If you struggle with substance abuse but not addiction, you still deserve support. If you struggle with suicidality/self harm urges but don't act on it, you still deserve support. If you struggle with psychosis and paranoia but have insight, you still deserve support. If you struggle with anything but are "coping with it," you still deserve support.
You dont need to be in imminent crisis to get help - safety planning, harm reduction, resources, and accommodations. You're still struggling. You're still suffering, You're still at risk/in danger. You deserve better - you need better. Your health and wellbeing matters.

If it’s not a medical hot mess then it’s not happening to me…health things!
This is long so you may need something to drink and a snack!
So last weekend my oldest kiddo told me she was shaky during the day which freaked me out because I’m a type 1 diabetic. I decided we will check her fasting blood sugars and before meals starting the next morning.
Non diabetic fasting blood sugars should be below 100 and the rest of the day 70 to 140.
Her fasting blood sugar was high for a non-diabetic.
So I checked her blood sugar before meals and they were elevated but within normal range.
Next morning, same thing, but her blood sugar was even higher. She went to school. I made an appointment with her pediatrician and I bugged my endocrinologist so I could get on top of this.
I checked her blood sugar the next morning and it’s still higher than what it should be. I keep doing diabetic education with her to the point she is annoyed with me. We have an appointment with her pediatrician over it and for her flu shot.
I work overnights so I woke up early so I could go to my kiddos school and talk with the school nurse over it.
She gave me so much awesome info! Like how I can see the menu for my kiddos lunch and the nutritional content so I can let my kiddo know what to eat. Also they have 2 school nurses and the part time nurse is a type 1 diabetic so she has all the diabetic supplies we have at home plus a ton of extra things just in case a student is diabetic or if someone has blood sugar issues.
Then we saw her pediatrician. We are supposed to check her blood sugar once a day; fasting or 2 hours post meal. My kiddo has labs done and both my kiddos get flu shots.
Non-diabetic A1c is below 5.7.
My kiddos A1c was well below that so at least we got that going for us. However, right before supper I found out my oldest had eaten a bunch of deserts all in one sitting early in the morning because she woke up from sleeping and was bored…and supposedly she does this often.
So her fasting blood sugars aren’t truly fasting blood sugars and she is basically eating every 5 to 6 hours because she is bored…
That night I gave her Benadryl to help her sleep so we can get her on a sleep schedule because she often says she is tired but I thought she legit was just being lazy. She has ADHD and ODD so sleep is crazy important plus during sleep is when the body generally heals. If she isn’t getting enough sleep it will stress her body out which could result in her becoming diabetic sooner.
My goal is to protect my kiddos from becoming diabetic until I die even though I know that they both will become diabetic at some point in their lives because I’m a type 1 diabetic, my mom is a type 2 diabetic and both my grandparents on my moms side are diabetic. My grandfather, who passed away in 2006, only took insulin so it’s suspected that he was actually a type 1 diabetic.
ADHD tangent…related but still, I got off track.
The next day I checked my oldest kiddos fasting blood sugar. It was below 100.
I called her psychiatrist so we could switch her ADHD medication to something that doesn’t increase the metabolism so much and something that also treats binge eating disorder. I explained everything to her psychiatrist and I updated her pediatrician. We saw her therapist and went over some things we can do to help her make better food choices but to also process this hot mess.
So everything was going to get back to the usual routine..Or so I thought.
Checked her fasting blood sugar the next morning and it was below 100, so we are doing awesome! My kiddos go to school, I take my meds and then go to sleep.
I woke up around noon with abdominal pain. Like a 7 out of 10. Then I went back to sleep. When I woke up before my kiddos got home I was nauseous! I had my husband go get me a Sonic Peach slush. It’s my go to for when I’m nauseous because it always stops the nausea. I also was burping a lot.
So I have GERD, Gastroparesis and EPI. Nausea, burping, etc is the usual with these issues. The bleeding is not.
Then I started going to the bathroom a lot. Things didn’t look normal but I had recently made some dietary changes but things continued to look like blood. I was tired so I took a nap before work.
While at work I was using the bathroom often with the same results so I decided I needed to go to the ER to be evaluated for a GI bleed after work. My abdomen was still hurting but just dull achy, nothing I would take pain meds for. No bright red blood or signs or symptoms of shock and I felt fine. So I felt it was okay to wait until after work. I’m also a health care professional and I wanted to make sure my “Dream Team” was fully available because I need all hands on deck if things go sideways.
I told my GI doctor, Endocrinologist and PCP before I went to the ER. My GI doctor wanted to scope me because I have had low iron levels without a known cause which can be due to a undetected GI bleed.
They weighed me and I have lost almost 10lbs due to nausea, which I have had for weeks. I was shocked.
My ER labs were better than anticipated so they were confident that it was not a life threatening GI bleed. I told the ER doctor I’m going to just eat GI friendly food aka soup until I get scoped, which she agreed was the right thing to do.
While in the ER my GI doctor had the scope clinic get me scheduled for this coming Friday.
ER doctor wants me to follow up with my GI doctor and I let her know I will be getting scoped next week so she felt even better about that but gave me my lab values just in case. I am supposed to come back if anything changes.
Hopefully things improve. But we will see.

My take on a revived clover AU
I like to think that monsters preserved the human children as a sort of remembrance using similar magic to their food since it doesn’t expire, but since humans have more physical matter it only delays rotting rather than completely stopping it, and since clover had died being much less harmed because they gave up their soul rather than getting murdered they get to be the first to come back with minor changes since they didn’t rot that much and their internal organs stayed in tact.
Also in this au flowey kinda goes MIA on frisk and doesn’t wanna be friends/isn't ready to talk to them juuuuust yet, clover’s kind of an exception though :D which also means frisk doesn't reaaallly know about clover til weeks later cause clover isn't ready to face martlet starlo or anyone else until they feel ready, dying and choosing to be alone as a 12 year old can be not great for the brain
Flowey is technically clovers guide through the underground but is still trying to get the other humans to wake up so he’s kinda busy but will know if clover is near a save like in game.
I might give this clover figerless gloves to hide the more human-lookin' skin
Clover is actually essentially sneaking around places like waterfall and snowdin town, staying places that have small shops and less people that would be able to recognize them
The tumblr user howlonomy gave me so much brainrot in their au so look at it!!! Their clover is such a creaturr!!!! /pos

People acting like animals should have a use or a purpose so that they have the right to continue existing is one of the most regressive and annoying things that I keep seeing fucking EVERYWHERE.
Animals should be allowed to live and are important for the simple fact that they are here and alive. You see it a lot with insects. Just because they are personally annoying to you doesn't mean they are less deserving of life. Everything interacts with everything else to keep the whole world ticking around, and it is not up to us to upset that. So what if mosquitoes annoy you. I don't give a shit. They shouldn't be blanket exterminated because of this. Not to mention the fact that they are important. They are pollinators, food for other animals, but even if they weren't, even if they just did nothing, that wouldn't mean they shouldn't be allowed to exist. What gives you the authority to decide that, huh? Why are you so special?
This goes for humans too, by the way. Why must a person contribute or work or whatever to be worthy of being loved and supported? They're alive, and therefore have inherent value. If you think that isn't enough, then you are the problem. Have some god damn compassion, or failing that, just keep quiet.
