    I despise authority... and other issues come with it...

    I find it helpful to remember that I'm not 'obeying.' I will not 'obey.' I will work with someone who has superior skills, knowledge and/or experience, for the sake of the project (job / social event / my case file). It usually manifests in me asking a lot of questions before I do something...

    What did you do today to work towards emotional regulation?

    Coffee. Mild stimulant, and... I like coffee. good coffee is an inexpensive luxury, something that never fails to make me feel a little better. Coffee-time, every day, twice a day.

    Saving the world

    If I dreamt that, it would be because I have a strong 'protect everyone' urge coupled with suicidal ideation; everyone's life is important except mine. just another phantasm.

    I can't sleep. what helps you get rest?

    Awesome :) Johnny Dollar is my all-time favorite. Just funny enough, just dark enough. Truth: last night I slept... oh, three hours. Bad night. But I don't dread sleep, because there's always radio plays to fall back on. even when i can't sleep it takes some of the stress away.

    I can't sleep. what helps you get rest?

    i preach old-time radio shows from the internet archive. put on a radio play, turn the volume very low, and relax. if it lulls ye to sleep: win. if ye end up listening to radio plays for a few hours: also a win. it gets one back into the habit of being in bed and not being stressed about it.

    What's your favorite game?

    Dungeons & Dragons. some of the other tabletop rpgs also fascinate, but D&D is always top. Used it to engage trauma, explore possibilities, socialize in an structured setting. There's something wonderful about shared story-telling.

    Must rest/sleep?

    sleep is essential for both physical and psychological health. sleep is not wasted time - it is time when the body flips to 'cellular regeneration' mode, and the nervous system refreshes the various neurochemicals we rely on to function at peak efficiency. six to eight hours of sleep is not...
