Okay, uh... I need to give Al a break... I think he's loosing it right now...

But yeah... ask away, but I might not answer as fast, saying that I gotta go clean the house and Alastor feels like he's going to kill the next person who talks to him... so... uh.... yeah ;v;

-your pal, Lu Lu.

(Yay! There's my name.... yeah, and don't you dare start making fun of it. It has nothing to do with Lucifer)

Hate that when I have time off that I still feel like there is something coming. Some appointment, a deadline or some task i have to do even though there is none. The inability to just relax since years... because my brain is always in alert and “omg what if we forgot something” or just feeling guilty for relaxing and just focusing on something unproductive like playing a game.

Literally the only things I manage to sign my brain off is with watching movies and dramas but also only when they are gripping enough to distract me.

Post traumatic stress disorder.

If you’re Struggling with posttraumatic stress disorder I promise you there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I got over my post traumatic stress disorder mostly without medication which was really difficult. It’s hard to describe the process of get better; especially with the demands of the world, it can be difficult to take the time to heal.  I really learned that sitting with it to the point of beating a dead horse help me overcome it. By intensifying and descalating the pain of the struggle, I was able to regain some control. learning how to keep your mind silent is key. the only way to keep the mind silent is to feel. Breathing, pinching yourself, walking, allowing your mind to wander. many times I did not allow any emotion to go unrecognized or unexpressed.  you can feel very alone because others really can’t help you with such a deep wound. You can feel emotionlessly numb, sadly you almost have to take a complete break from the world as hard as that may be, I removed all external influences. I remember my nervous system being so shocked that when I went to bed my body tangled with rage and I literally had pain in my brain to the point where sleeping never seem to come and sleeping was my only relief. Like bridling a hell horse, no matter how much it kicks, screams; you always have to keep that rope in your hand, and as the horses flames dies downs, it becomes easier to ride. 

Now recalling, I pictured in my mind who I used to be prior to the event, breathing into that self image helped a lot in recovering my sense of well-being. As a person who’s dealt with trauma before, I was kind of able to sit outside myself while my body was able to recover. I guess it’s really about learning to cycle things within and keep things moving, so as not to stay internally.  Self imaging, body sensation, mind silence and physical rehabilitation, and a bit of medication; is the cycling system I used to regain well-being.  I felt like I had to learn how to walk again and you pretty much have to learn how to walk again, learn to use the body helps becoming comfortable in your skin. Gaining physical ability back helps the body gets stronger the mind will reflect that and it’ll bounce in between each other. on some level the mind and the body separate because your brain triggers a survival mechanism to remove yourself from such a tragic feeling. ultimately I didn’t wanna rely on pharmaceuticals for the rest of my life, I was on them for about, I don’t know 4 months maybe less. Cry when you want to, be mad when you want to, be alone when you need to and never forget your breathing, While developing a cycling system to to fight stagnation. This is something that has to be done not for months, perhaps years until you get better. 

I’ve noticed that people tend to want an instant gratification solution or figure they could do something for a few months but really in most cases, it has to be done continuously and become a part of you ultimately.

Taking a 2-day-Me-day

About that time of the month...Feeling under the weather...Taking a Me day or 2. My logic is that school is about 1hr away, today and tomorrow there’s not much going on that I can’t read up on myself or hand in online, I did very well on midterms so I aint sweating it and I’ve things I need to do like file my taxes, meal prep, buy a car, take care of my health, hit up the hot tub, hit up the sauna, go to yoga and the gym. Balancing and weighing priorities woot!

When you are stressed about stress

I am stressed that I have stress and when I think of ways to calm my stress I think back to my fourth grade counselor. She told me to breath and i just got more stressed because I hated that counselor and they made me stressed about taking about my stress. now all I think about is ways my 10 year old self wanted to murder my counselor and I feel calmer after releasing my pent up issues by thinking of ways to not get caught for murder

Behind the Story – Writing During Stressful Times

I would love to say I’m a writer who can write during stressful times in my life, but I can’t say that. Every time I feel my stress levels go up, I freeze up at the keyboard and do anything but write. That in turn creates an avalanche of emotion inside of me that can turn into a huge storm that can sometimes take days to work through. And I can’t just blame it all on hormones and stuff either…
