#The DBT

[demon-blood-youths]

Crash Course at Jujutsu High|| Closed RP

After the whole scary situation in Tokyo with the haunting. Gojo Saruto recommended that to help Taz with her demon cursed spirit, Kinie Ger to enroll at Jujutsu High. To help her to control cursed energy and control Kinie Ger. Taz must stay in the school for the year. 

The DBT at first were hesitant leaving Taz in the care of people they just met. But after the whole ordeal, they think it’s for the best if not for Taz telling the team that she wants to go. So the team agreed that Taz enrolled at Jujustu Tokyo High. Not only that, the team are allowed to come to the school for four months to learn about cursed energy, cursed spirits and jujutsu spirts before they go back to New York City. 

The team were excited for their lesson since it’s been awhile since all of them went back to school. They want to learn so in case if they encounter a situation like this in the states, they know what to do. Of course, one certain person wants this badly like Taz than anyone else.

-----

‘So I can to use cursed energy I have to manipulate it into a cursed technique? It can be innate or inherited.’ Ink reads the book as the team return to Jujutsu High, writing down notes in the classroom with her friends listening to the lecture. Unlike Taz, Ink has her own situation that she can’t share with anyone. She is dealing with a cursed spirit. An ancient one from the Heian era that forced her to make a deal with him so her friends won’t get hurt.

Ryomen Sukuna aka King of Curses aka The One Who Shall Not be Named aka nicknamed Voldermort because hey.....it’s the least he deserve after hunting down her friends and hurting them. Taking Oblivion and Yuuka as prizes and feeding off them. Ink is still angry with him. So maybe....if she learns jujutsu, she might do something about it. 

Hope you won’t get bored when I kick your butt! Ink writing down her notes vigorously

Of course, she made an addition to the deal that Sukuna must protect Taz since they’re going to be leaving in four months. So she needs to be prepare and uphold her end of the deal, keeping Sukuna entertained. 

Meanwhile her friends were raising hands and asking questions about jujutsu sorcery as they look to be interested.

Ryomen Sukuna, Yuji Itadori, Megumi Fushiguro, Maki Zenin, and Nobara Kugisaki belong to Jujtusu Kaisen but also to me due to rping them as muses

((Note: This drabble will have heavy grammar mistakes and errors but this was written for fun. I hope you understand but also enjoy please.))

"Your going where?" Daichi, Megumi, Nobara asked seeing Sukuna and Kinie standing in front of the three while hearing little Yuji laughing while gently booping little Taz's nose who smiled blushing.

"You heard us. Me and Kinie are going into town to get some new stuffed toys for the little ones. I'm getting a tiger for little Yuji.." he said.

"And I'm getting a panda for little taz. Though, I already got her a quoll one but I'm getting another one......" Kinie said. Both the king and his princess were wearing some regular clothing and it seems they would do some shopping.

"So we are asking you to watch over the little ones for a few hours. We shouldn't take too long to get what we need and come back." she said.

"Ohhh so you want us to baby sit them? Sure, we can do that!" Nobara said smiling with Megumi and Daichi nodding. They wouldn't mind watching them. Even seeing the two playing.

"Good. We should be back real soon while heading into town." she said to them. As the two were getting ready to head out.

"Don't worry you guys, we will watch over Yuji and Taz till you come back!" Daichi smiled happy to the two but Kinie remembers something.

"Oh, and one thing.." she said.

"Uhhh yeah?" Daichi asked seeing Kinie looking to them.

"You guys better be sure to keep a good eye on them. You are responsible to being sure little Taz and little Yuji stay safe and don't get hurt..." she glares at Daichi but only looks to them as they tense.

"She's right. We don't want anything happening to the little ones so just be sure you keep a good eye on them. Because if we find out anything happens to them or if a single hair is missing on their heads." Sukuna grabs Daichi's shirt and lifts him up to look dead in his eyes seeing red eyes. Kinie even had her dark spear showing while glaring at them.

"You all will regret it." they said in a deadly tone scaring Daichi and them.

"U..Uhhh r..r...right! Of course, you both don't have to worry. We'll be sure they are safe." Daichi said that Sukuna looks to him but drops him as he falls on his butt.

"OW!"

"Anyway, you can contact us with these phones Gojo gave us. Just keep a eye on them...we will see you soon." he said but saw little Taz and Yuji playing as they waddle over to Kinie and Sukuna who picked them both up.

"Papa! Papa! P...Pway?" Taz coos smiling at him while holding his cheeks.

"Pway Pway!" Yuji smiled nuzzling Kinie's cheek.

"Oh you two. We have to go out for a little bit but we will be back to play with you. You and your brother be good little ones okay. And Yuji, keep a eye on your little sister okay?" Kinie said but he blinks only to nod. "Good boy."

"And Taz, be sure you listen to your little brother okay?" Sukuna said but she blinks to nod, gigging while hugging him. The group blink seeing how cute they were! They really were the only ones that can calm Kinie and Sukuna down. Seeing this, both Kinie kisses Yuji's cheek and Sukuna kissing Taz's cheek before setting them both down.

"We'll be back. Be good you two." They said smiling while they giggle waving to them. The curses smiled waving to the little ones but they glared at the others to insure they would be safe. However, they stood up to head out and close the door to see Daichi sigh.

"Yeah...still scary." Nobara said but seeing little Yuji stand up but helps little Taz stand too so they can go and play with Miko and Yuria seeing how adorable they were.

"Alright guys, lets just be sure Taz and Yuji are taking care of. Lets just do our best!" Daichi said.

"We'll be fine, Daichi. Though, lets be sure they have what they can while Sukuna and KInie are gone. With that, the group goes to babysit Taz and Yuji. For a while, they already fed them, cleaned them, and made sure they were safe and protected. Even Eito was watching over the two while they were being gentle while petting and hugging the spirit. Eito chirps nuzzling against the two.

