Having subjective symptoms is very isolating because there is no way for others to witness what you're going through. They just have to trust you and you have to trust them to believe you. I know everyone in my life believes it, but they don't get it. I expressed to my therapist that I feel that all of these symptoms begin rattling around in my head and it creates a barrier between me and others.
My world: hurting, trying not to show it, coping with pain, fearful, etc
Their world: normal, uneventful, happy evening
It's very difficult to have something happening to you that nobody else can see.

~ HOSPITAL / ER ROOM AU ~ WRITING PROMPTS
Tumblr media
requested by: anonymous
Feel free to use and reblog!
OTP meets accidentally at the hospital because they both accompanied someone else there
A has to stay in the hospital & doesn't want B to leave because they're scared
"It's gonna be alright. I'm sure the doctor will be here in a minute."
waking up in a hospital bed & not knowing how they got there
"Hey, look at me! Stay with me! No, no, don't close your eyes!"
B is panicking much more than A who got committed to the hospital
"It doesn't look too bad, right?"
B is trying to distract A when they need to get an IV because A hates needles
"Do you hear me?"
A, who actually works at the hospital, turns out to be a lousy patient
"Deep breathing."
B is getting mad waiting in the hallway and imagining countless scenarios of what might be wrong with A
"I told you, you need to take more care of yourself."
B wants to be there for A but they can't see blood
"Is it broken?"
B offers to bring A some stuff if they have to stay overnight
"Your partner can stay if you like." "Oh, they're not... actually, that would be nice."
B is stroking over A's brow
"You scared the shit out of me!"
"Do you need anything?"
A refuses to stay at the hospital because they're 'not sick'
"Everything's fine! Leave me alone!"
"Why won't you let anyone help you?"
getting dizzy from all the countless examinations and tests
having a medical/health-related secret
trying to be strong for everyone
"You're what?" "... pregnant..."
"It's just a checkup. You can go home." "You came here with the ambulance. This is no checkup. Now stop downplaying it!"
being excited to get a cast everyone can sign
"Stop fussing!"
B feels guilty because they have been arguing right before A got committed to the hospital
"Don't leave me!"
seeing how uncertain everything is in life, they realise they have to confess their feelings
"I won't spoil you just because you have been so careless to injure yourself."
B neglects their own needs as they stay by A's bedside continuously
B can't stop holding A's hand
"You're very brave."
B kisses A's bandaid
"Does it still hurt?"
"Don't worry! We'll make sure you'll get better very soon."

Negative Effects Headcanons
Here are a mere few of the various ways you can magically suffer in Minecraft.
Slowness — Disorientation and lack of coordination. Causes the individual to feel woozy and off balance, and their joints may lock up. Makes you feel heavier than you really are, and slows down your reaction speed. In high doses, can function as a tranquilizer. Overdoses can cause the afflicted to have difficulty swallowing, and can cause permanent paralysis.
Weakness — Light-headedness, difficulty breathing and tremors. The afflicted will begin to tremble uncontrollably and experience shortness of breath. Blood will not coagulate properly, and will flow freely in critical amounts from small injuries, causing severe blood loss. Can cause severe joint pain, headaches and even loss of consciousness in high doses.
Bad Omen — A strong, foul odor, and heightened paranoia. Small lapis lazuli crystals injected into a pillager captain’s blood enter your own through your pores, and you can be monitored and hunted down, like a tracked animal. It also causes a milder version of the mania that lapis-insertion causes, due to the soul reacting with the magic mineral.
Poison — Coughing, nausea and vomiting. Severe stomach pain and itching. In higher potencies, can cause migraines and hallucinations with lasting delirium.
Harming — Chemical burns, spasms and excruciating pain. The label doesn’t lie. Works like a very potent acid, but can only dissolve biological material. Can sear through layers and layers of body matter, even dissolving bone. When drunken, this will kill you in five painful, painful minutes. Weapons or tools are dunked in a non-lethal dilution of this frightful substance to be used as torture instruments, as well as brands.
Withering — Radiation poisoning but worse. Causes rapid growth of discolored, tumor-like material on the point of entry. Causes organ failure, confusion, vomiting and hair loss, as well as rapid atrophy of muscles and soft tissues (like eyes). Afflicted’s skin may bruise and blacken around the wound, and at the point of death they may be unrecognizable. Survivors of the effect will be permanently disabled, and may need amputation of afflicted area so the effect does not continue at a later date.
Hunger — Insatiable hunger (no way, really?) and indigestion. Any food eaten will come right back out. While the physical symptoms of starvation are not present, the brain is tricked into thinking it is starving, and the afflicted may act irrational and salivate heavily.
Bad Luck — A feeling of despondency and frustration. Causes depression and anxiety, and may cause the afflicted to feel uncharacteristically under-the-weather.
Darkness — Hallucinogen released by the sculk shrieker that causes blindness and eye irritation, as well as disorientation. Meant to cause prey to stumble about and make as much noise as possible so it reveals its location.
Levitation — Floating (obviously), a feeling of weightlessness, and a sinking sensation in the stomach felt as if you’re falling. Also, subsequent injuries causes from hitting the ground rapidly.

