We've all seen a feelings wheel, but have you ever seen a NEEDS wheel?

This was a first for me when my therapist showed it to me—so now I'm sharing it with you.

Like!!

I'm allowed to need "Make"?

And "For"?!

All jokes aside, this thing is changing the way I view my needs.

I hope it changes yours, too.

Knowing and admitting you need help is one thing

but knowing what help you need or how to acquire it or where to even start is a whole other thing entirely.

Anyone have any tips or resources for this?

Mental Heatlh

All the phone numbers from all around the world if you ever need help and want to be understood. Do not do the irreparable, talk to someone. There are always people willing to listen and help you whenever you are depressed and needs help.

You do not want to die, you want to stop suffering or feeling the way you feel. You can’t bear the emptiness or the fulness of your emotions. You can’t accept some part of yourself so you instead prefer to put yourself in danger… do no do it. It is not the solution at all.

Go seek a professional or someone trustworthy enough to help you. Your life does matter. 💙

Please share it

Delete the post about Kokobot. It is a service who at best uses your messages and personal information for financial gain. Keeping that post up without clear disclaimers is seriously unethical and could put vulnerable people in harms way

I’m really sorry about my post, this is my apology to everyone. I did not realise that multiple people had mentioned this in the comments talking about how kokobot was extremely unethical and I feel awful because I know a lot of people were trying to warn me and everyone else about the dangers of kokobot. The post I made should have not been made and I am extremely sorry.

When I made that post I did it because I wanted to help other people who were struggling with their mental health, so the fact that kokobot could likely harm some people is horrible because it’s the exact opposite of what I wanted.

For clarification for people who do not know what kokobot is, if you type in the search bar of tumblr something related to mental health you will be directed to kokobot, a messagebot which says it will ‘connect you with other anonymous people’ so you can get help. However what I did not know until now was that kokobot was actually an experiment and uses users data, including the messages the have sent using kokobot to use for research purposes in their weird and unethical experiment. I think it is awful that a lot of vulnerable people who are struggling with their mental health, including myself, have been used in an experiment against their will and without knowing. I’m actually in shock about the fact that some of my own data could be used in this ‘research’ and it’s horrible to know, because a lot of people write very personal things there and I know I did, and I know a lot of people will be feeling the same way as me

So please if you see this post DO NOT INTERACT WITH KOKOBOT. It can very harmful to you if doing so and is extremely unethical and unfair. There are multiple other support services out there if you need them so please do not be afraid to reach out, it is much more safer using other support services than kokobot is

I understand my post got a lot of attention and I hope that the people who saw that post see this or find out another way about the dangers of kokobot. Once again I’m very sorry that I helped kokobot gain more attention to the patient that the bot itself even reblogged my post so it could get more attention. I didn’t realise at the time and honestly I feel like I’ve been tricked and I’m really angry and upset at the people behind kokobot right now.

If you’re seeing this right now please reblog. I need to get this message across to more tumblr users and I need to correct my mistakes. Over 400 people interacted with my last post so that’s a lot of people who think koko is ok and I need to fix that. I need to correct my mistakes

And to anyone who is struggling right now, stay safe and I believe in you, you can get through this I promise

#kokobot #kokobot issues #bot issues #tumblr issues #controversy #please reblog this if you see it #I need people to know to stay away from kokobot #to all of the people who commented on my previous post #I am so sorry I didn’t respond before hand #mental health help #mental health #koko project #i’m sorry #apology

Tired so tired actually #bit concerned that bc i Know its all irrational etc that there's nothing therapy can teach me when it comes to easing the stress of it all?#help pls

Some words that I don't ever hear despite desperately needing to hear them, just for you :]

Just because you are unsympathetic does not mean you are unlovable

Just because you are unempathetic does not mean you are unlovable

Just because you push people away does not mean you are unlovable

Just because you have cruel or dark or intrusive thoughts does not mean you are unlovable

Just because you do not fit the stereotype of "whats good" does not mean you are unlovable

And.

Just because you are alive means you are lovable.

It is not a sin nor wrong to be you. You are enough. You are loved.

