so strange when people assume 'waking up early' means increased productivity bc no??? im awake so i can read fanfic in bed before breakdown breakfast

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

who on earth is out there waking up early to get shit done??? the purpose of waking up early is to have QUIET TIME LOUNGING IN BED before the world gets LOUD & ANNOYING AS FUCK

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

so much respect to the people in the notes waking up early to play video games, watch tv, phone scroll, and in general Fuck Around for a few hours before the world intrudes. now THAT'S productivity!

Being a calm, gentle, non-reactive person is really hard work, which is probably why many people are none of these things. Personally I think it’s worth it but sometimes one does want to just roll around on the floor wailing at the top of one’s lungs

People in my notes who think I’m repressed or dissociating: you will feel better when you learn emotions are not a binary of Not Feeling It vs Being Overwhelmed By It

Ok but How Do I Do That

Emotional Regulation: 5 Evidence-Based Regulation Techniques

Emotional regulation is about managing emotions to maintain balance.

A little meatier than the Harvard page but covering the same ground. These pages will give you additional phrases to google for advice

[thelawfulchaotic]

This sounds wild/stupid/possibly a little insane, but I find that actually addressing the emotions and speaking to them like people is my most useful way of regulating. Emotions are expressing a Deep Concern and Want To Be Heard. Once they are Heard, they are often willing to be soothed or willing to work themselves out with a cry/a walk/a snack/a nap (all things that allow for physical emotion processing and signalling to your body that you are safe).

Often, when they're incredibly intense, they're reflecting those concerns that we have ignored or exiled about ourselves, or tried to bury or suppress. It's not your enemy. It's coming from your deepest self and it's an expression of your truest ideals. Even "destructive" emotions like anger become your allies and friends when you understand why they're there.

And sometimes the message is received but you still need to, like, do the dishes. In that case, respectfully approaching your emotions almost like a compassionate parent will literally get you everywhere. Again, I know this sounds wild. But if your anger won't leave you alone and you need it to, tell it why you need it to and try asking. The fact that this works is so dumb and weird but it fucking works, I'm not kidding around.

This does require being able to communicate with your emotions, though. After certain kinds of traumatic stress, your body might distance itself from your emotions and you might not be able to reach that, in which case you probably need more intensive intervention and maybe better advice.

Under communism the wait staff will not ask if Pepsi is okay. You will not even find out that's its Pepsi instead of coke until you take your first sip. Unless you train like me, to know the difference from the sound of the Fizz alone, that is the only way we can beat communism and I can teach you. Take my hand. Not like that you grabbed it gay. Stop. Giggles. I SAID STOP

god i wish more sources talked about "sex" hormones like this

ironically its in a book about female sex anatomy that ive come across it (Vagina Obscura by Rachel E. Gross). everyone only wants to focus on the secondary sex characteristics and not the bazillion other functions of estrogen, testosterone, and co.

every body uses both of them!! for a million reasons!!!!! aaaaaa!!!!!!!
