Therapists are just…. Common sense filters

Me: yeah so I just don’t have the energy to get up and make myself a sandwich or wait for something to cook so I just. Don’t

Her: why don’t you just eat the sandwich components without putting them together

Me:

Her: you can just eat a handful of cheese and some sandwich meat. You don’t have to make a sandwich.

Me:

Me: what

Therapists finding loopholes for mental illness things is one of my favorite things about dealing with mental illness because it really helps me understand that just because a reaction is Common doesn’t mean it’s Right. Does doing dishes stress you out a lot? Buy paper plates. Do your obsessive thoughts make you worry about leaving your curling iron on so you drive home from work to check? Just put the curling iron in your purse and bring it to work with you while we work on tackling where this worry comes from. Symptom management doesn’t have to look like drudgery.

i used to go days without showering because seeing my body was so upsetting that i would end up spiraling and then i realized i could simply turn the lights out. it took some getting used to but i’ve been showering with the lights off for years and it’s now one of my favorite parts of my day.

do whatever you want nothing is real and there’s no need to inflict unnecessary suffering on yourself just to try to seem “normal”

[biyaself]

I love this post

Hmmm

[petrichorepoch]

These kinds of loopholes make life so. Much. Better.

One of my favorite stories is this lady had extremely bad OCD. Every day she’d be late to work because she was convinced that her hair dryer was going to burn down the house so would always have to turn around and check it. Multiple times a day even. A bunch of doctors tied to “fix” her of that fear, until one day she got a doctor that suggested she bring the hair dryer with her. Other doctors were annoyed, saying that wasn’t a the correct way to help, but she gave it a go. When she had that fear, she’d look over and see the hair dryer unplugged in the seat next to her and was able to carry on. I think it’s such a perfect example of actually helping someone instead of forcing them into a neurotypical standard.

That story helped me stop repeatedly checking if my front door was locked. Instead of checking that the door was locked over and over I would check my security system app. If it’s on it will alert me if the front door opens.

[daughter-of-rowan]

“…actually helping someone instead of forcing them into a neurotypical standard” should be added to the Hippocratic Oath.

Maybe I’m weird but I do not understand dudes who propose and get turned down like….how did you not know she would say no? Like…are people asking out of the clear blue sky? Again, maybe this is abnormal, but my boyfriend and I have had many, many conversations about marriage. Deep conversations and also sleepy pillow talk where one of us whispers “Let’s get married.” and the other one is like “Heck yeah.” We’ve discussed who will take who’s name and the idea of public proposals and the style of rings we like. Maybe you’re not SUPPOSED to talk about all that but…it just seems like it shouldn’t be a total surprise. Like I want to be surprised about exactly when and where but, that’s the only thing I want to leave up to chance.

Like, I feel like if you had no idea your girl would say no, you aren’t ready for marriage anyways. 

[walk-in-library]

Your partner should know that a proposal is coming. The surprise and the touching part comes from the fact that they don’t know HOW.

“A proposal can be a surprise, an engagement shouldn’t.”

There are a lot of times I feel like just…flipping the vegan script.

It’s not ‘polyester’ it’s plastic

It’s not ‘vegan leather’ it’s plastic

Its not ‘faux fur’ it’s plastic

Plastic is a pollutant and causes far more damage to the environment both now and in the future than leather or wool.

Please stop telling me that the Plastic Lyfe is the only life, it is not. My leather shoes will last a decade where pleather is lucky to last 12 months. Leather (and wool) decompose and are renewable. Plastic is neither of those.

[house-of-crows]

THANK YOUUUUUUU~

[kinka-juice]

A single wash cycle of plastic-based fiber (polyester, poly fleece, faux fur) may release 700,000 pieces of microplastic into our waters. Nasty stuff.

Wool is the most environmentally friendly fabric despite being an animal product.

[noisypitta]

Using wool isnt even harming sheep 

[chris-hansen-the-pedoslayer-blog]

Sheep need to be sheered or else it will cause serious problems. It’s a mutual relationship, we help sheep get rid of the pesky wool and it gives us a very useful material.

Also chickens will lay eggs no matter what!! That’s literally what chickens do!!! You are not eating “chick embryos”!!! If you’re worried about supporting the corporate mass farming industry, buy from a local free-range chicken owner! Almost anywhere has farmer’s markets!

This is the part where we talk about how the demand for agave nectar as an alternative to honey is destroying the habitat of the endangered long-nosed bat, which lives on agave.

[thehistoricalgods]

Bees literally make an excess of honey, too much for them to handle. Beekeepers are helping them by taking honey. BEE MOVIE WAS LITERALLY ABOUT THIS HOLY SHIT

Just a friendly warning; YouTube is doing screamer ads again. It’s for the new Annabelle movie and it starts with “staring contest in 3,2,1” followed by a jumpscare and a loud scream. I saw it today (June 20th) so keep an eye out for it.

[alounuitte]

saw a post pointing out that cis women can get a boob job at 18 without therapist notes and just considering how it’s FUCKED that that’s true for like implants but a breast reduction requires like 16 doctors notes about how your boobs are crushing your lungs tearing your laterals breaking your spine and stealing all the blood from your organs before anyone would consider the tragedy of taking them away

[coinkydirks-deactivated20190724]

In the uk you have to get the exact same weight removed from each breast or the NHS won’t pay for it

It’s 2019. If you cast a white actress as Esmeralda, you’ve completely misunderstood the point of Hunchback and shouldn’t be directing the show.

