Girl who's like "oh but I don't want to be the one who says no to everything all the time" vs environment that routinely asks for lots of her time to be spent on things she gets nothing out of when she's already struggling to keep up with the stuff she actually likes.

"Don't just say no to everything" is useful advice if you're missing out on new experiences and getting stuck in your comfort zone but it stops being useful when it results in a situation where you can reliably be talked into doing stuff you know you don't want to if someone just nags you about it

The little voice saying "just this one time can't hurt" is lying to you because it's not just going to be the one time, the one time is going to set a precedent that will lead to more times. The word no exists for a reason. Use it.

This post is especially for various neurodivergent/disabled people who grew up being pushed to do more than they had capacity for all the time and guilted out of asserting their limits constantly.

You are allowed to say no, and you should do it quicker and more often.

i went to trivia last night w friends and one of the questions was something along the lines of “what’s the name of the revolver that was used in the old west” and i (somewhat confidently) gave the correct answer. naturally my friends asked how i knew that and i just had to sit there like 🙂 lucky guess instead of explaining it was because of fanfiction research

“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

for my fellow psychotics who struggle with thinking someone is in their house, a method I’ve found that really works are these guys:

i put them on my front door and anytime it opens they ring. that way if i think someone has broken in or i see someone who isn’t there i can think back to if the bells have rung, and if they haven’t i can assure myself it’s not real. obviously it’s not fool proof, like if you are prone to auditory hallucinations, but it has really helped me calm down in time to avoid major psychotic breaks. it’s a real lifesaver