Hi all,
I'll keep this short, since I know this isn't a blog people come to for sad times, but I thought I should at least mention what's up.
My stepdad died this past week after a long illness. I don't especially want to get into all of it here, but obviously it's had an effect on posting and will do so for a while.
I don't know when I'll feel like making stuff for the blog; some days I might want to, and others I might not. Right now, I'm not really feeling it.
Thank you for understanding.

very sorry you don't love yourself enough to accept your body the way it is. I hope you slowly learn that there's nothing wrong with feeling awkward and uncomfortable and sad in one's body and that the best thing to do is not to medically hash it into pieces but to learn that it's okay to be a woman. sending love.
hi boyfriend here, you should kill yourself like. now. like and post it cuz you deserve it. I hope you get rectal cancer and die. ♥️

Tumblr media
JULIAN'S VOICE ALMOST SURPRISES HIM. It shouldn't --- he is in the doctor's quarters, after all. Different to his quarters on DS9, but very Julian all the same. He's stood by the wardrobe, rifling through it for something warm, when Julian wakes. He's left Essan nestled against a chair arm in the other room after feeding him using Julian's replicator, so Garak faces Julian alone when he turns towards the bed.
ONE COULD SAY SOMETHING WENT TERRIBLY WRONG. Lots of things, actually. For one, Garak has accidentally adopted a child at the least convenient time possible. "Hello, Doctor." He's holding one of the thicker items of clothing from Julian's wardrobe. "I do apologise for the intrusion." It's so good to see him again. To see him asleep had been lovely enough, but to see him wide-eyed and blinking up at him... oh, he's as beautiful as Garak remembers. His dear doctor. He'd like to reach out for him now, take one warm human hand in his own, but he's not here for his own benefit. "You are... correct."
AT LEAST, TO SOME EXTENT. Rather than explaining verbally, he turns and makes his way back to the sofa, where he left Essan. Two empty plates --- both scraped clean by Garak on behalf of himself and the hungry child --- sit nearby on the table. A small Cardassian boy, perhaps four years old, is curled half-asleep on Julian's sofa. Like Garak, he looks less than healthy, though he additionally sports a feverish glassiness to his eyes, and has his little legs drawn up to his chest in what could be fear, pain, or discomfort. Garak wraps him in the jumper he's holding and lifts him into his arms. As soon as he's moved, Essan makes a small, upset-sounding noise, and presses his face into Garak's shoulder. "I'm sorry," Garak tells him softly as he turns to see whether Julian has followed him. "Doctor? I have a patient for you."

