#mental health stuff ya know

[pollenallergie]

“do the hardest task first”

no. just… no.

hot take: this doesn’t work for people with adhd (in my experience/from what i’ve heard from other people with adhd in my life). i recommend doing the easy/moderately difficult stuff first, that way you can convince yourself that it’s all going to be this easy and undemanding. then hyper-focus will kick in because your brain is like, “yeah, we can do this, we’ve got this.” then, before you know it, you’ve completed both the easy tasks and the hard tasks while hyperfocusing.

like, on a serious note, it’s always been easier for me to convince myself to get the most difficult tasks done when i’m already working/in the working frame of mind, not when i’m laying in bed or sitting on the couch, mindlessly scrolling through stuff on my phone, and struggling to start at all.

if the choice comes down to you not starting at all or starting with the easiest task first (which, for me, it often does), always, always pick starting with the easiest task first. sometimes you need a small victory, a little bit of an accomplishment, to give you the courage to take on bigger challenges.

#adhd #audhd #in my experience… ‘study tips’ or ‘time management tips’ from neurotypical people will almost never work for us #they don’t conceptualize time the same way we do #they don’t look at challenges the same way we do #it’s okay to take bits and pieces of their advice #ya know… whatever parts of it work for you #but don’t think that you have to use all the strategies and programs that they do to be successful #because you don’t #all that fake business soft skills/mental health guru/grind mindset stuff is total bullshit #pick strategies that speak to/work for you #it’s okay to fail at things and to have to try again #it’s okay to make mistakes and not get shit done sometimes #sometimes you need a fucking break #it’s okay to start with the easy stuff first and just ease your way into being productive #it’s okay to hyperfocus and work for hours on end sometimes #if it’s hard for you to take breaks when you’re studying and you feel like you learn better if you stay in that hyperfocused zone #than just go until the hyperfocus wears off #then take a break… eat… nourish your body… take care of yourself… and come back later #maybe later is later on that day #maybe later is tomorrow #either way is completely fine #do what works best for you #work with your neurodivergent brain… no against it #pol’s diary <3

Trying to maybe figure out stuff for a Voyager edit/photoset. Can't seem to find the right photo though...

Anyone know some moments from Bun-Of-Steel era Janeway holding something up? Or just gesturing with her hands up?

#star trek #kathryn janeway #voy #star trek voyager #I am trying SO HARD to do creative stuff #despite constant physical and mental health issues #so ya know it's back to fandom edits

[echidnana]

does anyone else dislike the term mental health. like how it's being used. idk like we don't feel safe in "mental health" focused spaces because we KNOW they are talking about like. testing anxiety or dealing with relationships or managing family. not like. genuine madness or stigma

#its all very. idk. #it gives us bad vibes #our school has a lot of mental health resources and counseling but we know implicitly that it isnt for us #if we were to engage with it wed be instituionalized. ya know. #we avoid mh professionals #the only one weve ever talked to briefly about plurality was our therapist #and we do now avoid talking to her about that #she helps us a lot with “logan” stuff but our system stuff #we know its pathologized #and we would be tried to be “fixed” #i guess thats the crux of it #that mental health sees any divergence as somthing unhealthy or to be fixed #daisy.txt

Whumptober 2023: Day 12 (Genshin Impact)

There was much work to be done.

Between dismantling the Akasha Terminal, uprooting the corrupt sages, and salvaging the organizational structure of all of Sumeru, there was not a moment to lose. There was also the added factor that the people needed to be assured during this tumultuous time. Unfortunately, Nahida was a practical stranger to them, and assurances from strangers never seemed to have the same effect. The fact that she was their archon only helped a little.

The light turned red, and I ran it (Jujutsu Kaisen)

He was Gojo Satoru. The strongest sorcerer, the only special-grade to call. He was the heir to the Gojo Clan. He was the pinnacle of everything jujutsu could hope to achieve.

He didn’t know how to make pancakes.

-

Memento Vivere: Chapter 2 (Fairy Tail FMA AU)

“I’m going to kill you!”

