I've come to the conclusion that the best way to quit bad habits and start good habits is to pair them, like goes with like, and then replace them one at a time. Figure out why you do The Bad Activity and what Good Activity would scratch the same itch. Wanting to start fights on the internet just for the sake of arguing either means you want social contact, and you should try catching up with friends instead, or you're in the need of intellectual stimulation, and you should try reading a book instead.

If you want to pick at something you're not supposed to pick at, give your hands something else that you're allowed to pick at. Dogs that don't have chew toys will chew on walls, and your hands have the urge to do things. If you're fiddling with stuff you shouldn't fiddle with, try gettin a stim toy. If a stim toy is insufficient and you still want to pick on your face or nails until they bleed, try finding a hobby that you do with your hands. Knitting, crafting, those adult colouring books, tearing unsalvageable old bedsheets into long strips and then braiding fabric strips for no reason.

And it doesn't have to be a 100% thing either. I've replaced roughly 30% of my fucking-around-on-the-internet-doing-fuck-all time with reading a silly book and painting Warhammer figurines, and I've been much happier.

i realised that the reason i'm feeling especially down is that my biological mother would be 54 today

#and she didn't even get to live to 52 #and how do you grieve someone you never consciously knew

all the negative feelings hit me this week

it just feels so unfair, why did i have to miss out on more than 28 years?

hopefully everything will be good and will last very (!) long
