i need constant attention and love because i’m four years old

What an autistic person says: "How long is it going to take?"

What they mean: "I want to know whether to activate my short term waiting mode where I just wait and do nothing else, or activate my long term waiting mode where I occupy my mind with something else. I fully understand that both are possibilities, and I have no problem whatsoever with either one, but I want more information so I can best adapt to the situation."

What neurotypical people hear: "I am impatient and demand that everything I want happen right now. Please scold me and publicly humiliate me for it."

Guardian demon superstition

As many of you know I grew up in a very superstitious family and community if I'm completely honest.

I'm sure we all heard of the Guardian Angel the divine all good natured protector that teaches you good values.

Well we had a Guardian Demon as well.

We were told your Guardian Angel stands on your right and your Guardian Demon on your left.

{ and all things else stand behind or in front }

We were taught that our Guardian demons were not bad things, just like the Guardian angel, they are both protectors in their pwm right which we've had in every life time. They've both been with us since the day of our creation and they both love us dearly.

They are both needed for a balanced life.

For example here are the main things I was told they taught us as kids.

The angel teaches grace, dignity, the importance of caring for others, love for others and forgiveness. They are the first ones that teach us compassion.

The demon teaches of pride in ourselves, love for ourselves, self respect, and to move forward. They are the first ones that teach us how to bare our teeth and growl.

We both try to teach us what's needed and what they feel is right though sometimes they can be wrong but it's not meant to harm or hurt. They truly are trying to help us in their own way. They were both tasked in being our guardians and will be so as they see fit.

Sure the demon has it's own motives but the angel does as well doesn't dismiss the fact they both love us dearly and will warn us in their own way when it's needed.

I was always told angels were more bold and extroverted while demons were more cunning and introverted though I suppose it differs with each person and their guardians.

But no matter what they both always accept you and love you. Their love is truly unconditional and unbreakable. Their acceptance of us has no limit, I'm sure there is times they could be disappointed but doesn't change they love and accept us.

When we are hurting the angel comforts while the demon spins a web to harm the one that hurt us.

Guardian angels love sending messages and telling us things, though

I was told as a child

" Always listen to your angel but when your demon warns you then you better listen good and well. If the demon tells you something that it's very important cause they don't like talking much. "

" Always ask your angel for help first and only ask the demon when it's completely necessary. "

i think it’s important to acknowledge that there is a contingent of doctors who have been... uh... coasting ever since med school ended. here’s a quick crash course in telling them apart

competent doctor: recognizes that your symptoms sound familiar but also realizes that the illness is outside the scope of their expertise, so they give you a referral

incompetent doctor: doesn’t recognize your symptoms, chalks it all up to a mental health and/or weight problem and refuses any follow-up care

competent doctor: stays up to date on the latest research in their field, is interested in sharing newly-discovered information with you

incompetent doctor: maintains the absolute minimum amount of knowledge to not have their license revoked

competent doctor: approaches their patients with good faith

incompetent doctor: assumes all patients are deceptive and have ulterior motives

competent doctor: recognizes crying and other overt pain symptoms as unacceptable and tries to resolve your pain any way they’re able

incompetent doctor: ignores pain and either refuses to attempt to treat yours or willingly worsens it during a treatment by ignoring your reactions

competent doctor: realizes they don’t have all the answers, isn’t intimidated by the thought that you attend other doctors

incompetent doctor: views their patients as income-generators and feels personally insulted when you attempt to leave their practice

competent doctor: recognizes all their patients are people; will be transparent about your treatment and speak to you with advanced and specific terminology if you demonstrate that you understand

incompetent doctor: views patients as a sub-class of people, justifies lying to patients as “for their own good”

Sometimes I don’t think neurotypical/cishet people understand what is means when neurodivergent, queer, and other marginalized groups that fit within Voidpunk essentially say like “I don’t want to exist, existing feels really weird” like no this doesn’t normally mean “I wanna die” this particular phrase means “why was I stuffed inside a human body, existing a human life; I’m okay with being alive but why am I subjected to human responsibility. I want to sit on the side of the road and pet geese as civilians drive by, I want to expand my infinite cloak and encompass the sky, I want to pick things up then put them back down only slightly different than they were before to confuse people as I watch as a shadow on their wall, I want to occasionally disappear into the void of space and vibe only to return to my body when I feel like doing something I need an autonomous form for; not write a term paper”

I feel like the line between “fluffy uwu self care” and “get your shit together self care” is thinner than people seem to think. Like, sitting in a quiet space with a book and maybe some twinkly fairy lights gives me the spoons to go call my damn doctor like I’ve been meaning to. Bath bombs or shower steamers make me feel content and/or sparkly, which gives me confidence to go out in public. (Plus, I bathed.) I dye my hair funky colors so if I feel like people are staring at me I can say it’s at that instead of whatever my anxiety wants it to be. 

The two are not mutually exclusive, is what I’m getting at, and I never see that mentioned, just either “self care is being nice to yourself” or “self care is kicking yourself in the ass to function for a few hours”. Kick yourself in the ass with niceness.
