Friendly reminder that the block button exists, that it should be used liberally, and that you owe no one a reason for blocking them other than protecting your peace.

No one is entitled to the right to make you feel bad in your space.

And, FYI, calling someone a slur in relation to their mental health struggles or one upping them because “so-and-so’s experience was worse” is not and never has been okay.

How naive of me to think that just because we kicked a gossip blog out of here that the hate would stop.

Hi ya'll, hope you are having I good day! Today I noticed that I've been kind of stressed and felt not so great, so I had too remind myself that everything's ok. It helped a lot, so this is your reminder that you are amazing and everything's going to be all right.

Tips for Stress, Doing Work, and When You're Not Feeling Good:

Stay Calm

Listening to Music (I blast Taylor Swift and sing along, it nearly always helps me forget about the stress. Or I play music while studying.)

Make a Gratitude List

Read a Book and Escape into a Magical World

Exercise for Physical and Mental Heath (whatever your favorite way is, it should be fun. I mostly do swimming.)

Set Goals and Track Progress (manageable ones, so they don't cause more stress)

Reminder: Mental Health is Just as Important as Physical

Bye, hope this helps someone!

You all slay!

So, I noticed something interesting:

I was asking people to come up with a name for "a program that specialises in therapy for criminals/villains/ anyone with legal problems. I have TBL (Therapy Beyond Law) but it feels lame".

And an interesting thing I found was that even though I didn't say anything about the program... Un village them.

Some of the offers included:

"Revive - Rehabilitating Every Villian Into Viable Employees"

LAW (Legal Aid for Wretches)/( Legal Aid for Workers)

Villain Anonymous

league of Super Enemy’s rehabilitated (LOSER)?

(I also got some interesting ideas! But that was a common thought)

Which is... weird. It could be on me, since I made it sound like it's a "villains' fix-it" , but my thoughts were based on some things:

Therapists have ethical codes, and in many places laws about having to report to the authorities. (Like if someone tell them they're gonna kill someone and have a plan, cases of child abuse, etc.)

What do criminals that require mental support do?

The mental equivalent of a "back alley doctor".

Like, this made up program is supposed to be where ppl who can't/doesn't want to go to therapy at someone with ethical/legal code can find help via this.

It's all distant-locarion based, like phone and Skype and Zoom, only their own kind. For security reasons. And it's firewalls all the ways down with the best hackers on the job and maybe some magic users and a cyborg?

Anyway -

It can doesn't have to be about crimes.

Honestly, most people come to talk about "normal" things, like depression and stress and relationships and all.

There are those who come because they don't want to be known by the government, bc of paranoia or witness protection or family or social issues.

There are metas, or magic users, or aliens - coming looking for a place to openly talk without the fear of being exposed or reported.

So you have a big ass, 7 feet green person talking about their body image issues and being rejected by society and everyone look at you with disgust and hating you because of your skin colour.

And you have an alien talking about cultural conflicts and physical differences and feeling isolated and alone. Or being turned between the people who raised you (that you love) but you want to know more about your birth family and don't want to upset them.

And a witch coming to tslk about how to come out to her mother - there's a lot of love there, but also a traditional family. And she laughs and telling you she doesn't know what would be harder for her mom - finding out her kid's a witch or finding out she's bi.

And of course, there are criminals. But most of them come for things like "How to improve my relationship with my kids" or getting help for depression or anxiety.

(sometimes they talk about crimes. But it's usually like "I have panic attacks since my car blew up. Why? Oh, bc I killed that monster's brother. Anyway, how can I go back to driving?" )

And there are, very few, like trafficers coming for things like "how to make the cargo last longer" and "sometimes they cry and it piss me off".

(which is... not something a usual supervisor can help you deal with.)

And sometimes they come bc more than one reason - bc a 7feet green person CAN'T find a "legal" job, so they also talk about hurting ppl.

And that alien might have a blue-and-orange morral, and is horrified by the whole concept of "burial", but also can't understand WHY he can't shape shift and look like someone else (exist) and the concept of identity theft.

Anyway. I'd love to hear your ideas/fics. Just please let me know if you write anything with this concept. Thank you 😊

Ok this scene is great on a lot of levels. HOWEVER the symbology of Nate bearing his soul in this moment is equally great. He's telling his truth, to his friend. When we speak our naked truths it makes us feel exposed and laid bare. In Limbo is a fantastic show.

Apaguei seu contato, mas ainda tenho a conversa salva. De vez em quando eu espio nossas conversas antigas e fico pasmo com o quanto éramos ligados. Se alguém me dissesse que no futuro nós sequer falaríamos um com o outro eu teria achado graça e desacreditado.

Hey, all. Sorry for not posting the last few days. Some shit went down over her irl, and I haven't had the spoons to deal with much else. Let's just say someone dear to me did something really dumb and has been involuntarily committed. The usual 72 hours is up, but they made them sign a voluntary treatment form under the threat of getting a court order that would last a whole lot longer if they didn't. I'm glad they're getting the help they need, but the whole thing is just a big mess and I hate seeing them so upset with themselves. Seriously guys, if you're struggling, get help before things like this happen. They're in there for the EXACT kind of thoughts I specifically hauled myself to therapy for. Hell, if they had just talked to someone in the family about it, we could have helped at least somewhat. Hopefully, things will settle down soon and I can give you some normal posts. I only just got it together enough to post this for now.

Here are some resources in case you're struggling (they should have more than just the American stuff here) :

I swore I wouldn’t let anons get to me, but today is really feeling like one where I need to hit something.

Or just eviscerate a made up filler character for a WIP.

I’ll happily take a distraction anytime now

I've noticed an alarming amount of people lately referring to their exes as being narcissists, and I think it's a dangerous precedent to self-diagnose your ex as being mentally ill only because the two of you ended up disliking each other in the end.

Just because the two of you had no compatibility doesn't mean your ex is lacking in some regard -- you simply weren't a good match for each other. There doesn't need to be any other reasoning than that. It's like people are expected to apologize and make excuses for why this relationship or that relationship didn't work out, and you don't owe anyone an explanation, but you also don't need to slander both your ex and the mentally ill community as a whole as being comprised of things you just don't like.

BUT if you are gonna spill your guts to people who didn't ask to begin with, then you should go a little further and specify whether or not this person you're bashing to strangers on the Internet was actually legitimately diagnosed with a mental illness, or if we can just assume you're a bitch who labels things with words you don't know the meanings of.

Just saw tumblr’s little banner that it’s mental health month and

you know what I would really fucking love for mental health month? 

for my pharmacy not to be out of my mental health meds with no guarantees that they will receive any more of it on a reasonable schedule.

for me to be able to ask over the phone which pharmacies do have meds in stock and not have the pharmacy tech blow me off.

for me to be able to move my prescription for my mental health meds to a pharmacy that does have it in stock without having to call my psychiatrist and beg him to write me a new prescription. apparently, because my meds are a controlled substance, they’re not allowed to transfer the script.

and most of all i would love to be able to do all of this without being accused of drug seeking behavior. 

i have been in withdrawal for over a week. i cannot focus or stay awake for a normal amount of time. but i still have to go to my job (which is suffering as a result of all of this by the way, but if i say anything it’ll just be viewed as an excuse because this is not the first time my whole life has been fucked up by meds/supply chain issues causing issues for me hitting deadlines) and pay my utilities and pretend to be a normal person.

also, yes, i’ve called my doc about this, but psychiatrists don’t work weekends. and the pharmacy’s response has basically been “sucks to suck, I guess.”

so. happy mental health month. whee.
