thought this would be a banger on tumblr

One of those days

I drew the gang,

Sometimes life is about the little things you can look forward to! It doesn’t have to be big or grand, just something that makes you happy.

let go of the things you cannot control. let go of the uncertainty. sit with the discomfort. it’s okay to not have a handle on everything at all times… and the more at peace you become with the uncertainty, the easier your life will be

sorry for being vague about this but i need to get it off my chest and i. cannot get more specific about it. i have super bad ocd about a certain real life event and ive tried so hard to fix it but im worried ill never stop feeling unclean. ive talked to counsellors about it who all think that what happened sounded normal/healthy and my fears are unfounded but i just cant shake the feeling that i'm tainted and that everyone would hate me if they knew.

from what I can tell, it sounds like you’re caught in the reassurance-seeking trap, and that your brain is doing the normal OCD thing of never being satisfied with that

at the moment, I’m really focusing on sorting my thoughts into three categories:

out of my control

in my control now

will be in my control in the future

and then, if something fits into the first or third category… I try my best to let it go. you can’t do anything about your past. you just have to learn to sit with the knowledge that what’s happened has happened and there’s no going back. you can only control what you do now and what you do tomorrow

it’s easier said than done, but refusing to forgive yourself for something that happened a while ago isn’t super helpful! you’re punishing yourself for something that’s been and gone, rather than thinking about what you can do to help yourself and others right now, in this moment.

I know that your thoughts feel out of your control, and it can be hard to battle with them in this way, but the more you focus on the now, the easier it gets to push through the past

I wish you all the best, and I hope your brain calms down soon

scrupulosity and an OCD obsession with morality is so much more than just wanting to be a good person.

yes, I want to be a good person. but for me, that comes along with:

an unreachably high moral standard

an unshakeable guilt complex

a chronic feeling of “what have I done wrong?”

constant flashbacks to “shame memories”

tying myself up in knots over making the right decision (even over the little things)

and sometimes… this obsession with being a good person actually prevents me from being as good a person as I would be otherwise (e.g it can make me come across as selfish and not compassionate)

Here's a tiny hammer to beat the cop in your brain

This is the handwash station.

Your hands are now clean of any reblog bait you didn't engage with, any compulsions you didn't obey, or any other intrusive thoughts or mental spiraling.

please please please when something good happens, let yourself feel good! be proud of yourself, revel in that joy, bask in the happiness. you deserve it! you deserve to feel good!!

stop focusing over the past and direct that energy towards your future

“july, melt my self-doubt in love and coat my intentions in layers of truth. soak my discernment in buckets of clarity so i can let go of what isn’t mine, clear the debris from older parts of myself that i’ve outgrown so i can see the path back to me. pave new avenues for growth.”

— billy chapata

meeting someone who understands you so perfectly, who is so easy to be around is kind of a blessing and a curse because it awakens you to who you are what you need from others. and then you have to go the rest of your life looking for it and feeling it’s absence when you can’t be physically together anymore

made this to cope™️

i'm just curious bc i'm watching How to Train Your Dragon and i always forget how happy and calm it makes me feel. i mean, i did name my cat after Toothless the dragon. but i also love Lion King, that's my Disney comfort movie. and my Ghibli comfort movie is Spirited Away. watching any of these when i'm in a foul mood or my anxiety is high always helps 🥰 but i watch them just for fun too, not only when i'm in a mood. what about you?

I'm autistic and I currently feel like shit checklist

Hi there. Are you autistic? Do you currently feel like shit and don't know why? Try this checklist to see if you can Fix The Problem!

When was the last time you used the bathroom? If you answered "I don't know" or "at least 3 hours ago", go now!

Do you need a drink? Go get one if you don't have one in front of you.

When was the last time you ate? If you haven't eaten yet today, consider eating A Meal, or perhaps A Snack. Something is better than nothing, eat whatever you feel able to!

Is there something in your immediate surroundings that is bothering you? If the light is too bright, turn it off. If there is an annoying sound, make the sound stop or reduce your ability to hear it (earplugs, headphones, etc.). If your clothes are bothering you, change them.

Is your space messy? Pick one area of your room and clean it up as best you can. Clean your whole room if you have the energy!

When was the last time you did An Activity? Scrolling on social media doesn't count. Try actively doing something fun! Play a game you like, read a book, make something, or go for a walk.

When was the last time you Spoke to a Person? Consider talking to a person you like if it has been a while.

How long has it been since you did something Special Interest related? Make some time to do that today. Infodump to a friend, have a nice long research session, look at related images or gifs, make art about it, whatever works best for you!

Try stimming actively! Put on some music and dance, spin in circles, go to the park and use the swings!

If you still feel like shit after trying all of these things, you might be tired or sick. Go to bed early and get some rest. Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow!

Hope that helps :)
