freshly atheist

How does one cope with mortality as an atheist?

I grew up in a catholic house, I had a phase when I genuinly tried to engage in the practise. A short one to be honest. But now as my faith is completely gone I’m stuck with the feeling of hoplessness. I’ve never had to face the fear of death because I was raised to believe there was something more. My problem seems trivial but I feel overwhelmed by not only human mortality but also the fragility of the world and every living thing.

fuck it. be creative even if you never really *make* anything. write out plot synopses of stories and then move on. design OCs you'll never use. make mood boards and concept art and don't do anything with them. life's too short to forget everything that inspired you and creation doesn't have to be "complete" to be worth the time you put into it.

Welcome Back - What to Say After You Respond to an Overdose With Naloxone

We recently had the pleasure of speaking with The DOPE Project (Drug Overdose Prevention and Education) team about what to do and say after you’ve used naloxone to reverse an overdose from opioids. 

Experiencing a medical emergency like an overdose is traumatic and we can support people returning to consciousness with kindness and without judgment. 

ID: Tiles with rainbow gradient and large type: WELCOME BACK What to say after you respond to an overdose with naloxone. Waking up from an overdose can be traumatizing. As someone starts to wake up, give them a little bit of space and gently welcome the person back into consciousness. “Hi, friend. I’m [name] and I just had to give you Narcan. I’m sorry you don’t feel good. Sit up when you’re ready. You’re safe. I’m glad you’re alive. I’ve got you.” Repeat until the person is fully awake. If they are disoriented, give them more space. If they want to leave, don’t try to make them stay. Try to stay with the person for 90 minutes and remember to take care of yourself as well. After a medical emergency like an overdose, it is not the time for: Arguing, Shaming, or Shouting. When we are gentle with others, we also learn to be more gentle with ourselves.

I think I feel better with less stress. I accomplished my goals but I still feel anxious and depressed.

Have I formed a habit of catastrophic thinking and putting myself down?

I need to find a way to overcome this somehow. I can't live with this constant voice that tells me I'm not good enough.

I hope I'll find a way.
