worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

no but the thing is. they KISSED. on screen. it was a real scene, not deleted, not removed from a script, it HAPPENED in front of the world's eyes. and AND the actors are normal about it and the whole cast and crew is normal about it and it's not vague and it's IMPORTANT. no matter the rest of it and what came after it, it happened!!

I think when people think of mental illness and what helps, especially with things like anxiety and depression, the treatment involves pushing yourself. Pushing yourself to get out of bed, to exercise, to take a shower, to go out in public, to order your own food from the cashier, etc.
And because the mental health movement has grown so much, people think that's the default of ALL illnesses. That the only way someone will get better is if they push themselves. That practice makes perfect. That you'll become more comfortable or strong over time the more you do something.
But what people need to realize is, with physical disabilities and chronic illnesses, pushing yourself in most cases is DETRIMENTAL. Pushing yourself past your limits can lead to flare ups or further injury. That's why it's important to know your limits, how certain activities may affect your condition, and learn how to either adapt or get help to complete the activity in question.
Also, most of us are already pushing ourselves. Most of us don't have access to the help or equipment we need. Most of us live in places where we frequently encounter inaccessible obstacles. Most of us NEED to rest.
So please don't try to be our physical therapists or doctors. There are people specifically trained to help us navigate our own conditions and limitations. There are people trained to help us strengthen our body's resilience without causing flare-ups or injury. Do not tell us "it'll be good for you" or "you need the exercise" when we say something is too heavy or too far or when we say we need our mobility aid(s). Your friend with depression may need to be encouraged to get out of bed, but your friend with chronic illness definitely doesn't.
Respect our rest.

in the dark I found my sight
And there your name was written large in letters bright!
There my faith was! "Worry not!" declared the night

Azul, answering the phone: Mostro Lounge, how may I help y-
Y/N, on the other end of the line: There is an eel in my tub.
Azul, baffled: Wha-excuse me, what?
Y/N: There is an eel in my tub.
Azul, even more baffled: I don’t...
Y/N, watching as Jade crawls his way into the tub: Oh great, now there’s two eels in my tub.
Azul: . . .
Jade: *Shoves Floyd aside to make more room*
Floyd: >:0 *Slaps Jade with his tail*
Jade: *Immediately smacks him in return*
Y/N: They’re fighting. Oh my gosh, the eels are fighting.
Azul: I-
Y/N: Come get your slimy ass eels, Azul!!!
