less telling marginalized ppl to "Find your community"

more telling society in general to "Cultivate safe spaces"

less telling struggling ppl to "Reach out for help/support"

more telling society in general to "Provide meaningful, affordable, informed, accessible help/support"

Blog about the deeper reason behind my 'embrace the chaos' philosophy. You see, my mom passed away at 55, and my dad was only 56 when he left us, too. Way too young. It's a stark reminder that life doesn't come with guarantees.

Heal on your own time. There is not one correct and particular way of healing from pain. We all go down different paths, it doesn’t mean it’s wrong or something to frown upon. All we need is a little hope, self-care, and a support system that never judges and gives up on us.

dear god the more i watch season 2 the more glaringly obvious it is that NO ONE is listening to Simon, let alone asking what he wants/needs! (with the exception of Wille trying really hard to give him space)

Marcus is super pushy/manipulative, Ayub and Rosh keep pushing him toward Marcus too, Sara's busy with her new living situation/secret relationship, and Wille keeps making these attempts to get close to him.

the scene in E5 when he's home with Linda and Sara and he says he's not going to be singing the solo, clearly upset about it, and Linda just brushes it off and starts gushing about Marcus 😤 i feel pain over this boy going unheard

Sometimes the way to make sure someone keeps standing up and moving forward is not by being behind them while pushing them, but by offering support while walking along beside them and comforting them, holding them when they fall. It's okay to just be there for someone and you should have someone be there for you. Please assert boundaries with people so you have the actual support you need instead of constant pressure.

Being autistic people have all kinds of ideas about what to expect from me. Not being able to do stuff to simply thinking I'm stupid. There are those that know me however that do see me as an equal with intelligence of high caliber. Yet, they also refuse to see the tendencies that are often accompanied with my condition.

I have a very specific way of doing things. Which means no loud noises, no loud music. People can get upset and wonder why, or argue about how unfair it is they have to give up their ability to listen freely. When I tell them it's because I might have some kind of emotional episode that could lead to irritation and potential violence, their response may be something akin to "you're not that autistic" and my response to it is "doesn't matter, the tendency is still there regardless and I struggle to maintain control at that point, which is something I dislike"

No response given then is taken as acceptable. Why though is it this way? Because overstimulation can lead to emotional outbursts. Which there's only so much of it I have control over. Especially now that I've already begun the process of "demasking". But because I'm very aware of my own tendencies, I can manage it pretty well and keep myself far away from that result because I can plan for things to happen.

At the end of the day, mitigation is key. I know I can never truly get rid of my own tendencies, but I can definitely lessen the impact or potentially prevent them from happening.

No longer do I fight against myself for control, I shape my environment with caring people, surround myself with things I like and love. I alter things as needed, and honestly, it's been one of the best ways I've been able to prevent any outbursts other than making sounds or crying loudly.

and don't let anyone manipulate you into feeling guilty about it. It was all good when you were constantly giving yet receiving nothing back.

Alright!

I’m looking for people to every so often inquire how I’m holding up/hold me accountable to the following:

After years of a calorie dense (and boring) diet due to long covid severe nausea for the last 3.5 years, mixed in with admittedly heavy alcohol (they say trauma can hit out of the blue even years later, sad to say it’s true) use in the last year… I am ashamed to say I gained all the weight I’d originally lost and then some from my last time.

It embarrasses me to say I started at 245 yesterday.

I walk my dogs twice a day but they don’t make it much of an exercise, though I get on my indoor cycle for 30mins at least 4x a week.

Tried Ozempic, made my nausea explode.

I don’t really have the energy to throw in a higher pace walk for myself on top of my dog walks. Fibromyalgia and long covid are exhausting.

But I’m starting Nutrisystem again (jerks won’t ship frozen foods to Canada!!! so, just the plain, preserved ones) and hoping the structure will help me physically and mentally. I lost a routine and really need one back, and one of my own, not revolving around someone else’s.

So far, first night, 2lbs lost, though that will slow down after the first 7-10 days.

Besides decreasing my pain levels, losing weight would make me eligible for breast reduction surgery (another thing keeping me from, say, jogging, or just… existing without pain in general).

I’ll include a few photos of my starting weight/as I gained weight, and a few of my goal size as inspiration.

But what I wouldn’t mind if someone checks in once in a while and asks how the weight loss is doing. If any of you do that (along with @cuthian my dear one) I’d be supremely grateful. A support network is key, especially with the alcoholism which I am entirely ashamed of.

Find pics below the cut!

Current/recent (I don’t have many full body shots but you can really tell with ny double chin):

Previous/lost weight last time:

My biggest indicators are my face (rounder, plumper, double chin)(and my beer belly from drinking, now) and so comparing face to face seems a good starting goal to grab onto. I mean… I have a cute chin! I want that back.

Sadly, one of my medications adds about 15lbs total… but I got down to 180lbs last time I tried this even with my medication. So it’s doable. And my parents are paying for the Nutrisystem again, on the oath of no more alcohol and I try my best.

Though I will fight anyway who doesn’t include me in special family dinner with shawarma wraps, but I got the calories sorted, yay! Just some extra exercise.

Thanks for listening to my very personal ramble. Again, if you’d like to help, please reach out whenever. Even just cheerleading/a like here and there, is great encouragement. ❤️💜💙

Love y’all muchly. 😘😁

Pregnancy fics are not my cup of tea. It's hardly ever done nicely and it reminds me of love story fics that are entirely about the crush and not the relationship.

Children aren't props.

What I like better are adoption fics. A child needs a home and love so the character provides. The child is their own person with their own struggles and now they have a support system.

Don't get me wrong this can also be done poorly if the child's struggles are just highlight how 'good' of a person the Mc is. That's terrible too.

I especially enjoy it when they kind of just end up with the kid without meaning to. (though the thought of this happening to me terrifies me)
