I've been following you for a while so I hope it's not weird to say. I'm so sorry for your loss. :( Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. *hug*

Answering these together so I won’t spam people so much with this.

Thank you so much guys!

I completely ignored my alarm clock today, and have done absolutely nothing save trip back home-related stuff, like calling kennels for Raven and asking my cousin if I can crash at his place in madrid before taking a flight. I think I’m actually going to manage, so BIG THANK YOU to everyone, this means so much more than I could possibly explain with words. Everyone’s seriously amazing and I adore you all so so much <3

In the meantime, I’m trying to distract myself… I feel awkward doing so, like, idk, like it’s not appropriate or something? like watching tv or being here on tumblr now is completely out of line and means I don’t care, but I rationally know I just physically can’t be crying all the time, that it’s normal for grief to come in waves and it’s normal for me to need to “keep going” and to do things to distract myself… but I still feel bad about it… *sighs*

But yes, I promise I’m taking as much care of myself as I possibly can right now. *hugs everyone*

I WANT TO PLAY. It's awful being at that so-broke point that you can't buy a game to make you happy and pass the time. I HOPE YOU FIND FRENS, LI!

lets plays!!!! I think hoodiepanda is probably the best and least annoying. There’s also Markiplier who is hella funny?

the gender book (dot com) is a great resource not just for gender but how it is a broader "respect your fellow person" idea. If you can't get the ebook, they offer an annotated version for free on the website

Oh, excellent, this sounds like exactly the sort of thing I’m looking for! Thanks for the recommendation.

danikaftw answered your question “Hey everyone.  Does anyone have some tips for someone who has...”

I think the core question is: why are they afraid? Is there someone in their life who ODed or is addicted? Or is it a physical reaction to the act of taking them? Cutting them up helps. Making them into a powder and putting into pudding/apple sauce.

Sorry I wasn’t more specific.  I was referring to the anxiety that a lot of Spoonies develop, after being sick for a while, about taking a handful of pills.  Some of us end up on a lot of supplements and/or scripts (I take around 12 pills at every meal).  And for whatever reason, a lot of us start being unable to make ourselves physically swallow them.  I managed to get past my anxiety after a while.  But I was still able to at least take them one at a time.  And this wasn’t going to help the person I was talking to.

It's okay to be afraid. Medical issues are scary. It's okay to admit to being afraid. It's a way you can gather people around you to remind yourself that even though you live alone, you aren't /alone/. I wish I lived near you just so I could give you a hug, say it is OK, and offer to drive you to the doctor/ER and hold your hand if needed.

<3 Thank you so much! This was so kind. *hugs*

Danika made me watch Political Animals.

I don't know what emotions I'm feeling right now. There are too many.

I just have one question.

DID THIS MOTHERFUCKING BULLSHIT SERIOUSLY FUCKING END ON A CLIFFHANGER?!
