If you’re born in a cubicle and grow up in a corridor, and work in a cell, and vacation in a crowded sun-room, then coming up into the open with nothing but sky over you might just give you a nervous breakdown.

Isaac Asimov, Foundation, Volume 3

nervous breakdown, anxiety attack, and/or flashback emojis? /nf

i want to go back to being a baby when crying all day was considered normal and not a "psychiatric meltdown"

Veep s03e07: “Dan had a nervous collapse. Amy's taking him to the hospital.”

She remembered the day they met, and the way he had looked at her, and how it had filled her with a mad ecstasy, which in retrospect had been a nervous breakdown.

I made a thing everyone! Totally posted out of order tho, since this was my first one. Whoops, oh well... But this time I included one of my favorite characters that I never seem to draw! XR, Robot Ranger!!

I love out of context comic panels. They give me life. Expect more in the future. If there are any you know about or want to see, you can send them my way

please stop wasting all my thoughts

I've had a really bad couple of weeks. Idk if it's the current state of the world, fear of the future, grieving the past, the shitty weather, worsening ADHD, hormones or all of the above, but I have been completely useless at work and literally just spend all my waking hours scrolling Tumblr or watching shows. My sleep consistency has also tanked--I'm pulling all nighters just to nap a couple hours in the morning before starting work late and my cortisol levels are probably through the roof. I know in my heart, body, and desire for job security that this is unsustainable, but I can't stop

everything tragic now makes me laugh. nothing is even shocking anymore. yes, of course this would happen. of course it makes sense for nothing to make sense. yay. I haven't removed the birthday streamers yet. it's been a week but you know I like everything sparkly. at the end of the day we all need a place warm and safe for our hearts. you ask me where mine is and I tell you I've kept it on the moon. distant, resting. it will come back to me someday. but for now it's safe there because as I am now, I am a disaster waiting to happen. mentally crumbling on a daily basis. I forsee a nervous breakdown by the third quarter of this year. how are we preparing for that? by sending away our heart. but what about my mind? sadly, it has no escape.

“One of the symptoms of approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important, and that to take a holiday would bring all kinds of disaster. If I were a medical man, I should prescribe a holiday to any patient who considered his work important.” ― Bertrand Russell, The Conquest of Happiness
