TW: sh

how the fuck do I go deep with glass??? 😭

Nothings working

I've realised, the reason I was so emotional last night is either because I'm on my period or its because I was venting to my teddy bear that I pretend is my gf

Its probably both

okay.

Just watched 2 episodes of Heartsopper s3 and I'm bawling my eyes out.

Yes I've read the book

But GOD

😭

I'm actually so tired, not just from a lack of sleep

Head empty just thinking of how I accepted I was in need of a psychologist on world mental health day. I did not know it was world metal health day.

Anyone just in love with the idea of getting your life together?

This is a very important thing to know and keep in mind for everyone who feels like they're annoying. Because you guys aren't.

It was unfortunate to see Naomi lose but seeing her post after the match was truly inspiring and it makes me think that we can all learn to be kinder to ourselves and follow her newfound approach.

Is it normal to at nine thirty pm make a binder out of duct tape (the trans kind ) and then put on a unicorn hoodie and prossed to pace your house? (Edit when I took it of it was drenched in sweat and looked like a cocoon)

Is Your Theatre Friend Okay?

How to Tell if Your Theatre Person is Okay 

(based on the musical they’re listening to on repeat)

From Least to Most Concerning:

Tuck Everlasting: Probably fine. Your friend might be yearning, though.

Heathers: Probably just routine ennui or angst, but if they’re only listening to “I Am Damaged,” “Lifeboat,” and/or “Kindergarten Boyfriend,” then they’re going through it.

Beetlejuice: If they’re only listening to “Dead Mom” on repeat, then you might want to worry. This is an “I am misunderstood” musical.

Waitress: Typically a chill one, but might be nostalgic and/or feeling stuck. Worth asking if they want to talk about it.

Dear Evan Hansen: Also in the safe zone, but if you hear too much of “Words Fail,” their self esteem is probably in the gutter.

Into the Woods: They’re either genuinely fine and just enjoying Sondheim, or actively having an existential crisis. Very little in between.

Cabaret: They’re either having a fresh and sexy time listening to Alan Cumming sing “Willkommen,” or you need to ask them if they’re all right.

Fun Home: Is your friend a tortured theatre gay? Because this is a tortured theatre gay musical. Just FYI.

Next to Normal: If Next To Normal is on repeat, like honestly on repeat, you might have cause for concern. This is a very high caliber depression musical.

Les Miserables: Your friend is wallowing. They’re probably crying about Gavroche because it’s easier to cry about French revolutionaries than process whatever they’re actually going through.

Spring Awakening: Please worry if someone you know is listening to any part of Spring Awakening on repeat. This is a peak depression musical.

I’ve been thinking of getting testing for an autism/ADHD diagnosis. I don’t want to self claim that I have these things though. I don’t think my parents would be open to it, since we have a more severe autism cousin in our family, and they think that’s the only autism there is. I really don’t think I have autism though. I would like a test. Does anyone have any like.. major signs you have adhd or autism or something?? Also I do have depression and anxiety(I was diagnosed) so would that be my main “oh I think I have this thing” signs when it’s actually that?? Help I’m completely lost

my therapist: how are you feeling in the wake of your (autism spectrum disorder) diagnosis?

me: well it makes sense doesn’t it? i was the one who requested testing. like on some level i kind of figured.

my therapist: yes, i’m personally glad we pursued it because it helps me better understand parts of your behavior and how to accommodate you. but how do you feel about it? you said before that you were in heavy denial about the possibility when you were younger.

me: well yeah, i had a preconceived idea of what autism was that i know now wasn’t true. but at the time it was distressing and i didn’t want to think about it too hard.

my therapist: how was it different then? what was your idea of autism then?

me: it was, you know, severe developmental delay. i never thought i had developed abnormally at all, so to try and match up the severity i associated with autism and the way i viewed myself, i just couldn’t.

my therapist: but you did.

me: sorry?

my therapist: you did develop abnormally. both socially and academically.

me: socially yes, but i had no problems with academics. i always especially excelled at reading comprehension, more so than anyone else in my grade. i started lagging in high school but i think that was a lot of burnout and depression and ptsd, probably. i was incredibly smart. hell, i spoke in full sentences earlier than most of my peers.

my therapist: violette, that’s still abnormal development.

me: …huh?

my therapist: developing abnormally fast is still developing abnormally.

me:

me: oh.

I need non autistic people to realise meltdowns are a real debilitating thing that has a serious effect on your mental and physical health NOWWWWW!!! The way its been trivialized and lessened pisses me the fuck off. It's not a tantrum and it doesn't come from "being too weak-willed" it's painful and it's embarrassing AND MOST OF ALL IT'S INVOLUNTARY!! Don't claim to be an ally to autistic or disabled people and then make fun of people who have meltdowns. Literally get the hell out of my sight

one of the most important things, perhaps the most important thing I have learned in my life is that nice people can fuck each other up in monstrous ways. people can be bone deep kind and loving and self reflective and still lash out under pressure. people can be earnestly neighbourly and charitable and hospitable and generous and still find themselves in situations where they become selfish. people can be well meaning and easygoing and gregarious and hold deep seated opinions that turn them into vicious little bullies under the right conditions. nobody is just one thing, and nobody stays one way. every person is a kaleidoscope and they will surprise you. you will surprise yourself. it's not a warning and it's not a judgement and it's not an excuse, and it's certainly not a reason to stop trying or to stop trusting. it is just a fact.