"Awwwwww, so cute!" Gojo said taking more pictures.

"Again with the pictures.." Nanami sighed looking at him but Daichi, Megumi, and Nobara sighed. Well, since they became kids, he was enjoying this. Though, so far they already were alright and told Kinie and Sukuna the two were okay.

So far so good. It was not like anything could go wrong right? Well....after a few hours, the group was resting up while making sure the two were safe.

"I'm telling you. If you just add a theme song it's fine! It'll make you look cooler-"

"I told you a thousand times Kisho, I'm NOT adding a theme song!" Megumi argues with the girls going to get some blankets for Taz and Yuji to take their nap. The two were playing in the room with Yuji giggling to pet his sister's head again. All she did was giggle and smiles.

"But why not!? You'll be cool just like me! X3"

"NO!" he shouted at him as the two argued now. This made little Yuji blink confused to why they were arguing now. He didn't know why but he was looking only to keep by his sister. As for Taz, she was giggling hugging her quoll plush before the two hear a soft baaa from somewhere.

"???" They looked around before seeing the cursed spirit Willson? What could he want? He looks to the kids but thought they were cute! He even smiled to see the little ones eyes sparkling seeing the goat ghost.

"I TOLD YOU I'M NOT DOING THAT!" Megumi said.

"OH COME ON, IT'S COOL! YOU'LL EVEN GET NOTICED BY MANY PEOPLE EVEN OUR CLASSMATES- "

"I SAID NO!!"

He and Denji kept arguing back but didn't know the little ones were now following after Willson who was letting them. He was happy while the two kids laughing softly reaching for him. This is when the girls came back to the room.

"Hey guys, were back with the blankets. Taz and Yuji should be ready for their na-" As Nobara speaks she stops seeing the two arguing. Miko and Yuria blinks confused.

"Uhhh.."

"WHY ARE YOU TWO ARGUING!?" Nobara shouted seeing them stop to look but Megumi sighed.

"Nothing. This idiot was suggesting I should get a theme song but I said no." he Megumi said.

"He has no taste!" Daichi said with the girls sighing.

"Uh huh. Come on, we need to put the little ones down for a nap." Nobara said. "So where are they?" she asked.

"They should on the play mat." Megumi said pointing so the girls go to do that but when entering the room they stop.

"........"

"What?" Daichi asked.

"Megumi?....Daichi?...their not in here." Nobara said as the two blink to get up heading over.

"What are you talking about? They are in there. Are you trying to-" As Megumi looks he tenses seeing the play room was empty. Daichi saw but his eyes widen.

"W...what?!? But they were here! We know it!" Daichi said rushing in. "Taz!? Yuji!?" DAichi said looking around for them as the girls did and Megumi too. As they were panicking, Willson was happily playing with the little ones while he was leading the two to a play area but he would keep them safe while Taz and Yuji was happily following him.

~~~Back inside~~~~

"Oh no, oh no no no no NO!" Daichi was sweating now looking like he was going to be sick. "I can't believe this! WE LOST TAZ AND YUJI!! SUKUNA AND KINIE ARE GOING TO FUCKING KILL US!" he said crying.

"Calm down! I'm sure they are around somewhere. They couldn't have gone far." Megumi said.

"You two were to watch them while we went to get the blankets for them! How could you lose them!?" Nobara shouted to bonk the two as Megumi winces.

"It wasn't my fault! Daichi started the stupid argument so it's his fault!"

"NO! I was just trying to tell you a theme song would make you look-"

"G..GUYS! This is not the time! We have to find them before Sukuna and KInie get back! Who knows what they will do if they find out!" Yuria said worried.

"I think I might know what he might do and It won't be pretty." DAichi said shaking.

"Look, lets tell everyone in school to keep a eye out for the two. They have to be around here somewhere. We can find them before-" As he said this, Daichi's phone rings as he looks to see who it was. His face pales showing it was Sukuna and Kinie.

"What's wrong?"

"I..I..It's them! Sukuna and Kinie is calling! What do I do!?" he said.

"Just answer the phone!" Megumi said but DAichi whines not wanting to but gulps to calm down and picks up. "Uhhhh Hello?"

'Hey brat. It's me. Were just calling to check on the pups. Are they alright?'

"Yeah, of course! Their fine. We ummm...just put them down for a nap." Daichi said but he was scared.

'I see. Well, I'm just calling to say we should be back in a little bit. Kinie is looking for some new bows for Taz but I got Yuji some hats. It should be another two hours before we come back.'

"Right. Thanks for the heads up! We'll be sure to do that!" he said loudly but Sukuna blinks.

'Why are you being so loud? Your shouting...'

"S..Sorry, just ummm.....excited. Anyway, we'll see you two later!" he said to hang up.

~~~~~~~

Sukuna blinks to lower the phone. "Weird." he said but heard Kinie laughing. He looks seeing her holding some cute little bows for Taz.

"Did you find something princess." Sukuna said even if other women blushed seeing how hot Sukuna looked! He looked pretty built for a guy.

"I did! Taz would look cute with this!" she said showing them. Sukuna looks but smiled.

"I think she would be three times cuter than she is." he said to Kinie who smiled being adorable. He chuckled to pet her head while KInie smiled. "Oh, I forgot. How are the pups?"

"They are taking their naps. I think by the time we get back, they should wake up. So, we should hurry up and head back." he said.

