A T who accepts that some days I can't be bothered, I'm not interested, and I have things to do.

don't know and don't care what this song means. i need more of this sound in my life. more. and more.

i focus on the intellectual until i can almost feel it. i debrief with every positive interaction. i look at probability, consistency. and i remind myself that i deserve good things, including relationships - even simple relationships, like 'this is someone i game with.'

You can get through this. One moment at a time. Diagnosis is frightening, but look for the positive: now that we know, we can do something about it, we can set a treatment strategy for the future. One moment at a time. You got this.

Next time you freeze, practice wiggling your toes and fingers. Practice it ahead of time, too - just spend time wiggling toes or fingers so it's something you're accustomed to. If we can get even one part of the brain to function during stress, it can lead to other parts of the brain...

You are the center of your life. Your happiness matters. Dissolving an abusive relationship isn't cruel or selfish. When my mother died, I cut off all ties with my father. There's no positive outcome in that relationship so it's not worth the effort. No regrets. One can be courteous and...

Support, and sadness, and glad she's okay, and more support.

Humans are a communal species. We feel distressed after prolonged lack of company. It's a survival mechanism. Loneliness is a lot easier to deal with if we accept that it's natural, like pain, or sneezing; it's not abnormal, it's not a weakness, it's just an unpleasant alert. Rather than...

grateful for a supporter that'll spend a few minutes taking care of me when i'm sick and in pain.

Premade diet and nutrient shakes are loaded with sugars. Just loaded. Like, "drinking a quart of corn syrup" loaded. Blood sugar problems can cause all sorts of bodily symptoms, including pain. Consider making your own shakes: - it's easy - it's cheap (way cheaper than packaged diet...

Rebellion is an act of taking control and re-establishing agency. So don't do things because Other People Say You MUST. Do everything for you. Only you. Their opinions don't mean shit. Only yours. Do. What. You. Choose. It doesn't sound like a rebellion until you put in practice. See...

Vertigo. somehow i missed it in my Old Movie phase. Midnight Occult Civil Servants: an anime series. You'll never guess what it's about.

i practice non-engagement - the same techniques used for managing work stress; you don't think about work at home because it does nothing to solve your problems. I just practice not thinking, and have an easy route to 'mindfulness' at the drop of a hat. as for the fear itself - the closest i...

hah. read this a few hours ago and anxiously decided not to post. what i find interesting is the genetic commonality with other disorders (which i also have). ptsd is frequently co-morbid with other psychiatric conditions; genetics may indicate why.

almost forgot Great British Bake Off. finding it is difficult, though.

Sometimes. It's called "magical thinking." Several disorders share it, including OCD. my solution: "Mindfulness", rational thought, and medication.

Supporter introduced me to "The Good Wife." Emotional content is relatively low-key, stories are thoughtful. typically i watch anime. my feelgood anime is "Aria" - the daily stories of apprentice gondoliers on Mars. It is mellow. It is mellowness wrapped in marshmallow, served with a merlot.

avoid anyone who insists on referring to you with diminutives - typically ends ending in "ie" or "y": - baby - cutie - honey etc. words define people and situations. if someone insists on defining you with a diminutive before getting to know you, it suggests they've already decided what...

Consider a second "hobby" with less rigorously defined products. For a long while I studied Carolingian masculine costume for the purpose of accurate reconstruction, and only stopped when rudimentary task management began to fail. Social and intellectual opportunities were modest, but...

i prefer the middle approach: hide but acknowledge it, and take a small step to reclaim agency. i fold socks sometimes. tactile actions work better for me.
