just you wait. the moment i turn all this internalized shame and guilt into a drive to improve it's over for you bitches. the moment i do that. super easily. the moment...
bad news ☹️ they told me self-flagellation doesn't work as a motivator and i will never escape the cycle if i don't learn self-compassion ☹️☹️☹️
sometimes when I’m being especially self deprecating and convinced no one likes me I have to tell myself “you’re being goob. you are being goob right now”
The trick is to be more curious than you're scared.
"if being hard on yourself was going to work it would have worked by now" okay well being soft on myself isn't working either so what the fuck is left. medium? I gotta be medium with myself? I gotta ask the fucking ghosts for help? is that it?
I used to work with preschoolers and as a consequence watch parents work with their preschoolers so I kind of in my head often compare it to that.
You can’t let a preschooler wander off into traffic naked even though many of them would very much like to do that. At the same time though you also shouldn’t yell at them for struggling when they can’t figure out how to tie a knot because that’s a hard task and they’re like three.
No you can’t go out in the rain without a coat on. I know you don’t like sleeves but you don’t want to get cold and wet either do you? But you do want to walk to church and see your friends. Sometimes we’ve gotta do things we don’t like to avoid things we’d like even worse. But you get to see your friends once we get there.
And sometimes you’ve gotta talk to yourself like you’re a preschooler. And it weirdly works.
I know you don’t like doing the dishes but you like having dishes to eat off of, right? Yeah I know it’s upsetting but we’ll make a nice cup of tea and have a cookie afterwards. Oh I know it’s hard. It’s okay to cry. Let it out and then we can finish the dishes and get a cookie.
i gotta remember this
“I thought she was sleeping until I heard her call out from across the room, “Will you bring me a glass of water?” I did. Then in her always-sleepy tone and drawl she said, “Do you remember when you were a little girl and you would ask your mama to bring you a glass of water?” Yeah. “You know how half the time you weren’t even thirsty. You just wanted that hand that was attached to that glass that was attached to that person you just wanted to stay there until you fell asleep.” She took the glass of water that I brought her and just sat it down full on the table next to her. Wow, I thought. What am I gonna do with love like this.”
— One Night from Dito Montiel’s A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints
“Stop thinking about saving your fragile face. Tell us your particularized world. Make up a story. Narrative is radical, creating us at the very moment it is being created. We will not blame you if your reach exceeds your grasp. We will not blame you if your words go down in flames and nothing is left but the raw-scald. We will not blame you if, with the reticence of a surgeon’s hands, your words suture only the red places where blood might flow. We will not blame you because we know you can never do it properly: once and for all. Passion is never enough. Talent is never enough. Skill is never enough. But try. For our sake and yours. So. Forget your name in the street; tell us what the world has been to you in the dark places and in the light. Don’t tell us what to believe, what to fear. Show us belief’s wide skirt and the stitch that unravels fear’s caul. You, so blessed with occasional blindness, can speak the language that tells us what only language can: how to see without pictures. We tell ourselves stories in order to live.”
— Toni Morrison, The Nobel Lecture In Literature, 1993

the human brain is so cool, if you're tired and stressed enough, your brain will go, "don't worry, I got you" and shadows will start moving
and what's the genital situation on the shadows
oh this is my post

this coffee tastes like i can still have a beautiful life
The most obsession inducing trait a character can have for me is knowing somewhere in their heart That They Are A Bad Kid
This isn't necessarily literal. It can apply to characters who aren't children too. But there's something about characters who are either certain of the fact, or terrified of the possibility, that they are just fundamentally wrong and bad at their core
It is also important to me that it is not true. No one is fundamentally broken and evil.
if I just had the presence of mind and the wherewithal and the chutzpah and the bandwidth and the executive function and the energy and the mental resources and the spoons and the right attitude and the capacity and the gumption and th
what's a good physical health analogy for mental health i can use against a very mean invalidating person (my own mind)
hey so ummm. i' m going to try and keep this brief but basically! my deeply abusive mother has gone completely and utterly off the deep end and is (supposedly) abandoning me to fuck of to brazil to stay with her "husband" (who again. she's known for less than a year. has only dated for 4 months before marrying. who neither of them speak the same language as and need to use google translate to communicate. who has been deported out of the country after being arrested for felony trespassing at our old apartment when he was supposed to be at work 6 hours away. and who is My Fucking Age.) full time, only traveling back here so she can stay a USA citizen and continue to collect her SSDI while essentially forcing me to either pay the full ~1.7k (amenities included in this price) rent alone (i have no income. i am severely disabled and cannot currently work but do not currently qualify for SSI either though once Again i am working on this...) or end up homeless by the end of may.
she is refusing to help me get to any of my medical appointments (i cannot drive due to said conditions) in the meantime or even speak to me anymore (she is insane) and i am now currently attempting to swap out any medical appointments i can to go through either telehealth or a transportation service (i need to call my insurance. i am so tired.)
she has triangulated the entire family against me because once again, she Is abusive and none of them are willing to rock the boat with her or help me either, to the point where my aunts only offers have been to demand that i get a job (i tried this. the government literally deemed me unfit to work.) do inpatient or outpatient (this is not helpful. what i need is a permanent way OUT of this situation.) or look into homeless shelters (lol.) my uncle said in no short words that he "does not believe me and is not interested in supporting me because we have no family bond" (okay man) and my brother has gone so far as to actively lie to our (formerly) mutual friends telling them i have "more money than him and my mom combined" (???) and that i am "misrepresenting his mother and his relationship" by calling her abusive (????????)
so um. needless to say at this point that even IF she's bluffing (unlikely given how often she's been talking about this imo) then it's still clearly not safe for me to continue to stay here and keep putting myself at risk, especially since she has escalated to physical aggression within the last year. (her "husband" has done similar and has a noted temper as well. even if she only plans a temporary visit i find it extremely unlikely that he's going to "let" her come back to the states once she's there.)
i do have a plan still, though i am working out the kinks and have a LOT of phone calls to make and individuals to contact and i'm kind of fucking exhausted so i don't want to get into it right now. that said, i would Very Much Appreciate It if i could get some further help.
once again you can find my paypal link here, please do not feel obligated to donate anything if you cannot afford it. i know shit is fucking Bad for everyone right now, and i do not want anyone to feel pressured but i do very much have a strict time limit now and need to get my own act together. thank you (i am so fucking tired)
did i post this here before? maybe
