re:44 reminds me of a post I saw the other day that said "sick people should have a right to congregate and discuss our illness without worrying about doing it in a way that doesn't upset the healthy people, it shouldn't be shameful or offensive to be visibly ill""
also i lol'd at the surviving the thriving reference man I was told to read that book a few months ago and while it was eye opening in some regards it was exceptionally unhelpful in others and I found myself overall wishing I had skipped it and read psychomagic instead
@ocrevol I really enjoy the quote you shared and I agree with it wholeheartedly. I feel like I've been hurting lately, not entirely feeling there's an acceptable place to be visibly ill-- but that may be more self-imposed than anything, I'm not sure though.
And, hah, I forgot that was the title of the book. I have it on a shelf and wanted to get back to it, actually. I feel "going from surviving to thriving" has become a sort of colloquial phrase and is expected of us, otherwise we're doing life wrong. I did find Pete Walker's '13 Steps for Managing Flashbacks' on his website to be insightful, so I hope to find good stuff in the book. Not in the mood to read it rn tho
very much understand the hide impulse but I do enjoy reading your Me
thank you :,) it's much appreciated
Had a lot of fun reading through your word collection and testing how they felt spoken.
Delighted to hear that :3 thank you for commenting, @wanillaberry
My goal in life is to be everyone's cool lesbian auntie (something something japanese twitter)
Also, one of the things I had to really teach myself when i was planning my site was: if I don't write about me, who will?
Thank you, Tina :) I'm going to remember that for the future. You've eased my mind some.
