"Wow, I don't know what OP was smoking, but I want some of that 😜"
Oh, bless your soul. This is my brain not on drugs.

It's past three in the morning. It is far too quiet.
At times like this I listen to one of my favorite songs from my childhood.

When I was young 🎼🎵
I liked sad songs when I was in a dark place, to feel like someone else in the world understands me.
Now, I can't stand listening to songs that echo the thoughts in my head too closely.
I know the brain weasels are lying. And I don't want to give them any outside validation.

My brain did a cool trick? i'm in a pretty precarious situation with my job and it's likely to get worse. and my brain went "being scared and wretched won't make the bad thing not happen, so fuck it, we're gonna at least be in a good mood while bullshit is happening."
I feel fine? I can tell there's a thread of catastrophizing in there somewhere but it keeps getting swatted down like
c: i'm gonna get fucking evicted
?: You can probably negotiate to end your lease early if you have to.
c: i'm gonna be homeless, i'm gonna lose everything
?: People who love you won't let that happen, have a little faith.
c: even if someone lets me crash on their couch, i'll fail at getting back on my feet and they'll get sick of me
?: You've literally never failed at this, especially when you have a little breathing room.
c: but it's gonna suck, i'm gonna collapse, i can't do it
?: If you can't do it, kicking yourself won't make you able to do it. If you collapse, that means you needed help. Help is available.
c: nobody can help! too broken!
?: Whole things can be made from broken and you know this.
c: things that are easy for others are almost impossibly difficult for me, there's no fixing that
?: Great, this means that what others perceive as a small favor will land like a miracle for you.
c: ...shouldn't i be panicking a little?
?: That's allowed, but not required. Might as well not tire yourself out.
And so on. No idea how this happened. This is so unfamiliar, I'm slightly concerned that I might be possessed by like... a really sensible demon.

One of the things that suck about not being able to identify what you're feeling is not being able to judge the severity of a situation.
i kid you not I've had to research the signs of a nervous breakdown to be like ' oh, so the icky feelings were not just a passing thing that would go away if I ignored it enough, huh.'
And then try to imagine bringing this to a doctor and them asking how long it has been going on and you don't even have an answer because your baseline of existence is low-level discomfort and you're basically a living boiling frog metaphor.

Hooooooo boy have I got a depressive episode on the horizon. I can feel it juuuust creeping up. I want to write about how the BG3 companions would help when you’re having an episode but ironically I am too meh to do it. Maybe when it passes, or maybe when I’m inevitably awake at 3am in the pit of misery and find sudden inspiration.
(I kind of feel like Gale would want to help but also kind of suck at it because… he would do everything he could but get frustrated because the person he loves just isn’t fixable? He would try not to show the frustration but it would hurt him that he couldn’t make it all go away)

The specific Mental Illness of feeling like I’m Not Allowed to do things I objectively Can Do; I am an adult and have control of my own life and choices.

I go t the christmas blues or maybe i'm tired. or meybe it's the brain fog. there's just not too much to do or it's too much to do.maybe a walk would help. i want to make a christmas card but i can't bring myself to- and there's clay at perfect softness.
does anyone want to see a bowl with feetsies. deer hooves? maybe i should make something. or go for a walk. but i don't have time for both cause i'm- in night shift. and i need to sleep in 3 hours to not fall asleep then

Things therapists are good for: helping you identify that yes, you were in fact scared by the actual tree nearly getting blown through your window by the storm last week.
Fucking survival response, man, it's good for what it does but it hits "pause" on emotions really hard.

This week has been rough, NGL. I'm doing a lot of work on lower brain chatter, which has always been my downfall, so I'm going to try and turn some of the frowns upside down, or whatever. My therapist says I'm s'posed to and she never said I couldn't do it on Tumblr!
I haven't written enough this week is now I have written 4,979 words this week, and that is a lot more than zero.
Work is stressing me out is now Capitalism is a hellscape but at least I like the people I work with and they trust me enough to handle important things
Fandom is stressing me out is now Hey how lucky am I that I can curate my experience and if I'm finding things are making me unhappy, I can mute/block/disengage
General ED brainweasels are a melange of That's not true, that's just a story your brain tells itself, that's just a habit, you are doing exactly enough
Ugh I'm so tired is Being tired is not a moral failing. Obviously, there's a reason, so go take a nap.

The nature of the brain weasels is such that if someone asks me what I'm good at or what my good qualities are, I honestly couldn't tell them; however, if someone named a flaw, no matter how outlandish, I could probably twist my brain into figuring out a way for that flaw to apply to me.
Stupid brain weasels.

Today I looked in the mirror at my face. It's always something that throws me off, just a little bit.

So I did a little experiment today by accidentally forgetting the location of my ADHD meds and not having them to fill this week's pill containers.
It's funny, because they always warn me that my meds can cause increased anxiety, which, you know, is sort of a problem when you live with PTSD. That said, I've never really noticed a huge uptick in anxiety while taking them, so yay. FINALLY, a side-effect that doesn't fuck me over!
Yeah, anyway, just sitting here doing my week/month planning lists and realized that even though I have a totally do-able amount of work for the time I have to accomplish it, I was on the verge of panic even thinking about it. Trying to organize it into a list, trying to decide which to do first, etc. were pushing me closer to a panic attack than I've felt in quite some time.
Take the pills, Reesa. Sincerely, Your Brain