Whumptober Day 2: Delirium
Read it on Ao3
- Time, Twilight, & Wild
- Summary: Time comes down with an illness and takes a turn for the worse
CW for delirium, illness and fever, mentions of holding a character down (no one actually gets held down), and a character getting punched
—————————-
Twilight sighs as he tugs the blanket a little higher over Time’s shoulder. The older hero shudders, teeth clacking together so hard it’s audible. When the rancher presses a hand to his head, it’s dangerously warm. He pulls away, lips set in a grim line.
“How’s he doing?” Comes Wild’s hushed voice from where he sits by the fire.
Twilight shakes his head. “No better. I think he’s getting worse.”
He sighs again, pressing his fingertips to his temples.
“There’s no need to fuss over me,” Time had assured the two of them only that morning. “I’m alright. It’s likely a cold, nothing more.”
And though his voice had sounded a bit hoarse and he was a little paler than usual, besides that he had seemed like his normal self. So, Twilight had taken him at his word.
…and had had to watch as his condition steadily declined throughout the day. He had tried to make more rest stops and urged the old man to drink during every one. Wild had even offered him a potion, though he had refused it. But their efforts hadn’t been enough. By the time they had found a good stopping place for the night, Time’s gaze had been bleary and unfocused, skin clammy and pale, steps stumbling and heavy.
When Twilight had pulled out his bed mat and ordered him to lie down before he could collapse, his attempts at arguing had fallen pathetically flat. And it hadn’t taken much convincing to get him to let the rancher guide him over to his bed mat. After that, he had swallowed the potion Wild had given him without much complaint.
Since then, he has been sleeping, though restlessly. And with each passing hour, Twilight’s worry has only grown.
Time shifts now, mumbling something about protecting cows and fighting off aliens. Another series of shivers run through him.
Twilight gnaws his lip for a moment, then looks over his shoulder at Wild.
“Hey, do we have any spare rags? I need something cool to put on his head.”
“Yeah, hold on.”
Wild searches in his pouch for a moment, then with a triumphant sound produces a small, worn cloth. Rising, he walks to the nearby stream. When he returns, the cloth is sopping wet with chilled water.
“Thanks,” Twilight says, taking it from him. Gently brushing Time’s hair back, he lays it over his forehead.
The hero shudders at the cool touch and his eye flutters open.
“What…” His gaze flits about the clearing, taking in everything but seeing nothing. “Is-is it time?”
Twilight exchanges an uneasy glance with Wild. Time for what, he isn’t certain. But he shakes his head anyway.
“No, not yet, old man. Go back to sleep.”
Time looks at him, his expression almost pleading. “Why…it-it’s so cold.”
He brings up a hand to pull weakly at the cloth. Twilight grasps his wrist before he can manage to fling it off. Carefully, he guides his hand back down to his side.
“You’ve got a fever. That’s gonna help us break it. So, just leave it there, alright?”
“No, I don’t want to,” Time slurs, stubbornly reaching for it again. “I’s too cold. And it’s wet.”
With an effort, Twilight suppresses a sigh. Little had he thought that caring for his mentor would ever be like caring for the village children.
“Here!” Wild shows up by his side with a bowl of stew in hand. Twilight hadn’t even realized that he had left. “I made dinner. This’ll warm you up!”
With a look of gratitude, Twilight takes the bowl from him. “Yeah, how about you have something to eat? It’ll help you get your strength back too.”
Though Time still looks less than pleased with the whole situation, the promise of warmth seems enough to convince him. He allows them to sit him up and spoon the food into his mouth, swallowing each bite dutifully. But even after he has eaten, he seems little improved. Shivers still rip through his body, his skin is hot to the touch, and he hardly seems aware of what is happening around him.
There is nothing more they can do, however, so Twilight helps him lie back down. Within moments, his eye slides shut and he is asleep once more.
-----------
Twilight volunteers to take the first watch. Wild needs his rest after the difficult day they have endured. Besides, he wants to keep a close eye on his mentor. So, he settles down beneath the shade of a tree a short distance away. And he waits for morning.
The moon is still high in the sky when he hears it. Someone is moving about behind him. The telltale clank of armor plates reaches his ears and he whips around, sword in hand. But there is no monster there. The sight that greets him, however, doesn’t calm him one bit.
Time is sitting upright on a nearby log, trembling fingers working to pull on his gauntlets. His abandoned bed mat lies not far away, masked by a heap of tangled blankets.
Twilight sheaths his sword with a sigh. He had worried something like this might happen. The old man’s fever is dangerously high, after all. But he had dared hope it would break before the inevitable occurred.
“Hey, old man,” he says, gently, and Time’s head jerks upward.