Unpopular opinion: Filler episodes are good because most of them provide a nice break from heavy plot lines and it’s fun to see what the characters are like in different situations and sometimes they’re just plain entertaining

satire is “I’m going to take this concept to an extreme or absurd level in order to demonstrate how bizarre/nonsensical/illogical it is” and not “I said something bigoted but just kidding I didn’t really mean it hahaha”

[bogleech]

Dang it I’ve written like 5000 words trying to explain this and I only needed this post to reblog

Arrow: the Original. Everyone shits on it but wouldn’t have it never aired because Sara Lance, our saviour, came from there. Nowadays we have One black gay guy. Cool, I’ll clap yo back for doing the bare minimum! But forrealsies, they gave us the first dctv wlw kiss (I think, sorry I am not a white heterostraight comic book fanboy who would beat you if you got one (1) info wrong about his show). Oh yeah, Oliver’s son is gay, in a future timeline(???) that also made evil and killed the best character of the show (MY OPINION AGAIN, dammit now I need to barricade my house against the stans).

The Flash: Do they know what a lgbt is, tbh? Idk but such a large group like that and all of them are (canon) hets??? *whiny stan chatter from the back* YES SUSAN I KNOW THAT ONE (1) COP AND HIS HUSBAND WERE GAY BUT LIKE… DOES AT LEAST 10% OF THE FANDOM REMEMBERS HIS NAME?? I MEANT MAINS!!!! Yes, thanks Flash for Leonard Snart, who, in ANOTHER EARTH, was gay, which I would thank LEGENDS for. Sure, Nora could be gay but it would take maybe 2 seasons and all my patience until they reveal it. 

Black lightning: One of the mains is a black bulletproof gay superhero, every 2016 wlw’s dream (we suffered enough). Girlfriend is a ghost, appears once in a blue moon bisexual asian woman with powers (I think she will be a superhero too, sorry I don’t know, I didn’t read any of the comic books). You can probably get it from my speech but I love this show. I can’t judge it too much on how little screentime it’s giving to the gays bc it’s still structuring a plot and all, but I will judge heavily if it continues to do so. *singing quietly* Last night I saw a superhero, he was black

He said, “This is for the street, Black Lightning’s back” * yep, love this show.

Supergirl: Ayy mama, a’aight, this is gonna be painful. DON’T LOOK AT ME I MISS MAGGIE SAWYER. Series two would’ve been the biggest gift to womankind if half of the writing hadn’t been absolute trash (read: space mayonnaise and his ‘relationship’ with Kara, who absolutely deserved better). Tbh, Alex’s coming out was my favourite (the best of tv and movies, IN MY OPINION, STANS) and I came out to my parents bc of her (terrible idea in hindsight but I’m still thankful). Her love and relationship with Maggie made me feel strong and safe in times when I was Not and they (the writers) DESTROYED IT. Won’t go into it too much bc it still hurts. Besides that, Nia Nal? Angel. Absolute Angel. Trans superhero rep. Brainy? 100 times the man ManUel never was while being half machine. Perfect exchange. Good job with that. Brainy/Nia? Pure. Now can we give Alex something to make her happy? I don’t just mean a girlfriend (that would make not only her but ME very happy) but I also accept a bagel, Idk mates I think alex has suffered enough. Won’t go into supercorp. They’re cute, a part of the fandom makes great and funny post and all but they are not canon. Yes, we all wish.

every single negative stereotype about women was dreamt up by men who were projecting. fight me about it.

[bimbocracy]

“women can’t drive”

It is so well known that women are better and safer drivers than men that OUR CAR INSURANCE RATES ARE LOWER. Women get into fewer accidents, get fewer DUIs, and receive fewer speeding tickets than men.

“women never shut up”

Several scientific studies have shown that not only do men talk more than women, they also think that women have been talking for much longer than they actually have. Men interrupt and talk over women, dominate conversations, and still think women talk too much.

“women are shallow”

Lol next

“my wife is my ball and chain lmao”

Multiple studies have shown that marriage between men and women: Increases male lifespan, decreases female lifespan Decreases male depression rates, increases female depression rates Decreases male stress levels, increases female stress levels Increases male health and happiness, decreases female health and happiness Increases a man’s chance of getting a raise or promotion, decreases a woman’s chances of getting a raise or promotion

“women are too emotional”

Men love to say this about women after hurting them, in order to shift the blame and dismiss their feelings in one go. In reality, women are taught to hold our tongues and control ourselves quite literally from birth. We’re taught to put men’s needs and wants ahead of our own emotions regardless of the personal cost. Men are taught to do more or less whatever the fuck they want to women. Men take their emotions out on women while women are expected to shove theirs down.

I could go on and on but I don’t really think I need to.

[doktorgirlfriend]

“Why does Tumblr romanticize Hades so much?”

Idk Clarice, maybe we’re just tired, and life is uncertain, and we like the idea of a stable husband with a steady job and a big dog and his own place away from all the loud, shapeshifting-kink party gods.
