The Bryce and James duet is going to simultaneously make my life complete and make me a worse person. I'm going to be so annoying about it you don't even understand.

it’s weird how much lighter my life feels now. not that i don’t have any issues (because there are many in my life, as i am sure there are in yours), but they’re just so much more manageable than they were a year ago.
what’s more; i love myself now. i may not be perfect. but i am trying my best, and i can tell that i am! i see myself in the mirror, and sometimes i just examine myself, and my features, and i smile. i feel so much more authentic when talking to people, not worrying about how they view me, because i don’t have to anymore. i wish i could’ve told 15-year old me just how good it’s gotten so far, i know that he would’ve loved hearing about the shitty sideburns we’re growing out right now :’)

so CBT never worked for us in therapy. basically every instance of it was therapists trying to get us to stop being anxious about very real problems that were very likely to happen. like, situations that were not only likely, but would be very dangerous if they did happen. sometimes even things that had already happened and were likely to happen again.
meanwhile we have an app on our phone that guides you through various CBT exercises and it turns out when we use that for the kind of shit where we already know our brain is being irrational and we just want to get our thoughts together and work through the issue by writing it out, it works really fucking well and oh look suddenly we've been doing CBT for an hour and processed the root cause of several key emotional issues we've been having for years.
funny how that works. it's almost like we can actually figure out for ourselves when something is irrational and when it's an actual real problem that could put us in danger and shouldn't be dismissed. who'd have fucking thought it

i may or may not be a little autistic but honestly i’m never going to get a diagnosis for it nor do i think that my symptoms negatively impact my day to day life enough to need a one because i don’t necessarily need any specific tools to make my navigation of life easier so it’s ultimately a label that i won’t liberally apply to myself

Thinking about how in the USA (and other largely car-dependent places) it’s such a thing in the culture for teenagers to “have their first real taste of independence” when they get a license. I don’t know how to articulate this well but ... I feel like traveling, like literally just HAVING THE ABILITY to go somewhere, is so fundamental to humans in so many ways. Like developmentally, emotionally, physically, socially, it’s important to simply even just have the option. I just really fucking hate that without access to a car, you’re nearly entirely stationary unless someone else forces or permits you to exist somewhere else. It’s extremely ironic to me that cars are touted to youth as the great marker of independence and individualism. To me, there’s nothing more independent or individualist than not being FORCED TO RELY on someone or something else to simply move from one place to another. At a young age where are certainly old enough to be in public by yourself, you do not become independent by having your license and driving -- you are only shifting your dependencies.

god i hate therapy so much i really need to just quit lmao the amount of dread that i’m filled with before every session usually feels worse than anything else i deal with at this point. it’s been over a decade and i still have not had a single moment, out of like five therapist, where i thought “wow, this is helpful and i’m glad i’m doing it” literally the biggest impact has been being MORE traumatized by terrible therapists so like i think it’s probably time to throw in the towel. the first therapist i ever went to (when i was in 2nd grade) locked me in a dark closet for increasing long intervals of time. so that was my first experience with Mental Health Treatment if that maybe gives some context to my opinions here
