guys guys I think I cracked intrusive thoughts

so you know how when you practice something, the message in your brain travels faster and faster between synapses and basically, it just gets super easy to do the thing as you keep repeating it?

Unwanted thoughts were absolutely raising hell in my brain last week so I tried applying that info like this: every time I have an unwanted thought, I think very intensely about something very good. That "happy place" should have nothing to do with the subject of the Bad Thought™ (to avoid triggering again).

For example, I think about skating with my best friend under a pretty sunset. Corny, right? HOWEVER.

As I keep focusing on this very nice thing every time my brain wants to focus on a very not nice thing, it gets easier to make the switch, and I'm spending less and less time struggling against unwanted thoughts, because I have something ready to occupy that space.

In fact, a lot of the time, I can feel when an unwanted thought or bad image or other thing is coming and I'll go straight to the sunset skate sesh. can't touch this

------- sometimes, these sketchy little intrusive thoughts try and find ways to get into the "happy place" too, and that sucks, but the way I deal with that is declaring that intrusive thoughts don't exist in that alternate universe lol. There are no bad things in that alternate universe, meaning if an intrusive thought appears inside it, it's not my reality thought safe place thing; mine is still safe. Is that maladaptive daydreaming? Idk, but these shadowy lil intrusive suckers aren't getting in there and that's what matters. So make adjustments to ensure the safety! 'tis ok.

It is still a bit of a struggle, and that is also okay. You are NOT your unwanted thoughts. You are whole and beautiful and strong wherever you're at.

This is just my experience lately but I hope it really helps someone out ::)

I don't want to seem like I care, but since poets tend to think:

I will say, if there's any chance I could slip an off-centered comment into existence, a subtle notion into someone's eyes, a "secret message" to an online social server:

It would be that I have been all of the ages you were when you found me. And it never, EVER occurred to me to do anything like what you did.

The differences are security, stability, and sanity itself.

I have greatly enjoyed being wholly free of you. It is my closure.

brain has emptied, or it's too full to take any more. it needs more to write good things. because you have to fit both the content and the technique in there at once. not easy

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

This post is old, but you are STILL ABLE TO GET AHOLD OF TUMBLR STAFF in an emergency: this just happened to me recently. All you have to do is email [email protected] and they will handle the situation for you. Thanks for passing this along, guys!! xo Kate

i am as empty as the high tide yet as full as the dead sea! !!

How i long to craft things with my hands and learn with my heart and smith songs out of the vivid colors in my brain!

The diamonds I have been given go to produce sure fruit, even a shining fig in a blue moon, but the raging inquity of my hazy brain clouds it over before my eyes. who can I be ???!

i have a friend that, god love him, doesn’t photograph well. he’s very laid back but the problem is that his resting face looks absolutely fucking furious and he’s started to lean into it. me and my friends have a few group photos that look like this

Honestly being overworked makes people unobservant and passive and it literally kills people every day. People don’t seem to realize that an overworked nurse might not notice your sepsis symptoms and a tired truck driver might not notice your car when he’s merging into the lane. Failing to protect worker’s rights impacts nearly everyone
