my beautiful and intelligent friends, strangers of the internet: if you live in the Northern Hemisphere and your mind has suddenly "just been bad" lately, this is your reminder that October is when the brain weasels hatch for the winter.

if you suspect you are suffering from an infestation of brain weasels, track your symptoms, ask for a vitamin D level check, and research ways to deal with Seasonal Effective Disorder!

( ˘ ³˘)♥ take care of yourselves this spoopy season!

My grandma keeps getting exasperated that I refuse to ask my grandpa to drive me anywhere but like...

This is the man who told an 11 year old with depression, anxiety, and abandonment issues "I don't want you" in the middle of a lobby at a therapy place and saw nothing wrong. This is the man who has told me to "go to hell" because I couldn't help with his internet issues. This is the man who point blank admitted his behavior is problematic, but used the excuse that he was too old, as a reason for why he wouldn't change his behavior.

I don't want a relationship with him anymore. I made that clear. And while I'm still in this house, I will be civil with him. I will not remark on his comments. I will give simple answers to questions asked. I will help if the situation is dire. However, that does not mean I will engage with him for longer than I have to. And it means that I refuse to be stuck in an enclosed space like a car with him.

I don't think either of my grandparents have realized that, when I said the outcome of that conversation a few weeks ago would determine if we would have a relationship going forward, I meant it.

I've ignored my grandpa while living in the same house as him for 6 months - only interacting with him if it was absolutely necessary since i relied on him. And at the time, I still felt like I would have some relationship with him. But now? Now I feel nothing for him. That relationship is dead. I have no plans on making it better. I will simply be treating him how I treat anyone else I dislike but must tolerate.

I just wonder how long it will be for them to realize this.

There's times where I'm my own worst enemy. I'd like to say that other people are the problem but my high standards for myself are a never ending uphill battle that I put myself through although people have told me that I don't have to. It's not as simple as just throwing in the towel on myself and quitting, I very much have a hard ingrained perfectionism streak. Myself is the only person that I have zero chill with and I'd absolutely love to let down the reigns but I find I just can't. I don't think I know how.

I've always been an 'all or nothing' kind of person. I can't half ass something or slack off, I'm either pouring my heart and soul into whatever I do or I'm not participating. This causes me to burnout on occasion, and I'd say now is one of those times. I'm mentally fatigued and I can't keep denying that.

If there's anything I could tell people about myself it's the very fact that I don't like chaos in my environments and I don't like things slipping out of my control. I also very much like to go at my own pace and do things when I'm ready to do them, not before then. I think one of the biggest things that have contributed to my current burnout is just the amount of time wasted having to commute back and forth to my job. I cannot express how happy I am to be able to walk to work again. I could go on a rant about how terrible public transport is in the city I live in but I think I'll save it for another time.

When it comes to dealing with burnout sometimes I find you can kind of trudge through to the other side and then there's times where you just can't. Having to accept that maybe you've got to ease off of the gas pedal is one of the hardest things to do. I tell myself that maybe I can balance it all until I literally can't and everything spills over, all of the emotions I had bottled up come oozing out over the top and I can no longer contain them.

I'm not a person that likes reaching out for help nor do I like to admit defeat especially when I'm the cause of it but there are times where I have to accept that. A lot of people feel shame when it comes to stepping back for your mental health like you should be able to handle everything but it's okay if you can't. Being kind to yourself in the sense of retreating when needed is also a form of self care. It's typically the start of getting back on track when you do come clean and say that yeah, you're having a hard time - the first part to solving a problem is addressing the problem.

It's okay to fail, and it's definitely okay to admit you're only human and there's only so much you can do. I know I can definitely be over ambitious on occasion, I'm not always good at listening to others who might see my burnout coming before I do either. Thinking about all of this really showcases that I'm far from perfect and even I have things I still need to work on.

I'm just glad that at least now I have some time to breathe during this turbulence...

[pochapal]

health update: last week's sickness kind of went away then it came back real bad and i've been in bed all sopping wet and pathetic these last two days but i think as this evening's progressed i'm past the worst of it so all things considered i am fundamentally in the same state i was in seven days ago only now a process has occurred

[the-toasted-teacake]

I'm not gone. Things are just... a bit difficult at the moment, in general. Gradually getting better—in some ways, at least. Not so much in other ways. But we keep going eh.

[six-of-ravens]

decided to take my normal strength allergy meds today instead, bc pollen levels are only moderate and I don't like taking the extra strength ones too much bc the itchy mouth/drowsiness can be a pain. however, that may have been a bad call.

[timeisacephalopod]

In relation the that true crime post I made yesterday, does anyone know good true crime YouTubers who aren't fucking weirdos about crimes, criminals, and constantly advocating for higher prison sentences acting like Americans??

If you say Princess Weeks I already follow her and if you don't it's not all true crime that just comes up go watch her shit she's very informative and let me to the In The Dark podcast, which is also very good

[luvevee]

Last few months has been the worst mental health spiral I've had in years but I have my eepy deepy hubs and that makes things worth it 💕

[thebigqueer]

i totally understand the need for mental health days now cuz this feels like a 101 degree fever on my brain

Dental health in the winter season: 6 dental problems you should avoid

Winter, from November to February, presents challenges to oral health, including cold weather and holiday indulgences. This blog discusses six common dental disorders and offers advice on avoiding them. Protecting teeth and gums is crucial for maintaining good oral health.

