people be like “nicoooo why don’t you ever check your messages why don’t you ever text in the group chatttt why are you never onlineeeee” brother if i could delete the messages app off my phone i would. i would rather die than open the 125 notification message chain and you know it. yes my phone is on do not disturb for 75% of the day and that ain’t changing any time soon
#texting gives me so much anxiety i hate it#like. imagine just going about your life in your home. keeping to yourself doing your thing#and then a person just spawns in your room#and goes “have you seen the new episode?? let’s talk about it right now!! why aren’t you responding to me rn”#LIKE. i am not PREPARED. i am in my HOME. this is my SAFE COCOON#no i am not BUSY per se. but i am not in a social setting and thus am not immediately prepared to be social#FIVE PEOPLE SPAWN IN MY ROOM THEY ARE ALL TALKING OVER EACH OTHER AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT#i would. rather die#i message people like i’m sending letters tbh. they will be offline and i dump smth and then leave#and then they reply whenever they want and i reply whenever i want and the world is beautiful and bright#and maybe sometimes we will catch each other and maybe sometimes we won’t. and that’s okay#and we cannot expect each other to have the same fucking schedule where we’re both online at the same time#to respond to everyone’s texts live. and if you start demanding i turn off do not disturb im turning it on for another hour#jokes. but seriously we all have lives and i hate texting people xoxo#textpost#i’m being a salty little hater rn because i’m annoyed but i respect those of you who like to text#and sometimes yes it is like a fun little surprise to open my phone to text messages#on days where i’m not overwhelmed#okay thank you goodnight

#having one of those days where i’m really really sad about how everything has turned out#i love being a mom and ive always wanted to be a mom my kid is more than anything i could’ve even dreamed of#but its really hard and overwhelming to do everything pretty much on my own#i know i’m doing okay given the circumstances and i truly try to be the best version of myself for N#but sometimes it does make me sad to be doing this alone which feels very complicated to me lol

Lolll uh no progress update today (daily streak is broken 💀) ‘cause I had much going on and then got distracted by some awesome people who I was grateful to have my time taken up by 🫡 We will get back to it tomorrow yahoo!
#thwwichphantomthief#ooohh interesting sort of dynamic happening right now#in the sense that my writing has taken me into more spaces in the fandom#which subsequently takes up the time I’d normally use for writing#which I mean to me it’s not a bad thing lmao cuz I’m really really enjoying getting to know more people here#just crazy to think this started with me just… writing a thing and posting it on ao3#especially since the first chapter was the result of a sudden burst of inspiration and literally only a few days from start to publish#I had barely any idea of what it would be at that point#nor did I think I would continue doing saiou stuff#and now here I am fourish months later and I want to do this forever 🫡#probably can’t because motivation will run dry eventually of course#but I just am really enjoying where this stupid long and dramatic fic has gotten me#idk I’m almost getting emotional thinking about it#erghhhh kiwi is a crybaby it’s okay 😖#talking to like minded people is just such a pleasure#coming from someone who’s had such a hard time making friends her whole life this is so new#to have people talk with me because they want to#I’m ahhh socially inept if that wasn’t already very clear#never known how to talk to people#and I never realized that getting to talk to people without the pressure of showing my voice/face would feel so like freeing#I truly am just discovering what the internet is like rn and it’s overwhelming and wonderful at the same time#and I’m liking the journey so far#hoping ahhh that continues but I’m aware things aren’t always so pristine and ideal all the time#just will enjoy it while I have it!#oof sorry for long tags lmao it’s longer than the post 🤣

anyone who started at my company within the last year was invited to our headquarters (which is in boston :/) for onboarding week and it kicks off with a dinner tonight and i really really don’t want to go - so much so that i’m about to cry about it
#and the dinner is in the SEAPORT where dreams go to die#and i have no idea what i’m going to wear all week!#and we have to be IN the office 5 days instead of 3 and i can’t go to golf league tuesday and i think i’m overwhelmed#going to listen to radiohead in the shower

felt a little better today, I even checked some discord servers (I muted them all on Sunday..) and sent like two messages. I’m just trying to get myself through this week and then see how this continues..
#I’m nowhere near ready to talk about what happened on here but it’s truly devastating and I’m just trying to cope#my head is full of questions still#i feel a little sad about not being on here cause this is my home where all my friends are#but I’m completely overwhelmed with life#so I reduced it to a minimum for now#I see the people who still show up in my likes these days though and it’s sweet knowing someone’s around when I’m not#my stuff

