mental health cats- realistic positvity

devoted to spreading realistic positivity around mental health and disability recovery (and cats). Asks are welcomed! (as long as they are made in good faith). Obligatory youtuber-like disclaimer: I am not a professional therapist. My advice comes from years of personal experience and research I do on relevant topics. I am not exclusionary and fully endorse having all the gender goofiness and cool and fun identities, as long as there is no harm to others! Also we love nuance here. They weren’t lying in DBT when they say black and white thinking is misleading and oversimplifying.

Lumpfish come in a variety of shapes and colors.

[He scoops up the fish, it spits water and he turns it toward the camera]

This one is stumpy and green. Very beautiful, very powerful.

[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]

This is what a normal lumpfish looks like. It is more elongated, but still a vibrant blue color. Very beautiful, very powerful.

[He picks up another fish and turns it toward the camera]

This is one of the stumpiest ones we have. Its hump is very high. It is very stumpy, but yet very beautiful, and very powerful.

[He pans over a lot of fish, all looking up at the camera]

My fish army is ever growing, and soon I will over throw the world. Very beautiful, very powerful.

because of this tiktok, i frequently murmur "very beautiful, very powerful" at myself, and i cannot recommend it enough.

U can grieve and still live life. U can miss loving someone and love others. You can hold onto the good moments and simultaneously the bad moments. You can take the learning from a person you let go off and use it for the better. You can love someone and they may not be the right person. You can wish someone the best and love them from a distance. You can think fondly of someone and never talk to them again.. mysteries of the world…

As my theater professor said, “Smart people can hold two opposing ideas in their heads at once.”

So I kept telling my husband to stop unfolding his clean clothes and leaving them on the floor, and he insisted he wasn’t doing any of that even though I had the evidence.

Just found the cat pulling t-shirts out of his drawer, which had been left slightly ajar. The culprit has escalated from trashcan crimes and is trying to cause upset in my marriage now.

I discovered the ruse a bit faster than the former but she ALSO pulls clothes off the hangers by trying to “climb” them so she can sit on the top closet shelf.

get her a cat tower, she wants to be tall

[sandersstudies]

She HAS a cat tower it’s the tallest one the store had

And she has LOTS of toys and many snackies she has NO reason to cause mischief except her own bastardly motivation.

Any tips for not falling into permanent despair?

I suppose remembering that there is no greater act of defiance that living a full life

Made a wallpaper of this (pastel and bright version!)

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

Being an asshole is not in the DSM. Not everyone you hate is mentally ill and not everyone who does bad things is mentally ill either.

The DSM is a highly flawed and politicized way to define mental health disabilities that I have a lot of personal gripes with, but even THEY don't have "Shitty Asshole Disease" as a mental illness.
