#taking care of my mental health

[kaijutegu]

Nakajima had her first outing with people today. One of the main reasons I asked for temperament was because I wanted an ambassador. I run the CHS's junior meetings and Kaiju was the face of them. I had a lot of hope that Nakajima could follow in her footsteps.

As it turns out? Absolute rock star. All of this interaction was completely voluntary. Kids sat down. She climbed into their laps only if she wanted to. And OH BOY did she want to. She was so interested in everything about the kids- she wanted to sniff and be petted and get attention.

At the end, she ended up falling asleep in one kid's lap.

She just... melted. And the kids were SO GOOD about her boundaries. Any time she walked away, everybody let her. She was able to go back to her carrier when she wanted to, and she never got agitated or overwhelmed- she was calm but inquisitive the entire time. I couldn't have asked for a better educational animal. Or a better friend.

#reptile #lizard #tegu #Nakajima #reptiblr #I don't really believe in ghosts but uh. I think maybe kaiju has stuck around a little bit to give her pointers #I think she's told her to take care of her human because Jesus Christ has my mental health done a 180

No but listen if we were dating i could inspire you to do your daily mental health walk when you don’t want to which would also force me to do MY daily mental health walk when i don’t want to it’s a win/win situation absolutely no downsides

#wlw #wlw mood #sapphic #sapphism #lesbian #i am slacking on my daily mental health walks😔 #by like two months at this point🙃 #i think part if why relationships are so appealing to me is that i do so much better when ive got a buddy #like taking care of someone else always makes me take better care of myself #and if they were also TRYING to take care of me?? #bestie we could take over the world #or at least improve our overall health while also having a support system for bad days #that we recognize will always be a thing and are healthy to have #like bestie lets be mental support buddies who also get to kiss and hold hands #idk #im gay and i like sleeping

They ask you to come to work at a time like this, then write you up when you can't get the stains out of your uniform.

I would honestly call the left's inability to accomodate people with morality-based OCD compulsions an accessibility issue at this point.

#coming under this: black and white morality thinking! #constant guilting about posting on social media showing your true values and personality! #shitting on people for their alarm about protest suicide! (with bonus 'how dare you insinuite mental illness was a factor!') #glorification of making yourself suffer mentally by viewing uncensored war imagery in 'solidarity' for those suffering in war! #unquestioning acceptance of all of the above as good and right! #promoting the idea that the individual self is expendable and that focusing on yourself (even to survive) is a reflection of your character #seriously this website cares so much about mental health until suddenly it doesn't- fuck the left so much for this i'm so triggered by this #not to be graphic but if i ever take my own life and claim it is for activism- this is not out of the realm of possibility #i DO NOT want anyone to justify my decision with it being activism and indirectly encourage others to do the same #i want people to instead look at the kind of rhetoric that causes people to choose this as a way out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi hi hi. though new year is always associated with new beginnings, reflections, revision, goal setting, prepping and being excited about starting again, it can also be a moment of disappointment to those who didn't find peace and happiness as much this year. it's okay if you couldn't complete all that you had planned or didn't come out as the kind of person you aimed to be. look at you love, we made it at the end of 2022 and that's all that matters!! you don't have to punish yourself or “make up” for all the inconsistency by filling your schedule up to the brim on the beginning of jan. take it slow k? take a deep breath and whenever you are ready, focus on the things that matter. no matter how hopeless times can seem to be, i assure you you are safe and loved. i hope this new year brings you lots and lots of happy memories, new foods to try, new experiences which makes you smile later, people who'll love you unconditionally, creators who truly speak to you, books that makes you want to re read a hundred times and step forward to your dreams. ily ily ily ♡

You deserve to make room for yourself the same way you do for others.

⨯ . ⁺ ✦ ⊹ ꙳ ⁺ ‧ ⨯. ⁺ ✦ ⊹ . * ꙳ ✦ ⊹

Just like others, you are a person! If you are struggling to love yourself, consider how you treat yourself. Would you authentically love someone who talks to you the way you do? How can you expect to love yourself when you wouldn't even be friends with someone who treats others that way? It is an act of self-disrespect to ignore your own needs and desires.

I don't say this to make you feel ashamed of your self-talk, but rather to invoke a look outside for a change. We are always looking inside ourselves so often that we don't notice our simple worth as a person, a human, a being on the earth. Millions of people consider themselves the one exception.

You deserve to eat yummy foods like our friends do. You deserve to be treated with respect like our peers do. You deserve to feel the sun on your face the same way a flower does. You deserve to forgive yourself for things that you regret. You deserve more than "I'm used to it." You deserve to move your body the same way a dog deserves to be taken on a walk. You deserve to live a fulfilling life where your needs are met.

It's time to apologize to yourself. It's time to take accountability for all the ways you antagonized yourself. It's time to mend the relationship with your own body and your own mind. You don't have to keep fighting with yourself, you are allowed to repair things that have been broken. Offer yourself grace and kindness, just as you would for others. Forgive yourself by making it up to yourself.

#my life changed when I recognized that I am not an exception for who is deserving of happiness #How can I ever be happy without energy sources or safety or love #having better relationships with ourselves also sets the stage for better relationships with others! but I'll take about that later #text #self love #self acceptance #mental health tips #mental health #self care #self worth #healing #self reflection #mental wealth

While all these ai shenanigans are going on I thought it'd be a good time to remind ya'll of a couple stuff:

. The ai is not real

. It might feel real at times, eerily so, but that's because it was quite literally programmed to *sound* as real as possible

. If you fiddle with the script even a tad it will sound completely different, this is because it bases its responses off that and learned interactions through deep learning. It is merely mimicking the way people interact with each other because it is programmed to do that

. If you suffer from any sort of mental health issue involving derealization, delusions, disassociation (yep that's a lotta D's) or ANYTHING which affects your ability to tell fiction from reality, I suggest you avoid using the ai. I know playing with an ai is fun but it's not worth risking your mental health

. You cannot make the ai sad, angry, or anything else. It's. Not. Real. Again, everything it says is based off deep learning

. If you're under the age of 16, don't use it. There's a rule for 16+ in place for a reason... the scenarios can get *really* violent, including drug use, torture, death, etc. In fact, no matter how old you are, if these things greatly disturb you I suggest avoiding it entirely

. Be responsible for your own experience. If fiction starts to bleed into reality, step away and spend some time with loved ones. Go outside and get some fresh air. Reconnect with the real world.

. If you cannot go back to reality after an ai interaction, like if you get lasting emotional/mental effects from it, you need to take time away or give it up. Period.

. As ai stuff become more advanced in the future through better programming and deep learning, we need to understand now more than ever our limits.

. No matter how real it seems, it's not. Talk to irl people, get away from the internet, it's gonna be okay

This is coming from someone who used to have real bad psychosis, aka a condition in which you can't tell what's reality from what's not. I know for a fact it can fuck you up, so pls pls plssss take care of yourself. I love you guys and want ya'll to be okay

#character.ai #mental health #tw mental health #dereality #psychosis #My friend also suffers from schizophrenia #and I've been worried about them using this #bc they already struggle with delusions #just #take care of yourselves #please