"Of course my king." she said happily finishing up as he follows her. Though, he was helping with holding the things in a basket.

~~~~Back at Jujutsu High~~~~~

Everyone is on high alert trying to find the little ones. They have looked in all the classrooms, outside, teacher's lounge, hidden spots, even other locations and no luck. Where could they be!?

"Ohhhh their going to kill us. Their going to kill us!!" Daichi cries looking cared. "What are we going to do?! What are we gonna tell them!?" he said.

"Stop panicking. The little ones have to still be in school. We just have to keep looking." Megumi said.

"But how long!? Sukuna and Kinie will be back soon! They will destroy the school if they find out!" he said but Megumi sighed. He saw the girls running over worried but tired. "Any luck?"

"No. We looked in the cafeteria but nothing." Nobara said.

"We checked the classrooms with the second grade and nothing." Miko said worried.

"Were still looking around but..what if they walked off the school grounds!?" Yuria said that made Daichi twitch but slowly think.

"O..O..Out..o..o..of s...s..school grounds?" he meeps but his eyes became dizzy and falls back to faint. Yeah, they were going to kill him. Megumi sighed to see that.

"Great.......Come on, lets keep looking." Megumi said while they just keep looking. The groups were scattered all over but they had no idea Willson was watching them. Even carrying them on his back to give them little rides. And yes, they are still on school grounds. Little Yuji laughed having fun but held onto his sister Taz who was making silly noises riding his back even petting his head.

"Goooo....f..fun!" she smiled.

"Baaaaa...sooo cute!" he said happily to reach and nuzzle the two who smile and hug him back. Yeah, they were having fun with him. Not knowing the chaos going on right now. They looked everywhere for the last few hours till it was later in the afternoon. Megumi was tired but was upset seeing they didn't find them.

Nobara was worried hoping they were alright. Daichi did wake up but he was pacing left and right. They didn't find the two and it was already getting dark.

"I don't get it. They should be around but no! Where could they be!?" Daichi said but Megumi looks to him.

"I don't know. We should have watched them better then they wouldn't be missing. All because you wanted to argue about stupid theme songs."

"Theme songs are NOT dumb!" he said.

"Guys not now! I just hope the others are having better luck..." Yuria said but they might have to tell Sukuna and Kinie they lost the pups. They were not going to be happy.

"So..h..how should we tell them?" Daichi said worried as the group thinks but it's when they heard the door open making him tense.

"Guys! were back!"

Sukuna and Kinie returned.

'Oh on..' Daichi said.

"Sorry we were late. We had to get some other things for the little ones but we hope they were good." Kinie said showing the bag with Sukuna doing the same. However, the two blink seeing the group tired or something.

"What is wrong? Did the pups tire you all out? That's a shame. They are pretty quick for little pups." Kinie smiled. "So, are they still taking their nap?"

"...."

"Is something wrong?" Sukuna asked but Megumi sighed to look at them.

"Sukuna..Kinie...we have something to tell you.." he said.

"Tell us? What is it?" She asked but Sukuna wonders too that Daichi looks scared but sighed.

"W..we......we sorta lost them?" Daichi said nervous but the king and his princess blinks.

"Lost them? What are you talking about?" KInie asked.

"...Lost as in we...lost Yuji and Taz.." Megumi said but Sukuna was shocked that Kinie drops the bag seeing the bows and stuff doll of a panda fall out. She quickly rushes into the play room to check.

"But don't be angry. We been looking for them all day! We are having the others help us try to find them-"

"....WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU FUCKING LOST THEM!? AS IN THEY BEEN GONE SINCE I CALLED!?" Sukuna shouted to make the others wince. He was pissed.

"Y..Yes but please! We didn't mean to-"

"WE GAVE YOU ONE JOB TO DO AND YOU FUCKING LOSE THEM! HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT!?" He shouted.

"It wasn't our fault! It's just me and Megumi got into some argument about him having a theme song and-"

"YOU LOST THE PUPS BECAUSE OF SOME DAMN ARGUMENT!!!" he shouted but Kinie looks to come back but she was quiet. The girls saw her upper face hidden but their was tears? Wait, was she crying?

"........You..YOU IDIOTS!" Kinie barked that her cursed energy shows up in deadly waves but she walks over showing a spear ready to hunt them all down. "HOW COULD YOU LOSE THEM! WHAT IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENED TO THEM!" she said now crying angry.

"KINIE CALM DOWN! WE DIDN'T MEAN TO-"

"SILENCE! DO YOU KNOW THEY COULD HAVE WANDERED OFF FROM SCHOOL GROUNDS! WHAT IF ANOTHER CURSE GOT THEM!? WHAT IF THEY GOT HURT!? WHAT IF THEY......WHAT IF THEY GOT KILLED!?" she said now tightening the grip on her spear but she looks up to scare them. Her eyes were glowing but the tears were seen. Even Sukuna was worried. He's never seen his princess cry like this.

"KINIE PLEASE-"

"I SHOULD FUCKING KILL ALL OF YOU FOR LOSING HER! AND YUJI TOO! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR LOSING THE LITTLE ONES!" she shouted.

"KINIE CALM DOWN!" Megumi said but she had her kinfolk surround everyone ready to attack them. "YOU FOOLS DARE LOSE THEM! I WILL BE SURE YOU REGRET THIS! I WILL BE SURE TO MAKE YOU ALL-" As she speaks, someone pulls her back only to be held. She looks up but saw Sukuna quiet.

"Enough princess........please calm down." he said but she was quiet only to cry more that she hid her face sobbing loudly in his chest. Sukuna held her but he looks to the others.

"Give me one reason why I shouldn't curse you all for losing the pups. And it better be a good damn one." he said.

"........W..we don't know we just..the girls were getting blankets for them but...after they did we lost track and...." Megumi couldn't explain knowing even from now, Sukuna was pissed off. He held a crying Kinie to him but he slowly held his other hand like he was going to destroy the room with them in it.

"W..wait Sukuna please! We'll keep looking for them! Please we are sorry!" Daichi said crying.

"......You should be. Though, I'm sure we will make you all suffer for losing them." he said in a dark tone as everyone was ready to defend themselves from a angry Sukuna. His cursed energy was showing around him. However, before he could....

A familiar baaaa was heard to make him blink. The others did too seeing from the window of Willson happily floating over.

"What the..."

"Oh great. What does the damn goat want? I"m not in the mood to deal with you right now!" Sukuna shouted at Willson. However, the goat keeps coming to the window before he floats in but was carrying two little bundles of blankets.

"????"

"Sorry evil king...baaaaaa I was having so much fun with the little pupppssss today. They got tired out after following me to play."

Wait what!?

Kinie's eyes widen to turn and see the blanket. Willson lowers down to set them on a big pillow showing little Yuji asleep with a smile but hugging little Taz to him. It was the pups!

"Ehh!?!" Willson had them all this time!?

"Hold on, how long have you had them!?" Megumi said but the goat looks.