...ok maybe stupid question but can anyone help me out here in understanding what is wrong with me?

prefacing this by saying I'm pretty sure I don't have ocd; I don't really have any obsessive behaviors, but, I am severely obsessive sometimes over one thing: symmetry

since I was a child, around maybe five years of age, I noticed that I could really tell when something happened to one half of me: when I step on a crack with one foot, when I touch something with one nail, when I brush on something with an arm; in these situations unless I stop thinking about the feel of the action I keep obsessing over it and I start going mad unless I can replicate the exact same experience on the symmetrical part opposite of it on my body

which is also something that just... doesn't work properly

so I end up doing actions over and over trying to adjust my mental well being but it doesn't work until I usually just, try to feel as little things on me as possible and then think about nothing

this has also made cuddling hell because I cannot relax while someone is touching me because they will never touch me symmetrically

and finally, this also happens in videogames; if my character brushes against a part of the map I will want them to brush against the other part too. the southern exit of violet town in Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver has been hell for me since I was a child

#mental health #mental health help #sorry for tagging this as #ocd #but if anyone can help me i yhink its someone browising this #long post

I feel strange. I'm tired, but don't wanna sleep. I wanna create things but when I sit down to work I just can't. I'm hungry but full, thirsty but not and happy yet sad and frustrated at myself.

What in the hell is this emotion?

mental health pro tip: if you're really struggling with brushing your teeth/don't have the spoons for it, maybe try eating an apple instead! it does a pretty good job of cleaning your front teeth and making them feel less 'fuzzy', plus your breath will smell better too. sometimes i find this easier on a bad day (and it's a good simple filling snack, if you're struggling with meal prep, too)

Omg??? So I have been terrified to work out because I just know that it's going to fucking hurt so bad because of my chronic pain but because of the pain I don't move around a lot and that makes it worse!!! And I've been on yt shorts and I just came across this guy who's doing like, beginner stuff for working out and when I saw it my ADHD ass was like oh my god that looks like something I'd do anyway when I have an energy burst?? And I tried it because it looked so low maintenance and I was SO SUS like NO WORKOUTS work for me I have always hated it and it hurts so bad and I want to be strong so bad like I was as a kid but I just lost it because of this pain. But this .. looks different like maybe I could do it it looks fun? And not hard? So I tried it and ???? It was fun? It was easy??? And i could ACTUALLY FEEL IT WORKING MY BODY and finally RELIEVING SOME OF THAT SHOULDER/NECK/AND BACK PAIN I CAN NEVER GET RID OF!!! it literally only took like 2/3 minutes because like hell fucking no I'm not going to be working out 10 FUCKING MINUTES no I can barely take my laundry to my bedroom. So I only did a few sets but it was so helpful I was flabbergasted . And I kept looking though his stuff...... Dude these are the easiest workouts I've ever done! I was like so ready to give up on the idea and try something else like yoga but it's like a mix of all of it! And it's SOOOO easy for me especially when I can barely hold my shoulders back on a good day and my posture needs a brace and it RELIEVES SO MUCH TENSION! I was maybe working out for like 15? Minutes? And that's like with lots of break baby I need to sit down for a second watch you do it and become comfortable with it. But still with all that in-between time and actually doing the workouts I was really getting my heart rate up and I could feel my muscles loosening up and I could feel the relief in my shoulders and neck and it was like I had a religious experience. I have never wanted to continue a work out I have never wanted to follow anyone on yt or anything that's doing that but this one is genuinely helping me and I'm ... Actually a little excited to try and do it everyday? To try and help me move around? And relieve so much of the pain I have and can't relieve without my medication right now.. And maybe even lose weight if I'm so brave? Become the strong person I was and have wanted to be? This is kind of super new for me like I'm 25 and I have really thought nothing was gonna get better for this because of my situation and it was just gonna get worse but.. this is so helpful.. I have fallen so far because of my illnesses and I have really not seen much hope for getting onto something that seems attainable and like could actually have a positive impact on my life. Something truly beginner that doesn't make me feel like I can't even do a beginner workout and give up. This is helping me so much and I'm honestly thankful for it. I actually.. think I want to try and do this more?

I wish I had know this so much earlier in life, but thoughts like “my childhood was super normal and pleasant why do I feel so broken” are symptomatic. They scream repressed trauma.

If you find yourself wondering things like that regularly, you could very possibly have (c)ptsd or any number of other traumagenic mental health conditions. You should consider at least doing a little research on your own if nothing else.

If you feel chronically miserable or broken or isolated or lost that suffering is valid, always. You must have lived though something awful in order to feel that kind of darkness.

