every holiday i berate myself for not working harder during term time and i wonder how i so easily slip into the cycle of missing lectures -> spending free time catching up on lectures -> missing lectures to catch up on coursework/revision rinse & repeat etc and why can’t i keep up all-day productivity when it should be easier to do so if i’m already up&out for lectures ... but the start of each term has been overwhelmingly stressful and i fail at all-day productivity immediately then its like oh i have a diagnosis.
#biomed eng#i shouldnt rant here its not healthy im just. tired#it's the first monday of summer term#this morning was pretty good - went to two lectures then got 100% on two maths tests absolute win#came back home intending to skip double mechanics bc that's just easier to watch online#but ive done not very much at all.#made curry ig? that's dinner for 4 days in the freezer#and i've done some planning- figured out when to take maths tests and got my exam timetable etc#but very little Actual work#bc yeah this morning was just one morning of lectures but so much of that stresses me out#it's the interacting with people on my course#panicking i'll be late#even walking into the lecture theatre#idkk its the social pressure on top of really challenging content#exhausts me#yet i feel bad about being exhausted#i'd like to get at least some mechanics done but my flatmate is talking to a friend next door#he's been at it for hours#this flatmate is transferring so he's got no work to do and is spending all day every day chatting ....i love him but shut up.#his voice is grating when it's through my wall#and i know even if i ask him to be quieter he won't see the message#rippp#sorry abt this.

he says i hate everyone except you and that is addictive and that is kind of romantic and beautiful because you're young and you're kind of a sarcastic asshole too and you don't like bad boys, per say, but you don't really like good ones either. and you like that you were the exception, it felt like winning.
except life is not a romance book, and he was kind of being honest. he doesn't learn to be nice to your friends. he only tolerates your family. you have to beg him to come with you to birthday parties, he complains the whole time. you want to go on a date but - people are often there, wherever you're going. he's just so angry. about everything, is the thing. in the romance book, doesn't he eventually soften? can't you teach him, through your own sense of whimsy and comfort?
at first - you know introverts often need smaller friend groups, and honestly, you're fine staying at home too. you like the small, tidy life you occupy. you're not going to punish him for his personality type.
except: he really does hate everyone but you. which means he doesn't get along with his therapist. which means he has no one to talk to except for you. which means you take care of him constantly, since he otherwise has no one. which means you sometimes have to apologize for him. which means he keeps you home from seeing your friends because he hates them. you're the single exception.
about a decade from this experience, you'll type into google: how to know if a relationship is codependent.
he wraps an arm around you. i hate everyone except you. these days, you're learning what he's actually confessing is i have very little practice being kind.
#i used to think it was romantic too and then i was like. now i see it as a HUGE red flag#writeblr#it is also almost EXCLUSIVELY said by immature ppl who think this is normal#fyi even if u think it's funny and ur like 'im an introvert it's just TRUE' like. you need therapy (ily tho)#healed introversion is just ''i would prefer to be by myself'' not ''i hate every person'' ... hate is not normal. that is not healthy#im sorry. i know it feels accurate. but if you're walking around with that kind of rage....#1. you're making a LOT of assumptions about every single person u have ever met. which is often unfair and unkind#and also usually involves judging people based on their worst moments or little mistakes#2. you are being unfair to the person who is ur ''exception''#3. there is a VAST difference between ''ur my favorite person'' and ''the ONLY person i like.''#idk i think this is just a personal bias thing tbh#im sure there are people who have this experience normally#but i have YET to find a man who thinks like this and ISNT absolute DOGSHIT. although tbh.... like. im sure he exists#when u hit like 30 some of the things that were once kind of hot now just sound fucking exhausting. like ''im in a band''#edit in the tags: i used to kind of be like this too. but the thing is that like. my life became so much more peaceful#once i started believing that people are generally good. like yes i am mad at the world at large#but it's just.... a very hard way to live. you're not a bad person or wrong for the ways other people hurt you and taught you to be angry.#but that anger will continue to hurt YOU. it will punish YOU. it will prevent YOU from making new deep connections. it will protect you yes#but it will also cause MASSIVE blowback. bc if you lose the One Person... your life will fall apart. i know this personally.#i really recommend just trying to be... cautiously optimistic instead. like. yes#people can be horrible and cruel and there are some communities (incels for example) that aren't worth that optimism#but i think like... most people will hold a door for you . most people want to help you find your wallet .#i hope one day you are able to find peace. i hope that rage eventually smooths over. i know how hard it is PERSONALLY#and i know what must have happened to you. and im deeply deeply sorry we share the same wound.#but i promise - sometimes we all need someone else to help us carry the weight. eventually the rage has to die so that we can let help in#i had to spend years biting at outstretched hands. i still often do. im still very wary . and my heart breaks that you flinch too.#here's the thing: i don't blame you. but we were both acting out of fear and pain. .... not out of healthy behavior. and ... change#was needed. i needed change too. rage was useful for a while. then it just left me isolated and bitter. i had to (with effort)#choose to let that rage go. and let people in . VERY SLOWLY THO LOL