"Huh? Alllllll day. They followed me outside but I kept a watch on them. I was trying to take them back but they wanted to stay. Why, did I miss something?" he asked.

Right away, Kinie goes to the two but she falls on her knees still crying. They were safe. They were back safe and alive. Reaching with a shaky hand, she touches Taz and Yuji's little cheeks as they sleep peacefully happy. Though, they knew it was her to yawn but nuzzle against her hand holding it.

"......." Kinie said nothing but sobs gently reaching to pick them up in her arms to kiss their foreheads.

"Oh thank god your both safe...I was so worry.." she sobs holding them but Sukuna calms down to gently go and hold Kinie with the little ones. He was happy they were safe too. He did look to Willson to say,

"Thank you for watching over them. We heard the others lost them...but thank you for keeping them safe." Sukuna said.

"Your welcome.....I didn't want anything happening to them. But they are alright...I even got them some food from the cafeteria so they were fed too. Even so, I'm going to go sleep now..it was fun playing with them. NIght night.." with that, Willson disappears to do that. Sukuna sees him gone but now looks to Kinie crying but nuzzling the two.

"....Sooooo...were not in trouble are we?" Daichi said.

".......No, your still in trouble....we told you guys to watch them...so your lucky you won't die this night. I think we'll keep a eye on them from now on.." Sukuna said but he picks Kinie up in his arms along with the bags they got for them and leaves to set them down to rest. The others remain in the living room but falls on the ground after the scare.

"...Daichi?"

"Y..Yeah Megumi?" he said.

"The next time or if we get the chance to watch them again..no more talk of theme songs...ever." Megumi said.

"...Deal." he said. Nobara shook her head but she'll write this in for a side mission. Though, she was happy that the two were safe. Meanwhile in a room they were given. Sukuna was holding Kinie who went to sleep but she was holding Yuji and Taz in her arms. He finds it cute to see this almost like he and her had a family. Gently kissing her forehead, he was happy to know the pups were safe.

"the jedi don't have therapists-"

jedi philosophy, and in particular the practices and teachings that jedi were expected to implement in their everyday lives, was therapy. dialectical behavior therapy (dbt), to be exact. anyone who's familiar with dbt knows where i'm already going with this, but like genuinely look up the basic tenets of dbt and it's identical with what the jedi were doing.

dbt, to put it simply, is a specific therapy technique that was designed for ptsd and past trauma. it's pretty different from traditional talk therapy. it combines a few different environments (individual, group, etc.), recognizing that no single format of treatment can stand alone.

the key focuses of dbt include:

emotional regulation- understanding, being more aware of, and having more control over your emotions

mindfulness- regulating attention and avoiding anxious fixation on the past or future

interpersonal effectiveness- navigating interpersonal situations

distress tolerance- tolerating distress and crises without spiraling and catastrophizing

i'm sure it's already clear from that list alone how much the jedi teachings correspond with the goals of dbt. the jedi value, teach, and practice the following:

identifying and understanding emotions

mindfulness and living in the present

compassion, diplomacy, and conflict resolution (on interpersonal scales, not just planetary or galactic)

accepting and tolerating certain levels of distress or discomfort (particularly mental, such as discomfort at the thought of losing a loved one to death)

idk man seems almost as if jedi mental health practices and dbt are two sides of a completely identical coin. (fun fact: both star wars and dbt are products of the 70s.)

and guess what? dbt was specifically designed as a treatment for borderline personality disorder. remember that one? or, if you don't, maybe you remember a specific character, the one who was literally used as an example by my professor in my undergrad psych class when she was teaching us about bpd?

tldr: simply existing within the jedi community, practicing jedi teachings, surrounded by a support network of other jedi of all life stages, was the therapy for anakin. even when viewed through a modern lens. it was even, more specifically, the precise type of therapy that has developed in modern times to treat the exact types of mental issues he was struggling with.

I was talking to my therapist about some anxiety symptoms --- "In my mind, I know I'm going to be perfectly okay, but my body doesn't listen and reacts anyway" --- and she recommended TIPP as strategies to keep in my toolbox of dealing with distress in the moment. I really appreciate having more than one option to try in moments of overwhelm!

Transcription below:

If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or other strong emotions, TIPP is a set of techniques that use the body's natural physical responses to bring you back into balance.

TIPP stands for

temperature

intense exercise

paced breathing

progressive muscle relaxation

Temperature:

The body naturally lowers its heart rate in response to cold. If anxiety is making your heart race, try an ice pack, a cool washcloth, or a walk outside in cool weather, and it should help you calm down.

Intense exercise:

Anxiety is typically a symptom of your body going into fight/flight mode. If your body is coursing with nervous energy, burn it off with 10 minutes of jumping jacks, dancing, climbing stairs, or another cardio activity to complete the stress response cycle.

Paced breathing:

Deep, slow breathing from the belly can also help signal the body to come out of fight/flight mode. Try inhaling for a count of four and exhaling for a count of six until you feel more relaxed. (I like to hold the breath for a count of two between each inhale and exhale.)

Progressive muscle relaxation:

If anxiety makes your body tense up, try this. Start by squeezing the muscles in your toes and feet for five seconds, and then intentionally relax them. Move up to the calves, up your legs, and every region of your body to purposefully let go of extra energy.

When you're feeling overwhelmed, try one or more of these to see what works for you.

Damn, this is probably why affirmations won't work for me. If you hear a thought in a voice in your head and then say a different thought out loud, the two are in comparable contradiction. It's two of the same media vying for your attention. Whereas if I say an affirmation out loud I just feel like a dumbass for lying to myself, because I know the thought in my head is inaudible and undefined, and therefore is what I really think.

I mean, I definitely will think an inappropriate thing and then go "Well, that's inappropriate to express, and could be harmful to you," but that doesn't make it less my thought. It just makes it a thought I shouldn't express or act on. I don't judge my thoughts in terms of whether they make me a good or bad person, because I know that it's whether I act on them that matters, morally speaking.

Regardless, no amount of out loud talking can compete with the nonverbal stuff going on inside. Mediating that is like 90% of what I'm doing in most conversations and certainly in all my writing. Everything I think is getting on-the-fly stress-tested for propriety before becoming words, which is a huge reason I find socializing stressful. I often get the level wrong and say the wrong thing, or I'm working so hard to figure out whether I should say Thing One or Thing Two that I miss what someone else said. It's why I prefer digital communication, I can take time to refine the thought's words before I have to say it.

