“nothing Tastes As Good As Skinny Feels”

i think one of the most depressing things about having severe mental illness is that i spend so much of my life observing, but not participating. i watch people get better jobs, join clubs, make other friends, go on outings, and cultivate hobbies. and what do i do exactly?

i rot in bed and scroll online even though i don’t actually like the internet that much. i’m too scared to leave the house regularly because i feel unsightly. i have no pictures of myself to look back on, and nothing that really marks the passage of time except which classes i’m taking that semester.

i wish i had a completely new brain.

And also, this goes for every species. [thing that a lot of animals commonly eat] would propably kill us too. Humans are jist egocentrical.

"Isn't it weird that [thing humans commonly eat] is poisonous to literally every domesticated animal" I mean, there's a pretty good chance that [thing humans commonly eat] is at least mildly poisonous to humans, too. One of our quirks as a species is that we think our food is bland if it doesn't have enough poison in it.

This one got me good 🤣

The CGI in this series was truly amazing and way before its time. The only movie i can think of that has better CGI is Avatar the way of water!

this has probably been pointed out before but I was rewatching dmc and I noticed davy jones uses his tentacles to keep his hat on when the ship goes underwater

and that's such a neat detail idk

lol my best friend is that way. She actually commented about it when she started uni. All her friends, like ALL of them are trans, nonbinary and gay. We're all expecting her coming out tbh lol

This is so true. I had a REALLY bad phone addiction & was unable to watch TV at all. Now i can watch multiple 45 min star trek episodes (they're low stimulation to me) in a row without it feeling boring or exhausting. We have to train our brains.

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free

lmao me

I was being attacked by a giant stag beetle and my cousin (who is a biologist irl) kept telling me cool facts about it instead of helping.
