17 going on 18

being 17 is so wild because I always thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. It's so easy to want to try and change the world and get a doctorate in astrophysics and a million other things but for some reason, right as those feelings reached there climax I'm craving simplicity. Maybe I just want to own a flower shop with someone I love and look at the stars with them and go to pottery classes and hike on the weekends.

I have fucked up every single thing I have tried to knit over the past three days. I don't know what to do. Knitting is what I do when I'm not up to doing anything else. What do I do when I'm not up to knitting? This afternoon I lay in bed for an hour and a half doing literally nothing.

I wonder if it's another perimenopause thing.

I should probably take a break from knitting for a couple days, but I seriously don't know what else to do with myself.

That said, one of my favourite things about knitting is that it's pretty much the only thing I allow myself to be bad at. So maybe I should just keep casting on, fucking up, frogging, casting on, fucking up...

Okay, I've tried to restart the engine but it's still not ready. I'm probably gonna take a break from a few ongoing animation projects and hopefully I'll be back in January with a bunch of shit to post.

This is a big post with some context and kinda personal stuff, skip if you want but here it is:

Oh my gods I am stressed... it hit me over the weekend as I got some pretty negative news about a personal issue and I tanked...

The only art I've done is a small biblically accurate angel sketch and an utterly shit Valkyrie which I erased BC it's meant for my college work and I hated it 😭

I don't have the mental capacity for that shit and I'm just not doing too great so if I ghost for a while this week, I'm sorry guys. I'll get the art done soon tho and post it BC then I'll have a motivation that isn't just "get it graded". I want to share my work and Ik you guys want to see it so maybe once my brain pieces back together, I'll post more consistently but ATM, expect gaps...

#mental health #burnout? #college #art #im fucking tired man #drumming is all that got me out of bed this weekend 😭 #im fucking questioning if im on the right course bc of that #i know why i want to go into art #i wanna do tattoos and body mods #but music... music keeps me sane so like... whadoidooo?? #imma speak to my college wellness team and see if they can help bc its messing me up so bad #anyway #thanks for reading #ig #i hope yall have a good week #its 1:30am i should be asleep 😭😭

Between a rock and a hard place

I was lucky enough to see a pain specialist earlier this month, and it has genuinely been a life-changing experience. He has adjusted my pain medication regime, and recommended several changes to my lifestyle. I am now doing gentle exercise four times a week, getting at least seven hours of sleep a night and am making an effort to eat closer to the Anti-inflammatory Diet. I feel better and my pain has reduced to a 6 or 7 out of ten.

However, there was one area that I'm having trouble with - Stress. I am an English teacher who specialises in educating teenagers with low literacy. These kids are often neurodivergent, come from trauma backgrounds or have fallen through the cracks. In addition to helping their spelling and reading, I also build up their confidence and self-esteem and make them feel cared for and valued. This is not an easy task, and I often work or worry about work while at home.

Recently, several situations have occurred, both in my classroom, and between my colleagues in my office. One person in particular has been responsible for creating a very competitive and toxic environment in my workplace. I am constantly stressed, often to the point of tears, and I have noticed my pain beginning to flare up again.

So here's the crux of the problem - Do I stay or do I go? I want to stay to help my students and to help the school community. I love our school - It is small, I know pretty much all the kids, and my husband works there. It has been my family for nineteen years. But I also want to leave. I do not want to be constantly exposing myself to these stressors and risk compromising my health and its newfound improvements.

I have a therapy appointment tomorrow, and I'm also aware that a lot of these pressures are acute and may pass in the next few weeks. It could also be the Term Three blahs - It is our longest term without any breaks or public holidays. But I also have never thought about walking away before.

I might be shouting into the void, or just getting my ideas out of my head and into words. If anyone wants to comment on this wall of text, please do so.

I’m so confused

Just in general, between work, school, home, and personal life, there’s no time to process the internal things like hey I might have ADHD or hey am I really ace. I’m just so exhausted constantly that there’s no time for any other emotion to fill the free time other than tired confusion. I wish that I could figure this all out in one night but life isn’t that way

I just wanna sleep

God the worst mood is the "Why are you crying?" - "I don't fucking know" mood.

Please, for the love of god, please don’t be this person. No matter how long it’s been since an update, no matter how many unfinished stories are sitting on their account, no matter what - do not be this person.

Not only is it insanely rude, but you also do more damage than you think be being such a self-entitled ass about something someone created for free and for fun. “This author” can see what you say.

RIP decency indeed.

chronic fatigue from mental illness and neurodivergency isn't something you can just will your way out of. your nervous system is part of your body. your brain is an organ. the fatigue is real. you're not lazy. so be kinder to yourself. be gentler with your bodymind.

Happy New Year: where its actually the same season

I'm just feeling grateful to be keeping the learnings from past years close to my 2023 heart and feeling like I've actually embodied them.

Now, its about recognizing the trends from last year, making those into goals, and keeping that focus. The ideal is that what I'm building on this year is what 2025 me will need. But who's to say what this is, how to plan that, and letting go of my planning-reflex.

I'm thinking about that as I embrace the theatre Aug/Jun cycles. Its entertaining to witness how the changing of the Gregorian Calendar impacts the emotional-energy of the office. And how our last year's energy is still propelling the new year. How do office members not burn out, keep building on what they're learning, and have a sense of accomplishment?
