Relaxing is freaking hard. It’s hard to turn off survival mode when you chronically feel safe.

Here’s some positivity for systems whose plurality is influenced by anxiety disorders!
Living with an anxiety disorder can be scary, overwhelming, and incredibly challenging. For many systems, their anxiety disorder may have influenced certain members, their plurality in general, or caused them to develop their system in the first place! So here’s to all the systems and headmates who have been impacted by their anxiety disorders!
🌻 Shoutout to headmates who are anxiety holders or who are symptom holders for their system’s anxiety disorders!
🎶 Shoutout to those who became plural due to trauma stemming from their anxiety disorders!
☀️ Shoutout to those who consciously created their system as a way to cope with their anxiety disorders!
☁️ Shoutout to systems and headmates whose anxiety disorders have given them phobias or uncommon fears!
🌻 Shoutout to systems who developed a dissociative disorder alongside an anxiety disorder in childhood!
🎶 Shoutout to systems and headmates who are often scared, nervous, lonely, or overwhelmed due to their anxiety disorders!
☀️ Shoutout to systems whose anxiety disorders cause them to need accommodations in order to live their best lives!
☁️ Shoutout to systems who can’t make friends, schedule appointments, order at restaurants, make phone calls, or do other seemingly “easy” tasks due to their anxiety disorders!
🌻 Shoutout to systems who are learning to cope with their anxiety disorders, and to those whose anxiety makes daily life a struggle!
While living as a system with an anxiety disorder can be challenging and complicated, we want to let you know that we see you and your presence in the plural community is absolutely welcome! It’s okay if you tend to lurk because you’re too anxious to interact, or if anxiety influences a lot of the decisions made by you and your system. Please know that there will always be a place for you here, just the way you are, and we are so happy to have you here!
You don’t have to be anxiety-free to be deserving of love and care! We hope that your whole system can find yourselves surrounded by folks who love and accept y’all for who you are. Thanks so much for reading, and take care!

That feeling when you’re living in constant dread and even when you’re happy there’s still this underlying acknowledgment that everything is going to disappear, everyone is going to die, and you don’t know what’s going to happen ever and you just assume worst case scenario for everything and

To all the people saying “if you think cripplepunk is only for physically disabled people, you’re a MERD, just like terfs!” I have a couple points for you.
1) I am literally trans so comparing me to people, some of whom want me dead and the rest of which don’t see me as a guy due to extreme prejudice is kinda, y’know, upsetting.
2) Terfs hate trans people for existing, that is entirely different than physically disabled people wanting a space just for us. It’s like how there’s lesbian bars, it’s so lesbians and other saffic people can have a place to exist without having to deal with the rest of society, a lot of which tends to either hate or fetishize them. Or how there’s BIPOC only spaces, so people of colour can exist without the fear of discrimination and violence that exists in everyday society.
3) Not all physically disabled people are mentally abled. I personally have diagnosed ADHD, GAD, Depression and am currently pursuing both an OCD and ASD diagnosis due to high suspicion that I have both.
4) I would not be cripplepunk if I only had those, because those do not make me PHYSICALLY disabled, those do not make me crippled. If they impacted my physical ability to move/function then they would, but they don’t. My legs not working right make me crippled. My feet being shaped so wrong they fuck up why whole legs make me crippled. The constant physical pain I’m in makes me crippled. My knock knees make me crippled. My body makes me crippled, not my mind.
My mind makes my life harder. We aren’t saying that you can’t be disabled if it’s not physical, you just can’t be crippled if it’s not physical. You are still part of the disabled community and we harbour no ill will towards mentally disabled people. We just have some struggles that you don’t so we experience the ableism that we fight against differently.
Before I knew that my physical stuff was a disability and not normal, before I used my mobility aids, I faced ableism. But it was different. I’d have teachers fuck me over by refusing my accommodations I needed due to my ADHD, get sent into panic attacks due to people purposefully triggering my anxiety and ptsd, and people called me stupid and a crybaby all the goddamn time. It sucks to face ableism for mental disabilities, we aren’t saying it doesn’t, but it’s different.
When I got my cane, the first day I had it at school one of my able-bodied friends pointed at me and laughed and called me a cripple. Him having ADHD doesn’t make that any less horrible. My teacher asked me if my cane was for a cosplay and then accused me of faking my disability. She then compared my life long chronic pain to her breaking her leg when she was little when she got called out in an attempt to make her seem less ableist. I’ve had people move me and touch me without consent like I have no opinion on my own body, no choice. People constantly ask me intrusive medical questions. I’ve had someone threaten to kill me because of my physical disability. I get stared at like a zoo animal when I leave the house, every single time. I’ve had my cane kicked out from under me, I’ve been called a cripple so many times I’ve lost count. I’ve had so many people demanding to know “what happened” and refusing to take no as an answer. I’ve had someone say to my face that physically disabled people are less important than able bodied people and the able bodied deserve to live more. This is only a fraction of the ableism disabled people face. These are only my experiences, and not even all of them.
These things are so different from the ableism I face for my mental disabilities, and that’s just my experiences, there’s so much more that physically and mentally disabled people face. But it’s different. And us physically disabled people need a space where we can talk about the bullshit we deal with and fight to change it without it being sidetracked to something it’s not.
Cripplepunk is for Cripples only. End of fucking story.

