So much of managing your mental health is just…learning to parent yourself like you’re a toddler

Like, “Honey, it’s 10 pm and you’ve been up since four in the morning, no wonder you’re emotional. Plus all you’ve had to eat today was three chocolate truffles and a half a protein drink. Make yourself some scrambled eggs and peas, you can even put them in separate bowls so they don’t touch. Then go to bed. You can do more fun things tomorrow, but first you need to sleep. Okay?”

In the old days we didn’t call this managing mental health, we called this managing being an adult.

Interesting, that.

See, I’m five years into adulthood. I have a college degree (a few in fact), a car, insurance payments, a job, yada yada. I ostensibly joined the Grown Up Club a few years back.

But, having grown up with a number of undiagnosed disorders and mental illnesses, I never learned a healthy style of self-talk.

If I’m honest, between depression and anxiety, the way I grew up talking to myself was abusive. I’m not kidding; if the things I thought to and about myself were said aloud to someone else, it would be considered verbal and emotional abuse.

So this idea of treating myself like a small child? With the same loving firmness and compassion?

This is a radical idea for me.

This is me learning to stop those abusive thought patterns, and talk to myself in a kinder, healthier way.

And it doesn’t have much to do with adulthood. I know adults who have treated themselves unkindly this way for many years. A healthy relationship with yourself doesn’t just sprout once you’re an adult; you have to develop it.

Those are my thoughts anyway. I hope they make sense.

I speak English.

I live in Japan and only speak English and maybe 20Japanese phrases. I grew up in a world of "go back where you came from. This is America. We speak English here." Not once has any individual in Japan told me, "This is Japan. We speak Japanese here. Go back where you came from." Not one time.

Individuals give up their seats in waiting rooms, on trains, or on busses here when they see me pregnant or carrying my children. No words, just a simple standing and gesturing for me to sit in their place. I can barely thank them on their language.

Masks were work here before a global pandemic ever surfaced. Before Covid-19 was circulating rampantly, the Japanese people wore masks to protect their communities. Not themselves. Me. They didn't want ME. They didn't want me to get their sniffles, and they expect me to not want to give them mine.

It's not political. It's not an infringement of rights. It's a matter of, "Maybe it's allergies, but I don't know that for sure , so I wear a mask to keep from spitting on you when I speak."

Freedom is a beautiful thing, yes. Collectivism isn't a threat to freedom, y'all. Caring about someone else's reality doesn't make you weak, and for the love of God, it doesn't make you a "sheeple".

Community is a beautiful thing. So is compassion. So is empathy.

I love my country dearly, hear that. But in so many ways, I KNOW we can do better.

me marching my country dyke ass into chik-fil-a: Hi y’all could I please have a 12-count nugget and a frosted lemonade :)

[tinybutchtim-deactivated2018100]

i am a texas dyke who goes out of my way to eat at chik-fil-a but um this isn’t some HuffPo overreaction

http://equalitymatters.org/factcheck/201207020001 they fund anti-gay rights groups https://thinkprogress.org/chick-fil-a-still-anti-gay-970f079bf85/ and also directly fund conversion therapy organizations

this isn’t a “all businesses are bad!!!” thing….this is a serious specific instance of millions of dollars going to traumatizing, torturing, brainwashing, assaulting, and raping lgbt children

[fuck-philip-banks]

this just in: REGs are now making extra effort to support an extremely homophobic organization that spends its money as a force against gay rights specifically because an unrelated article about how shitty it is used the word queer in its headline

[aromantic-jolteon]

IMAGINE THINKING THE FUCKING WASHINGTON POST GIVES A FUCK ABOUT TUMBLR QUEER DISCOURSE Oh my lords. It just… how detached from reality are these poor fools?

But yeah, fuck chick-fil-a. As usual.
