Saturday Snippet:

'I can't imagine what you're going through. I wish that I could take away all your pain, your sorrow.'

Obscuring the symphony of colours are buildings, for miles beyond; varying in height and width. Neither match the other, almost like civilians; different in structure, internally and externally. Resemblances can be made, the human flesh signifies their being by name while the architectural structure of bricks and mortar give a sense of binding in their outerwork. Though like humans, their outer detects are visible, signs of wear and tear, behind the flesh, humans have wounds invisible to the naked eye. Buildings tell a thousand stories of its previously owned tenants, the inner workings of furnishings or neglect are similar to human kind; a destruction of each other. And while one builds walls in metaphor to seek closure, comfort and protection; a sledge hammer of words and anger can break through even the toughest of walls.

Ways to have productive appointments with a psychiatrist:

Have a list of things to discuss beforehand. These things can be good or bad. What's important is that they have to do with your mental health.

Be honest. 100%. Don't hold back. This isn't a time to hide anything whatsoever. The more a healthcare provider knows, the more they'll be capable of helping you.

If you struggle with self expression, bring a trusted friend or loved one who knows both you and your scenario.

Try your best to be your true self. This also means doing your best to unmask. Act naturally.

Take your time when it comes to answering questions. This isn't a race by any means.

Be willing to approach your recovery by at least trying what the doctor suggests first off. There is likely more than one way to approach everything.

I say this with caution but if your doctor seems judgemental, isn't listening to what you're saying, or bothers you in any way... you can possibly try another one. But keep in mind they may see something neither your loved one or you see.

Try your best to arrive sober. Having your mind as clear as can be will give the most accurate representation of yourself.

If you wind up getting taken to a psych ward or emergency room, don't fight it. Remaining calm will give you your best outcome.

If you relax with nicotine, smudging, or grounding techniques, try to do so before the appointment.

Take your time before the appointment to really think hard on what needs to improve.

Ensure that you are fed, rested, and adequately hydrated so your brain is functioning at full capacity.

Listen to soothing music while readying for the appointment.

Do your best not to say what you think the doctor wants you to say.

No information is too much to provide.

Don't spend too much time rehearsing every which way the talk could go. What happens will happen and what'll be will be.

If an emergency arises before your scheduled appointment please do not hesitate to reach out to an urgent care provider.

Remember that, in the end, your best advocate is you or someone who sees you very frequently.

there are a lot of reasons i think pericles is really slept on as one of the most tragic characters in sdmi, and they start with how easy it is to connect the dots that he took a mind-destroying curse full to the face as an infant. one that breaks adult humans and renders them unrecognizable, when pericles was not only a baby but is from a species that is explicitly much more vulnerable to it. right from the beginning of his life the entity obliterated his sense of self so thoroughly that there's not even a version of him who shows up in the Sitting Room.

fuck, man.

#sdmi #scooby doo mystery incorporated #professor pericles #sdmi is fundamentally a show about the cycle of trauma and abuse--about breaking a very literal generational curse #and i think it does a real disservice to both that theme #and pericles' narrative specifically #that he gets painted as That One Guy Who's Just Evil and Abusive for No Reason #when everyone else gets the benefit of 'even thoroughly horrible people are still people' #'and that doesn't mean they didn't hurt you; or that you have to let them keep hurting you' #'or that you're obliged to proceed in a way allowing for the possibility they'll decide to stop. that's on them to do. and they might not.' #even w/o the systemic oppression or decades of torture and psychiatric abuse #pericles was a victim of the entity in genuinely and quite possibly the most thorough way of them all. and yet he made a lifetime worth of #choices and many many many of them were to harm people in horrific ways; to his own ends and for his own satisfaction #and like. what do you do with that. #it is difficult and uncomfortable to sit with that and draw conclusions from it that are neither 'his trauma means none of that counts' #nor 'okay yeah well he's a victim BUT HE DID BAD THINGS SO THAT DOESN'T MATTER FUCK HIM' #if there's any show that invites you to do that it's sdmi; i love that about it. but you can't leave pericles out w/o defeating the purpose #especially when the nature of his being a link in the cycle of abuse is critical context for exploring the trauma of his victims #the vast majority of what he does to ricky is very clearly projecting and reenacting his own trauma onto a vulnerable target #and just. aaaaahhhhhh i have so many feelings about it god #abuse cw #grooming cw #SDMItag

I've been really pleased with how Forte's been since reintroducing full PA training. However the mega mall was never a place he was 100% in as there's so much going on and he's a very environmentally alert dog.

