#functional freeze

[yourhealingjournal]

*guides will include also how to maintain the burst of momentum after getting out of freeze (like: supporting yourself when you have no support system, modelling compassion for yourself, moving away from self-sabotage, how to wade through the lows of recovery period)

ps. if anyone is interested, i might start a taglist? lmk!

Life with bpd, unhealed trauma is a hell of a drug. Like.. ?? I want to be finally free and I know what to do even but it's so difficult for me to relax and to do my dbt and somatic experiencing exercises. Im in functional freeze and Im just bed rotting, doom scrolling and when Im not in functional freeze Im in fight/flight filled with anger and stress but I can't release it.

thinking about the way ghost doesn't hesitate to start killing shadows when graves betrays them but soap only takes one hostage

you can almost hear the voice in his head telling him it doesn't have to be this way; they can still talk it out

"i'm calling shepherd"

his first instinct when confronted with betrayal is to play it by the books; to go up the chain and sort it out democratically. that goes against everything we've seen him do; he’s quick to drop his enemies and bucks authority at every chance except for the one time he's confronted with the barrels of his allies' guns

he wants a peaceful resolution; for the first time we've ever seen, he doesn't want violence to be the answer

there has to be another fix, a solution that doesn't end with him killing the same men he's been working with; his friends

nothing's happened yet

it doesn't have to go this way

but ghost has been betrayed before. he knows the way this ends; either with him six feet under or his enemy

he doesn't hesitate

it's only when they knock alejandro out that soap shoots; when they spill the first blood and cross a line they can never come back from

only when ghost orders him to run and he has to cover his retreat

and somewhere along the line, between civilians’ screams and taunting voices, between his shaking breath and ghost steady in his ear, that naivety is stripped away; his trust turned to teeth that he uses to sink into throats of men he'd have given his life for

"be careful who you trust, sergeant; people you know can hurt you the most"

he's learned the price of trust

just like ghost did

but unlike ghost, he has someone to guide him through the aftermath

"good advice, It"

#i might crown myself the ceo of soap meta at this point i love digging into this boy #but it seriously fucks me up how much he tries to de escalate the situation #invoking shepherd like hes trying to remind graves of who funds him and the power he holds #the consequences he’ll face if he goes through with this. just stop and think it through first #only to be stricken silent when graves drops ‘general shepherd sends his regards’ #he doesnt say a single word after that #ghosts the one who picks up the lead for him ‘he knows about this?’ #he can still function through his shock and the gut wrenching betrayal bc he’s been through this before #and he knows freezing will get him killed #but soap doesnt #he freezes #getting shot is something he wouldve been through before but being shot by an ally? #at that moment he isnt sergeant mactavish #hes johnny and hes in shock #and thats why ghost yelling for johnny doesnt reach him #he only breaks through when he calls him soap. when hes forced back into a soldiers mindset #thats all thats keeping him going. he isnt johnny a man whos been betrayed by a friend #hes a soldier following direct orders to keep himself alive #i can only imagine the after #when he lets his rage run out and is faced with the vulnerable and painful betrayal #but ghosts there to help him through that too. there for johnny the way he wished someone had been there for him #coming out of my cage and ive been doing just fine.txt #cod mw2 #john soap mactavish #soap cod #simon ghost riley #ghost cod #soapghost

Since scars are seen as very beautiful in clan culture and that makes Brightheart attractive in the clan’s eyes, would characters like Crookedstar and Cinderpelt be considered pretty kitties? What other cats besides Brightheart are seen as drop dead gorgeous (even though she is the peak of that in the clans XD)?

I actually designed BB!Houndleap to be the perfect example of attractiveness to BB!Clan cats. Multiple colors, BIG scars, strong.

SO, yes, Crookedstar is a very pretty kitty. He's huge, muscular, has a big scar and is very strong.

Cinderpelt unfortunately is starting from a lower point. She's solid gray. No stripes, no spots. Can't fight. She does get points for her scars though; but unfortunately she's a Cleric!

