#not a suggestion
[Hey everyone, sorry I’ve been kind of inactive. I’m not ignoring your questions. I’m just not really equipped to give any answers right now. I’m hoping I’ll be able to answer all of them in a couple weeks. Thank you.]
Still relevant. There’s a reason I’ve been so inactive. Please try to understand.
concept: me, engaging emotionally and understanding what’s happening. I know who I am and nothing seems far away
concept: seeking treatment for distressing thoughts and symptoms instead of making them relatable posts on the Internet.
Boi I go to therapy and take medication for my disorders, my therapist has a link to my blog and supports me verbalizing my symptoms with a community of people whose experiences are often very hard to describe/remember. Don’t act like you know anything about me, maybe you should seek help for Narcissism™ because you clearly think everyone else’s lives and choices are your business.
I’m glad you are seeking treatment, because people still avoid due to the stigma. The mental illness section of tumblr is filled with inaccurate and easily relatable “symptoms” posts, and teens trying to find ways to differentiate themselves with self diagnosis’ based off those posts. Sure there is likely a smaller community of people with dissociation/derealization disorders that find comfort in your posts, but there’s also people who believe they have every disorder they read about.
PS: Someone with Narcissism Personality Disorder would not give a damn about anyone beside themselves.
You’re not trying to help anybody dude, you’re just angry about things that you don’t understand, and you’ll attack anyone for saying anything vaguely unsettling to you, even though you have no idea what that person’s situation is and have no right to give them your advice about things that you’re essentially just
/assuming/ about their situation. If you honestly think what you’re saying to these people who are probably in a fragile mental state already, is helpful to them, I can honestly tell you that you’re wrong and the kind of things you’re saying to these people does way more harm than good.

You know when your mind gets all intensely static and your heart starts to hurt and you’re like, ‘this is how I die’? That’s me rn.

Alright friends, i’m kicking myself back into gear. Again. We’ll see how long this lasts.
i’ll be queuing up the posts we’ve got drafted already and i’ll leave the queue at 2 posts a day until those are done posting. After that, we’ll probably switch to 1 post a day until we really get back into things, and maybe we’ll change it back later. Requests are still closed until we can chew through some of those, sorry! And sorry for disappearing again. Things got a bit hectic for me so i didn’t have time to dedicate to this blog, but (hopefully) i should be able to now! Thanks everyone for your continued support!

hey I’ve started IOP and I’m in the processs of moving out + things with Traumaland are really progressing so I’ve been kinda neglecting this blog, but I’m going to start matching up PALS again today, but as I am pretty swamped, I’m afraid I’m going to have to cap the submissions, until I have a better hold of things.

Flight/flight/freeze response
probably not a new idea but i’ve been having a tough time lately and i’ve only got therapy appointments sporadically and it’d be nice to have a pal to confide in specifically for these kinds of things and can confide in me, and i figured others probably feel the same way.
so i created this survey form to match people with a pal:
https://goo.gl/forms/lnuGPUA2JCjVfres1
tldr; if you want someone to talk to when you’re having a tough day and they can talk to you fill out the survey above !
i’ve started matching people but i’ll keep responses open indefinitely! if you haven’t been matched yet it’s probably because i’m waiting for the perfect match but i’ll find you a match by the end of the week x
if you’re matched up with someone you don’t click with, don’t worry, just shoot me an ask and i’ll find you someone else.
if someone acts inappropriately (harassment, personal attacks, homophobic, racist, ableist, transphobic, etc) report them to me and i’ll remove them from the database.
