Just popping head in to say.

I Ate'nt Dead

Just still recovering from surgery and going from one exhausting hyper fixation rabbit hole to the next.

Figuring out PC parts and what to buy not easy.

Neither is setting fire to a former key part of your life that decided continuing to cause harm is better actually than admitting they did wrong and make changes.

I'm tired, but life keeps happening.

So yeah. Not dead, don't worry. But also, someone send help. Or at least a box full of spoons. I'm going to need them.

#random musings #sometimes life do be like that #but sometimes happens a lot

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

Ma'am/Sir/Other

So much of your blog is "Yaya another thing in my body broke (kill me)"

I'm not judging at all, cause I'm also dealing with that somewhat but,

In the most polite manner possible;

How the fuck do you manage to function without killing everyone around you in a bodily pain induced rage.

Body hurts too much.

But in all seriousness, therapy and a whole lot of radical acceptance.

I don't approve or like what’s happening to me, but realistically, there is no way to avoid it, so I either have to accept it and make changes to my life or reject it and increase my suffering.

It might take me a while to process this change and there might be a few screaming breakdowns in the interim (”it's not fair, it's not fair, it's not fair!”) but after a long time of doing this type of therapy, I’ve gotten good at holding my own hand and holding myself through the despair.

It’s a bit like being my own gentle parent. Like “hey bud, I know this sucks and you’re feeling a lot of big emotions right now. And I’m not asking you to stop feeling them, but I do need you to eat and drink before you get sick, okay? Okay, you’ve had some water, do you want to try for a shower? No? Okay, let’s go back to bed for a bit. We’ll try later... Cry it out if you need to. I’ve got you.”

Probably sounds bonkers to some people but it's the only reason I’m still alive.

My support network is wonderful and they do so much to keep me going, but it wasn't until I allowed myself to feel my emotions and self soothe through them that things got better.

I can’t change what has been done to me. I can’t change the dynamic nature of my disabilities or the fact that parts of my body will continue to break down. But I can accept myself and say, this is the way things are: react accordingly for our continued survival.

Radical acceptance isn’t about approval or giving up. It's a stress tolerance skill that lets you look at some of the worst parts of your life and go “fuck this sucks. Okay, how do I make this suck less?” and then following through on it.

It's a skill that takes a long time to build. But it's well worth investing in.

#I am still very much working on this process #although I'm further along than I realised #which I learned in the middle of having an anxiety over post op shenanigans #but I think this is very very important to reblog and share #both for those who need it and for those who don't #because it's one thing to accept ourselves but other people also need to stop treating it like “giving up”#acceptance is not giving up #it's going ok this is reality and I rather fix things based on reality than keep falling based on idle dreams and hopes and head in sand
