#please lol i cannot figure out where to start #i need a healthy distraction

[creppersfunpalooza]

just finished doing the dishes which is a major sensory issue thing for me since it makes water get down my sleeves and such so yippee productivity

(my room is still a mess and i need to get it clean or else i will get yelled at 👍👍 i love feeling intimidated by mundane tasks!!!)

#actually autistic #sort of ranty #tw rant #autism #sensory issues #i hate the feeling of the soap too #and the noise the glass makes when it gets against the cleaner thing #the only thing that helps is making sure the water is fucking boiling so that way i focus more on that instead #but as you can imagine that isn’t the most healthy or effective distraction #can’t stand cold water though #auugh i HATE doing dishes more than any other chore ever #and i still need to do trash as well #fuuuuuck #crep rambling #crep lore

Me: *Visits Tumblr with one very specific task in mind* Me: *Sees the first post on my dashboard* Me: "Oh look at at that, that's funny" Me, 30 minutes later, knee-deep in my dashboard, with several blogs open in different tabs: Oh yeah, I came here to do that one thing, didn't I?

#Astatia Speaking #Real talk: there's a whole conversation here #about the attention-grabbing nature of social media. #I often find myself wishing that the landing pages of social media sites #don't have content in view so that it's easier not to get distracted. #I understand that that's a tall ask because ultimately #social media sites need to generate revenue #but I'll continue to hope for a platform that puts healthy human psychology first.

“You are the central fact of my life,” he said. “Knowing you. Waking up next to you. It’s been the most meaningful thing I’ve done. And I am profoundly fucking grateful that I got that. I think of how easy it would have been for us to miss each other, and I can’t even imagine what that lifetime would have been.”

byan disappears for two days but instead of emerging strung out and skittish like usual, their hands and arms are covered in paint and ink stains and they're a little distant but hungry as hell

#byan occasionally hiding away to work on a piece of art from beginning to finish to limit outside distractions #bc they have something in their head that they desperately need to get out #and if they lose focus at any point they'll never come back to finish it #it's probably no surprise to hear that these pieces are usually tied to their trauma #they get it in their head that if they get the vivid imagery out onto paper they'll be able to stop thinking about it (they won't) #but if they take a break at any point or get distracted and stop... coming back later is hard #oftentimes they end up destroying the unfinished piece when that happens bc now that they've had some distance #they don't want to relive the event again just to finish it #it's a coping mechanism they don't use often - at least not on this level #their sketchbooks are full of pieces like this but those are smaller and less elaborate - ones they finish in hours rather than days #sometimes certain pieces call for being bigger and more detailed... it just depends on how it looks in their mind #just smth that's been in my head for a couple days now that I've been mulling over idk #I think sometimes there's a little substance abuse that goes on at the same time too... #but not to the same level as the abuse when they disappear specifically to fuck themself up #it's more to like. make things flow and make it a little easier to sit in that memory for a prolonged period of time #so overall still not the most healthy coping mechanism :/ but it's not their WORST so. there's that. #━━ ˟ ⊰ ✰ headcanon ⋮ danger in the fabric of this thing i made. #drug use cw

Snow@Ivy The Alolan Vulpix AI looks at the mismagius curiously, “Your demeanor changes quite drastically when in your human form… Is this on purpose or is it a side effect? It’s rather strange either way…” She inquires

"But. When you have so many emotions going on at once. They tend to get 'muddled'. You have to pick and choose. And I would rather choose to have nothing than everything." "Too many emotions. About everything. Constantly." "Regret. Fear. Sadness. Dread. Hopelessness. Grief. Despair." "I'd rather not open that door. It's been over 50 years. And it'll be another 50 before I even consider it." She sighed, "I don't feel like having a. What's the word... "Existential Crisis". It's just too much work."

