how come no one talks about those days where your mental health just crashes down randomly and you start feeling ashamed of yourself because you were doing so good and now you feel like a complete failure because you can’t figure out where you went wrong.
3/5-2018. Today was a grey day. I went to the library to study for a while but I finished my readings at home in bed with some chocolate oat milk. ☆
messy lecture notes vs after class notes 🖊 ig: studylustre

i have to write a critical commentary for one of my modules on how my understanding of english has developed since being at university and i just???? how can i fully articulate how much this subject means to me i just sfdjfkshjgdfskdklsj
I hate Freud. His whole weird theory about penis envy and children being sexually attracted to their parents and secret desires and all that shit actually came straight out of an attempt to ally himself with wealthy and influential rapists and was a direct form of victim blaming.
He had started the research looking into “hysteria” which at the time was really usually referring to women’s symptoms of PTSD. It turned out that the reason so many woman had these symptoms is because so many of them had experienced sexual violence– especially CSA and incest at the hands of their fathers.
At first he was making real progress, and it was through working with these women that he discovered that talk therapy could be used to treat trauma. The symptoms of PTSD were lessened when women were able to safely speak about their experiences out loud and be believed.
But it wasn’t the women who paid for the therapy. It was their fathers, husbands, the same men who were perpetuating the violence in the first place. And Freud didn’t want to validate his patients (the women) if it meant making his clients (the men) unhappy.
So he came up with a new idea. These symptoms weren’t from trauma. The memories weren’t real. These women were just sexual beings as children and had penis envy and it made them lust for their fathers and fantasize about the rape that they had reported to him. That’s where the shittiest parts of Freud’s theories emerged. Another part of it besides just the monetary aspect, though, was that there was a feminist movement on the fringes starting up at the time and by publishing work about women’s CSA he would be aligning himself with it and therefore losing support, respect, funding, prestige from his male peers and from the psychological community at large. He literally made that gross victim blaming shit up to keep his own reputation with these fucks and to make sure he still got publication and fame.
By coming up with fake theory about little girls fantasizing about incest he not only fucked over generations of women, the feminist movement that was arising, and the entire psychology field for years to come, but he also completely swept away any progress made in understanding trauma and so we didn’t have any clue why men coming back from war had “hysteria” like women during WWI.
And our research on PTSD and trauma is still lacking to this day, especially because of the stigma that maybe traumatized people deserved it or wanted it or imagined it. People don’t want to believe it’s real. Perpetrators of traumatic violence want everyone to forget about it, not acknowledge it, or trivialize it.
And they have Freud’s cultural legacy to help them.
Can you provide academic citations for this? This is really neat.

An essay on the topic:
http://socialistreview.org.uk/404/whats-wrong-sigmund-freud
If you want some more, just google, “Sigmund Freud Seduction Theory Problematic.” There’s lots of academic and non-academic discussion on the topic, but TLDR Sigmund Freud is basically disregarded in almost all aspects of psychology by anyone who actually cares about their patients, so fuck that guy for holding psychology back.
Words cannot express how much I hate Freud. His theories have been entirely disproven by current psychological research, but using him to interpret literary texts is still a widely accepted technique in the field of literary study today.
English departments across the country will not bat an eye at tenured professors bringing Freud into lectures and citing him in scholarly articles and books. Doing a “Freudian reading” of a literary character or theme is regarded as a valid means of understanding and drawing meaning from works by authors as diverse as William Shakespeare, James Joyce, and C.S. Lewis. And it is based entirely on this guy’s unbelievably sexist, flat-out fraudulent, and thoroughly disproven research. It’s insane.
Just so everyone on my dash is aware that Freud’s theories are pseudoscience.
I too hate Freud and everything he stands for. I just wish people knew why I hate him so much.
‘the uncanny’ was one of my set texts at university and i was so mad at having to study him AGAIN and i was ready to launch into these arguments but when i got into my first seminar, my tutor started it off by saying “let’s just get this straight, all of freud’s theories are utter bullshit and he’s a fucking idiot”. teaching done right
Hey kiddo’s, it’s been a while. Remember me? After graduating last year and not knowing what to do, I decided to take a gap year. Remember when I made a ‘promise’ to myself to learn something a month and how I made a list of things I wanted to do in that year? I surprised myself. I’ve changed too. I’ve written more, I’ve read more, I’ve spend more time with my grandmother, and since then I captured most of my time in my vlogs. There are still two things on my to do list, one of which I will do in four weeks, the other I hope to do before the new school year starts. Yes, I’m going back to school. It’s exciting yet a little daunting. After working for a year, I’m curious on how I’ll react to being in a classroom again. I’ve loved my freedom. Going where I want to be. Spending my days watching movies, whenever I wanted to. But I also look forward to learning more. Being more creative. I can’t wait.
[11.February.2018 - Gloomy mornings in the library]
Thank you all for your kind words yesterday! I am feeling a bit better today~
I am currently in the library studying for my last final on Friday. [Advanced criminal law].
I hope you have a wonderful Sunday!
just me, reading an amazing book and planning my week while drinking a cup of coffee ☕
Instagram / Youtube
Currently spending all my time here at my desk prepping for the upcoming three weeks filled with exams. I’m in such a bad place right now and studying is the last thing I can manage right now, but I don’t have a choice. My mom did buy me macarons to help though ♡ | my desk + plants
Words on words
it takes years to develop your craft. do not romanticize the idea of an ‘overnight success’. be a student. grow organically. get really good. hate your work. start over. find new ways to express the same ideas. the student becomes the master. your time will come.
It’s totally okay to say “you know what, this isn’t making me happy” and to walk away from whatever or whoever is keeping you from the happiness you deserve
Me, justifying skipping my 8am lecture to sleep
kinda funny when english teachers say stuff like “i can tell if you didnt read the book” or “i can tell when people bs their paper”
no you cant. you can tell when people are bad at bs-ing their paper. i didnt even read the sparknotes and i barely skimmed the wikipedia and you gave me an A. you kneel before my throne unaware that it was born of lies
“YOU KNEEL BEFORE MY THRONE UNAWARE THAT IT WAS BORN OF LIES” IS ONE OF THE GREATEST SENTENCES I’VE EVER READ AND I CAN’T FUCKING BELIEVE IT’S ON A POST ABOUT BULLSHITTING ON ASSIGNMENTS.