I can’t find the fucking post but it’s someone having a conversation with an inner Gordon Ramsey and they fuck up their food and instead of giving them shit, their hypothetical Gordon says that the reason that he yells at people on the show is because they are trying to pass of shit food to the public, so he couldn’t care less about a guy in his twenties fucking up ramen or something.
And it reminded me that, when my anxiety was really bad and I was unmedicated, I would literally envision Gordon judging the way I made my bed (a lá Hotel Hell), or if I was making frozen chicken nuggets or whatever. I was literally so anxious and guilt-ridden that I projected my feelings onto a guy who has ZERO idea I exist and has been shown to be very kind to people, even if they have messed up in the past.
Now that I am on Lexipro, my inner Gordon Ramsey is a lot kinder (more like a Junior Master Chef persona), and far less judgmental. I’m not almost killing anyone by putting raw shrimp next to cooked chicken, I’m just trying to do better every day and taking shortcuts when I need to.
And sometimes that includes making frozen chicken nuggets.

I think there's a misconception surrounding depression that it's the same as sadness, however I don't think that's it. I'm here laying awake at 5 am after waking up for no reason at 3:30, and I want to die even though I don't feel particularly sad in fact, I'm pretty sure I don't feel anything at all. I feel sad often, right now I don't. But I still think that I don't want to continue living anymore.

Have you drawn yourself, like a meet the artist page?

I'm so glad you asked!! This gave me an excuse to draw a better reference for my carnie oc, which funnily enough, I look exactly like!
I hope this was worth the wait (sorry it took forever to respond to, a brother had executive dysfunction 👉😎👉)
Good luck to everyone who tries to read my handwriting, thoughts and prayers are with you tonight 🙏

*Recap of my last therapy session*
me when I asked my therapist what she'd diagnosed me with and she said "gad":
Tumblr media
"oh, and cptsd":
Tumblr media
Their face when I asked, "That's it?":
Tumblr media
Damn, okay Laura. 😭 For context, I just feel like there's so much going on inside my mind, I thought there would be more, which I promptly explained and she was super understanding about what I meant. Anyway, important to note that you should take care of yourselves and seek help if you can. 💛
Reminders from Laura: there is no speed-running therapy. Life is a marathon - be the tortoise, not the hare. You can't thrive if you're only in survival mode. Small changes first.

"i care about you even with your disorders and mental disabilities"
ok then, why did you get mad when i had an anxiety attack from you being not explaining why you were mad at me?
why did you get upset with me for not remembering to answer your texts when i had told you multiple times it was hard for me to remember most things?
why did you get mad when i couldnt remember your birthday even though you knew it was hard for me to remember dates?
why did you get mad when you made me so anxious that i had to leave school early?
why did you get mad when i didnt understand all the tiny social "cues" you were giving me that "told me" you were upset?
why did you get angry when i asked questions?
why did you get mad when my stimming made noise?
why did you get mad at me for not understand the subtext of what you were saying, despite it being completely different from what you were verbalizing?
why did you get mad when i actually did leave you alone when you told me to?
why did you get mad that i forgot to say good morning to you?
why did you get mad when i accidentally infodumped for long periods of time about something i was passionate about?
why did you get mad when i didnt seem happy because i wasnt smiling?
why did you get mad at me?