#Ivy. I guess? #hey uh... ivy i dont think thats a very healthy way to cope with your emotions #I guess thats why she always needs a distraction #so the dread doesnt randomly and suddenly set in #Wait wait .... ivy... are you mistaking anxiety for boredom??? I meannnn I wouldn't be suprised #You literally shove all your emotions into a metaphorical box and throw in the back of your mind how the heck would you know whats whats #also i made this post a long time ago so if it looks odd thats why #and if you wondering about the “her” mentions itll be explained in the next ish post #but if you know who 'her' is already you know🤭 #I need to update the art in the next post #some design changes were made so I need to redo the whole thing #Storyposts

And for bad oversharing medical news the arrhythmia from december never went away but I thought maybe the throat infection was still there right so that could be a reason but then I went to a specialist and not only is it practically cured (just lingering a bit) but my lungs sound fine as well! which means! the shortness of breath is probably something wrong with the oxygen in the bloodstream and the slight chest tightness is also extremely worrying I could only make an appointment to get it checked next friday and that sounds like way too long

#I know it's morbid but the only thing I can think about is how fucking mad I am at my parents and how I wish I had someone else to take care #of my things and burial if I were to die #they don't know me #they would do everything against my wishes because they never cared to listen #and Especially I am mad at my dad cause when this started he was around and I was really scared and upset and nearly crying and I told him #that I was considering going to the hospital right there and then and then he didn't. fucking say anything or ask if I was okay #they'll never listen anything just registers as crazy fucking kid having a tantrum again let's give her space leave her out of sight #And I had to Yell at him to stop telling me not to go to the hospital the next day and I mean Yell and he still said they'd deny it #that I was making it up if I had just been on my fucking own I wouldn't have double guessed myself on it and gone to the wrong specialist #and wasted time and gotten to the point where it's not like debilitating pain but constantly aware that it's there and I can only like eat #heart healthy shit that I don't even like and wait and god I am so upset at them why so I have to be alone and yet still be so tied to them #why pretend to care when I've said time and time again they're still hurting me like nearly everytime we see each other #Okay nevermind I actually Need to distract myself now usually confronting feelings is my favorite #but my body is telling me that if I want to cry I have to deal with it physically feeling like there's a hole between my ribs so #I'll hold off on it #I'll be fine #god going to sleep has been the absolute worse #delete later

Read a book today, would not recommend. I have fallen to the "just one more chapter" curse. It is now 5 am.

#lynx thinks #so... eepy #but if i dont finish these books before saturday im gonna be too distracted to properly play my dnd character #i stopped by the library today bc i finished the last one in two days and had to get the next one #but the checkout time is three weeks so i decided to just grab the rest of the series too #and these are MASSIVE fucking books. quite hefty #anyway i pulled up with them to the counter and the librarian had already put my last book back #she must have seen that i returned it really fast and that I'd come back for the rest bc she gave me a pamphlet #its for this reading competition thing for people who read more than 25 books in a year from the library #i think she suggested it bc after seeing the stack if books she told me the policy on extensions and i said i def wouldn't need one on these #... I'm beginning to question if it's healthy for me to read books tbh bc i always do this #maybe i should stick with audio books... #theyre so slow though. my eyes are faster than my ears so i can only speed up an audiobook to a certain point before it's too jumbled #i can usually do 1.5 or 1.75 speed quite comfortably but this one has so many made up words i have to remember that i can only do 1.3 speed #icb I've done this again... send help

#rly i think i need more hobbies n stuff just 2 distract me from feeling constantly angry at & hopeless about the state of my healthcare #cus it cant be healthy 2 be this upset all the time

[lewisdidthat]

i know i was saying that i wasn’t ready for f1 to start, but honestly, it couldn’t come at a better time

#tw death #i just got told my grandad has weeks left to live #i’m going away this weekend to say my final goodbye #he was so healthy at christmas time so it’s come as a massive shock #it’s going to be so hard #i need silly little distractions #now more than ever

[product05]

A lot happened on both ep 16 and 17, and it's so hard to process LMAO

But now that I think about it, there's only 4 episodes left in the season, and 3 special episodes for the 3rd and last season of The Owl House.