#BB!Cinder is a lesbian btw. She can't really act on it but I do plan to giver her a scene #Where she sees beautiful bloodclan girlies while making that mobility device for wild with little #And freezes a little bit #Like 'oh my god i can't function around them. They are too beautiful' #Bone babble

national holiday (bridget briday)

#bridget #guilty gear #guilty gear strive #crow.gif #guilty gif #poses #taunts #yaaaaall dont even know how bad i wish there was a mod like the cheat table for xrd #SPECIFICALLY so i can freeze models and get like #moves and walk cycles and stuff #freezing the camera isnt quite sufficient #devastating. id die for it! alas idk fuckall about how to make it or id do it myself tbh #which like its odd cause uuu can freeze like the whole game. so one would think they would function somewhat similarly #i actually like found a console command that might work #but of course strive isnt about to let you touch the console. stingy.

the sheer amount of headcanons i produced while i was drawing this is insane

#a few of them i might try drawing cause theyre scenarios instead of concepts #i would actually like try to list a few down in a separate post or scatter them around in other posts #but because of the clothing i put them in here #ill focus on that #yes in the tags #nagito's body temp is very naturally cold and also gets cold very easily #he needs to have like two layers on him at all times or else he'll actually freeze #maybe even 3 layers if its Just That Cold #hajime on the other hand is the complete opposite and is both naturally warm and heats up easily #i feel like he sorta doesn't really like wearing long sleeves that much cause it feels kinda stuffy? #that or he just cant find a decent article of clothing that is both comfortable and to his tastes #chiaki is relatively normal in body temperature but she also overheats easily much like hajime #except because i hc her with autism (as an autistic myself) i feel like chiaki wears long sleeved clothing regardless of weather #because she enjoys the weight of her hoodie even if its hot as fuck out and will probably stop functioning right if she doesn't have one #anyway thats my take on my favorite trial trio #komahinanami my absolute loves #question to you guys who's read the tags: how do you interpret this? #sdr2 #danganronpa 2 #danganronpa 2: goodbye despair #danganronpa nagito #danganronpa hajime #danganronpa chiaki #nagito komaeda #hajime hinata #chiaki nanami #komahinanami #aiden.png

How did the cookie soda taste?

honestly it was a bit of a letdown

i've had a lot of the novelty jones sodas, and those managed to pretty accurately capture flavors like 'gravy' and 'brussels sprouts'

the sugar cookie jones soda just sort of reminded me of... a worse cream soda. it seems like they were trying to capture a lofthouse cookie in particular, but they went too hard on the acid component. like, i used to make these sugar cookie milkshakes all the time, and a key ingredient to making it taste like a sugar cookie was cream of tartar and baking soda. which are weird things to put in a milkshake but it fucking worked. it tastes like they tried to take a cream soda and do something similar to achieve a leavening agent sort of taste, but imho they missed the mark.

#original #unfortunate! #today i am debating making a quiche #on the one hand: quiche is good and i have So Many Eggs #on the other hand: whomst but me would eat the fucking quiche #maybe i can make mini quiches and freeze most of them #i want to find a recipe that uses buttermilk that i can make in the bread machine #i will be using yogurt whey and not buttermilk but for baking they should be functionally the same #unfortunately my attempt at buttermilk bread did NOT turn out it's the saddest loaf you've ever seen

getting a new phone after using my old ass microwave of a phone for almost 5 years has me texting my friends "YOU GUYS THE BUS APP WORKS ON THIS PHONE ☝️☝️"

#basically half my apps wouldn't open on the first one and old apps that used to work just stopped #not to mention the amount of lag. each time i'd unlock my phone there was a 50% chance that the screen would just freeze #but NOT ANYMORE BABYYYY I CAN FUNCTION LIKE EVERYONE ELSE NOWWW

i think about the fact that Nico’s powers randomly include temperature control way too much. he can make stuff cold! and is apparently immune to cold himself, at least to some degree! why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯probably ghost reasons! even though it is not inherently tied to ghosts at all and he can just Do That!

