It's baffling to me that some of y'all see stuff in your mind. You SEE it? The way your eyes see? I always thought "visualize" meant thinking of the words/ideas/feelings associated with a thing, not actual visuals.
I am such a total 5 on this scale I didn't know 1-4 existed.
Someone told me I HAD to do the thing I was already planning to do, so now I can’t do the thing.
I can’t really explain why I can’t do the thing, I just… can’t do the thing.
@beatemups I'll be on some form ssri or ssnri for the rest of my life, I'll also be on heart medication for the rest of my life due to a birth condition, both of these things are equally okay ❤️ ppl deserve to be happy and healthy
I just hear “YOU ATE IT! THATS SO GROSS YOU LICK ME! And what about your sister? She wanted to play with it! It’s gone! All of it! Echo is my cat ok if it eats a moth?”
All the while I am losing my shit and my dog is barking at her reflection in my vanity mirror.

What I’m NOT going to do is let CVS call my friend who was denied her Rx bc she couldn’t prove it wasn’t for an abortion (at age 55). What I AM going to do is put them in touch with her very incensed gynecologist whose order they disobeyed when putting politics over patients.
I often take care of people after suicide attempts. When they explain why they tried to die, a large proportion say they could no longer see “the point” in life. “There’s no meaning for me, no reason to live.” Most clinicians push against this idea to dissuade people from it. 1/
OK, usually I'm not snarky about educational media but, FYI, Crash Course doesn't want to profit from second hand sales of our videos...nor even first-hand sales! Thank you to Coin-owners and Patreon Patrons for making that possible.
Let's keep trying to make things better.