The show is ending... What will be my purpose once the show finally ended ಥ╭╮ಥ

#I'm in despair ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ #this is disney's fault lmao #they keep robbing us what is wrong with you #now I'm more upset lol #once again I need a healthy distraction from ep17 and this thought #toh #the owl house #toh spoilers #the owl house spoilers

[dearlyunknown]

i miss him :(

#ugh. i need to get over him. #i spent all day thinking about him. even though i was doing other stuff and trying to stay distracted from thinking about him. #i'm sure this can't be healthy for me. #i want to start therapy for other reasons but i think i might bring up my attachment to him too tbh #dearlyunknown.txt #teacher crush #📜

#hello friends I just took ventolin and I am having a panic attack and possibly dying #my heart will soon pop up from my chest #and my whole body is shaking and shivering #so I am looking for some way to distract myself and not to hyoerfocus on my bodily functions #it should be a normal side effect but I never experienced it before so I'm freaking out #how are you all doing? i really hope that everyone is happy and healthy and safe #if not I'm sending all the best things your way #like tomorrow will be the best day of your life...i promise... I'm sure you will feel better tomorrow #whatever is worrying you right now will go away and you will be happy #we will all be okay #everything will be okay #I'm not dying #i really don't want to die #I wanted to die for many years and even did some stupid things but now I'm so grateful to be here #i love my life now and I'm so scared that I'll die and lose everything #because usually when you think you're doing great the universe is preparing something disastrous for you #...so thay you don't stay happy for too long #I'm trying to breathe deep but I feel like it makes my chest hurt more #and I'm so scared to sleep because I don't want to die in my sleep i want to have everything under control if I need help #but I'll be okay... I'll get through this it's just nothing #do you guys have any plans for the summer? #do you remember being at school and having two months holiday without any responsibilities #honestly I don't think I miss it...maybe I prefer to work and have just few weeks off #it's just too much free time for me #now I feel like my body is burning #and I feel my neck pulsating #like I feel my heartbeat in my head #my smart watch is saying that everything is in normal numbers but what of they're inaccurate #I'm losing control of my thoughts so back to getting distracted #maybe I'll try to lay down and sleep

one thing abt me is that i will get my silly little hopes up despite being actively aware that thats how i get my silly little feelings hurt

#this isnt even abt anything in particular im just musing over myself and my typical behavior and the thing is i do this all thee time #with literally everything <//3 #like smth i do when i want smth to happen is tell myself “omg its NOT gonna happen it wont. so dont hope it will bc its wont” #but then secretly underneath that? i do hope it will happen <///3 #and then most of the time? it does not !!! #i need to work on this soo badly like its a problem and like. idek if trying to stop feeling hopeful abt things i want happening #its like. a healthy thing to do. but i do know that the current approach kills me. badly. #so i gotta stop it. or just indulge more in distractions when i do get my feelings hurt tht also works 😭 #but seriously seriously seriously. babe futures peaches reading this whatever specific thing ur hoping for is genuinely NOT going to happen #not teeheee i say it wont and that way it will NO it will not. and that is okayyy !!! stop getting ur hopes up dumbass #this thing abt me is so silly crazygirl core like literally i am so sensitive emotionally i dont even need #other ppl to mess with my feelings in a way which will get them hurt bc i will do it for them<3 #anyway i shld stop before i go down a self depricating spiral <3 #flappy rambles

Last night when I was on my Birdrick binge (I literally just scrolled through the tag reblogging until the webpage crashed and reloaded 😅) I was listening to a Grateful Dead show and they played They Love Each Other and there was a minute where I was looking at Birdrick posts to the lyrics ‘They love each other, Lord you can see that it’s true’ and it was nice but also very bittersweet

#rick and morty #rnm #rick sanchez #birdperson #birdrick #grateful dead #birdrick makes me so sad #because they do love each other #but also can’t be together #whether it’s because birdperson doesn’t reciprocate #or he does but he knows rick is not healthy for him #personally i like to think that he does reciprocate at least a bit #also pretty much all my fics are written while listening to grateful dead shows #it provides the background noise i need without distracting me too much #a lot of music i get distracted by it #but obviously by virtue of being a jam band they have a lot of instrumental #and also jam bands are something i’ve only recently got into #so i still don’t know a lot of their songs #so i don’t get too distracted by the lyrics