Also explains why stream of consciousness and automatic writing don't really work for me. There's always a mediator for me, converting thoughts to words, so it's impossible not to consider and refine as I go. I choose every word, I can't not, because I don't start out with them in place.

Well, fuck. I don't think there's any fixing that.

i think a lot of people would benefit from internalizing the reality that just because u had a negative emotion doesnt always mean someone else did something wrong

we can be hurt without someone else being to blame for being the epicenter of that hurt. just because something makes us upset or hurts us, doesnt mean the other person made a mistake or should have done something differently or needs to apologize

negative emotions are an inevitable part of life and sometimes they were always going to happen no matter what because of the situation and there was no way to avoid them and thats okay. sometimes there's nothing to be done to fix a negative emotion or prevent it from happening. sometimes people we love and care about are going to hurt us and thats okay. its a part of being human. we will inevitably do the same to them. but just because we were hurt doesnt mean they did something wrong.

and we can take the time and space to be upset about that privately without involving them in our emotions at all. because even when our emotions are triggered by someone else, that doesnt mean they have to answer for them

the world is not divided into victims and perpetrators and sometimes people hurt us when they do the right thing. sometimes everyone can do everything right and we can still get hurt and be upset. that doesnt make them bad people and it doesnt give us the right to blame them for it or hold them responsible

Opposite Action Coping Skill

This is when we do the opposite of what we feel our emotions are telling us to do. Recognize your emotional response to a situation and the action you instinctively wish to take as a reaction to it, and instead do whatever is the opposite of that action. This is a skill that can be used when the emotion doesn’t fit the facts. For example, if you’re feeling afraid because you’re feeling unsafe in a situation (like for example, people are yelling or you’re approaching a dark alley) and your reaction is to leave, then by all means - do what is best for your safety and leave.

Some examples:

Anger

May cause us to lash out, storm off, etc.

The opposite of this may be: being kind, showing concern, or walking away briefly to take a break and come back to this when we feel more calm.

Sadness

May cause us to withdraw and isolate ourselves.

The opposite of this may be going out of our way to engage with our friends and reaching out.

Frustration

May make us want to give up.

The opposite of this may be pushing through (though taking a break if needed).

What are some pros to using this skill?

Using this skill can be empowering and give us a sense of control. It can also help with managing the emotion.

What are the cons to using this skill?

It takes time, and some trial and error to see results. It also requires the ability to identify your emotions. Sometimes we just feel an urge and aren’t sure what emotion is causing this. This skill may require learning how to identify emotions first.

Overall, this can be a very useful skill to learn. It can be effective in helping us learn not to act on emotional urges.

For @the-silver-peahen-residence for the Birthday Bash

“Thanks! I’m glad!” They’re almost there. She reads a text from Navarro that they’re almost ready. Ink knows how to buy time. “Anyway....how are you been since we been in Japan? I wish you can come with us! There was a lot of strong and awesome people in Japan. Plus the places...the onsens, the food and the shrines are so awesome!” Ink tells Jinx.

-----

Oblivion smiles a little. “Nice. I’m thinking of visting you on the island so we can hang out. I can bring my switch console and all that so we can play video games together.” She sees a text from Navarro that they’re getting things done. They’re ready.

“Let’s get going. The lunch rush is now over. We might get free tables.” She said.

-----

“Nice.” Jaron nods at the cake. “Navarro! The cake is ready!”

“Great! Both teams are arriving!” Said Navarro. “Everyone got their party poppers and all that?!”

||The useless laptop updates: A jujutsu kaisen parody||

Hi dears, Peahen mom here and me and a friend got this idea for a funny drabble involving a silly video on youtube she showed me. I can't stop laughing from watching it. But if you wanna know what, keep reading to find out. Now to let you know, this is part one so hope you like.

||Drabble summary||

Lets say thanks to some help, everything was calm and it seems Yuji and friends were getting used to showing the king of curses things. Even when it's showing Sukuna new things. So what would happen when Taz comes to ask for some help involving a angry king? Read to find out?

||Warning||

~A angry king of curses is present in this drabble

~Maybe some scary parts too

~Some funny hilarious things as well

((Guests in the drabble))

The DBT, Fosh, Taz Hellion, Kinie Ger, and Kisho belong to my amazing friend @demon-blood-youths

The curse vixens, Mouse belong to me. Sukuna Ryomen, yuji itadori, nobara kugisaki, megumi fushiguro come from the anime jujutsu kaisen but their also muses I rp with.

((Note: This drabble will have heavy grammar mistakes and errors but this was written for fun. I hope you understand but also enjoy please.))

It was another calm day for everyone here. The sun was shining, the birds were singing. It seems like it was going to be a nice day for once. That was till hearing a explosion and an angry yell from a certain king.

Nobara heard the angry shout but pokes her head out in the hallway. "What the hell was that!?" she saw Taz peek her head out as well wondering what that was.

"I would like to know where that explosion came from!" Kinie said sitting on Taz's head while being curious too. Both girls look to one another but as they step out to look outside the main window, another explosion went off causing Nobara and Taz to yelp and fall feeling the building shaking.

"Eek!"

"WHAT IS THAT!?" Nobara said sweating in a slight panic only to see the smoke coming from the other side. It seems to be coming from where the guys were.

"SUKUNA, STOP TRYING TO BLOW UP THE SCHOOL! IF YOU JUST LISTEN-" Kisho was shouting but he was there.

"YOU KNOW WHAT FUCK YOU! I AM GOING TO DESTROY THIS PIECE OF SHIT OF A LAPTOP! I HATE WHEN IT DOES THIS!" That sounded like Sukuna was angry about something. The two girls blink when hearing Megumi who was trying to calm a Sukuna down.

"BUT YOUR GOING TO KILL EVERYONE IF YOU DON'T CALM DOWN!!"

"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!! NOT TILL YOU FIND A WAY TO MAKE IT STOP! I FUCKING HATE WHEN THIS PIECE OF SHIT DOES THIS SO FIX IT!!" the king roars sending another explosion that shook the school hearing the guys screaming again.

"O.O;"

"O.O;"

"Well...seems my poor king is very furious about something...." Kinie mutters but the two girls wonder the same. Just what is going on?

