your trauma is not an excuse to be manipulative, nonchalant, or narcissistic towards good people.

Friendly reminder that serotonin and dopamine are not the same thing but they are equally important!

Serotonin gets you motivated. It controls sexual desire and motivation. If levels are normal you'll feel more calm, focused, emotionally stable and overall. When it's too low, you can feel depressed or suffer from insomnia, as serotonin works with melatonin to help you sleep and wake up. It also controls bowel movements and appetite! Serotonin is long lasting.

Dopamine is is short term. It makes us feel good in those same ways but it can wear off if we don't follow through with tasks or plans. Low levels of dopamine can lead to a spiral of issues, just like low serotonin. Dopamine thrives on instant gratification, but doing and seeking said instant gratification long term causes us to feel apathetic, depressed, or even lonely.

In conclusion, to feel a little more emotionally stable, seek things that will cause long term happiness as well as short term. Do things your brain will remember. Oftentimes the things that make us ask ourselves "what did I do today?" are the tasks that are not as fulfilling. Things like being chronically online, watching TV/YouTube, impulse buying, etc.

Here's some examples of dopamine that can really change your life:

Take care of yourselves. In 2024 we are hacking our brains and making sure we have the tools to be happy long term!! ❤️❤️❤️

My Anger Armours Me

Sometimes I hold my anger so close to my heart that it burns and leaves a branded mark.

I question why I lean into rage when I know other ways;

So many coping skills and tools yet I choose this embrace.

The red hot fire almost inspires me to survive,

Like some sort of fucked up thrill I chase to feel alive.

Anger.

The hellfire that fuels my defence against danger;

These deep emotions like fear and grief are easily buried beneath fury.

For it’s far easier to feel rage and wage war than it is to be gentle and heal the hurt underneath.

What’s left of me if I no longer embody fury?

Who will I be if not vengeful and hardened;

If not the goddess of darkness;

If not mistress of madness…

How will I know I am safe;

If I let go of these faces;

If I forfeit the cave of a grave I call home…

If I am no longer angry;

If rage and fury no longer armour me;

What will be left of me…?
