actually you will not enjoy hearing this but you literally have to abandon your self deprecating humor. besides the fact that it can drive people away you literally are only hurting yourself by constantly making jokes that further cement the idea in your head that you are not good enough. I do not care that you think its a good coping mechanism it is absolutely not and you need to start challenging negative thoughts instead of feeding into them.

I showed this to my boyfriend and he sprinted to the cupboard and pulled this out

Oh….it’s true
You’ve heard of “brought characters into a situation, now you don’t know how to get them out”—now get ready for: You know exactly how to get the characters out of this situation, but you have no idea how to get them into it.
if a hand kiss isn’t done with either reverent trembling and closed eyes or with a certain slow sensuality and direct ‘fuck me’ eye contact, you are wasting my time and everyone else’s
While I am a fan of both of these kinds, I feel like limiting all available variety of hand kisses to only these two is missing quite a lot.
For instance:
- “I was just holding your hand to convey sincerity and you said something I don’t have an immediate answer to, so I’m going to kiss your hand instead.”
- “you’re only semi-lucid and are sort of reaching for my face and for various reasons I shouldn’t kiss YOUR face, but your hand is right here and I still need to convey affection”
- “your hand is the only part of you with only minor injuries and the doctor [healer, whatever] is right there and will get mad at me if I move you”
- “you were going to play-hit me but I’m actually much faster in the reflexes than you and also my catching your hand and kissing it is part of our game”
- “you just touched my face so your palm is right there”
- “I’m extremely happy about something and this felt like the best spontaneous action, what am I, an expert on motivations?”
- “this is YOUR hand, so it is particularly delightful to me”
- “we were cuddling and holding hands and I felt like it”
- “I was just struck by the overwhelming delight I feel at your existence and your hand was the most conveniently positioned thing to kiss in response to this thought process”
… .to name but a few.
time for a little controversy but “art style theft” is fake bullshit made up on DA if you want to take traits from mine or anyone elses art style its okay im flattered to see slivers of my influence in others artwork and no one owns anything go fucking crazy no one can stop you and its completely normal to do, be inspired by your peers. (just don’t trace obviously)
dont care didnt ask plus your pessimistic outlook on life is exhausting
"we all die" "love is pointless" "its never gonna get better" yeah ok bitch maybe!!!! i dont care tho im still gonna love with my entire heart and live every day like its my last!!!
Cool post but I have depression
so do i man. not an excuse to bring other people down.
patient: so the symptoms I've been having are—
doctor:
God I wish that were me. Literally every single person in my family has a thyroid disease and my doctor still claims my symptoms are "just anxiety" and refuses to test me
turns out doctors will test your thyroid if you have literally anything except a thyroid problem
You guys know you can switch doctors or demand that they indicate in your chart that they are refusing to test you, right?
I spent my entire adolescence going around to over 30 different absolutely clueless specialists more than half of whom insisted on testing my thyroid function despite being able to see in my records that it had already been tested a dozen times but thanks I guess
"Just switch doctors and make demands "??? In this economy???
Learning to advocate for yourself at the doctor is one of the biggest hurdles of early chronic illness. Here are some things someone could practice saying (practice with family, friends, or other safe people who will play this out with you):
“my thyroid function was checked recently. That information should be accessible to you in my chart. If it isn’t, please let me know so that I can get you those results. In the meantime, what else might be causing my symptoms?”
“Ive explored that avenue with other physicians. what else might be causing my symptoms?”
“I’d like to test ____. Can you order that one?” [if they say no] “Please note in my records that I requested that test and you declined to order it. I’ll wait here while you do that.” [then, ask the nurse for an after-visit summary that includes the doctor’s notes to check that they did it]
When in doubt- bring a friend!! There’s no reason why doctors appointments have to be solitary, and a friend can help you remember stuff you wanted to say, remember stuff the doctor said back, be brave and advocate for yourself, and if necessary, advocate for you.
I’ve recently had to explain “I have been suffering from anxiety/panic attacks for more than 20 years, so I know what those feel like. This is new.”
It worked, though.
Write things down before and during. Bring notes on what you need to talk about. Take notes on what the doctor is telling you.
If you request your records they have 30 days to comply or it’s a HIPPA violation. They can charge up to 10 cents per page for printing cost.
It can also be difficult to self-advocate if you have mental health problems on record. I know I’ve had doctors who pointed to my diagnosed anxiety disorder to claim I was just a hypochondriac when I was so sick it was hard to WALK.
One thing that seriously helps:
If you are having physical problems misconstrued as mental illness and have a good therapist or psychiatrist, ask them to vouch for you in writing.
My psychiatrist writing me a note that said, “actually my professional opinion is that this person’s anxiety is well-controlled, please take that into account and FUCKING BELIEVE HER PLEASE”, and he was listened to more than I was.
If you can get other professionals on your side it really is helpful.
Is it deeply fucked up that some doctors won’t trust that you know your own body? Yes. But in the moment, trying to find other ways to get yourself heard can be a necessary sacrifice. Do that first and lodge any complaints later — ESPECIALLY if you think you’ve been discriminated against or dismissed base on race/age/gender because that happens a ton.
And ALWAYS keep a paper trail.
EDIT: Even if you’re not dealing with illness actually I’d love if people would rb to spread it. Self-advocacy is hard and working needlessly difficult systems to get vital help all alone can be a deeply demoralizing experience.

Transmisogynists have been talking about putting “terfs don’t interact” banners on their own posts to trick people into reblogging them
So remember to look at people’s urls before reblogging
Every fucking time this post blows up I get terfs in my notes. Which means some of you well meaning people reblogging this have terf followers without even knowing
This is mildly blasphemous, but in the Toy Story universe do baby Jesus figurines from nativity sets think they’re actually Jesus, or are they just like. Babies
