#mental breakdowns

From a PTSD perspective, thinking about fight/flight/freeze/fawn: I really think Hunter's military training is helping him survive, especially in his current state. He doesn't outright freeze like a deer in the headlights because of several years' worth of muscle memory and many fighting stances and moves he has practised.
Even back here, he didn't stay on the floor for too long:
Tumblr media
He could get up and run to safety pretty quickly because he doesn't even trust that The Owl House is a safe place yet. He had only opened up to Luz (grabbing her hand in Belos's mind) not long before his breakdown.
I wondered whether he'd try to flee here:
Tumblr media
However, he's in a worse place now, flinching more easily than pre-breakdown, outright knowing the truth about his whole life and having panic attacks, so he decided to risk staying to learn the deep breathing exercise from Gus, even though he still withheld almost all info about his trauma.
But.......here's the catch: he does not feel fully safe enough yet to truly fall apart. Trauma be like that, at least from my own repeated experiences. When things got 'better', they then worsened because there's no more adrenaline coursing through your veins, the body knows it's safe now and then bam! Fall apart more when you think you can't go lower. For years I would freeze and just oversleep as my main coping mechanism but as I got better, I turned to strategies that I personally felt were better (it differs for each individual) - going for a walk or run, or driving/taking the train to places that would inspire me - that minimised my own guilt and other trauma emotions.
Hopefully the writing will continue to impress regarding mental health issues.

I purposely put myself in situations that inspire and stoke less than healthy patterns or put myself closer to said situations and then wonder why im feeling all insane. I think I want to convince myself that it's 'all temporary' and that whatever happened before in my head won't happen again. But it will. If only I could go off the deep end in one fell swoop in every way ever. Even that horrible thing you're thinking about, whatever it is. Yes, even that one. Just do everything terrible ever and then end it with suicide which is also Terrible Thing bc God forbid someone has autonomy over a life he not only didn't ask for but was given little reason to stay in. Ruin everyone's opinion of me. Inspire only fear and vitriol. Hatred and hurt and pain pain PAIN. Sure! I am a bad person! What are you going to do about it! By the time you figure out enough to send a mob after me, I'll already be long dead. You'll have to wash the smell of rot out of your fucking walls. Bitch.
Wish I could just. Grow from morbid into truly heinously unforgivable like that corpse flower. Despite what anyone believes, it would be growth. Just in a different, undesirable form. But wouldn't it be rad just to go apeshit? For a final trigger to send me bouncing round the walls intent on seeing blood? Everyone would hate me. That would be ok. I don't mind. People can feel how they feel. I know I unnerve people. It's like they can see the thoughts behind my eyes. Tick-tock, tick-tock; counting down into the next impassioned tirade. Is it about music or hurt? Or both? Breaking or building. Corruption or innocence. Life, death, rainbows and bloodbaths. Madness pulling at the corners. "Why are you staring?" I don't know. Your left forearm has taken a starring role in my next idea. It's not personal. Or maybe I like your smile. Or maybe I actually do just wonder how you look when you bleed. You'll never really know. Might be all of the above.
Sometimes the demon overtakes. I wouldn't say I have a split personality disorder, I don't really fit the criteria. I gave him a name though. Anyway he does that. And then suddenly I am not in a harmonic split of choice and rationale. A correct and healthy balance of right and wrong, good and bad. Suddenly I am tilted, the entire world is tilted, I feel dizzy and I don't know if it's somewhat physical or all mental. Everything shifts. Things mean something different. I'm more alien and darker. And that little voice (not an actual voice, no hallucination) is urging urging urging like it's the end of times, and we only have 24 hours left on Earth and nothing to lose. That whim? Do it. The other one too. You know you want to. What? Too pussy? Coward. Come on. You know me. I'm you. What's stopping you?
And then rationale and logic and all that are on the Defensive. No. Don't do it. Fight it. [More of the demons temptations.] Okay. Maybe do it a little but only in a really roundabout way that doesn't hurt anyone. Okay. Let's maybe go for a smoke. Let's close our eyes and fantasize. Think think think. Fight it. [More More More.] Hey maybe we should talk to someone? [Who is there to talk to? You're a freak. You say any of this shit to anyone they'll try to put a stop to it by treating you worse than farm animals. Worse than garbage. They deserve to die. They think you deserve to die. Doesn't that make you angry?] Okay so that's not an option. Um. Just hit something solid really hard until you're too tired to fixate. I don't know. [Aw. Is it not working? Little tired of rationality, aren't we? Relax. Let go. Don't think. Just do. Shoot first, questions later. Imagine how easy and simple things would be. They already are. Let me take care of you.] Tired tired tired. War.. Bed. Now. Don't look at anyone. Don't touch anything. Don't speak. Don't THINK. Shh quiet quiet quiet. [You can't silence me, idiot. I am you. What's the point of this? Who are you appeasing? There is a hell but there is no God. This isn't a war. There are no sides.] [Indulge.] Indulge. [Give.] Give. [Take.] Take.
#personal vent#delete later#multiple personalities#to be clear i am not claiming to have did or anything like that. you guys can have your system stuff and whatnot thats not me#mental breakdowns#its every day bro B)#its usually not as bad as is written here but thats just an example of a moderate day of it#without getting into specifics#just moderate#but the demon does get specific. he likes to tease and insult but it doesnt make me feel sad. worse. invigorated#actually schizospec#psycho in a way thats only hot to psycho chasers because im being super fucking vague about the possible subject matter#moment i get specific im getting more threats than your average US elementary school#edgy joke#does anyone else have something like this?#in a psychosexual downright toxic psychotic relationship with my demon which is just me but with a weird shift#like putting ur car in reverse. idk bruh. idk how to explain it#him talking to me is one thing. i can still take back control if i snap out of the trance. but when he overtakes literally the whole world#looks different. like actually literally different. like fucking. imagine if everything that was green was suddenly just 1 hex point darker#slightly darker green. madness inducing.#i. dont know what i want. i just want to feel in full harmony. i want to indulge the demon. i dont want to. i do. i dont. i#i think i just need to get in a good slapfight or tussle once in awhile and clear my head good#tell my friends 'hit me' when i feel the world sliding off to the side a bit and hope the momentary shock will fix it#idk does that work?

