I took a bunch of ND courses last year after getting my ADHD diagnosis. They helped, but it was SO much information. I had a friend help me make a flow chart for it; then I turned it into index cards; then I made them pretty.
Yours will look different--my needs are not your needs, and my art is not your art. But if you find yourself burdened with the knowledge that you HAVE coping skills but you keep forgetting what they are... a pretty little visual guide won't hurt.
Also, my last therapist found it super impressive, and who doesn't like validation from their therapist?

Your girlfriend never thanked me for being such a pyro. Lighting matches with my eyes closed. Kerosene in your mouth. Drove you so far away. It's like I went and dropped you off at her house. I know you kept my number in case you wonder like, where is she now? You say you wanna check in. You're only checking on how I turned out. I'm doing better. I don't know if you remember when I told you in September that you wouldn't recognize me. When I'm in public and I just got back from London, probably spent a couple hundred on some bougie fucking IV's. I went and saw a psychic, went on a pussy diet. I always thought that I'd be happier if I could buy it. I'm doing better, I've been looking for my center. But my tummy still hurts, why does better feel worse? Ooh. Better feels worse, ooh. Better feels worse.

I am going to let you guide my behaviour. You who I haven't yet met. You who I know I will meet. My future love, my future partner. I know I should improve first and foremost for myself. I know I should heal for me. I know I should take these decisions that are right for myself. But is it so bad if my motivation is us? The life we will build together. The people we will be to each other. The way we will love each other. Is it so bad if I gather strength from the idea of us? And let that help me do what I need to do now? You will be someone I will love, yes, but also respect and cherish, and I will be someone you love, respect, and cherish. So the things I do now, the choices I make, have to be those that I can be proud of sharing with you. And breaking my own heart, letting others break it, or breaking that of someone else will not be choices I will be proud to share with you. I don't want you to look at me like you don't think I'm the absolute best. So I will do better. No matter how hard it is now, I will do better. For us.

Recent Events and Reactions
CW suicide mention, transphobia and hate: I am a trans woman who has been out and about for about 20 years presenting as myself in public. Things are so much better now in so many ways, though I do worry about the anti-trans laws being passed. Recently, the CEO of my beloved platform Tumblr melted down over a trans woman named Predstrogen. Predstrogen was perma-banned from Tumblr, and the CEO quite possibly misgendered her very nastily (I hope not) while failing to communicate well at the very least. But, far worse, he then stalked her to X/Twitter and harassed her there – apparently using his CEO power and privileged access to out certain sexually-themed handle names she used. Regardless of what she did to get the initial ban, that would be traumatizing, having a rich, powerful man follow you around on the Internet, using his power to harass and rail on you like that. I imagine she is wondering what else he might do to her now or someday when no one is watching, because I would be. I really feel that. It brings back my trans feminine fear of men who hate us. We get under their skin in some way and they have something to prove on us. That fear they will be angry enough to do something obviously not in their own long term best interest even if it becomes publicly known. The trans panic defense is still used to justify and mitigate these responses in legal settings. And that fear of a man, in a position of power, acting violently (physically or otherwise because of who we are), is real and it happens. I was a bit triggered. There have been a lot of trans woman beaten after being with a guy and he felt guilty or like he needed to assert his masculinity, let alone someone who is just angry at you for existing. There's been a lot of trans hate and also CEO hate going around on Tumblr, including people implying or actually wishing said CEO would commit suicide or 'lowtax' himself (which means die by suicide in this context).
But Matt is also a person, with a smart, inquisitive nature and a strong work ethic that has led him to do incredible things, like founding WordPress. Those accomplishments, and the many other social justice accomplishments he might cite, excuse nothing. Doing a certain amount of good doesn’t entitle us to doing a certain amount of bad. But our Heavenly Parents love him. He is a different person now than he was 20 years ago, and he will be a different person 20 years from now. I do not think it makes us better to wish death on someone, even when they have hurt us. And I do not blame Predstrogen for anything she may be feeling at this point, and I'm not saying she or anyone else owes forgiveness. I am saying that to turn the other cheek, to love and pray for those who despitefully use and persecute us, is hard doctrine and not easy to understand. But I also believe the world needs more of it. From all of us. Right now.

A couple days ago Murf was constantly like this
Tumblr media
Sleepy, drowsy, couldn't open his eye at all, making sad pain noises
And now here he is today after having his eyes examined by the ophthalmologist
Tumblr media
Also cheese treats.
His exam today plus meds are affordable with what was donated. We have to come back in a week to get his eye checked again, but it should be healed by then with the antibiotics; oral and topical.
Thank you to everyone who was able to help us get here and get him on the road to healing ❤️

Something we find frustrating about the phrase "doing better" is that if you say something like, "I'm doing better now," it feels like the assumption from everyone is going to be that you're doing well or good or are completely healed, or something like that.
Like "doing better" is easily conflated with "all better" or "well enough to do whatever it is that you want me to do."
It's possible to use other phrases, such as "definitely improving" or "better than yesterday".
But it's really hard to quickly convey a lot of nuance with just two or three words.
For instance, so far, this week, we are doing better than this time last week. We are in somewhat less pain, with somewhat less exhaustion, and less CPTSD bullshit.
We are, in fact, well enough to think we might be able to play a TTRPG tomorrow with our girlfriends.
We even shaved and made food for ourselves.
But, we're still shaky, we still hurt a lot, we still have considerable fatigue, and many of us are still incandescently furious with existence itself. And we're not really all that functional.
How do we explain that to somebody without writing several sentences in order to do so?

Guess who's back at their work desk, enjoying tea and classical music, and ticking off tasks? I even dressed up in a nice sweater and jewelry, even though I don't have to be anywhere until dinner. By the same measure, I may just have the next chapter by Christmas after all. It's a Christmas chapter, after all! Needs-must!

Your girlfriend never thanked me for making her go viral. Fuck it, I'm her idol. I get sad and spiral. Yeah, I'll buy a new whip. But you'll never see me take the high road. I know you kept my number in case you wonder like, where is she now? You say you wanna check in. You're only checking on how I turned out. I'm doing better, I don't know if you remember. When I told you in December that you wouldn't recognize me. After the glow up, I was learning how to grow up. Had a wet dream then I woke up, I was on a stage with Miley. I felt like I was flying, I felt the stars aligning. I always thought that if I ever got this high, I'd like it. I'm doing better, I've been looking for my center. But my tummy still hurts, why does better feel worse? Ooh. Then why does better feel worse? Oh. Ooh, better feels worse. Smiling on the outside, crying on the inside. You would never know 'cause I'm posing with my good side. Smiling on the outside, dying on the inside. Smiling on the outside, dying on the inside. You would never know, I'm posing with my good side. I'm doing better, I've been looking for my center. But my tummy still hurts, why does better feel worse? Oh.