~~~~Later that Afternoon in New York~~~~

Fosh was drinking some hot cocoa with Mouse who the two hackers working on a new web site for hackers only. With this, they were able to get into it with no other trying to spy on them.

"You know, I think this works. Maybe if we add some more ram it could work a bit faster?" Mouse mutters tapping on her halo tablet with Fosh checking the main frame.

"That could work pretty well. Maybe if we do we can try getting something of a good theme for it." he said with Mouse nodding to agree. As the hackers worked, the others were hanging out again with no problem what so ever.

That changed when he noticed a video call coming to him. "Hmm?"

"What's wrong Fosh?" Mouse looks seeing a video call.

"I got a incoming video call..ah, it's Taz!" he said happy but taps accept to answer the call. He saw Taz there while she was waving to him.

"Umm Hi Fosh. Oh and Hi mouse!" she said as Mouse smiled waving to her.

"Hi Taz! It's so good to see you!" she said.

"Yeah, same to you too!" she said but their was Nobara beside her as well. She looked happy to see her friends in New York but the hackers blinks noticing something.

"Ummm is something wrong?" Mouse asked.

"Ummmm well, we were hoping Fosh can help us with something..if it's not too much trouble?" Taz mutters poking her fingers together. Fosh blinks to look at her.

"Of course I can help Taz. Why what's the problem?"

Before Taz could explain-

"SUKUNA, STOP BURNING THE DAMN ROOM! PLEASE WILL YOU JUST-KISHO GET THE WATER!!"

"AAAHHHHH!! I'M TRYING BUT HE WON'T LET ME GO!"

"ANGRY SQUAKING IN THE BACKGROUND*

"I'LL KILL THIS DAMN THING IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO! I HATE IT! I HATE IT ALL!! I WILL DESTORY-WILL YOU STOP PECKING ME YOU FUCKING DAMN TURKEY!?!"

"THEN LET KISHO GO!!"

"NEVER!!!"

Fosh's eyes widen hearing the familiar angry voice and Mouse blinks sweatdropping to hear it. Taz sweatdrops to laugh nervously.

"Ummm, Taz?"

"Yeah..that's the problem. Ummmm, we were hoping you can help us out with this. So can you?" Nobara said but Fosh was nervous to know very well who's voice that was.

"...........I..."

"Please Fosh! We will make it up to you if you can help us! Please!!" Nobara said having her hands together and head down bowing on the laptop screen. He blinks to see this sweatdropping but Mouse blinks to look at him.

"....."

Now it came to Fosh's answer; will he help or not? His answer......

~~~~Minutes later~~~~~

"I can't believe I'm doing this. T_T" Fosh shudders but Mouse was rubbing his back seeing him nervous.

"There there. I'm sure you can help but I'm here to help too." she said but Fosh looks to her but nods taking a slow breath and exhales.

"O..Okay....right. Ummm, so they said they were going to take us to Sukuna or call us back after Sukuna broke the connection so we hope to hear from them.." he said as he waits with the DBT and Cursed Vixens wondering what the heck was going on.

~~~In the living room~~~

"Do you think we should ask?" Shdwkyz said with the others looking at him then at him.

"Honestly, I'm not sure if we should know." Breezy mutters sitting by Rust as he was thinking.

"Who knows? Maybe it's nothing.." Rust said with Navarro eating some food and Echo sitting by him.