You are a survivor even if you’re not sure what you survived, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Mental Health Help

I am going to start this off with- this is not an open invitation for you to come vent to me about this. Or an open invitation to trauma dump on me. I’m sure everyone who has been here since May knows that my life has gone to hell in a hand basket and recovery has been very rough on me. I just don’t have the mental capacity to help every single person. If I could I would- I’d hug you all, kiss your foreheads, rock you and hold you tight. There’d be warm blankets, and comfort food and a big cuddle session if I could handle it. Because I love and adore all of you with all of my heart and I am grateful for the community I have here.

With that being said:

I am active in the CoD community- specifically the cosplay- the adults (because I am an adult). Yes even the thirst traps- I’m an adult I’m gonna enjoy my adult privileges. I don’t care if you think it’s cringey. I am almost 30, autistic and I write fanfiction. I am the definition of cringey and I really do not care.

But if any of you are as well deeply apart of the community then I’m sure you know what has happened in the last 24-48 hours.

As a 3xs over suicide attempt survivor- hospitalized 2xs, I feel like I should post something here. For those in that same community and because I care about all of my followers. I love you all very much and your well being does matter to me in full.

Each and every single one of you has made being here on tumblr as a content creator a magical experience. Sometimes with shitty people along the way. But all of you sweethearts who have been here regardless of how much of a mess I am and how supportive and loving you guys are I am eternally grateful.

I think with what happened in the other community, that I spread some love and share some concern here too despite my absence.

I know I missed National Suicide Awareness Month last month. But it is better to be late than never say anything at all:

If you are feeling trapped- mentally, and your passivity starts to look like intent. I very much IMPLORE that you reach out for help. I have reached out to 988 more times than I can count and I am still here, alive and breathing because of their help. I even survived the dubious Club 27 because of them.

I know therapy is a luxury. I know getting professional help is a luxury especially if you live in America. (Speaking from experience.) I know in other places they might be backed up. I can’t say for certain because I don’t live there but I know it can be a problem.

So I am attaching a list of Suicide Hotlines. I personally do not recommend calling 988- the counselor didn’t talk to me about my problems which is how I ended up hospitalized. But I do recommend texting them or using the website.

If you witnessed this happen to this cosplayer, and need someone to talk too, most Suicide Hotlines are also Crisis lines. They help with a multitude of issues- Suicide, Panic Attacks, Witnessing Trauma and experiencing a Crisis from it.

For my LGBTQIA+ people who are young enough for it:

I’m adding an undercut for even more sensitive and triggering information.

For those of you who don’t know and might be new here- if you’ve bravely ventured this far - I am also a CSA/DV survivor. I have NEVER been shy about sharing that with you all. I believe in speaking out about it even if I do not go over the details. Currently I can’t even go over many details if I wanted too.

I have posted openly screenshots of my blog before. So I do not know if my abuser is watching or not. So I have been taking some risks with my PSA’s. Though I am trying to minimize them still.

As you all might be aware from the PSA my abuser is actively trying to pursue contact with me where he can.

I do believe in listening to victims, and taking their allegations into high consideration. Because there are people like me who will never face justice. Who will never see their abusers on the other side of a plexiglass jail wall. Or standing in court before a judge. Because we don’t have evidence- whether they got rid of it or they were careful.

I will NOT comment about whether or not the allegations were false against this cosplayer in particular because there is SO much conflicting information right now that I cannot make a factually accurate statement.

If you are an SA or CSA survivor I recommend contacting any of these:

If you’re in America and Canada then I recommend:

If you have evidence- screenshots and pictures and screen recordings, before you go posting them on the internet I highly recommend that you get into contact with your local authorities. Immediately.

I know a lot of the time- again- we are not believed, and personally I can’t imagine how traumatic it is to go through with approaching the authorities. Because there was no evidence for my CSA- except for ONE video I legitimately do not even know if it exists anymore or has been posted somewhere in some dark corner of the internet. That I do not want to go to jail for trying to find out. And the adults in my life did NOT make it a safe environment to tell them about what had happened to me in the first place.

If you have evidence- that CAN put your abuser away, please get with a friend, a grandparent, a parent, a family friend, a doctor or a counselor (if you have access) SOMEONE YOU TRUST- please do it if you can. I know it is a lot, I know it must be traumatic, I know it must not be easy, but if you have the support and can do it- then I encourage you to do so.
