im here to hide from trauma

[Mx Maermaid @MMaermaid]

I’ve never been diagnosed with ADHD but sometimes I wonder. And the descriptions of RSD always get me 🥴 But I have literally never thought of… just saying no to the negative self-talk? Like, hard stop, you can do that?? This is a revolutionary idea, thank you for sharing 🥲

It takes a LOT of work and effort, but here are some of the ways ive managed to combat this, which has worked for both RSD and BPD. This is alongside DBT and medication.

- utterly refusing to use negative self talk. Not just when you’re experiencing RSD, but at any time ever. One of the biggest forms of RSD is extreme shame and self hatred. When negative self talk starts, i will physically out loud or mentally say “nope, we arent doing that anymore!” and replacing it with gentle self love. I do this by imagining that instead of talking to me right now, i’m talking to me as the very small young little kid who is scared after messing up. It’s okay sweetheart, it was an accident. Let’s clean it up together, i love you 💕

- taking deliberate time to calm my emotions when they start building. Saying “i need to remove myself from this situation”, going to a place i can be alone for a moment, and taking deep breaths and focusing on slowing down my heart rate.

- reminding myself that it is mental illness. The things i feel, the extreme anger and shame and humiliation and self hatred, im not feeling those because i deserve it or because thats whats supposed to happen. Im feeling that because the chemicals and wires in my brain are misfiring. It is something that can be managed and calmed. It is not my permanent state, and it is something that i can overcome.

Its taken me years to get to a point where i feel i can manage these emotions in a healthy way, and i still occasionally struggle to do so. But it IS possible and it IS manageable 💕

I wish I didn’t have to spend so much time feeling depressed and not knowing what side effects are from the depression and what’s from the medication and if I’d feel better or worse without them and what might actually help me not be depressed

whHYYYY did I read this while watching Something Very Bad is Going to Happen 🫥

[keegan @FranziaMom]

I called Ikea to find out why I haven’t gotten a refund yet and the woman at the customer service call center said, “I can’t tell you what it is, but something very bad has happened.”

This is true for yogurt cups too. When I was a kid I swear they were 8 oz. Then they went down to 6 oz, now they’re 5.3 oz 😐

[Papa Woof und Krampus und Bleaken @woofknight]

I don't know if you noticed the difference in cake mixes. They used to be 15.25 oz now 13.25 oz. This was posted in a baking group I'm in....
"We’ve talked about the change in the weight of the cake mixes. A friend of mine contacted Betty Crocker about it because a cookie we make with the cake box mix has been flopping lately. Betty Crocker representative called her back and said add 1/4 cup of flour to get it back to original weight. I have not tried it yet but thought I’d share with you all."

Also, and this is from founders mutation so I will only add one comment, but Scully calling someone being gay “a lifestyle preference” is completely inexcusable, out of character, and a disgrace to every single person who worked on this episode, the end

[Mx Maermaid @MMaermaid]

Sadly, rewatching My Struggle never answers any of the dozens of questions I have, it only brings up more every single fcking time

[Mx Maermaid @MMaermaid]

Scully I must ask a second time WHY ARE YOU FINISHING SURGERY WITH BLOOD SPLATTERED ALL OVER YOUR BARE NECK, this can’t POSSIBLY be a medically accurate representation 😵‍💫
