ocd is not fucking destigmatized

"intrusive thought" gets thrown around by assholes talking about putting strainers on their heads or stepping on a leaf who in the next sentence will say "if your thoughts are about actually hurting people they should put you in a psych ward". compulsions and rituals get seen as proof you're "crazy". ocd insight CAN be delusional, even. pocd and sexual ocd is especially demonized, though even something as "harmless" (to others. not *us*) as contamination OCD is still mocked, belittled, and seen as a sign something is fundamentally wrong with you. I have seen people twice my age advocate for violence against anyone who thinks the way I've been forced by my mental illness to think since i was 6, maybe 7 years old.

OCD is not destigmatized.

"cost of living crisis" give me a FUCKING break it's called "unprecedented corporate greed and income inequality" fucking cost of living crisis like it's just a natural or unexplainable phenomenon Christ

i think it's fucked up that we've made death, an inevitable thing that happens to everyone, into such a taboo subject that enjoying spending time in places where dead people exist is offensive and sinister to you

That's what a cemetery is FOR.

At first I thought anon might be confused and think you’re like, walking OVER graves, which has a superstition against it and is considered bad luck and also in bad taste—but no I had to go back and reread their ask to confirm they definitely just say “walking around.”

Like, sorry for occupying the public land in the respectful manner for which it’s intended lol. Girl, the souls are lonely they enjoy the visit. Why don’t you go walk around the grounds of a local cemetery and feel the stillness of life and death communing together peacefully and maybe you’ll calm down.

Also I know this isn't hugely relevant but it is in fact psychologically healthy to hang out in graveyards. Performing tasks that "touch death" (mindfully and deliberately hanging out in graveyards or mausoleums, spiritual practices that involve pondering death in a down-to-earth and mature way, writing wills or memorials for loved ones, attending to corpses, etc.) are necessary psychological tasks. Why do you think so many religions, including those without a concept of an afterlife, have some kind of regular death or funerary practice in them? A graveyard is a public place and you're supposed to go there and spend time with the dead in it for your health.

I mourn the modern cost-saving, money-skimming graveyards where the average person gets a tiny plot and a flat metal plate as a plaque because the businesses involved have figured out that they can get away with draining every dollar without needing to pay any stonecarvers. Bring back the angel statues. Death is supposed to be present and visible and beautiful. It's good for us.

??? Sad mommy?

Take your mother to an escape room you heartless monster!

"You gonna FALL!"

every morning i wake up girltired and girlsleepy and i girlvow to go to bed early that night and every night i girlbetray myself

My longhouse is perfectly constructed. Every morning when I wake up in bed at the far end of my longhouse, I say my syllable. Then I spend all day sitting in bed. By sunset my syllable has traveled to the other end of my longhouse and back, and as it smacks me in the head, I fall asleep. My longhouse is perfectly constructed.

U can grieve and still live life. U can miss loving someone and love others. You can hold onto the good moments and simultaneously the bad moments. You can take the learning from a person you let go off and use it for the better. You can love someone and they may not be the right person. You can wish someone the best and love them from a distance. You can think fondly of someone and never talk to them again.. mysteries of the world…

Everyone look at my turtle lamp and weep for how precious he is

@thebibliosphere

summer of indulgences. takeout for dinner two nights in a row. glass after glass of cold peach juice. scratching mosquito bites for the sensuous pleasure of it. climbing past the point of my fingers giving out. taking the long way home. gently pressing the bruises on my heart just to feel the twinge

one thing about archie andrews is he is going to start a union. mayor trying to kick someone off the basketball team because of racism? union. ancient wizard man trying to tear down the most important building in town but not compensating his crew properly? union. serial killer running rampant in the town? union but they are shirtless and wear little red masks.

God-tier question

It’s amazing how on the internet I’m like hey here’s a thing that helped me. Maybe it will help you.

And then someone is always like if I do that thing though it will kill me.

Probably don’t do it then. Idk what you want from me, man.

If I’m like adding tomato to your sandwich is yummy and you’re like “but I’m deathly allergic to tomatoes what am I supposed to do”

Idk dude. Not eat tomatoes I guess.

I’ve got this old post where I was like hey sometimes it’s fun to try to get a chore done while you’re waiting for water to boil or something. Might help if you have adhd. It’s free deadline.

And I still get people commenting on that post like uhm no some of us have anxiety so bad that we’d pass out if we did that.

Like. Probably don’t do that then?

The two times i loved you the most in a car thursday

you understand.

i think one of the most important things you learn about making connections with others is that a significant portion of the time people just do not know theyre doing what theyre doing

sometimes someone is acting selfish because they just didnt think you had any interest in what theyre hogging. sometimes you dont get invited to the movies because your friend could have sworn that you said no. sometimes you think someone is mad at you because theyre bad at hiding how little sleep they got. we are all like little worlds that briefly crash into one another from time to time and we just arent physically capable of seeing the whole picture at once in those moments. and learning that really changed everything!

once again, it is monday……. a human rights violation

i deeply regret making this post