hhhhidea...,,,, CUTE idea (kinda?) dust reading to phantom papyrus during night to lull him to sleep,,,, but really its just a way for him to pretend that everythings not really that shit (as if phantom paps isn't just dust's denial incarnate) and to help him NOT wake up because of a nightmare again or something
(and just because i can't resist now im imagining this with mtt. not that dust stopped reading to paps in place of killer and horror (because he wouldnt he simply wouldn't) but now the two join them for storytime. horror knocks out pretty damn fast and eventually dust falls asleep too after he makes sure that paps is satisfied with the amount he read and then killer's just left to sit there. maybe he tries to fall asleep maybe he doesn't,,,, maybe he picks up the book and continues reading but EITHERWAY,,,,,, this scene in my head so 💥💥💥😇😇😇)
#sweet soft mtt taking OVER triglycercule's brain has been invaded with them.........#horror probably sleeps like a rock man. dust is a very very very light sleeper. killer doesn't sleep at all and when he does#its just like that half asleep state. better than nothing tho....... those weeks of not sleeping probably leads to the most delicious naps#now in an ideal world killer learns to get a proper sleep schedule even if he can't feel his exhaustion#however in MY mtt dominated world killer doesn't fix his sleep habits and instead just takes a shitton of naps everywhere#they killerfied the house (made everything softer to sleep on) and killer always has 2 walking pillows to sleep on#sure he might not get 8 hours of sleep like during night. but he got that over the day so its ok TRUSY#this surely wont have any bad side effects but whatever its the mtt since when do they care about PROPER habits. if it works it works#ik i aaaaalways say hrkl wouldn't like phantom paps and find it weird but also now im considering#like. them being jealous of dust for always having kinda papyrus with him#like damn..... horror fucked up his brother permanently. he will never get the old paps back#and killer doesnt want to see his papyrus again because then he thinks hell just ruin everything again#but dust gets to talk and laugh and joke with his paps all the time!!! he got it better than them and thats just cus he hallucinates!!!! wt#i mean phantom paps isnt a 1:1 version of papyrus but hes close enough in my eyes#another idea....... horror (and maybe killer if he warms up to it) hanging out with dust JUST to talk to phantom paps#dust could easily just lie about what phantom paps says (although unless he had a reason he wouldnt risk upsetting paps like that methinks)#but theres something there. something something toxic mttpoly dynamic or whatever idc man. im in the mood for FLUFF!!!!!!!!!!#i think it would be funny if phantom paps says dusts deepest thoughts about hrkl. and then if he wants to say it dust has to filter it a LO#they could be sitting near killer and phantom paps would provide a detailed description of why killer has the mannerisms of a cat#and then dust would (hesitantly) agree to everything paps said (he was thinking it too) but when killer looks back at him#(he's been staring at killer for the past 10 minutes to see if what paps said was right) dust just says like. you remind me of a cat#OR BETTER YET he doesn't wanna admit that he thought of that so he just says paps says you remind him of a cat#insert horror version of this moment here. and killer quickly realizes that dust's just using papyrus as an excuse for why he says stuff#like that sometimes. horror just thinks dust's a weirdo freak (but unlike killer he takes the little observations to heart. loser)#killer sans#horror sans#dust sans#murder time trio#utmv#tricule hc