#pjo #riordanverse #nico di angelo #its probably ghost reasons for the whole ''oh ghosts are cold'' and ''ghosts make enviornments color'' thing #the other theoretical reason is ''something something mythology'' cause yknow. the whole myth of how the seasons happened #but based on that alone then Nico shouldnt necessarily have that power? #itd be more of a cabin 4 thing #idk i just like his weird cold powers. theyre so random. he is immune to cold and can drop the temperature around him. good for you bud. #it's fun to mess around with too cause Nico is basically completely unaware of it #he just does it by accident like his killing grass thing #''Nico why is there frost everywhere and its below freezing all of a sudden?'' ''oh sorry i thought i saw a bug'' #my favorite part though is the temperature powers thing seems to not be inherently tied to nico himself just naturally running cold #though it could probably affect that as well. nico naturally running cold is most likely his vitals run slower than most people's #cause we know he can control that re: Death Trance #which is another interesting thing. Nico can control his vitals! he can just go ''im gonna take five on MY HEART FUNCTIONING real quick brb' #Nico's bleeding out? no problem! just. turns off his heart. crank that puppy down a bit. cant bleed out if the blood's not moving! #this could also be why he passes out so much. his powers make his blood pressure inherently low and then uses them more. whoops. hes asleep. #i do v much like the hc that Nico just. cannot perceive external temperature. he's just always A Little Chilly cause of his powers #doesnt matter what the actual temperature is. he'll be fine. just also Slightly Cold thus Always Needs Layers

wow. Even if you do a really shitty job at it, putting plastic around your windows in the winter helps so much with keeping your home warm. did not expect that much of a difference

#being a functional adult and improving my home. yay #no more freezing to the death each night. im so done with that life omfg. #i slept like a baby last night bc i was actually in a ROOM temperature room for once. it was nice #i think much of my fatigue is probably from being cold all the time at home and at the job. #my therapist told me if you are cold you are physically more likely to dissociate and the first thing to getting out of that state is to #warm up. to prevent being in that state #txt #well. former therapist (dont go anymore) but yeah she taught me that cold temps have effects on your parasympathetic nervous system

I decided to switch Wriothesley over to a Marechaussee build, the flower and circlet are... Bad, and I really need attack on them, but those stats are absolutely hysterical.

Bonus with the leyline buff of the Marechaussee domain: how much crit damage is too much crit damage?

The answer is yes.

#i'll sacrifice some crit damage for attack in the future because i want him at ideally 1.8k to 2k #but after testing this doesn't perform worse than my blizzard build despite the much lower attack #... okay and there's something extremely funny about seeing those numbers #290 crit damage what even #and i play him in freeze so functionally you can add another 15% to that 72% crit rate #i'm not in a hurry to get those better pieces for the flower and circlet though #i've already long accepted that i live in the marechaussee domain now #genshin #ray's records #CLOCKWORK MEKAS ARE ABOUT TO CATCH THESE HANDS YALL #they won't know what hit them #mostly cause it'll kill them too fast

This apartment houses me, my cat, my ghostly ancestors who are perpetually disappointed in me, my demons that haunt me and my brain.

#And I think we deserve a bigger fridge and a decent freezer #And a functional dishwasher #My tiny shitty kitchen is driving me insane on the daily send help #Half my kitchen utensils and 99 percent of my cutlery are in the basement #And my psychiatrist told me to eat more healthy because my blood test results were bad #Woman HOW #I can't do shit with ADHD and a tiny feezing compartment in my fridge #Meal prepping and freezing isn't an option #If you want me to eat healthy get me freezer and more than fucking Bürgergeld it's not meant to let you afford a healthy lifestyle #Until then I will continue to live off of instant ramen and to go foods #actually adhd #adhd things #neurodivergent

trying not to feel bitter about all the things mental illness has kept and is keeping me from :)))

#cylas speaks #I'd be so cool if it wasn't for my social anxiety #like I am more than grateful that with therapy I have managed to become a halfway functional person #but damn imagine being able to do stuff #and not have your body freeze while your brain is screaming at it to Just Do The Thing #eventually begging. pleading. until you're so stressed and frustrated you start to cry. #and people around you are trying to comfort and encourage you but nothing is fucking working #fun times
