A psychologist quoted in a newspaper said that he had witnessed scenes when someone guilty of betrayal admitted them mistake and started to weep, but the injured party would look away with an unmoved face, rejecting their plea for forgiveness.
When he was less experienced, he had found it painful to watch and had encouraged the injured party to relent and accept the repentance.
But no longer. Because it didn’t work, unless it happened in the right order. Someone guilty of betrayal shouldn’t be praised for admitting the betrayal until the despair, grief and rage of the injured party had been acknowledged. Without it, the repentance would fall to the earth like a rock. It’s the law of nature, he said, it’s in our bones, we can’t escape that sequence of events.

Jung saw things the way his instinct encouraged him to. If he didn’t, his snake would turn on him. I tried to look at things the way my instinct encouraged me to. If I didn’t, my snake would turn on me. My mum and sisters had acted in ways and said things which my snake disagreed with. I travel along the path my snake prescribes, I thought, because it’s good for me.

I had always dreaded sleep, longed for it, but dreaded it, dreaded falling asleep, falling in general. I had made up a story when I was little, when I lay in bed and couldn’t sleep, didn’t dare fall asleep, but I was Jewish and laid close to other Jews in a railway carriage heading somewhere during the Second World War, that I was close to other people in a railway carriage, surrounded by other living, warm bodies in a shared destiny, not alone but together with others while the train rolled along with its rhythmic, calming chugging, I imagined that I could hear other people breathe around me, near my ear, my neck, and I tried breathing in the same rhythm as them, as the train, I imagined that I lay as close to other living, warm human beings as it was possible to lie, that we were one big body morphing into the train.
You identify with victims, he said.
But, he then said with a wry smile, every victim is a potential aggressor; don’t be too generous with your compassion.

disability advocacy went wrong when it became about inspiration porn and “differently abled” and savants. its incredible that that guy with no legs did a triathlon but your sister with no legs will not and she doesnt need prosthetics or five hour training days to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. its incredible that that autistic guy can look at a city from a helicopter for an hour and then draw the entire detailed skyline from memory when he lands but your autistic friend cannot and they dont need to have a special Autism Power to deserve respect and compassion and accommodations. 
activism framed around “we are just as CAPABLE” means that when people genuinely are less capable they are left behind. activism framed around “we are just as WORTHY” is fundamental to radical compassion.

Shoutout to disabled people who don’t have a clear diagnosis, who might never have a clear diagnosis, mentally ill people who can’t get diagnosed due to finances, anxiety, trauma or family issues and Everyone struggling to get a diagnosis.
You are not alone and your illness is real even if it doesn’t have a name!! This month is about you too!

Let's switch out the "disabled people are just as capable" campaign with "disabled people are just as valuable." We shouldn't have to perform, achieve and produce on the same level as abled people to be considered worthy.

going into the psych ward today but feeling like i don’t deserve the help. i feel like i’ve swindled my way in & feel guilty?
i’ve been feeling lower than i have since 2018 but also have a problem with institutionalisation due to my c-ptsd and feeling the care i never had in the psych ward so i feel hopeful now and i feel like i’m still meant to be feeling like pure sh*t to warrant an admission.
if anyone else has felt this kinda hectic imposter syndrome before feel free to drop me a line~

I want people to stop attacking nonbinary people who describe their genders in abstract, flowery terms. And I want them to stop dismissing them as “just teenagers who don’t know any better”, too.
You know why? Because cis people do the same thing all the time and nobody bats an eye about it.
Manhood and womanhood are associated with symbols, colors, animals, astronomical objects, mythological figures, a whole list of things that have no inherent gendered properties, and that’s fine. (A lot of those symbols are stereotypical, but some binary people still embrace them, while others have come up with alternate symbols that better reflect what being a man or woman means to them.)
If men and women can describe their genders in abstract, symbolic, poetic terms, so can nonbinary people.

do u ever like feel so absurdly reluctant to do things. like it ain’t even procrastination or laziness anymore u just physically and mentally can’t bring yourself to do anything. u really, really just wanna binge watch youtube until your mind numbs completely or lie on the floor and stare into the abyss. and it’s not like u don’t have “motivation” or anything or even that u don’t want to do it, it’s just. u can’t. idk how ppl just. Do Things. get up and go at it. i have to have an entire existential crisis and like, watch a goddamn motivational film or something first before i do the smallest thing. and it’s june for fuck’s sake.