So today I decided to revisit it.

Normally when we practice settling in the alcove it takes him several minutes to go from being in a down to shifting onto his side and being more relaxed. This time he immediately made himself comfortable and even put his head down. There was a maintenance person changing the overhead sign on a shop behind us. Forte didn't pay much attention until they were finished and came towards us carrying the ladder. Even still, he only picked his head up and watched. (Clip shows the end of him settling and when the maintenance person/ladder starts coming towards us.)

He did an amazing job staying beside me when we wondered around. And freely offered proximity alerts when people approached us from behind. Most of the people who asked about him were respectful of my standard "he's working but thank you for asking."

I got some food and ate in the food court and Forte settled nicely, ignoring the dropped food on the ground. Then we left and I asked him to find the car. When he did I popped my trunk, took out the tug toy and rewarded him with a super fun play session.

Really, really proud of him and impressed with how well he handled things.

#dogblr #forte #belgian tervuren #service dog in training #sdit #psychiatric service dog #public access training #he's a good egg #i expected him to need more help with the busy environment #but he handled it so smoothly #better than he did pre our break

*checking the tracking information for my package from under a pile of overpriced teas and vitamins* this next herbal supplement will fix me

*gently pokes*

Can I have some dagger and dumdum ideas you want to share but haven’t had the chance to yet…?

yes!!! yes absolutely!!! lemme think here lemme try and dig into what i haven't really talked about hm.....hm hm...here are a couple 🤲

for starters, something i really wanna tackle at some point when i stop being a baby and actually try digging around with modding is a little 'x' tattoo that they both share on their chests. just something small and a little messy because they give it to each other stick-n-poke style one night while they're drinking. dagger's is harder to see but it's beside the anatomical heart tattoo (closer to where his heart actually is). in typical fashion they don't ever really tell anyone about what it means (and they never really talked about it themselves) but they both quietly take it as a reflection of their love and belonging to each other.

even though their ship name is 'perfect drug' (NIN song) their actual ~canon song together is ring of fire (social distortion cover), which i think just suits the inevitability of their love, even when it's painful. someday in the future al's band performs this for them at dagger's horror circus UwU

#x: perfect drug #this is only a little im sorry 🥺 #well i was going to get into a point in their timeline where dagger thinks dd is dead and the results of that but #it probably warrants its own post..... #wow just realizing that they both have a moment in their lore where they think the other is dead rip. #DID i ever mention?? that when dagger gets locked up then put into psychiatric program dd hacks into the camera feeds #just so he can See him #(this happens when they sort of. are on a ~break~ of sorts) but dd hears about this and WORRIES and misses him #anyway anyway....im always happy to share about them #i am also still apologizing for the other message in my inbox re: smuttier thoughts about them #I PROMISE IM NOT IGNORING i just keep forgetting to formulate those thoughts #brain kinda crazy rn. holidays as you know. also we got a new kitten so ive been a bit frazzled. #but ty ty <3

[factorialsotherfandoms]

I read what happened, its going to break my heart when I watch it in however many days, but also... With respect to Lucie this song is now stuck in my head:

Specifically the bit that goes...

With rosemary green and bright, you're not forgotten. Eternal night can't fade your memory, dim your light, you've made a difference, you've won your fight.

#opq #i'd draw and caption the image just with the snip of lyrics but I've got a meeting in under 3 hours #and I'm supposed to be giving my hands a break #the context of the song is a bit different #and the album is dark and triggery #being about abuse of women in psychiatric institutions #I /think/ historical from the outfits but also I know it still happens #so do be careful there #if you poke around #its good music but yeeeah #Youtube

Snippet

Unwanted. 

Over sanitised and saturated lemons; a smell Louis knows only too well. It lingers in every room, his feelings of impurity made crystal clear. He's sure the woman; dark eyes and dark hair cleanses his room more than any other. It's the way she stares at him, a little too long, obtaining his inner thoughts and weighing up his soul. His skin crawls in fear of discovery, a sense of nakedness. 