Dental problems in the winter season

Winter dental issues are characterised by colder weather and other seasonal factors, presenting distinct challenges such as:

1) Sensitivity to tooth decay

Winter tooth sensitivity is a common illness caused by cold temperatures and dry environments, resulting in increased sensitivity or pain in teeth due to tooth enamel thinning and exposed dentin, exacerbated by dry air and dehydration.

How to Avoid:

Regular Oral Hygiene: Brush your teeth twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste.

Desensitising Toothpaste: Use toothpaste that has been specially developed for sensitive teeth.

Limit Acidic Foods: Reduce your consumption of acidic foods and beverages.

Cold Weather Protection: Cover your mouth with a scarf or mouthguard in cold weather to reduce direct exposure and irritation.

If tooth sensitivity persists or worsens, it's vital to contact a dentist to determine the root cause and the best treatment option.

2) Dry Mouth 

Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is a condition where the mouth produces insufficient saliva, exacerbated by winter factors like dry air and indoor heating. This can lead to poor breath and increased dental issues like cavities and gum disease.

How to Avoid:

Keep Hydrated: Drink plenty of water despite the cold to avoid dehydration and dry mouth.

Indoor Humidifiers: Humidifiers can be used to compensate for the drying effects of heating systems and to maintain adequate moisture levels.

Lip Balm: Use lip balm on a daily basis to prevent chapping and dryness caused by mouth breathing.

3)Cracked Lips

Cracked lips are a common winter condition characterised by dry, chapped skin, often accompanied by fissures or splits. The cold, low humidity, and strong winds exacerbate this condition, causing discomfort, agony, and an unappealing appearance.

How to Avoid:

Hydrate Regularly: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent your lips from drying out.

Lip Balm Application: To provide a protective barrier against dryness, apply a moisturising lip balm on a regular basis.

Avoid Licking Lips: Licking your lips should be avoided since saliva can increase dryness and produce cracks.

Indoor Humidifiers: Use humidifiers to counteract dry air indoors, especially during the winter heating season.

Lip Covering Protection: Use a scarf or a sunblock-containing lip balm to protect your lips from the cold and wind when going outside.

Incorporate these measures into your winter routine to avoid and reduce cracked lips pain, promoting a healthier and more comfortable oral environment.

4) Bruxism

Bruxism, a condition characterised by teeth grinding, can be exacerbated by increased stress during winter months, such as Christmas preparations, leading to jaw pain and headaches.

How to Prevent:

Stress Reduction: Use stress-reduction measures to relieve tension, which is a typical cause of teeth grinding.

Mouthguard for Sleeping: At night, use a custom-fitted mouthguard to prevent tooth grinding.

Compresses that are warm: Before going to bed, apply a warm compress to your jaw muscles to relax them and lessen the possibility of grinding.

Stimulants should be limited: Limit your evening coffee and nicotine consumption, as these are known to aggravate bruxism.

Drink Water: Stay hydrated throughout the day to avoid dry mouth, which contributes to bruxism

Visiting a dentist is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and management of bruxism, regardless of the season.

5) Cavities

Cavities, or tooth decay, can be influenced by factors like sugary holiday meals, acidic beverages, dental care disruptions, and indoor heating drying effects, not just during winter.

How to Avoid:

Maintain Oral Hygiene: To reduce plaque and prevent cavities, brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste and floss on a regular basis.

Limit Sugary Treats: To lower your risk of cavities, limit your intake of sugary foods and beverages, especially during the holiday season.

Keep Hydrated: Drink enough water to encourage saliva production, which aids in acid neutralisation and tooth decay prevention.

Use Fluoride Products: Include fluoride mouthwash in your regimen, and if your dentist suggests it, try a fluoride supplement.

Regular Dental Visit: Make regular dental appointments for professional cleanings and the early detection of potential cavity issues.

Implementing these measures into your winter routine can effectively manage and prevent cavities, ensuring a healthy and cheerful smile during the colder months.

6) Cold Sores

Cold sores from HSV-1 can occur in winter due to weakened immune systems, dry lips, and increased stress during the holiday season.

How to Prevent:

Lip Moisture: To keep your lips from drying out and becoming more prone to cold sores, use an SPF lip balm.

Avoid Trigger Foods: Foods that can cause cold sores, such as chocolate, nuts, and acidic foods, should be avoided.

Water Level : Drink enough water to stay hydrated, which can help with overall lip health.

Stress Management:Stress is a typical trigger for cold sores, so practice stress-reduction tactics.

Sun Protection: When exposed to sunlight, use an SPF lip balm or cream, as UV radiation can cause cold sore outbreaks.

Herpes simplex virus has no cure, so if cold sores persist or become severe, seek healthcare professional advice for specific treatment options.

Conclusion:

Maintaining good dental health is crucial throughout the year, especially during the winter season. Recognizing and avoiding dental diseases like dry mouth and tooth sensitivity can help maintain a healthy smile. Regular dental visits, maintaining good oral hygiene, and staying hydrated can help lower the risk. Dental specialists can provide tailored advice to help maintain good teeth health during winter. Take responsibility for your dental health now.