Being a human is literally like this weird combo of being okay and not okay that goes on forever except there is also death
#(i'm fine)#(personally) (mostly) (really)#this has just been an absolutely terrible year for our planet and its people and animals#and it's fucking insane that as an american living in relative safety and comfort and experiencing the pleasures and guilt of that...#...i can experience this horrible yet ENTIRELY SURVIVABLE blend of acute pain over so many things at once#including war and genocide and the utter hopelessness of that#and also things like being really really sad that matthew perry's life was so hard and he died#and also so many bad and weird things have happened to family members this year but we mostly have the resources to come together and deal#which is amazing and bolstering and exhausting#and my brain still has space to be excited about writing and numb to writing and angry/impotent about writing#desperate for feedback yet private and retreat-y and weird#always hoping to hit upon The Perfect Thing :-/#and i live in a place that basically is not a democracy any more and also the u.s. is so cursed we've never been what we said we were#so a lot of my own perceived safety is incredibly fragile#but still so much more solid than what the people i am mourning for had#and none of the comparisons make a lick of sense and are in and of themselves deeply unfair#to the point that it's humiliating to feel guilt (making it about me) and simultaneously humiliating that i don't feel guilt *constantly*#and i have therapy this week but also this deep sense that while my therapist will be a fine person to talk to it will feel unuseful#i've always been a muddle of optimism and pessimism and i am very adamant that life is super beautiful and this is precisely why...#...all the violence in the world is so brutally devastating#it's just that the casserole of all these thoughts feels increasingly horrible#and feeling that way is 100% sane#and even intersectional frameworks and intentional attempts at gentleness only get you so far in the grapple#for meaning and for ideas of what to do#so i end up contacting my reps about various awful things#and zooming in and out on my fixations and having excellent days and terrible days#often dependent on what feels like a camera setting i only partially control#and i'm sure i'm not alone in feeling embarrassed that deep empathy and grief for people i've not met somehow ends up being...#...at least a sliver about ME and my little world#about me

Yeah I've just realised it's been months since I posted or reblogged or replied to anything on here, so. Yeah. Obligatory announcement that I am still alive and well. My mind got wiped midway through exam season at the end of january and since they then I've been vibing in a stress free world where I am not worried about anything or doing anything
#no kidding#it's like someone pressed a turn off button on me#and it got stuck and you cant turn me back on#i feel like ive been floating through life in a bubble for the past few months#like#hell#since this started in the middle of exam season that would be a good example#1st half of the season: worried#2nd half of the exam season: i am gonna read an entire semester's worth of notes (several hunreds pf slides) the night before the exam and#not be worried in the slightest about passing despite not knowing anything and my brain being scrambled#currently entering exam season yet again and i literally STILL don't feel anything#no stress#no pressure#it's kinda annoying because stress and pressure are my only way of avoiding procrastination lol#but yeah ive been kinda out of it for thr last few months#same with tumblr#i lurked here at least once or twice a week but just#nope#pressing a reblog button? replying to anything or anyone? posting anything? exhausting#i dont think ive actually checked my notifications and messages in months?#sincere apologies if ive been ignoring anyone for months XD#idk how active i am gonna be in the near future but hey i am here#for the record i don't think this is burnout or anything like that? and i am not in a bad mood or anything#i am pretty good actually XD i am just not doing... literally anything unless i absolutely have to#at the last possible second because procrastination my behated#ema rambles

mental illness is truly a gift that keeps on giving in the worst ways possible like its almost impressive what kinds of mental gymnastics my brains able to perform in order to convince me that im the worst person in the world and deserve to die. like the way it can turn literally every thought against me. like how im a self absorbed cunt for phrasing that earlier sentence as The Worst cos wow, a superlative, conceited much, do you not realize you arent that significant and in fact you deserve Nothing etc.
#like You deserve Pain but if pain actually happens its all How fucking stupid and pathetic are you#itd be funny if it wasnt so exhausting and actively making my life Bad#id make yet another joke about vitamin d deficiency and it being the Darkness Season but like. honey we both know this has been Brewing#like it feels like im perma depressed all the time forever but every twoish years theres a Peak or something#been twoish years since the last Episode and idkidk im scared to call it that cos after all i Am depressed all the time