Even in the dim light of the dying fire, his cheeks look flushed, his face pallid. His gaze is as glossy as ever, yet when it meets Twilight’s the intensity of it is almost enough to make him pause.
“He’s coming,” he croaks, in a voice so hoarse Twilight cringes. His throat must be on fire right now.
He takes another step toward him, careful to keep his movements slow.
“Who’s coming?”
Time’s expression hardens further. A shiver tears through him with such intensity that his gauntlet slips from his fingertips and hits the ground. He retrieves it with a growl of frustration.
“Have to prepare…”
“For what?”
“Not what–who.”
Twilight swallows. “Okay, then, who?”
A short way away Wild stirs. With a groan he sits up, rubbing at his bleary eyes.
“What’s goin’ on Twi?”
At the sound of his voice, Time leaps to his feet, looking wildly about the clearing. Twilight rushes forward to catch him before he topples. The older hero tries to shove him off, but he holds on.
“Whoa, take it easy,” he says, patting his arm. “That’s just Wild.”
Time drags in a breath that rattles in his lungs. He looks down at Twilight, an almost crazed look in his eye.
“You must run – both of you. He-he’s coming! I’ll only be able to ho-hold him off for s-so long and…”
He trails off as his words dissolve in a hacking cough.
Wild is on his feet now, fear in his eyes.
“Potion,” Twilight mouths and he nods. Immediately, he ducks down and begins rifling through his pouch.
Twilight turns back to Time, who is still wavering in his grasp. “Whoever it is, we’ll get him, okay? Now, how about you just sit down? You can’t defeat him if you’re flat on your face.”
As gently as possible he pushes Time back onto the log, even as the older hero tries to wrench himself out of his grip. Twilight can feel the panic building steadily within him like water boiling in a kettle. If he can just get him to settle down before it grows out of control…
“You can’t–” The old man gasps, breathless and trembling. “Twi..Twilight…I have to…No!” 
Abruptly, he reels back. Before Twilight can react, a fist collides with his face. The rancher stumbles. His grasp slips. With surprising speed, Time lunges for his sword.
“Ganondorf is coming!”
The fear is blatantly visible on his face now, terror audible in his voice. Twilight freezes, hand stopping halfway through its journey to touch his newly bruised cheek.
He’s not the only one with the arm strength of a moblin, apparently.
“Sweet Ordona…”
Time whirls and the rancher is forced to leap out of the way of his sword’s reach.
“Have to get the sages, have to save Zelda…” He takes a stumbling step forward. A particularly violent shudder races through him and the weapon slips from his grip to land with a dull thump on the earthen ground. “Get to the castle….can’t lose this time–all going to die…what a terrible fate…”
Twilight ducks down and snatches Time’s claymore before he can reach for it again. At that moment, Wild scrambles up to his side.
“Here!” He grabs the sword and presses a potion into Twilight’s hands instead. “Lemme get this out of reach and I’ll come help you hold him down.”
Twilight nods. He clenches his hand around the bottle, forcing an inhale through his nose. Time’s words have cut him straight to the core and left him winded and shaky. Never before has he seen the old man this vulnerable, this scared. It just isn’t right, to see his mentor gaze at him like a child seeking refuge from the monsters that stalk the night.
…a child with the world on his small shoulders.
“Time.” His voice trembles the slightest bit and he clears his throat. “I need you to trust me.”
Time freezes before him, teeth chattering, breath coming on haggard half-gasps. He crosses his arms tightly over his chest.
“N-no.” He shakes his head. “Only have three days. The clock resets — e-everything’s over. Have to sta…start again and I can’t…please don’t make me.”
He’s speaking pure nonsense now — at least Twilight desperately hopes that’s what this is — but it’s enough to shatter his heart. What nightmares has the hero endured to inspire a plea like this? What secrets haunt him?
…what regrets? 
“Twi,” Wild says from beside him and Twilight forces himself to inhale the breath he had been holding.
“We won’t make you start again,” he says, quietly. “I promise.” Carefully, he holds out the bottle. “But we need you to drink this. It…it will give you strength for the battle.”
The lie tastes ashen in his mouth. He has no other choice though. It’s either this or pin the old man to the ground and by Hylia, he doesn’t want it to come to that.
Time’s eye flits between the proffered bottle and the two heroes in front of him. He shudders again, stumbling a bit.
Twilight dares to take a slow step forward. “Trust us.”
“We only want to help,” Wild chimes in, though his voice is unusually quiet. “You don’t have to fight anyone alone.”
For a long moment, Time merely gazes at them, resigned exhaustion and terror warring across his face. Twilight holds his breath.
And then, slowly, he reaches out. Grasping the bottle, he tips it back. No sooner has he downed the crimson liquid than the tension bleeds from his shoulders. The bottle slips from his hand at the same time that he slumps bonelessly forward.
Twilight is just in time to catch him.

