I just achieved Perfection for the first time ever on Stardew Valley and I'm just, so stoked I can't even explain it.

As someone who previously could hardly make it into Year 2 before I got bored/burn out the fact that I played this save for FOUR MONTHS and have over 120 hours in it and am half way through Year 4...

I'm just so happy. I had to share.

I used a lot of journaling/note taking and encouraged myself to take breaks as a way to help prevent burnout. I've learned a lot on how to better tackle games so I can actually enjoy them long-term and it's been incredible.

If you're reading this and you're a fellow ADHDer who *wants* to have a long game, this is your sign. You can do it.

Me: describes a common punishment I recieved as a kid. Since I was a very picky eater I would often be told to “just try something” but later be told to finish my plate to the point where I was not allowed to leave the dinner table unless I finished eating and if I still refused it would be saved in the fridge for the next meal until I ate it

My therapist: ..... and you do realize thats not normal right?

Me: huh honestly I never thought about it

So.... Apparently I will never be enough for my parents and I should stop trying to please them to get a bit of love

So now I'll just become moss and nap cause dang, hearing someone say this irl to me made me like..... Drop to the ground and evaporate

Well, I tried talking to a therapist for the first time today. (I'm looking for therapy for depression and social anxiety.) I was so nervous that I started tearing up as I walked in and it didn't go very well.

But, I'm proud of myself for trying! Just because we weren't a good fit doesn't mean all therapists will be like that.

damn it's almost as if spending the first 20 years of your life trying to not be a burden means you spend the next 20 years dealing with all the shit you repressed

So counselors. counselors are things that make you realize that you cant ignore the voice in your head telling you youre a shit person. no matter how many times you thing you can get rid of it, its not going anywhere. 

i wish i had my voice back so that i could scream in frustration. i love the flu and stress dreams. oh well.
