it's amazing how when i'm an active agent in my life good things happen and i feel capable and confident in myself and when i just passively let life happen to me terrible things happen and i am miserable. surely no one else has ever noticed this tendency

Idk why but as a kid I used to get hysterically upset everytime I would imagine a gif of a rotating cow because I could never stop the cow from rotating no matter how hard I tried and I would be crying and no one knew why

This is probably an unnecessary addition, but OCD is missed in cases like these because it's deeply misunderstood by most people.

It's talked about like being obsessively neat or repeating pointless tasks is the main part of it, when really those are just potential symptoms.

The main thing behind OCD is not being about to turn off a thought. There's a thing where most people can just stop thinking about something. If it's over, it's not relevant, it doesn't matter anymore, people can turn their attention away. For OCD, that mechanism can get stuck. And some thought that was supposed to just temporarily pass through your head just stays there. An image of an object rotating. An anxiety about something bad happening. A wish that you made on a dandelion. These are all things that have at some point gotten stuck in my head, sometimes for years at a time.

The compulsions, the rituals, are the person trying to address the thought so it can go away. After all, if you're worried about the door not being locked you can check the lock. But for someone with OCD, that doesn't make the stuck thought go away. So they check it again. And again. And they made a ritual, maybe if I check it exactly five times, I'll know that it's locked and I can let this worry go.

It helps a little. It feels like you're doing something. But it doesn't solve the problem. Actual therapy for OCD involves not doing the compulsion. Instead, you ignore the thought, move around it, try not to give it space in your life. Your mind won't let the thought go normally, so instead you fill yourself with other thoughts. Other parts of your life.

It's not easy at first. Your mind fights you on it. But as you get practice, it gets easier. You learn tricks around your own mind, ways to look at the thought and go, hm. I guess I'll go distract myself now. It does get better. I promise

OCD Heritage Post

The real horror of a Stepford Wives situation isn't 'the suburbs are creepy' or even 'conformity is creepy' or 'I don't wanna be replaced by a robot'

The horror is the idea that you might choose to spend your life with somebody only to realize they don't actually want a partner and friend, somebody with ambitions and thoughts and joy. They want somebody productive, compliant, and sexually available, and all your internal life is nothing but a barrier to that. That the person you love only loves what you do for them, and the less of the an actual person you are, the happier they are.

tumblr is great bc its like a diary where I can take other peoples diary entries and glue them into my own diary

[cheekonthefloor]

from the lifetime niran and pete are about to share now, i wonder if niran would ever tell pete the real purpose of the jade. i wonder how pete would react if he knew that niran had always known he was the one for him. that the soul-binding was always meant to happen, one way or another. that niran sliding the jade ring on his ring finger wasnt a casual thing.

i still find it relieving that they have forever to figure things out and work on their feelings. its a lovely thing to think about. and i miss them quite a ton.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.

Looking back at the beginning of Wu is wild. The series is only 9 episodes long and yet so much happens in the development of these guys.

You go back to ep 1 and see that Pete was literally the lamest dog. When Niran tells him later "you're hollow" and Pete says "I was a jackass", like they weren't kidding. Pete was so empty and listless before he met Niran, before the training montage. He joined Niran partially because his life meant so little to him that he didn't even care what Niran wanted him to do. He just went with it because it was better than what he was doing at the time.

And we found out Niran feels like such an outcast that he'd rather disappear - and you go back to the start and you realize that's why he let Pete keep hanging around. Niran complained and complained about Pete, but Pete (in his dumbass hollow way) was the first person to tell him he was awesome and capable and to trust Niran so much. He was probably the only person at the time who would have picked up Niran's call to go have drinks at all.

And these two happened to be exactly what the other needed to crawl their way out of their own holes and find stability, trust, love, and family.

Anxiety is stupid because your brain will go ‘what if they kill me with hammers for talking to them’ and it’s people you talk to regularly who have never given any indication that they’d kill you with hammers
