but they don't care about the burnout. everyone is burnt out, they tell me. who isn't burnt out!

the good news is they don't say depression is a choice as much anymore, but the symptoms for burn out and depression are so hand-in-hand that they are mirror images of each other. but depression is serious. you're not depressed, you're just whiny. they barely change the script - don't be lazy! burn out is for people with real problems. burn out can be resolved with some fun candles and a day off work. burn out only happens in adults - no kid can be burnt out, after all; they've barely even had a life to live!

do you have a roof over your head and a steady job? you're not burnt out. so what if every night you wake up with a panic attack frothing inside your chest. you're lucky your problems are small. get back into plants or into yoga. shut up about it.

rich people get burnt out and go to fancy places. they get burnt out in their fancy offices with their real-people problems. they get burnt out and hire an assistant to help them never burn out again. you don't have the money to burn out. you don't have the two weeks to recover in a local spa. the job you come back to will still be stressful and hard.

you find yourself often wondering - does nobody remember about the pandemic? it seems almost like a joke or a punchline. being burnt-out was okay "during" the pandemic. now that people are back to ignoring covid, burnout is just-an-excuse again.

you google how to know if it's seasonal affective disorder or burnout. you google how to know if it's anxiety or it's burnout from working. you google how to know if my depression is back or i'm burning out badly.

coming back from burnout just leaves you covered in ashes, not new growth. you struggle to get back basics, and then - you're just supposed to get back up and keep going. every day the amount of tasks you are able to do seems to dwindle even further - where does the time go? why is everything moving so-fast-and-yet-so-slow?

my therapist and i were talking about how many people had latent mental illnesses that were triggered by the pandemic. how depression can be environmental and situational. i am annoyingly logic-driven about my own recovery - i like to be sure i'm working on the "right" thing. i tell her i feel like i'm lying. that it just might be burnout, and i need to stop complaining. she asks me what words come to mind when i think of burning.

oh, i guess i see.

we casually ignore the violence of being left empty.

#employers for 2 weeks during the pandemic: we know it's gonna be so so hard and we're here for you #week 3 day 1: now that we have been nice to you fucking get over it you weakling #do not worry this is not me romantically recalling the ''we're here for u'' overhead announcements #this is the opposite #side note #the new options to post????????? huh #gonna go write something VERY gay just to test it #(eventually. i skipped my meds by accident today so im nowhere)

okay it's been a while since i read this part so maybe i'm misremembering but. did batman 400ish to 430ish not go like this:

dick: gets shot

bruce: oh my god what was i thinking i can't be putting him in danger like this.

bruce: you can't be robin anymore

dick: okay, i'm going to move to a more dangerous city and do vigilante work without backup

bruce: sounds good, i'm proud of you son.

later...

bruce: i'm going to make an even younger kid robin.

jason: dies.

bruce: what tragedy! i did not see this coming!

#okay i know bruce is all like “i shouldve known better”#and “jason's going to get himself killed!”#but clearly he wasn't That Worried #also you know those telltale “[name] will remember that” things?#this is the OPPOSITE #like i know it wasn't really bruce's choice to take on tim but.#STILL #anyways tags:#bruce wayne #batman #dick grayson #nightwing #jason todd #red hood #posts afflicted with a strange sickness #red's bat problem

fun fact: i can't listen to slowed down songs without feeling sick, it makes me feel like I'm going to pass out. not in a light headed way or whatever, it literally makes me feel like I've just lost too much blood. i feel like my body is too heavy, and I'm hot and all weird.( basically that's how it feels when i orgasm way too much or too hard.) it fucks with my head real bad. the opposite happens if i listen to music that's too fast, i feel like I'm going too fast on a ride or in a car and I'm in shock and my nerves are fried, or i get way too happy.

#text #nsft mention #music is...very powerful over me #lightheaded to me means i feel all floaty and shit #this is the opposite

went outside to ADHD spiral in the sunshine at least and I was sitting there happily eating a snack until remembered that there was a woody allen movie where we're supposed to judge mia farrow for getting head from liam neeson....

#this is not self care #this is the opposite #going to try desk yoga next....#send prayers

Ship trope I'd love to see more of: "Are we in love? I mean, yeah, probably, but that's a problem for future us. Right now we're just trying to make it through the Plot."

this whole oceangate submarine fiasco has actually led to a lot of interesting talks and debates about the grey area of human empathy vs the inclination to recoil at the bizarre behaviors of the ultra wealthy and how people struggle with both ideas and is actually very interesting to watch play out in different types of people

#like some people are on polar opposite sides where they have no empathy for the passengers and have moved on #while others are in tears over the likely death of these people #well everyone else in the middle is struggling compartmentalizing both at once in their minds #yes for this wondering I do have submarine fever this is the most fascinating thing that’s happened in a long time #oceangate #titanic

Sorry, but having Zuko actually fight back against Ozai during their Agni Kai is just wrong. He was a child, only 13 at the time, afraid to fight his own father and was mutilated as punishment, because Ozai saw Zuko's begging and unwillingness to fight as unforgiveable weakness.
