I beg you in the year of our lord 2023—please don’t use “bipolar” (or “bpd,” for that matter) as a shortcut for “this character is (almost) irredeemably broken and fucked up”??

#end stigma #major pet peeve #stigma is bad enough #please don’t use mental disorders you don’t understand like an easy label #mental illness issues #actually bipolar

i am desperate to reprogram my defeatist core belief system, but i have no idea how?

i keep looking for the tools, anything other than 'just trick your brain' because that shit doesn't work. so much of the advice is 'fake it till you make it' and how on earth does that change anything if you know you're faking it? if you know what the truth is? gaslighting yourself is impossible if you know you know better

but it serves nothing being like this. believing the things i do. that i will always fail, so it isn't worth trying anything. that the damage of failure makes nothing worth the risk of doing it in the first place. that i am worthless, which explains everything bad that happens to me, and how it is my fault (due to the being worthless). i have been like this my entire life, and it's never ever helped me, but i don't know how to just - be different? i want to know how to untangle these cables and remove them and plug in new ones that serve me better

i just don't know how

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.

hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.

hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy

hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it

hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently

hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love

horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

Look, this is what moral OCD is like for me:

I walk past a piece of paper. I don’t pick it up because I had a long day at work and it’s very cold outside. This then becomes my internal monologue:

I didn’t pick up that piece of paper, I should have. Don’t I care about the environment? It’s not my trash, I shouldn’t have to pick it up. But also that’s how these things happen right? We place the blame on others as our environment degrades. It was just a piece of paper, it’s not like it can do that much damage. But also how do I know: I’m not an environmental expert. Maybe stray paper scraps are killing the frogs. You’re literally killing the frogs. You should look up how many frogs die a year so you know how shitty you are-No stop it.

I care about the environment, and I recycle and I joined green activism movements but is that enough? I could be doing more. I should be doing more. I should donate my entire check to charity. But isn’t it self serving to think that my one check could help that much? Do I really think I’m that important, how self entitled and-no stop it, reset! You are obsessing and if you fall for it, you will not eat dinner. Let it go.

Okay it’s just a piece of paper. It’s okay you skipped it this once: it could have had something dangerous on it. Yeah that makes sense. But also, that means I’m putting my own safety over trying to help the environment, which is very selfish of me. I’m just one shitty person: god how could I be so self absorbed. I should have picked up the piece of paper. I’m so selfish, and shitty and-no, no, stop it! This is not helpful. It’s fine.

It’s been a long day and I’m cold, that’s not a crime- no that’s being selfish again, you’re making excuses. You’re just a lazy piece of shit who doesn’t care about others, and selfish and God the fact you’re thinking this much about one piece of paper shows how selfish you are, you care more about if you’re a good person than anything else, you’re a piece of shit, you’re a piece of shit, YOU’RE A PIECE OF SHIT.

I get home and open up Tumblr. The first post I see says “if you don’t reblog this post about the environment you’re as complicit as an oil billionaire.” I close my computer and resign myself to looking up the state frog populations until I go to bed.

I don’t eat dinner.

The amount of frogs that die a year is somewhere from 200 million to over 1 billion.

#moral ocd #ocd #scrupulosity #Iz rambles #this is okay to reblog I think people really don’t get it #mental illness #the issue with the social media post is not that it exists or that OP even feels about this issue: the issue is it validates my ocd #I don’t obsess about frogs but that is a bummer stat I do rather like them #obsessive compulsive disorder

friendly reminders:

you don't have to be productive every day

you are worthy even if all you did today was get out of bed

there are people out there who care about you

your existence makes a difference

if something bothers you, then it bothers you. no one has the right to tell you otherwise

you are allowed to take up space

there is no 'right way' to grieve

you cannot put a time limit on emotions

your likes and interests are valid and they matter

it's okay to take your time in doing things. not everyone can do everything at the same pace

i think re fake it till you make it, the idea is you’re kinda reprogramming your brain? so eventually youre actually thinking that not-defeatist thought youve trained yourself in, rather than just pretending to.

its likely a very slow process (and i think going to neutrality is possibly a better first step than trying the opposite) but i know that for me stopping jokingly saying kms did help me be less passively suicidal so theres some improvement.

it sucks and its hard especially after decades of training your brain in one way. i found making ridiculous jokes or blaming a random name helped too?

that makes a lot more sense, actually. thank you for the clarification! i just hate being told i need to 'trick my brain' because it's such an absurd concept. like knowing how the magic trick works - you can't not see it -- if you know, you know

neutrality might be a good idea. i can try that, to start, and see how i go, but i feel so self conscious pretending to be more than i am even when nobody's around, i get so embarrassed, and my humiliation trigger is a huge issue for me then

i'll try a few things and see how i fare. i know it's going to be a long, arduous process, my main fear is working at it spending months and months and suddenly realising i'm making zero progress (and wasted all that time) because i'm trying the wrong thing
