Breathe but piano.
You're in a car and it feels like the driver is driving unsafely
Stare at the road and panic
Close your eyes and just pray (and panic)
Stare at your phone to distract from the panic
When you’re mid sentence and suddenly forget literally everything you were talking about

Might be crazy what Im about to say /lyr
I've discovered that I can get myself to maintain focus when I'm totally stuck in my writing if I have something mindless to do with my hands the whole time - so I've started sewing little guys during my writing sessions. Now I'm producing way more words than before AND little stuffed bats at the same time. What am I going to do with a pile of stuffed bats? Don't worry about it.
The only problem with this is that it makes me too focused. It took me hours to return to full consciousness after putting together a particularly hard chapter last night.
I feel like I should mention for everyone who wants the bats that at present time the bats are not good. I may know how to write novels but I do not know how to sew.
Not on my A-game today and decided to try to do some work without sewing at the same time and you know what? I'm getting distracted by Tumblr every five minutes. The system works. I'm gonna go cut some cloth.

I often talk about reality checking and going along with it when helping someone deal with delusions, but I felt as if I didn’t really make it clear to what I meant when I said it.
Recently I saw a post similar to “how to sneakily give your delusional friend a reality check when they told you not to” and honestly, that’ll just make us lose trust for you. Because we can tell when you do that.

you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.
I've been noticing myself doing this recently, so I figured I'd put it out there in case someone else needs the reminder too:
You don't need to diminish yourself in order to make others feel good about themselves.
You can compliment someone else without insulting yourself. In fact, demeaning yourself will probably make it more difficult for the other person to accept the compliment.
You also don't need to disparage your own abilities in order to give someone else confidence. You can be a capable person and support other capable people.
Don't tear yourself down to build someone else up.
Just going to put some examples here, in case anyone needs them:
Compliment: You write such great angst! I was in tears after that last chapter. Compliment + self-insult: I could never write angst like you. Mine never has that gut-punch that yours does.
Compliment: You look gorgeous! That's such a pretty colour on you. Compliment + self-insult: I wish I had your fashion sense. I just wear whatever smells clean.
Compliment: This piece is awe-inspiringly good! How long did it take you?? Compliment + self-insult: Your art is so much better than mine. I could practice for a million years and never get close to this.
The thing about insulting yourself while complimenting someone else is that you might think that you're making your compliment sound that much better because you're increasing the distance between their level and yours. But what you're actually doing is refocusing your compliment away from them and onto you and your insecurities.
Maybe they'll notice and maybe they won't, but you will. Eventually, all of the insults you've given yourself will make you feel bad about that other person's skills and now, instead of a mentor or a colleague you have someone you're jealous of. Or at least, that's how it tends to go for me.
Keep the compliment focused on that person and their skills or presentation or process etc. And if you want to learn from them, ask them for advice. It can be hard to notice when you're falling into this kind of habit - I thought I'd gotten past it but here I am again - so just do the best you can ❤️
