Just want to be an androgynous gothic elven prince

I cant believe some people have enough money to make major impacts on the world and they just….dont do it. wouldn’t you rather your legacy be the guy who saved the world rather than the guy who had an un-spendable amount of money and hoarded it all I mean we can probably rule out the notion that any one of those guys would give up their billions just out of the goodness of their hearts but I can’t believe the potential headline “multi billionaire donates wealth, single handedly ends poverty” doesn’t appeal to them in slightest

“Guys, Ruby’s not into girly stuff so she shouldn’t be wearing a skirt!”

This just in: if you like gender-non-conforming things you’re not allowed to wear anything traditionally feminine.

it’s like a time capsule from hell

Ugh, Yeah this is a vent post.

Just. Uugh. Everything’s been terrible this month and everything I’ve been really excited for is just falling apart on me and I’m trying to stay optimistic but. I have spent this entire summer waiting and hoping for friendship and happiness and there’s only so much action I can take. It’s my fault, isn’t it...? I was quiet most of the time and every time I open my mouth it’s a social blunder and maybe I’m just a bad person. But no, nothing that happened was my fault, just a series of unfortunate coincidences that pile up to a shitty summer. Everything’s been breaking, everyone’s been leaving, and I’m sick of just *waiting* and *hoping*. I wanted a job, but I can’t fucking drive because fucking anxiety, I wanted friendship but everywhere I turn it’s too much energy for me, I’m just *bored* and *lonely* and ughhh. Being confident benefits no one but me, and I ain’t making any friends through my confident honest love of what I’m into. Magical girls are a fucking 12 year old thing, what business do I have being into magical girl anime? And I’m a shitty artist no matter how hard I try, and I’m a boring person otherwise, and I can’t do anything for my friends so I guess that’s why I don’t have any. What even the fuck. Why can’t I just be mature for two fucking seconds, god I hate myself.

One thing I think is useful to conceptualize when thinking about the severity of depression is figuring out what counts as a ‘task’ to your brain

for example, healthy people outlining the tasks they need to do that day might be something like

- class - work - homework

if a healthy person is having a low energy day, maybe it becomes

- make breakfast - go to class - class - go to work - work - come home from work - work on an essay - do 2 readings

a depressed person, on a high energy day will probably see that same day as

- make breakfast - eat breakfast - take meds - shower - get dressed - walk to bus - take bus … etc

a depressed person, on a low energy day will see that same day as

- wake up - get out of bed - walk to bathroom - use bathroom - stand back up - walk to kitchen - open fridge - take out juice - set on counter - go to cabinet - reach up arm - take down glass - unscrew lid of juice carton - pour juice - drink the juice - finish the juice …etc

the sort of chronic exhaustion manifests in how each ‘task’ takes a certain amount of energy and when you have depression, what begins to take that amount of energy- and thus, cognitively count as a ‘task’- are smaller and smaller subdivisions of what other people consider tasks.

And the more ‘tasks’ you do, the less energy you have, and the smaller the subdivisions must be to take equivalent amounts of energy. And the longer that “to do” list of tasks is, the more exhausting and overwhelming and hopeless it feels, which creates a feedback loop of dysfunction.

So say our depressed person on a low energy day gets all the way to finishing their glass of juice. They’ve actually gotten through a lot of tasks! They’ve tried really hard.

But to a healthy person, even on a low energy day, that probably looks like not having done anything- not having gotten through any tasks. And when our depressed person is surrounded by healthy people, they will likely internalize that they haven’t done anything, and further that they can’t complete any tasks no matter how hard they try. And that feeds worthlessness and suicidal ideation

That, I think, is why it’s so important to encourage your depressed and chronically low-energy friends when they accomplish tasks, even if they’re operating at a level of subdivision that you don’t recognize. It is an accomplishment to get water and actually drink it for some folks. It is an accomplishment to get to class or to work.

And acknowledging how hard someone is trying and how much energy they’re putting towards accomplishing those tasks can make a huge difference in whether they feel worthless and hopeless or whether they feel like it’s worth it to keep doing what they can.
