one of the most infuriating things about becoming an adult is when you realize that it actually is 10x easier to solve problems by making a phone call vs literally any other communication method

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.

If the right way is too hard, fuck it. Do it the wrong way.
Folding clothes keeps you from getting the laundry done? Stop folding clothes. Put a basket in your room and throw your unfolded clean stuff into it right out of the dryer, it's fine.
Rinsing dishes off keeps you from loading the dishwasher? Load them dirty and run it twice.
Chopping onions keeps you from making yourself dinner? Buy the freezer bags of chopped onions.
You forget to take your meds and don't want to get out of bed to get them? Start putting them next to the bed.
Can't keep up with the dishes? Get paper plates. Worried about environment impact? Order biodegradable ones online if your local store doesn't have one.
Make the task easier. Put things where you use them instead of where they "go." Eliminate the steps that keep you from finishing the task. Eliminate the task that is stressing you out.
Do it the "wrong" way. It's literally fine.

When I was younger and researching the autism diagnosis criteria and symptoms, I thought “oh I couldn’t POSSIBLY be autistic.” Because when I read “takes everything literally” I thought it literally meant EVERYTHING and I was like “I don’t take EVERYTHING literally, just most things!” And I just realized the other day that it didn’t actually mean EVERYTHING and that was an overstatement.

The social attitude regarding age is consistently getting weirder. You’re not ‘pushing 30’ you’re just in your late 20s. 30 is not old and neither is 40 while I’m at it. Growing older is an enormous privilege and displaying that age is a gorgeous component of life. Spending your days trying to reverse that grace breeds an eternally wasted life.

Am I actually misinterpreting social cues, or am I actually really, really good at them, and you're the one whose tone, body language, and words aren't lining up

I love how social media and video games and whatever are still considered "the reason the kids are depressed" by some people, as if the kids haven't always had reasons to be depressed. Like, I'm sure the kids were really happy when they were dying of the black plague. I'm sure they loved times of slavery. I'm sure having to fight for the civil rights for all of history was really a banger for everyone. Every war ever, especially the world wars?? Definitely a time of rainbows and happiness.
People definitely didn't jump off of buildings when the stock market crashed, and people have always loved working for people who have way more money and power than them. We definitely don't have build boards and ads literally everywhere outside of social media that tell kids what they need to look like.
No, no. There has never been any other reason to be depressed and anxious than social media in the entirety of world history.
Up until the invention of computers and cell phones, everyone lived in a utopia where unicorns shit rainbows, the world wasn't dying, and people weren't oppressed. Nah. The upsetting shit only started like 10-20 years ago.