Louis religiously strips himself bare, tossing the clothes into a corner of the room when she closes the door, her contaminated glare infecting him and the fibres that cling to his skin, the venom seeping into his bloodstream. Inhalation from the steamy shower maximises his lungs, restricted by her presence; skin red and sore from the intensity. Eradicating the woman's intoxication leaves Louis like a spirit the moment he exits the shower cubicle; more when he slips on an oversized button up and slips beneath the duvet; hidden in plain sight.

Health professionals and "family" didn't want me to write about my schizophrenia. They wanted me to hold my experiences in. But I'm here to do the opposite.

ppl: "really love that they toned down Sora's violent and insane tendencies from kh2 in the manga. i don't get the theory that it was roxas affecting his emotions/piloting his body at times to violently kill all of them. the organization members were his friends 😔"

they kept him in a cult since he was born and killed his best friend. are you fucking insane? he feels nothing about these people, other than that they just stood by idly while his life was a nightmare. kh2 is roxas' joker arc. fuck around and find out. sora's instability and extreme violence make perfect sense when you realize it's actually secretly roxas's murderrage revenge quest and sora is just his method of getting from one destination to other. he is inside sora's head, demanding him to press on demyx's windpipe harder. if he had the chance, he'd overtake sora entirely to kill diz too.

#ro.txt #me 'i wish roxas had a villain arc' #me 'actually wait. kh2 is this but you have to squint a little. i support him 100% 1000%. go get that revenge girl.' #i love you 'break the cutie' characters. so much #i HATE people who make him a can-do-no-wrong cinnamon roll. he is by now borderline a war veteran. let him kill people!! hes so special #and mentally ill. #he's both!! he's pretty mellow while calm. and nice! he's a nice and mellow person. but i think it's safe to say that all the suffering #gave him some pretty explicit-in-canon issues with anger violence and depression. yknow. for obvious reasons. #like not having basic human rights. and being in misery and suffering all the time. #some of you who say aqua has ptsd (and are right) will turn around and call him a ''cinnamon roll and not an edgelord'' #Disregarding the fact that he is actually neither and instead a guy who needs urgent psychiatric help immediately.

When everyone‘s Instagram stories are full of parties and fun, meanwhile you‘re in the psychiatric ward 🤡 But you know what, us lunatics we have our own party here. Met some amazing people, despite everyone‘s individual problems. I love the nursing staff who‘s caring for us in such a lovely way, I love our gay doctor who‘s just about the best doc ever and saved my transition from being vetoed, I love the former raging alcoholic who‘s actually a really nice and fun guy, I love the crazy elderly Russian lady who never ever stops talking and is treating me like her child (also saved my life when I collapsed whoops), I love the homeless woman who‘s always so nice to me while she can barely talk articulately, I love the new suicidal guy who I’ve had amazing conversations with. And there are so many more. I feel really at home here, which is kind of weird, but I enjoy being surrounded by people who are just as weird or even weirder than me.

#don‘t be afraid of asking for help #don‘t be afraid of the psychiatric ward #life is hard but there are people who can help you #break the stigma #mental health #personal

Every time I'm near my period I'm like "pls god don't send me to the psychiatric hospital" and sometimes he hears me. This time however may not be the case.

#oh my god i literally can't take this anymore #i don't get it???? am I going insane??? why is life so unbearable rn #i really really hope I don't have a harder crisis it's fucking carnaval here the hospitals are gonna be full #so I'll probably have to go straight into the psychiatric hospital. I mean it's probably not that bad i hope its just gonna be stressful #I haven't gone full breakdown yet but yesterday was shit and i literally couldn't sleep tonight bc of anxiety #but life circumstances aren't helping I'm unemployed indebted bc I had to quit my job at the mall due to my mental health #and everything I touch breaks! i don't have money to fix it literally every eletrical appliance I have is broken #i dont have family and have like one friend #there's gotta be something wrong with me #oh and it's too hot here its like 37 celsius some days it's unbearable #i got the opposite midas touch i guess everything i touch breaks 😭 #anyway why pms makes me like this. its not the only factor but god it would make me so much more sane to not have a uterus
