If you’re LGBT and you have OCD, it is common (and according to my therapist, almost expected) to have periods when you feel you’re faking your sexual orientation and/or gender identity, and to think you have somehow convinced yourself you’re not cis and/or not straight when you actually are. That’s just a symptom of OCD. Your sexuality is not fake, your gender is not fake. You are what you are. You’re ok. You’re enough.

[marimacha-tonto]

There’s an entire sub-type of OCD that explicitly deals with constantly questioning your sexuality. Obviously, this can also overlap with ASD/ADHD. If you spend hours compiling evidence and life experience to “prove” you’re not faking it years after you came out, know that it’s most likely a compulsion and should be treated accordingly.

I feel obligated to reblog this every time it shows up in my dash

[hermes-is-my-homeboy]

No bragging, just 100% floored and grateful. Work hard, maintain a positive attitude, and believe that anything can happen.

[mchashimi]

So I reblogged this exactly a week ago because I thought it was funny and uh lo and behold, a family friend wrote me a big ol’ check just to help me out of a tough financial spot AND my bank refunded me $32 for fees they’d originally taken out. SO UH YEAH. Reblogging this again in hopes that it brings equally good fortune to my followers.

Sure why not? Jobs bring in money and prosperity…

Little brown mushrooms are unidentifiable, worthless crap. If you’re going to hand me small mushrooms, make sure they’re some color other than brown.

(I have opinions about things)

Once oven is preheated, place this dish with the jars and water in it, into the oven. Turn OFF the oven. Leave for 3 hours.

Place arnica infused oil in top of double boiler, add ½ ounce beeswax (this will make a slave consistency.

Method:

Place slippery elm into a bowl and add a few tablespoons of the honey. Stir to combine and add more honey until the consistency resembles playdoh. (During this time, the plantain/oil mixture on the stove top should be ready to turn off. Remove from heat and allow to cool). Use approximately 1/8 inch of the ‘playdoh’ mixture to roll a small ball to create a lozenge. Roll this ball in ground licorice root and place lozenge on parchment paper. Repeat until all of the mixture is used. Let air dry to harden.

8. Air Purifying Spray

What you need:

Sweet Orange essential oil, 12 drops Lemon Essential oil, 12 drops Clove bud essential oil, 10 drops ½ ounce vodka ½ ounce distilled water spray bottle that will hold 1 ounce
