put oil in your hair, use that expensive lipstick you’ve been saving up for special occasions, take a hot shower with a bunch of candles, smother yourself in lovely smelling lotion, play your favorite game, go see a movie with your favorite people, or stay in today and do nothing.  Do whatever it takes for you to feel nice today, okay? You deserve it.

he is like a girl mutual to me

having another day where my stress levels are just. out of fucking control. i don't even remember what time i went to bed but i was called at 7 am because my brother wanted medicine and said he was in pain. i'm just feeling so fucking trapped and in a weird position where i feel like i can't ask for help because he's relying on me so much. and i'm missing my mom again but currently i think i'm resenting her more than i'm missing her. it's just rage and pain boiling over. i'm trying to sit with it. praying that it'll pass. but any fucking boundary i set is being mowed over and i'm being wrung dry. dealing with him is so exhausting and triggering for me because he's really similar to my mom in the sense that they're like. a fucking blackhole when it comes to being self-obsessed. nothing else ever fucking matters as long as they get their way. she made him ill. she tried to make me ill. not even in a physical sense, but emotionally and mentally. she wanted to stunt my growth and preserve me like a specimen of some kind, i think.

i'm trying my hardest to be happy and healthy when i haven't been that in a really long time. but i just keep taking hits. i had to euthanise one of my dogs because she suddenly went lame and i'm already taking care of a lame human being and there were just no other options. so that smaller sized chunk of grief made everything topple over like a set of dominoes. and i guess i'm just freaking the fuck out because i'm gonna blink and the anniversary of her death is going to be here. i'm so angry. i'm so fucking angry. my brother minimized my pain in a way that really threw me off because it reminded me of my mom so much. the way she would make me feel smaller than a speck of dirt.

sometimes all the things i lived through with her feels like a far off and really awful dream now that i'm on the other side of it. and what people don't understand is that she wasn't always awful. when you call someone a narcissistic or say they're abusive, people automatically clutch their pearls bc they're not used to ppl being characterized that way in polite society and there's no nuance or grey area to it. it's terrible. but i'm glad she's dead and i know that's a really polarizing emotion/thought to express for people. i can miss the good parts of her and feel relief at the fact that she's gone and not making me miserable anymore and feel triggered by grief or behavior that reminds me of her. i don't understand how all of these feelings can coexist at once either, but they do.

wish i could call in bitchy to work

Cant stop thinking about this comment under a video about stardew valley rabbits foot drops

i had to put my dog down last sunday because she suddenly went lame in her hind legs and her health just started rapidly deteroriating. complete loss of mobility, incontinence, and since i'm already taking care of a whole disabled human. i think it was the right call. but i'm still really broken up about it and it's sent me into a tailspin, depression-wise and grief-wise.
