Your best is not the same as your 100%. It's okay to give as much as you CAN not as much as is humanly possible. Giving 100% all the time just leads to burn out.

you have to be kinder to people with memory issues.

you have to be kinder to people who are slow processors.

you have to be kinder to people who don't understand your jokes.

you have to be kinder to people who forget important dates.

you have to be kinder to people with cognitive decline.

you have to be kinder to people who were always this way, too.

you have to be kind. you have to be kind.

glad to see that you’re back! Only tell us things you’re ok with sharing, but what’s new in the life of you? (Or, I guess, old, cuz again, I know it’s been awhile…) also is your shop still around? :D

Awww thank you so much for the message and kind words! I put my shop on vacation mode about a year and a half ago, and I don't think I will ever go back to it. I really should just deactivate it but for some reason I haven't! It was so rewarding and meaningful for 9.5 years of my life, but it came to a point where my focus was elsewhere. Thank you so much to everyone who supported me, as that was such a highlight of my life!

Another update is I finished my master's in clinical psychology about four years ago, and have been working in the mental health field for the past five years. I enjoy the work but it has pretty much consumed my life! Looking back at old posts of mine on here it's been wild to see myself doing the work I always wanted to do. Like I said, I enjoy it but it's been rough at times managing my own mental health in conjunction with other's.

If you or anyone has any more questions I am happy to answer! I'm not sure how personal or specific I will get publicly, but I don't mind the questions. I'm also happy to catch up with anyone mutuals or not! I've become kind of a private person for various reasons but maybe I'm open to changing that slightly!

anyway neurotypicals suck and they double suck if they’re in the psych field

Stop assuming not making eye contact means you’re not being honest 2k16.

If you tell neurodivergent people they need to "get comfortable with being uncomfortable" I am putting gravel in your shoes. No you can't take the gravel out. You have to deal with it. Dealing with it makes you a better person. What do you mean "pointless suffering".

finding a new doctor. applying for jobs. searching for apartments. messaging used car dealers. getting your health insurance to do their job. getting a pharmacy to do their job. getting the dmv to accept the documents they told you to bring. just listing things they probably make you do in hell

Orcanize and find your pod.

I'm not sure if this will come out right but:

Being loved is NOT a reward for being beneficial or useful in any way. You don't become less deserving of being loved if you aren't productive for a day or if you have a bad day and can't get out of bed.

I promise. Being loved has nothing to do with how you "help" the world or those around you.

Also going through old posts there was so much I blocked out and forgot about from the past.. wow.

[slimeandsensitive]

Looking through old posts made reminded me of how bipolar disorder was diagnosed so readily and incorrectly 10-12 years ago. Not to say it still isn't misdiagnosed and overused when there's any sign of elevated mood or mood cycling, but it really shows how mental health professionals slap on that label so easily. Real bipolar disorder exists, however it's much more rare than people think.