“Oh yeah? Then come over here and—ACK!”

Gray was not a child. He didn’t find senseless violence amusing. He did, however, laugh when Natsu fell on his ass on the ice-slicked hallway, because Gray was a bit petty. And Natsu deserved it.

Whumptober 2023: Day 19 (Genshin Impact)

It had been five days since Lisa had been abducted inside her own home. Four days since Albedo tugged Kaeya to the side and shared his hushed concerns about the scorched marks on Lisa’s kitchen tile being a result of Khaenri’ahn sorcery. Three days since, after determining that she could be anywhere in all of Teyvat, they sent word to the Milleleth first in hope for some confidential international support, and then to the Traveler, in hope for a miracle. Two days since Ningguang herself sent a falcon back, with word that they were aware of the mysterious scorched rune and that Captain Beidou was similarly missing. One day since Albedo received word from Forest Watcher Tighnari and they learned that General Mahamatra Cyno was missing as well. 

Kaeya was at a loss of what to do. It was a position he was seldom in and he hated it with every fiber of his being.

Whumptober 2023: Day 12/26 (Jujutsu Kaisen)

“Oi! Sensei!”

Maki did not make it a habit of making a commotion to get Gojo-sensei’s attention, because he was a diva and he didn’t need his head to be even more inflated, but she had been waiting for that bastard to show up for days now, and she wasn’t going to let him poof away. Again. 

-

Kintsugi: Chapter 5 (Fairy Tail)

Erza’s closet was huge.

Lucy’s jaw audibly clicked shut when she realized that she was gaping. It was larger than Lucy’s had been, back at home, and she had been nobility for crying out loud! And Erza was… Well. Lucy absolutely was not judging, but Erza and her brother kinda lived as hermits in the woods. How Erza managed to collect such an assortment was beyond her.

-

Current BTHB: Hives (Twisted Wonderland)

The worst part about taking showers was all of the stuff they entailed. At least in Pomefiore. It was way, way too much. 

Epel used to be able to take simple, hot relaxing showers, with a single shampoo that would clean his entire body. It was fine. But noooo, things were different in Pomefiore. There were only a gazillion products for a ton of different things. Epel could hardly keep it all straight. Sure, they made his skin smoother and his hair softer, and it wasn’t a terrible feeling, but it wasn’t worth it. He couldn’t skip any of it though, because Vil would notice, and the housewarden’s lectures were worse.

-

Within Infinity (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Ieri Shoko was informed that when she would be attending Tokyo Tech, or whatever it’s official or unofficial name was, she would have two classmates. The small class size was to be expected when sorcerers weren’t a plentiful group, but she was dreading it all the same. That few people in such a small proximity promised interaction, and sorcerers were infamously a weird bunch. Her dad had been proof of that, for certain, as much as she hadn’t minded when it came to him. 

The thought of being forced to get along with two random kids until they graduated or someone died was enough to make Shoko reconsider her dad’s wish for her to attend regular medical school. However, Shoko didn’t like her prospects among regular people either, so she figured she would stick it out with the weirdos. Besides, if her old man’s passing was anything to learn by, sorcerers needed doctors too. (And a few miracles, but Shoko didn’t have any delusions about that one.)

-

Unmade (Fairy Tail)

Natsu couldn’t remember how he got here.

That by itself wasn’t a big deal. Natsu was used to not having the best memory. He was also used to getting knocked out. It happened from time to time. Hell, half the time it was inflicted by Erza. But that was fine, because his friends would make sure he was okay.

Except this time, he woke up alone and chained to a low-hanging stone ceiling, so Natsu was beginning to feel nervous. Just a bit.

