coworker told me that our manager has (a few times) previously gone to her when im not at work/left before them and asked why i was in a bad mood
WHAT bad mood 😭 i told my coworker sometimes im just too tired to be cheery and keep up a smile and she said she just assumed i was stressed because of my schedule but that ive never externalized any anger or anything
am i not allowed to be tired?? is my tired state so different from whatever mask i typically wear that im perceived as angry??
#this is so.....i try so hard to appear Nice and Polite and i guess when im tired and i cant bring myself to make conversation or really big#expressions i look annoyed or angry?? i try to monitor my tone though so even if i am giving shorter responses they dont sound clipped#is it not working??? HELP

"came back wrong" you could not come back wrong even if you tried. you've changed, beyond recognition, but while my eyes may not know you, my heart still does. i love you.

i hope that in 2025 u get to take more walks, read more books, connect with more people whom u love and who love u, achieve ur goals (even if ur goals are having no goals and just living in the moment), exercise fun hobbies, move from a place of self-direction, and weave together a beguiling assortment of beautiful little moments. remember that no feeling lasts forever. love u

cw: weight, body image
trying to figure out what a healthy/baseline weight is for me is so odd. it's been up and down for years due to mental health and medication so i dont even know where id 'naturally' sit? if that's even a thing??
also trying not to tie self-confidence to it is. hmmm
#putting shit in the tags too ---------------------------------->#for context: lost like 15 lbs from not eating or sleeping and being constantly stressed for like a year. objectively bad.#brought me back to my weight pre-lexapro. but i also hadnt weighed that much since freshman year of college when i was essentially a child#cut to now and it's been a year of a new job + grad school + 6 months of no wellbutrin (which may have assisted in weight loss)#and im back to pre shitty job weight#i dont really think the wellbutrin was doing anything for me anymore so i dont have a reason to go back on it. also havent seen a doctor in#a hot minute.....#theres no point to this i just dont want to have this convo irl rn. weird feelings of shame and embarassment for not being consistent in#anything. i also have been avoiding the scale for months because i dont need to worry about weight. i could tell id gained some but ive bee#nonstop in school and work and havent been exercising or cooking for myself (two things i genuinely enjoy!!)

[gripping the sink] perfectionism does not help me avoid embarrassment or shame. perfectionism is in itself a form of shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame

Being a flop changed my life. The world is not my oyster, I am glowing. I walked into a pole this morning. There's very little I wouldn't do for $1,000

A major pattern I've noticed in my depression is that the less I do, the less I do. It's a downward cyclical thing. I feel better when I make myself be productive (not Productive(tm) just like, taking a walk, tidying things around my house, going out). I feel worse when I sit and do nothing but scroll on my phone. But the more I sit and do nothing, the harder it gets to do anything. I've been trying to break the habit with a more structured routine where I take a walk every morning (even when I don't feel like it) just to get myself moving for the day, and it really helps.

I feel like ODD being an official disorder in the DSM should be the thing that makes everyone go “hm” about how psychology is practiced

#it has fully seeped into offline language#got told 'oh right! cause you were a lab girlie' in conversation the other day when i was bringing up my old job#dude just say 'you used to work in a medical lab'#a lab girlie....what is that#just say lab technologist that was my title :))))#pointlessly gendered. annoying. and like weirdly cutesifies the position