#day 4847362 of having to be the emotional pillar for people (which to be clear I’m perfectly happy to do) and help them work through their#problems and them being triggered by something going on in their personal life or someone looking at them wrong and taking it out on all of#us and forcing me to be the doormat and apologize for something I didn’t do#but meanwhile I can’t say that I’m triggered by the constant swearing and sex jokes and have to take an hour after social events to calm#down and stop panicking about the state of my own morality because that makes people feel bad#or better yet we turn my discomfort into a joke#(which I’m willing to admit I participate in because I’m not comfortable expressing my own discomfort)#two more days of this (in person) surely I can survive yes?#but I can’t help but feel like I’m constantly being taken advantage of because I’m so easygoing and so desperate for people to like me#anyway sorry rant over I’m just so exhausted and discouraged

“louis slipped something else into that interview that the never broke up squad #are all confused about #but that seems hella obvious if you rub two braincells together” are you talking about his comments on harry jen? or something else?
(this is for you as well, dead curious anon!) No, not the obvious comments on Harry, it's when he mentions the band breaking up as feeling like "another loss," and at that point, he hadn't yet lost two vital members of his family, but in my own head canon (my own spicy UO, so don't at me about it), that's right around/just after I'm thinking h/l had some kind of breakup (and it's after/around when he broke up with his proxy [Eleanor] the first time, too, which goes unsaid by the interviewer but not unnoticed by me, lmao)
#seriously that's my own head canon#i think they've had a really messy on again/off again thing#believe what you wanna believe#but it was an interesting thing to say given timing#and i think it's hella funny when the hashtag they never broke up crowd is out there not getting it#because of course they don't!#hashtag they never broke up#they only fucked one person ever--each other!!!#HANYWAY that interview was an interesting goldmine of negative space#with a lot of room to hang a lot of things#the bad faith read of it being bad is just so fucking dumb#but whatevs#i don't see that take on my dash--i only see it when lurking#i'm so glad to have clear thinking/no rancid handwrings from 'exhausted' people#my dash is an oasis of thoughts that make cents#but i do enjoy a quick lurk of people who are so confused when they're literally not on the payroll#yet feel entitled to a whollllllle lot of shit and not at all curious about what he's actually saying

apparently a bunch of us feel weird about something today but I don't think we all feel weird about the same thing which is making it harder to figure out what's actually wrong.
I can kind of think of a few things off the top of my head but none of it is stuff we can actually do anything about, and distractions aren't really helping because half the stuff we try to do makes us feel worse for some reason.
we'll be fine but like, it just sucks
#personal#thoughts#🍬 post#vent post#I always feel bad about venting so much on here#but then last night Lucy pointed out that I usually vent on here when I've exhausted our other coping mechanisms#and usually it's when there's something big bothering me that I can't talk about or haven't picked up on yet#so I end up venting about smaller things because nothing's getting rid of the big stress so it's easier to focus on something smaller#they phrased it a lot better but yeah I do tend to vent on here once other stuff hasn't worked#and it's almost always either very vague or about some small problem that's overwhelmed me while I'm dealing with a bigger thing#we got really badly traumatised back in June and just kept venting about smaller stuff instead#I think the most we said at the time was ''some stuff happened earlier'' and then occasionally mentioned being really stressed