Okay I might accidentally re-tag somebody but let's seeeee (and no obligation to do this, of course), ummm @genavere @jinn-mori @breezy-cheezy and @phoenix-before-the-flame for the heck of it :3

(and as always if this looks fun and you want to do, pretend I tagged you and we roll with it)

#tag game #wips #wip stuff #fairy tail #genshin impact #jujutsu kaisen #twisted wonderland #I bet I missed some but if I forgot them then they are not haunting me right now #funnily enough I thought I started the next chapter of runaways but nope #my mental health was in the hole when I started that hiatus lol #better now so I'll get back to it soon enough #whumptober first though lol #because as you can see I am enjoying myself #this doesn't include the notes I have for other days #just the prose I have started #some of these titles are pending too so ya know

[desthebolt]

Me, sitting here watching my entire dashboard get bombarded with splatfest grief: … Everyone okay? Yall want some fruit gushers and some water or some shit? Yall need a break?? Like what is happening rn

#des rambles #i want to be explicitly clear that i saw the results i know what happened #but like……….. i think if stuff like this is makin ya feel bad then i think it might be best to step out and take a breather #this is not meant to be rude or mean or passive aggressive. i am genuinely here telling yall to take care of your mental health #i didnt play this splatfest cause 1) i forgot and 2) when i remembered i knew i couldnt play w friends #so i didnt bother. cause i enjoy splatoon more w friends #also for anyone that comes in and is like ‘this is about racism towards frye and how she never gets wins’ im not denying that #i love frye so much. i was skeptical at first because nintendo is WEIRD with south asian rep and im literally south asian #so trust me. I GET IT #but like yall just need a break #if its not fun just take a break and come back another splatfest or play salmon run w friends #its sad to see so much bashing and negativity all at once #im not saying it shouldnt be talked about. but i think we all just gotta sit and relax for a bit

#hey I've been on a bit of a hiatus with writing and other projects #answering this cause ive had some anons asking for updates on drabble requests #leaving a toxic job that I endured for a year #getting a new job and new enviornment #finding out I had a whole ass other family I didn't know existed #and trying to keep up with the cost of living has taken a huge toll #on my mental health and wellbeing #to the point where I had to take time off my new job and go on a peer respite #i got back the other day and I'm doing better #but my mental health isn't 100% #and my chronic pain has been fluctuating a lot cause of stress #i know i don't owe anyone details about what i go through #but i like being transparent #and this makes it easier than answering 6-10 anons asking me for an update #i am not sure when im gonna fulfill drabble requests but they'll come when they come #and you can keep sending in stuff i dont mind it at all #just know i gotta take care of me right now #and I'll be slower answering stuff #take care of your mental health and bodies the best you can #im always rooting for ya #and to end on a good note #i got accepted into a masters program for clinical counseling and therapy #only 25 people could get in and somehow i got it #idk how im gonna get financial aid for it but im gonna try #im excited and nervous #i might have more vo stuff coming too idk yet but im trying not to do too much at once #if yall could do me a solid and drop something cool in the comments and let me know how your life is going id love that #especially if you got good news to share #i could use more of that right now #love you guys and here's a hug and a biscuit from me

[spacefoxy-irl]

Thank you everyone for being so lovely towards me. I have not ignored everyone's messages, I just had to take a little distance for a while. We good now, I think. 🧡

#oversharing in the tags #this and last year has been kicking my butt not gonna lie #I have been noticing a slight decline in my mental health #so since the rona stopped the world 3 years ago - my therapy appointments were ended because of budget cuts etc. you know typical bs #and at first I thought huh this isn't so bad. I think I can manage just fine without #but lately... I'm not so sure. #the sucky thing is I gotta re-apply for all that stuff... I was declined once already so I don't have high hopes #that I guess explains why I've been a bit volatile lately with my emotions being all over the place #the lows have been really low lemme tell ya #I'm my own worst enemy and dealing with my lifelong self loathing is really hard sometimes but I keep trying to move forward.