"We don't know but..from the shouting it had to be something but I'm sure it will be fine." she said.

~~~~With Fosh and Mouse~~~~

The hackers were waiting before the call came once more. Fosh was nervous knowing he and Mouse would be speaking to Sukuna. Sukuna of all people or maybe Yuji got control again? Even so, he stilled his nerves to answer it.

He saw the screen again showing Megumi, Kisho, Nobara, and Taz with Kinie on her head once more. Megumi and Kisho had smoke coming off from them putting out the fire Sukuna let loose.

"Uhhhh hi-"

"Oh thank god you answered! Fosh! Maybe you can help with whatever Sukuna is angry about! Please!!" Kisho was looking to the screen but Nobara sighed to move him.

"To say in short. We didn't know what was going on till Megumi explained it but...maybe you can talk to Sukuna about it." Nobara looks to Yuji who indeed was back but he was seeing a laptop that was showing something on the screen to say:

"Restarting in 12 minutes and 45 seconds"

Your PC needs to restart to finish installing important updates. If you already saved everything, you can restart now. Otherwise, you should take a moment to save your work.

((Restart)) ((Close))

"Uhhhhh....."

"Okay, it's just saying that the laptop is needing to restart..what's the problem?" Fosh asked.

"That's the thing, Sukuna well.." Taz was trying to explain but Sukuna shows a month on Yuji's cheek to say:

"The damn thing is annoying! Why do I have to have this damn thing showing on my laptop when I only want to watch videos!!!"

Fosh and Mouse jump from the angry voice to show it was indeed Sukuna.

"Ummm Sukuna? I think that is just telling you to restart the laptop. It's not that hard. If you just let it do that-"

"BULLSHIT!! This shit comes up on that damn computer every. single. DAY! Automatically! You have to restart your computer to install important updates every single day!!"

"O..Okay? But what's the-"

"But every single day, I just hit later! You wanna know why I hate later!?"

"Well-"

"Because their is no option to pick Never! I like to click never! I NEVER WANT TO INSTALL THIS USLESS STUPID UPDATES!? WHY THE HELL DO THIS SHIT HAVE TO INSTALL THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE!?" Sukuna was about to take over to blow it up!

"Sukuna don't! Stop and calm down!" Yuji said trying to stop Sukuna using his hand to burn the laptop into molten goo.

"I HATE EM!! I HATE THESE STUPID UPDATES!! WHY THE FUCK DO WE NEED THEM!? I JUST WANT TO WATCH VIDEOS WITHOUT SEEING THIS SHIT POP UP ON MY SCREEN EVERY FUCKING DAY!"

"...Jesus christ.." Mouse mutters in shock hearing the event unfold.

"....." Fosh was speechless.

"M..Mister sukuna please calm down!" Taz said trying to help with Kinie looking at the laptop with a hiss. "SO IT'S THIS THINGS FAULT FOR UPSETTING MY KING! HOW DARE YOU VILE MACHINE!"

"Not helping Kinie!" Nobara said.

"THAT'S IT! I'M BURNING THIS DAMN THING!"

"SUKUNA NOT AGAIN! STOP TRYING TO BURN EVERYTHING!" Megumi and Kisho was trying to stop him but now the boys were in a fight cloud with Yuji yelping.

"WHY AM I GETTING BEAT UP!?! IT'S SUKUNA'S FAULT NOT MINE!"

"FUCK YOU IDIOTS!! I BLAME THE MACHINE!! I BLAME IT!!"

~~~~In the living room again~~~~

The fractions heard the shouting from the room Fosh and Mouse was in with eyes wide.

"The heck is that!?" Breezy said.

"I don't know but geez they sound pissed." Rust said with a sweatdrop.

".....I..I think I know who but..I don't think I wanna know.." Melinda said with a sweatdrop with Jaron having the same feeling. Just what the heck is going on in there? Even Ink and Jinx blinks wondering that too.

"I'm sure it's nothing..you all know how things go from time to time." Vivi said to the group but they look at one another then at the door. Just what the heck is going on.

~~~~~Back with Fosh and Mouse~~~~~~~

".....GUYS ENOUGH!!" The group stops to see Mouse shout for them to stop as she sighed to pinch the bridge of her nose.

"I don't understand why your so upset about it. Just let the computer do the installments. Besides, it will help keep the laptop running smoothly with no problem." Fosh said or tried to explain.

"Clearly you don't get what I'm saying!!!! I HATE the damn updates! I never want to install them!" Sukuna said again.

"Then just look at something else while it's installing. I mean, you said you do this every day by hitting later? So that means it might take longer for it to download what you missed." he said.

".........."

"*Sighs* Just..hold on, maybe I can check. Do you have connection access?" Fosh asked.

"The fuck is that!?" Sukuna said but Fosh felt his eye twitching with Mouse rolling her eyes.

"It's an app on the laptop that will let us take control of it. So Fosh can take control of your computer and see what the problem is." Mouse explains.

"..........."

"Oh yeah, their is that." Kisho said but Sukuna bonks him on the head. "OW!"

"Get on with it then girly! You too hacker!" he said but Fosh tenses and started on that.

"Can one of you find this app and we can start?" Fosh asked seeing Nobara doing it since Sukuna was going to destroy the laptop if he got near it. She looks for the app that Fosh speaks about and clicked on it. Right away, she saw it and Fosh walked her through the steps so he can get access to it.

"Alright, and you just hit this number in 420284 and hit enter. It will show you right after "give this user premission for access" when you do hit yes." Fosh explains with Nobara doing as he said.

"Okay 420284 and hit enter." she said seeing it working then shows another screen that said what Fosh said. "And hit yes?" she said.

"Yes."

Nobara did that as the screen said 'One moment' the group looks to see the screen had a jellyfish icon to show Fosh had control of the laptop.

"Alright I got control. Now, lets see how bad this is." he said working to check the computer. The others watch with Sukuna grumbling annoyed. He didn't want to wait.

"Hurry up!"

"Will you give him a minute!? He's working on it." Mouse said.

"I watch your tone, girly!" Sukuna warns.

"It's mouse to you!" she said.

"Guys..please don't." Yuji said even if he was doing his best to keep Sukuna from cursing others. In a moment, Fosh checked the files on the laptop but he found what he was looking for.

"Ah, here we go. Updates. Now, lets click this and see what-" As he did, his eyes widen seeing a very very VERY long list of updates that needed to be installed. Some were back a few months ago!

"...THE HECK DID YOU DO!? You had this many updates that was not installed! Your crazy!"

"I said I didn't want to fucking update useless updates damn it! So I kept hitting later and ignored it!" Sukuna said.

"B..b..but you have so many updates you need to install. Without them, I'm shocked the laptop still is working!" Fosh said.

"Look, just tell me how long is it going to take for you to install those damn updates!?" Sukuna demands but Fosh checks again but he was nervous to give the answer.

"W..well, judging from the ones you ignored, some that was out of date, udated versions and so on ummm....I say it will take.."

