maybe this to-do list will fix me

I left my job last Friday cos I’m going back to uni and it’s so freeing and exciting and the goodbye was so overwhelming, my team, service users and families made me cry several times and I’m gonna miss it but I’m sososo excited for this next chapter

I’m also taking 3 weeks off before I study and it’s the first time in my life I’ve been ‘unemployed’ and ngl I’m so fucking grateful for the rest, I didn’t know how bad my body and brain needed it but I feel so different rn

Maybe it’s just my soup-loving instincts, but food in a bowl is so much better than food on a plate. Why eat a salad on a plate when I can eat it in a bowl? Why eat pasta on a plate when I can eat it in a bowl? Mashed potatoes and gravy! Pie and ice cream! Curry! Soups and stews! Beans! Bowls are Round and Good and shaped for your hands! Hold bowl close and feel warmth!! Heck yeah!!

Some minors on this site are acting like people in their twenties are like ancient

[dickneto2-deactivated20210815]

Sorry to tell you but twenties is young. Thirties is young. Some of y’all are just in this state of mind that your twenties are the end of your life and it might seem like that for some of you but that’s just society pressuring y’all to be #young and #beautiful forever when you’re. A teen

[dickneto2-deactivated20210815]

Pop culture has done irreparable damage to teens and young adults to the point where they’re using filters to make the nature creases in their skin invisible. Like… everyone has wrinkles. It’s not a sign of aging it’s a sign of being a HUMAN

being an adult and buying your own shit is so weird i don't understand why anything is priced the way it is. why did my tattoo cost 8 toothpastes? why does a pair of socks cost a sandwich but a fancy dinner costs a whole jacket? why is book the same cost as 2 bag frozen vegetables? nothing makes sense i just wanna steal.

I’m laughing, but there’s a super useful corollary, which my husband calls “the Red Balloon.” He was a defense lawyer and had a fair number of drug addicts come through, and there is a thing where if you’re like, on your first offense, they’ll do a thing where you can go to treatment and if you complete it they’ll take the conviction off your record.  And he would tell his clients, “Look, everyone’s going to tell you not to do drugs. They’re going to say it over and over again. And it’s like, if people tell you not to think of a white elephant, you’re going to think of a white elephant. But the trick to not thinking about a white elephant is to think of a red balloon. So you need to find your red balloon. For some people it’s yoga. For others it’s woodworking. For some people it’s scrapbooking or gardening or any of a long list of things to do. They focus on that, it’s a lot easier to succeed in ignoring the white elephant.” So yeah, “watch yourself” is one thing… but the better idea is to watch something else. (Even if it’s fanfic about werewolves fucking.)

It’s a form of productive dissociation, and is super, super helpful. It’s easy for me to get bogged down in how much pain I’m in… but some of the most painful periods of my life have also been the most productive, writing-wise, because writing is one of my red balloons.

There is a phrase I use A LOT in my parenting and my son gets very sick of it, but it’s true:

The thing you practise is the thing you get good at.

You may not intentionally be practicing “being grumpy” but if you don’t put effort into practicing “not being grumpy” then I’m afraid that’s what you’re doing. It’s hard! It’s really hard! Sometimes, for some things, it’s pretty much impossible and that sucks!

But being carefully aware that you are going to get good at the things you do most of is a good way to be more careful of what those things are. If that makes sense.

You gotta appreciate sometimes how tumblr works in such a way that everyone who wants to reblog this interesting or useful psychological advice is also forced to reblog the thing about werewolf fucking

Ive been putting extra effort into letting jamie acc take photos of me this holiday and it’s so nice ngl, I never have photos of me and always regret it when I look back!!

It’s 28 degrees out, we’re in the most beautiful cottage by the seaside, and my mood has absolutely skyrocketed ☀️

I went to the dentist for the first time in 7 years today, I need a lot of work but I’m just so proud I did it (I only cried in the chair once so it’s a win) after years of depression and neglecting my teeth it’s a massssive step

He also told me I could still be eligible for jaw surgery in the future, I was meant to have it as a teen and it all got fucked up, and I lost all hope of it when I was 18 because I was told nhs funding doesn’t cover adults but apparently it’s judged on an individual basis and I’d likely qualify?? It’s thrown me so much I didn’t even realise I still wanted it tbh?? Turns out it’s been hanging over me for over a decade??
