Water is Life

The sacred waters of the primordial cosmos

Is the Cosmic Mother’s womb fluid

Mary is the Infinite Sea [Mer, Mar, Mur]

The ocean out of which life emerges

The ancient legend of Lemuria & Atlantis

Is a matriarchal memory of

Inner technologies that harmonise

The ground substance of the body

Water from the ancient ocean

Were kept in immersion pools

In sacred feminine temples

For deep healing & integration work

To bring the emotional realm

Into balance within the body

So that we become whole and present

The water rites of our cultures

Is a memory of the importance

To honour the waters that

Sustain life and emotion in a body

Me: Man, I should really watch Cats! The Musical so I can understand all these great Bigtop Burger references.

Me: Watches the first minute of Cats! The Musical and sees all the sexy furry cat people shimmying and cavorting and crawling around and rubbing their bodies against each other in skin-tight stripy leotards

Me: Man, you know what, maybe... maybe next time, actually. Definitely next time.

#bigtop burger #Im not trying to shame Cats the musical or anyone who likes it #but everytime I try to watch it I cringe into my skin like a hermit crab retreating into my shell and I don't know why #I want to watch it to get all the btb lore so bad #but I just CANTTTT #I'm going to try to introduce myself to it gradually #like immersion therapy #wish me luck

Heyyyy i saw your post about writing your daydream to cope with maladaptive daydreaming. Do you have antimite tips that your therapist gave u ? ( cause therapy is kinda expensive for me right now)

Thanks <3

Hey, thank you for reaching out, I'm genuinely really glad you did. I'm afraid I'm not a great resource for this, honestly. Soon after that post I quit the job that provided therapy, so I don't have much more to offer. But I'll give you all of the things that I remember from therapy in case it can serve you!

(Assuming you're trying to stop disassociating,) look out for triggers. What makes you switch from being present to daydreaming?

When you initially notice you've switched to daydreaming, try to stop. This sounds obvious, but I've had to really keep it in mind, and there's usually a reason you switched to daydreaming (for me its usually anxiety or a lack of stimulation) and going back to reality isn't what your mind wants, so try to have something you are switching to. For instance, when I try to become present again, I usually start describing an object I see, and sometimes I shift to describe everything I'm experiencing, so all of the senses, things I'm seeing, hearing, smelling, feeling. And then once you're in the moment, then you can more easily switch to being actually in the moment as in conversations, etc, not just aware of reality but also a part of it. (Describing objects also helps with anxiety and spiraling, if you struggle with that)

Keeping a record of your daydreams can help if you are replaying a lot or if you have a story you are interested in building.

Setting aside time to daydream can help. It sounds counter intuitive, but if you stop yourself from daydreaming other times and say no I'm gonna daydream at 3 till 3:30, then when that time comes you daydream and then you stop yourself. This can build up self control and can break the urge to daydream whenever.

Trying to keep your mind occupied can help. If you daydream while you fold laundry, then maybe try playing music or a podcast or an audiobook and try to stay focused on it.

Doing yoga, or journaling, or something aimed at practicing awareness (physical, emotional, etc) can really help. Even stuff like spending 5 minutes describing everything I see and hear and feel can really help. A big part of getting away from MADD is just training your mind to be able to focus on the present.

Ultimately, what I've found is that maladaptive daydreaming is really just an addiction. And it's a coping mechanism. If you can find what you're coping with and can find a healthy way to deal with it, or find a way to cut it from your life, both are good options, but neither will necessarily stop the disassociation. If an addiction is narrowing activities you enjoy down to the one thing, then the way to break it is to find more outlets, more things you enjoy. If you have hobbies you don't do anymore, or things you used to be interested in, pursuing those can be good. Finding other things you enjoy doing can be super helpful.

On writing: (I didn't get this from therapy, just personal experience) it might help to write down everything from past daydreams that you remember (I personally would get really caught up in trying to remember all of the things. I had been daydreaming for about 5 years when I started writing, so I was trying to remember a lot. And I did forget a lot.) if you have a timeline, feel free to type it up. I write it down almost every time it comes up. I'll have clips of dialogue running in my head and I'll pull out my phone and type it up. Same goes for if I have a plot idea. I write it down to explore it later during the time I set aside for it. If I'm scared I'll forget it, then it runs over and over in my mind and it takes up time, and I don't want that. If I want to explore it, finish the scene, then I'm committing more time, and I don't want that. So it really helps me to cut it short by writing it down.

I'll add more to this list if I think of anything. Hopefully this helps in some way, feel free to reach out again! I tried to highlight my main ideas, sorry if it's distracting but I thought with so much text, it might be easier to skim.

Lusamine, please go back into the meat suit—

More shit in the under cut

Fictionals are these entities who are made solely for entertainment. To do that, they must wear the suits of their characters and bear their names to, in their creators' words, make their characters' existence seem "believable" or "real". While it doesn't seem too bad at first, there are some whose personas are... A tad too unpleasant to live as.

This one is very unfortunate enough to get assigned as Game Lusamine and got a lot of flake for it. Too much in fact...

Edit: I had to clarify that it's the game version this Fictional has been assigned with. She got unlucky because of how her home territory treats their villain actors, especially the ones like her.

you can always make a para that is essentially you but exists only to punch the shit out of things and be generally evil and upset, it is always morally correct

#❌ therapy ✅ giving this para the love and acceptance you never received for having difficult emotions #they can also be a straight up villain if you so desire. idk it's YOUR brain #maladaptive daydreaming #immersive daydreaming #madd #cicero* #<- my para <3 #okay but definitely after this pandemic is over i am making my parents get me therapy though #mark stops daydreaming for a sec.txt

THE WORST PART IS THAT HE AND ANGEAL WOULD GET ALONG BUT IN A SUPER WEIRD WAY

They're both stoic grumpy dudes who have this playful side that only people who are really close to them get to see and they'd talk about honor for HOURS until Angeal mentions the 'dreams' parts and Varian would be like "That's a little childish don't you think?"

And then they'd fist fight.

#NOT LIKE A FIGHT FIGHT SDKJGH but an 'oh it's on dude' sort of man-bonding fight #they're both 6'6" and built like brick walls god help us all #also i'm grinding my teeth with this immersion therapy god help ME #king and lionheart #GODDDD that tag has some dust on it #what do angels dream of

[eirian]

im probably going to get shit for this but like. hot take. if your therapist encourages you to indulge in pedophilic/incestuous fiction to help you "cope" you need a new therapist

#i know immersion therapy is a thing but this is like. this aint it #your therapist is actively encouraging unhealthy coping mechanisms <3

Late to the party (as always) but, if you're willing to assume it is set in the alternative universe next door where everything is about one centimetre to the left, S1 of Hannibal is really good.

I've been yelling 'it's criminologically incoherent! it's biologically implausible! it's well-done and very beautiful and the sound design is fascinating if intrusive!' for like a week.

I admit that the second half of S2 is kind of losing me, because I feel like the character beats really came together and then kind of disintegrated to preserve a tension past when its resolution was really due, perhaps to meet the practical demands of a series timeline. But it's still beautifully made and very well-executed. (Ha.)

If I had to review S1 I'd say "beautiful but nonsensical, good fun, 4 stars."

The thing that worked for Marc Summers is something called immersion therapy. Uh, where, to get over the fact that you're really worried about getting dirty, they make you climb around in giant waffles covered in fake butter. And that seemed to fix him pretty good.