Thinking about what happened in the summer
Kids are... Really different when it comes to spending three weeks without their parents
Some start crying near the end of first day
Some start crying after couple of days
And some don't show anything while feeling the same
And being... I think English has a good word for that, let's go with a teacher but mix it with caretaker a little bit
I think seeing a kid cry at the end of that first day finally short circuited my brain, teens are way harder to understand that pre-teens who are literally still kids
They come around after a week, settle down and find new friends and your job stays the same mostly to be the one controlling their behavior
And then you'd have a kid crying again, because they miss home and the only thing you can really do is comfort them that they're not stuck here forever and that time flows so fast they won't notice it
And maybe they didn't. Time really did flew and they were leaving
Parents visited kids sometimes, of course, and it was so scary at first but they were mostly friendly and nice
Maybe because of that group chat that let them see that their kids are fine and are having fun
In the end for kids it was painful at first, but fun in the end. I got hugged more times than I could count when they were all leaving
And then poof
Back to your own life you go, like nothing happened
#not art#irl stuff#some thoughts#Every time I tried mixing my 'usual' behavior with the one I had back in the camp it felt like adding acid into water in the wrong order#Because it didn't feel right and it felt right at the same time#Like I just suddenly got a brand new way of behavior all together and it was so different that I stopped recognizing myself#Literally I'd work all day without much of a thought head full of WHERE EVERYONE IS ARE THEY SAFE??? And then at break near night go 'huh'#And at first I tried desperately to catch the usual behavior and bring it back on the break#And it never led to anything good because I'm supposed to be fully like in daytime 24/7#I did that one sketch of silly guys to just keep at least something in my head aside from being fully aware 24/7 of every passing second#I still don't know if I miss that or not#It felt so nice to not feel like I have no goal in mind anymore#A goal of 'get to the end of this with all of the kids fine and safe' without ever swearing or making them feel threatened was... Exhaustin#I never became some super sweet person to know so I did what I knew best - talked a lot telling about the things they liked#And if a kid is curious being interesting by telling stories that they didn't know about the things they liked is a way to be liked#Most of them probably forgot about me existing there but some probably didn't and would return next year again#Honestly I don't know why I failed so many exams when becoming a teacher is the only thing that makes me truly happy now#And super tired because THAT'S WORK and it's exhausting as hell some kids love to fight and you need all your diplomacy to work with it#Maybe that's just me missing my time with siblings when they were little I didn't get much time being a good elder sibling to them#I can't associate this work with becoming a parent for a month because I'm still not so different from those kids#Like... I've literally have been told by older kids that they mistook me for a teen like them#Excuse you but I'm like 7 years older than that#It was funny tho because I was considered a bit closer to them all instead of being a big bad grown-up#Yet some kids despised me because of that in the first group because welp not being an authority figure sucks#That being my first job sucks even more because I had no idea about the unspoken rules while everyone had aside from me and mom#Second try was way better because I knew exactly what I had to do even if I was terrible at making us participate in dances and songs#Thankfully it started raining and don't you dare let kids get cold from being in the rain at night that's just ridiculous#So it was like we had a slumber party with me letting them watch GF on my laptop and read some comics#It was way better than being forced to look at the other groups winning all over again. Kids disliked losing so many times in a row#And in the end the things we planned weren't exactly enough but when they were kids were happy and I was happy because we put so much effor

#idk how to vent this one cause i just feel like screaming#im so tired and depressed and exhausted#i was contemplating things yesterday#id never go through with anything and i could never do that to people but man#theres people i know that have offered to chat whenever i feel and i know that theyre being genuine#i just cant help but feel bad for bothering anyonr#i have no passions for anything particular and i need to decide what uni course or apprenticeship im doing within the next 2 months#ive already been thinking for a year#theres nothing that pulls me#i dont feel like doing any of it#i dont want to leave here#i havent had a proper hyperfixation for months either which is so strange for me#i cant bring myself to be excited about anything#i think of the future and im just filled with dread#my childhood is almost gone and i feel like i wasnt here for any of it#11 year old me thought id be gone by now#so i never thought about my future#and now what#i need to tell someone that but i also dont wanna put that weight on their mind#i honestly dont know how im going to survive y13#it hasnt even started yet and im already ready to wander off somewhere and never come back#my grades are good i know i have the capability to get the highest ones possible but theres nothing that i want to work for#i dont know what im doing#everything just feels utterly pointless