~~~~~~~~~

The others were watching a movie until...

"5 DAYS!!! ARE YOU SHITTING ME YOU LITTLE FUCKING PUNK!? IT'S GOING TO TAKE FIVE FUCKING DAYS FOR ALL THAT WORTHLESS SHIT TO INSTALL!?"

A very loud shout was heard making the DBT jump in fright and the cursed vixens jump looking scared.

"The fuck was that!?" Echo and Navarro said at the same time.

"..I don't know..but it sounds like someone is not happy.." Hellmare said wondering the same.

"Also, watch your language you two." Vivi said seeing the bombers grumbling sorry.

"Yeah, it indeed sounded like someone is pissed." Rust sweatdrops with Breezy agreeing.

Now both fractions were slowly looking at the door where Fosh and Mouse were.

~~~~~~~~~~

Fosh was scared but he can see the anger coming off that Sukuna took over Yuji as the others were nervous.

"Oh damn it!" Megumi said.

"YOU MEAN TO FUCKING TELL ME...IT'S GOING TO TAKE FIVE DAYS FOR THAT DAMN LAPTOP TO UPDATE! I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!"

"Y..Y..You have to! Because you didn't udpate it as you were suppose to, it's going to take a while for it to be up to speed. That's why they said you have to keep it up to date or this happens." Fosh said trying to explain.

"GRRRRRRRRAAAAHHHHH!! WHAT FUCKING USELESS PIECE OF SHIT! I'LL NEVER WANT TO WAIT JUST FOR THIS TO UDPATE! THAT'S IT! I'M BLOWING IT UP RIGHT NOW!"

"Sukuna NO!" Fosh and Mouse saw Megumi and Kisho trying to calm Sukuna down but noticed the fire balls going all over that Nobara ducked Taz's head and Kinie hissing at the laptop.

"That's it! I'll destroy you for upsetting my king!"

"..What the heck is going on..." Mouse mutters.

"I..I don't know.." Fosh said too as both hackers sees the chaos right now, Taz heard something explode as the connection was lost from the computer he was controlling.

"Uhhhh, give us a moment Fosh! We need to calm Sukuna down! I'll call you back in a second!" Taz said worried but stood up. "Mister Sukuna please calm down! Your going to-" That's when the screen cuts off to show:

~~Connection Lost~~

"........."

"........"

"Okkkaaayyy..that was...disturbing."

"......."

Though, you okay Fosh?" she asked looking at him but Fosh didn't say a word.

"Uhhhh Fosh?" Mouse asked touching his shoulder that he falls back passing out to crash on the ground. "Fosh!?"

"@-@;" He had swirls in his eyes twitching, with a small soul like version of Fosh showing from him as he was twitching.

".........." Mouse sweatdrops to help him. Yeah, that didn't help. Though, she saw the door open showing Vivi and Shdwkyz come in to see.

"Mouse? What the heck happened!? Why is Fosh knocked out!?" Rust said seeing the others looking inside but Mouse sweatdrops to sigh.

"Lets just say....we...had a little issue but...we'll explain when Fosh wakes up." she said now fanning him to help him wake up. The DBT and cursed vixens blink with sweat drops showing on the side of their heads to wonder what the heck just happened.

However, they will after a while. And when Fosh wakes up.

I am a chrysalis. It is a difficult phase, melting down all that you had built around yourself to protect yourself, all the work I have done, accumulating insight and skills, until I have wrapped myself in a shell to come back to the most basic part of myself to rebuild myself into what I am meant to be: a human beautifully flawed and brimming with vitality. In some ways, I will always be in the chrysalis, always breaking down to build back parts of myself more truly me than before. Break and build. Break and build.

But, soon, so soon, I will fly. Oh, how I will fly.

Understanding Self Sabotage:

This is something I learned in group therapy. Just trying to spread knowledge to others who do not have the means of attending therapy at this time. I got you homies, I will upload more screenshots after my sessions throughout this week <3

It's not as simple as 'reaching out'

I HATE when people state that people with mental illness have to reach out for help and can't expect people to deal with them until they heal, as if it's as simple as calling a helpline and then we're miraculously cured.

For the past 10 years I have been 'reaching out'. I have seen psychologists, counsellors, psychiatrists, social workers, peer support workers. I've been hospitalised 9 times (3 of which I was involuntarily sectioned). I've tried 15 different psychotropic medications including anti-depressants, mood stabilisers & anti-psychotics. I've tried countless forms of therapy - DBT, ACT, CBT, Art/ music therapy, schema, cognitive analytical therapy etc.

I have reached out and was met with: 18 month waiting lists for specialist help Dismissive & gaslighting doctors who don't listen or even want to help Therapists who refuse to work with me because of my BPD diagnosis Being told I'm 'too complex' and my conditions are never going to get better Being completely sedated by medication because doctors would rather me not be an issue to others instead of actually helping me

Blamed for the abuse I sustained as a child and traumatising things that have happened to me and being completely re-traumatised

All this and then I get the honour of paying $200p/h for these 'professionals' to 'help' me.

I have been dehumanised and vilified by almost every doctor/ psych I have seen over the past 10 years. Not listened to , over medicated and left hollowed out, worse off and hopeless; so no... it's not as simple as 'reaching out' and mentally ill people deserve healthy relationships even if we aren't in therapy.