It’s actually SO crazy how like. The literal day I lost my job, and the entire week after, I set about towards working on my dream. And it was instantly a lot more successful than I thought it would be. Like obviously not enough to call it, then and there. Not enough to say, “we did it! We made this work, and now we’re good to go!” But still, more people showed up to my streams, my vods got more views than I was expecting, and. All in all, it was looking really great!! Like if I kept putting in that kind of effort, I actually COULD have made it work long-term, and the dream could have been real. And then for whatever reason I gave up, and stopped streaming and stopped working on my model and stopped feeling like I could do it or do anything, crushed under the pressure of making it all work out, and the fear that it wouldn’t. I turned my fate into a self fulfilling prophecy. And now it’s too late to give it another go. Now we’re out of time, out of money. And I only have myself to blame.
#I’ll be back… once I have an actual job again. :(#It’ll probably be like. One stream a week at most.#But I’m not giving up permanently.#I think the fact that I won’t be working off of dwindling savings will be a big boon in my ability to actually sit down and start stream#Because that’s part of what freaked me out so bad#as soon as I realized that in the world where my dream was real#I would be depending on it for my income#and that meant I had a solid time limit on how long I had in order to make it successful like that#that pressure was too much#whereas#while I’m going to hate being employed again#so much#so so so much#(I fucking hate work and I hate capitalism and I hate corporations and I hate america)#At the very least#streams will be a thing that I do for me#for us#for fun#until they DO hit the threshold where they’re profitable (if they ever do)#and then at that point I’ll be good to quit my job and rely solely on them…#Everyone always says ‘don’t quit your day job to become a streamer’#and like yeah. Duh. obviously.#But I didn’t quit my job to become a streamer#I lost my job and then I decided that was the perfect time to actually start being a streamer#and it wasn’t even all that bad of an idea…#I hate to say it#because it’s acknowledging my failure.#But if I had continued from that first stream all the way until now- still streaming and growing and working on it#I genuinely think it could have worked out…#But I fucked up. I got overwhelmed and squandered my chance.

#vent post#vent blogging#Seven’s Public Diary#motivating myself to study for my driver’s permit by thinking of the Freedom and independence a license would grant me? ❌ 1/10 ineffective#motivating myself to study for my driver’s permit by imagining all the new & different possible ways i could become injured in a car crash?#✅ 7/10 it just might fucking work!!!#the only true cure for OCD is to face one’s fears. but i just might be able to find a loophole via my ever-worsening mental health#because you don’t have to Face your fears if you don’t Have any fears#and in order to rid myself of my fears regarding harm coming to myself. i simply have to stop fearing being harmed#and what better way to stop fearing it than to actively crave it!#or at the very least become so overwhelmed that i lose the capacity to feel any particular way about it#i’ve found a new OCD cure everybody - Just Stop Caring™️ /sarc#well. sarcastic or joking for everyone else. but im serious when it applies to me#bc so much of my anxiety comes from feeling unsafe. so i just have to reach the point where i stop caring if im safe or not. easy peasy#like yes i know this is flawed and unhealthy logic but i’ve resisted more compulsions via this method lately than i have via anything else#and even outside of OCD stuff even just for all my other anxiety disorders it’s also worked. im actually making a modicum of progress now#need to make a scary phone call? just get into a 3-hour family argument and then you’ll be so upset that you don’t feel fear! :)#genuinely worked very well. scared of a home invasion? well at least it’d mean you’d have some different company for once!#you might make a new friend! or if they **** you at least you’d have some Real trauma for once. it’s a win-win honestly …/hj#so. scared to drive? well even if you Do crash at least it might lead to a hospital visit and then you’ll finally get that attention you-#-want so fucking badly! you’ll finally get a break from everything while you recover. or even if you don’t survive- well. i shan’t say.#anyways. the ‘you’ in those tags is me talking to myself for the record. i wouldn’t speak to anyone else like this. i just speak in the-#-wrong tense/person sometimes. don’t know what’s up with that. just another reason i need to stop speaking altogether. as i’ve learned#i’ve been trying So fucking hard to be nice lately. letting them walk all over me. and it’s still not enough. cause i’m always-#-‘using the wrong tone’ and ‘if all im gonna do is say smthn negative i just shouldn’t speak at all’ ..okay! gladly!!!#sorry for being autistic and unsocialized and under immense stress and being unable to keep my ‘tone’ under control. my bad.#i just need to get blackout drunk with Venti at Angel’s Share. that would fix me.#that or heading down to the bottom of the Fortress of Meropide and curl up like a dog under Wriothesley’s desk. head empty no thoughts#not sexually. just. in a pet-regression sense. i can’t stop thinking abt it. i wanna write a oneshot for it but i can’t focus these days#anyways. the delusional maladaptive daydream dissociation will continue until morale improves. and brother it’s only getting worse.