HARD-TO-FIND HURT / COMFORT ACTION PROMPTS.
a selection of some of my favorite underrepresented situations and actions for one of my favorite tropes! feel free to add + REVERSE to any of the prompts to change the situation and provide context as necessary. do not add to this list.  
CRADLE : sender picks up the injured / unconscious receiver and holds them close to their chest, carrying them to safety. 
GUARDIAN : facing down a threat, sender pushes receiver back with an arm, moving to stand in front of them and protecting them with their own body.
TENDER : receiver wakes up to sender caressing them gently; a hand carding through their hair, brushing hair off their forehead, a hand on their cheek, a thumb swiping under their eye.
SHELTER : seeing a threat barreling toward them (such as a storm, the shockwave from an explosion, or a building they’re in collapsing), sender holds the injured / incapacitated receiver close, turning their back to the threat to bear the brunt of the impact instead of the receiver.
FLICKER : sender thinks they’re too late to save receiver and begins to mourn them / sinks in defeat and grief, holding them close, only to find through a simple action (a cough, a twitch of a hand, a murmured word) that they haven’t left them after all. 
DELIRIUM : receiver wakes up to sender’s relief, only for receiver to not believe it’s really sender (that they’re imagining sender or that they don’t think sender would come for them) or that they’re finally safe. 
CONCEAL : both muses have been injured or have fallen ill, though sender keeps their injury / illness secret in favor of taking care of receiver. however, as receiver gets better, sender’s injury / illness worsens from lack of care, and they wind up collapsing, their injury / illness fully revealed. 
GUIDE : sender has been injured, but their skills are needed to help with the muses’ current situation (an escape plan, tending a wound, or diffusing a weapon, for example). sender has to walk receiver through the procedure, all the while trying to stay conscious. 
SAVIOR : receiver is at the mercy of a threat, and all seems lost, only for sender to suddenly burst in and come to their rescue, bearing weapons and all the protective spirit they can muster, to the relief / confusion / anger of receiver. 
LAST RESORT : injured / sick and alone after an encounter with a threat or a run-in with a dangerous situation, sender finds themself at receiver’s door, coming to them because they have nowhere else to go.

The Grand A-Z List of Whump 1/3
This list contains ~290 items listed A to H
As always, I heavily encourage people to research topics thoroughly when writing. Whump is generally a 'dead dove' sort of topic, however it is important to avoid stereotypes/misinformation. This lists intention is to not glorify/romanticise sensitive topics in any way.

All submissions are listed in italics, and those who wanted to be tagged will be included at the end. If you have any more submissions: please send them via DM/my ask box.
