What really sucks is when you know you should be doing something but physically/mentally cannot bring yourself to do it no matter how important doing that thing is.

gentle reminder that crying is actually one of the best things you can do to relieve all that tension and emotion in your brain, and not to resist the impulse because it's 'weak' or 'unnecessary' or 'a plea for attention.' if you need to cry, do it, even if you don't always know the reason. your body does.

A friend once told me that when they are struggling with getting laundry done, she pretends it is her sworn duty to smuggle the young prince out of the castle to safety, disguised in a laundry hamper.

Now, when I am struggling with hygiene, I pretend I am part of a village with an annual festival, and I get one day a year to spend luxuriously at a bathhouse in preparation.

What my friend imparted on me was the skill of turning mundane tasks into fantastical adventures to make them more compelling and bearable.

So next time you need to go on a mental health walk, maybe consider doing reconnaissance for a secret underground organisation.

Next time cooking is too much of a chore, consider you ability to turn space station rations into a feast to the delight of your crewmates.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but mental health is real. Burnout is real. I'm going through it right now and it is HARD. It is so hard to function, to take care of yourself and do your basic household chores, to feed yourself and make sure you're getting enough sleep, to go to work with the expectation that you will be 100% mentally present, all the while your brain is giving you constant pushback and background noise and judging you by how little you're actually able to contribute because you've got all of these other ongoing problems living rent free in your head, and it's so loud and so mentally exhausting that you can't solve any of them. And I want you to know that it does not make you any less of an adult if you have to ask for help during times like this, or to express that you need accommodations so that you can recover from whatever is exhausting your brain so much that 👏🏻 you 👏🏻 cannot 👏🏻 function. And I get it, it's hard to admit things like this because you certainly don't want to put anyone out, but bb, if you don't speak up, you're going to reach a breaking point, and no one wants to see someone they love get so bad that they end up hospitalized. So please speak up.

Mental illness is real, and it does not make you any less of a person to admit that you are struggling.

Guys! Is it just me who noticed a lot of Loki fans are Good Omens fans as well? And the other way around too. Like we're in for double suffering or something, idk (i love both myself). So let me just see this in a poll:

So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