Your taste in music is impeccable
(I don't like any of it but I like you so I would agree with anything as long as you spoke it-)
I agree with you
(Your thoughts judge me inside my head, I am my own watcher and punisher with your face, isn't it good to be so close-?)
We are basically twins
(I am a younger sister made into an older one, we share far more that most, a language of our own, the exact same thought at the same time, we have always been so intertwined-)
I love you
(I would die for you, I would change for you, is this all in my head, am I even your best friend, I would bear the world on my shoulders if it would make you smile, I would rip my heart out of my chest and give it to you on a golden platter of you were the slightest bit hungry, please love me to-)

tw: sh and breakdowns
today is just a great day. i should be happy, but i just can't. i keep getting told that i can control my emotions and that i should just be happy. i don't work like that and i'm sorry that i don't. i'm sorry i can't meet your expectations because i got triggered when your friend just came into our gc and started saying that she'll sh if you don't stop cutting. i don't think you understand how badly that affects people..and saying people get triggered over 'littlest things' now is just seriously so fucked up. and yea, this shit may have happened yesterday but i'm still having fucking breakdowns over it dude. i'm sorry for the people around you, really.

Time wastes away like dandelion fluff, a day, a week, a month.
Eternity spent lying on my bedroom floor questioning myself and falling in love with things that don't exist
- sometimes existence only feels like an interruption to my dreams(mirofmagma)

started my period today so now my brain is trying to figure out if my 20 breakdowns from Friday to Saturday morning are because of pms or if I genuinely needed to have a breakdown over that.
Having a uterus is fuckin crazy man.

My biggest flaw is that I am the person that I hate the most in this world.
