over. I lived in my favorite city, I took walks, I went to readings, I volunteered, I kept myself and my apartment clean, and yet I couldn't overcome it.

The only thing that really put a significant dent in it was getting diagnosed as bipolar and put on mood stabilizers and eventually antipsychotics. And it still comes back! The crash is less extreme, most of the time—but I have grad student insurance for my medication, I have a psychiatrist and access to counseling when I need it, legal accommodations, and necessarily keep a fairly strict schedule. Going to my university in person rather than online helps, doing things I ordinarily like helps, sleeping regular hours helps. None of them help very much without medication. And for me, nothing helps enough to cure it.

The point is not that improvement is impossible, or that it never goes away for good. It does for some people! It does for many people. But, without denying the effort those people have put in, there is an element of good fortune to that. I think it's important for the people who aren't cured, who can never pull the bootstraps hard enough, to know that that's not a moral failing. It's not because we're weak or undisciplined, it's not because we aren't trying, it's not because we have any less value or merit than the people who get better or people who never have depression at all.

So, personally, I think a more important, generally accurate, and compassionate message than "depression will get better if you just try hard enough" is this one:

Whether you're cured or not, whether the usual recommendations help much or not, whether medications help or not: this isn't your fault.

hot! hot! hot!

[s0fter-sin]

i need some scientist to figure out how much ecological damage the rumbling titans did before they even made it to land. these things are so hot, just one of them can set a person on fire. what effect would hundreds of them swimming in the ocean cause? we see the mass of steam coming off them when they’re under the water, did they reduce the ocean level? permanently disrupt the temperature? and rainfall, shit, having that much water vapour in the atmosphere? tell me that wouldn’t mess up something. how much damage did they cause before they ever even made it to marley?

25°c felt like 34°c for me these days and this heat caused me to be distressed , to be overstimulated and feel horrible in my own skin, I ended up having panic attacks due to it and I can’t stand it anymore. Idk what I will do in summer when it’s gonna be actually 34°c 😭

At least at work it was decent ish bcs we kept all the blinds down which kept the heat from creeping in. Only around 2/3pm we had to turn on AC bcs it was starting to get warm inside.

If I wouldn’t have taken dex (adhd meds) today , I wouldn’t have survived bcs it was a big no bone day. I’m so thankful that my bf gave me some of his meds bcs I wasn’t able to get an official adult adhd diagnosis but I am unofficially diagnosed by my former therapist so I know I have it , I just yeah Romanian healthcare is shitty.

For me it works best to only take adhd meds when I have a no bone day bcs on the other days I am functioning decent bcs I was unmedicated for that long that I figured out a way how to work without meds but it’s helpful to have a backup plan when nothing works out.

But to be honest I barely get shit done without meds 😔 It’s like 8h work, 30min eating, 6h recovery where I maybe might play something or maybe wash laundry or maybe take a walk or maybe use the indoor bicycle and then sleep 5-8h hours. Nothing else. I have the luxury tho that I still live with my mom and I don’t have to worry about food and bills too much (I pay my mom tho each month for household stuff and bills bcs I earn more)

Ok idk where I wanted to go again with this ramble but I guess I had to get this out of my system.

Oh yeah wait I HATE SUMMER I want my spring and my autumn back and maybe winter >:((

CLIMATE CRISIS IS REAL 😭 and my Audhd me is scared how to cope due to these soaring temperatures this early this year :((

sees this blog on dash. remembers back to living through the texas freeze….

//remember kids, don't freeze over states or countries in real life!

I feel like I have more of an aesthetic fascination with food than I actually enjoying eating it. It freaks me out to think about actually. Liking how something feels is out of my control, and also not liking something similarly, but also not entirely.