[bye-bye-firefly]

i said this to my friends like. i have Lost nano. as i said at the start i do not ever plan to lose ... But we cannot All be winners... but despite this im still like i did a REALLY good job. im sure everyone knows about how inconsistent my writing is like when i put out chapters and when theyre done and everything but its like 41k in a month is nothing to look over like thats really good for me. even on a good day im not writing the fucking 3k that i wrote once or the 2k i wrote at the start. i DO want to try and keep writing everyday because it wasnt the writing everyday that fucked me, it was real life shit and the holidays and work and friends and blah blah blah there is stuff OUTSIDE of writing that i have to do. i have Obligations. AND im a human person who likes to do things other than make money and write; i like playing video games and hanging out with my friends and if i dont have that socialisation time then its like. Rover

like this was REALLY great i felt like id gone back to my early days of fic writing and writing everyday like i did on propaganda and actually having like ideas and just writing and progressing the story I LOVE WRITING!!! i didnt need to be reminded how much i love writing but i did have to be reminded just how much i can DO. because sometimes you just have to sit down and say I'm going to write today and THATS IT. for some people thats harder unless theyre medicated but for me i do think i could force myself to just sit down and write. but im not writing 10k in one sitting LMAO that would burn me out and then we'd NEVER get the chapters of nameless im working on.

BUT I AM PROUD OF MYSELF. like i failed and i had fun doing it AND i have 41k words of my novel down! so one day thats going to exist and im happy with the state that everything is in right now ^_^ but i think during december as i get my work hours in im going to start time blocking and then in january, ill have to do that in both my journal and in my calendar. im actually really excited about it and i hope that if i make it a habit to set that time up for myself, i'll actually Follow Through and Do It. and then we might get consistent updates like i used to do And wouldn't that be beautiful ...

but yeah!!! im really happy about my novel and will set up time for it in my calendar when im not so super tired of writing it because thats all ive been writing this month 😭

#fae winning nano #but yeah genuinely i had a fuckton of fun doing this and ill do it next year and MAYBE even the little mini stuff they have in like. #june? july? they have other months that you can participate that ive heard about but never seen as much as The Main Event #but i know that like considering my mental health it would be better for me to change my goal for anything in the summer #because seasonal depression. ya know .... #also. sidenote. for the people still reading the tags #nameless update MAYYYBEEEE soon ...i was looking it over again and i have clicked everything into place. i was not confident a month ago #but now? oh. expect something in two weeks AT THE LATEST.

[moistbread]

so sorry! hunter noceda au update will be a bit late this week- i’ve been busy with summer school and stuff lately

also expect a format change. for my own convenience.

anyways heres eda

#me prioritising my mental health and not becoming a workaholic :) character development #might still post other art i need to draw stuff other than this comic so i wont burn out ya know #hunter noceda au

[noxiatoxia]

ok second hikakao ask imagine they get cocky and decide to go to super far places (like different countries) for university because they are "adults" and a month in they fly back "for the weekend" bc neither cant take the seperation

OH FOR SURE. Kaoru decides to go to america and hikaru stays back home. they think it'll be good for them (well, kaoru does) but only 2 weeks in Kaoru rushes back to Japan bc he CANNOT TAKE IT so many new things none of his friends are there his BROTHER isnt there......it's hell. he has to go home :( he decides to enroll back in Japan bc "it's easier" <- knows he cannot handle living alone just yet

#;noxiatalks2ya #PLUS with his mental health stuff...it's for the best he has a nearby support network ya know #hikakao #ohshc

[caacti]

hi sweet peas! little life update in the tags :)

#soooo it's been like... three years? #i am a sophomore at umich! woot woot! #astrophysics major ;) its so fucking hard but i love it #finally finally finally going on medication for depression which is leading to what i'm doing back on this website #so my mental health has just been sharply declining for the past however many years #and i've lost so many of my interests my hobbies stuff like that #art being one of those #(back on tumblr for .3 minutes and instantly oversharing... ah yes #and i just am aiming to do two things with this #1. have social media that i have a healthy relationship with- ie not instagram #i like the layout of tumblr and just the freedom to post and reblog whatever ya feel! #2. start sharing art again and thus start making art again #which i hope will have a positive effect on my health and everything becauseeee i am at the end of my rope #obviously medication will be the main factor in any changes #but i know i desperately need some lifestyle changes independently of that as well #so yes! not to ramble much further or anything #but hopefully i will be sticking around this time #mwah

[mis-calculated]

Welcome to Mental Breakdown March how may I help you today?

#im sorry this is The Only Outlet I Have for bad thoughts in order to not disintegrate feel free to ignore #the paralyzing depression/anxiety/frustration/hurt thoughts are increasing at an exponential rate this month and i dont know why #i feel like one of the managers at work is trying to take control and push me out from having any input about work stuff #and it feels like its because im a stupid student worker which to basically any adult at this university means i just dont know anything #or care #and am always just actively trying to get away with doing nothing on the clock #and the changes she keeps making are reverting back to what stuff was like when i started #which was ridiculously inefficient to the people that ya know #actually do the work?? #and idk it just adds onto my already paralyzing burnout/amxiety/hopelessness thoughts #and at times work has felt like pretty much the only substantial purpose i have in anything im doing in my life? #but because of this its rapidly diminishing #god im just so fucking sick of being unvalued #truthfully i genuinky need like a few months off of work for my mental health #but the reality of being poor and having shit family and no support system is that if i dont work i dont eat or have a room to my self 🙃 #and my cost of living is only gonna skyrocket from student debt for the degree i am not mentally fit enough to be in the career path for #idk what to do #very fun existence im having at the moment #rambles

[blissfali]

Girl so fuckin eepy but wants to stay up and watch horror movies and also has school tomorrow and life is hell for girl.7000000000 dead no one is happy

#Itsfunny bc.i only have normal life problems now and not mental health threatening bullshit #but the problem is #I Know how to deal with the latter stuff #but with the regular stuff.Like what am i supposed to do with this #Ya know? #Yeah you dont.Imt alking to the guy in the tags #Ok i need to eat something fr or im just gonnas go crazy

[angelumcaedis]

despite not having a clear defining term for my gender fuckery, I am still so much happier having done the introspection and self-analysis that comes along with questioning gender. and I think that everyone should have the opportunity and safe space to do that self-analysis without others constantly scrutinizing how they identify and present.

#self analysis is so important yall #like I think questioning my gender also helped me with mental health shit #just really sitting down and looking at it all and being like who am I and who do I want to be #anyway I don’t think you have to have a label or be sure to benefit from just. questioning #and I may always be in gender limbo #but that’s ok #existence is a constant state of change #ride the waves ya know #lgbtqa+ #queer stuff

SERIES MASTERLIST

Gilded Constellations | (wolfstar x reader)

Summary: You meet Sirius and Regulus at a family vacation in the Caribbean, but things don't go as planned and you end up losing contact once the trip is over. Years later your family moves to England and you get accepted at Hogwarts where you finally meet Sirius once again, along with all of his friends. One of them with a mysterious secret, that you'll uncover as you embark on your own Hogwarts adventure. Mostly canon-compliant. This IS a wolfstar x reader fic, but it's incredibly slow burn.

A/N: Most Poly!Marauders fics are oneshots, where the relationship between characters is already established, and they're all happy and pleased with it. No issues, no drama, but I WANTED the drama. Couldn't find it, so I set myself up to write the story behind the stablished relationship. I wanted to know how they started dating each other, the jealousy, the will they won't they, because getting into a poly relationship can't be an easy task, and I wanted to explore that story. If you're interested: Welcome to Gilded Constellations!

i updated anym again

ps: i started this fic so long ago my writing style has totally changed (for the better) and it's such an obvious change that when i reread older chaps, i get whiplash lol

#it's a small little adashi chapter but... it needed to happen #lol my mental health just does not let me write my vld stuff sometimes. #idk what's wrong with me. #i MEAN a lot #but specifically w writing my vld fics #i've been churning out shit for another fandom but... #sigh #and it's not that i don't love kl anymore bc i do #i wouldn't be here if i didn't ya know #it's just Hard #diary