finally starting to slowly feel like i’m recovering 🖤 positive and tickly messages/asks welcome or just good vibes 😌
i’ve never had such an intense, emotional, physically exhausting, and scary few weeks before i’m so sorry for the messages i haven’t gotten back to yet <3


#it me#vent#i’m so scared to return to work tm#i think i’m a little traumatized from the seizure tbh#and so overwhelmed to walk into work where everyone knows what happened#even if everyone’s nice#i’m still processing and recovering#it’s all sm rn#but in waves i’m starting to get better#online says it can take days to weeks to feel back to normal after a grand mal#so i’m just trying to take it easy and self care it up

#okay. so. the problem. with independent contract work?#is that. if everything is overwhelming. I can’t just. show up. do a job. and leave knowing I'll still be paid.#Nope. with this work? If I can’t make any money because I’m paralysed by being overwhelmed? Welp that’s All My Fault^TM#if I can’t make myself go find the clients and ask them very nicely for money?? then I get nothing!!#and that ~*must*~ mean that I ~*~*do not want it badly enough*~*~ /s#look. with independent contractor work it takes a lot of extra work just for the *opportunity* to make money#whereas with my normal regular job (THAT MY BOSS STILL WANTS ME TO HAVE BY THE WAY) I can just. show up.#make sure I do enough. and go home knowing that I’ll still make enough money to at least afford my rent. even if I can’t give it 110%#But now I can't. & so. you know what I was doing this month?#I started it by *barely* being able to afford rent (which I would not have been able to do without the help of some very kind people)#(so HUGE shoutout to the people who helped me out! in these quiet tags)#& then I nearly ran out of groceries. I’ve been rationing everything I have in the house & going to the food bank#I even went on the local buy nothing group and basically begged for people’s expired food#and I’ve also had to try to figure out how to pass an insurance exam on 14 days worth of honestly *terrible* information#(and I SOMEHOW passed despite the course NOT EVEN COVERING certain information that was on the exam!!)#and when I passed the exam they sent me a contract that basically says ‘yay congrats now you have the right to work (by yourself) for us!#‘no guarantee you’ll be paid tho! if you want money you’re gonna have to fucking EARN it yourself bitch! good luck!’#and I got a tutoring job that’s basically the same idea. the contract is like ‘congratulations you can now use our resources!#But if you don’t put in extra work (that you won’t be compensated for) looking for people to ask for money then you can’t have any!’#Like. I'm sorry. I used up all my ‘begging people for resources’ energy asking for people’s expired groceries#and I feel like maybe half of people only gave me groceries because they think I’m from Ukraine#which makes me feel a SPECIAL KIND OF WRETCHED (like I’m stealing groceries from people who need them more!!)#I’ve spent this whole month hungry lonely overwhelmed and just generally terrified#I have to constantly fight SO hard not to lay down on the floor and just give up#the only thing I feel motivated to do is draw art because at least that’s making me feel connected to others & like what I do matters#I did finish my goals for the day and that’s good. so I don’t want to say I feel guilty for making art. because I don’t!!#But there's a pretty loud voice in my head that's saying 'well if you have energy to make art. you should have energy to go get clients!'#You know what little voice in my head? you can FUCK RIGHT OFF because making art is very low effort comparatively#you know what's *not* low-effort? working really hard for the *potential* to earn & then not being guaranteed it'll even get you anywhere#& moving into the last two weeks of a month. where you have loan payments & rent due soon & no money. & no energy to go earn it.

gf’s lockets, and her glorious wealth of hair ✨
#n.#locket#my gf started her new job the other day; lots of anxiety beforehand due to incredibly pressurised / demanding role; she bravely & v…#brilliantly took a deep breath and faced the challenge and was an instant success; she’s gone through many hard times to get to where…#she is now and I’m daily overwhelmed by pride; we got to celebrate this recent weekend together 🐚#seeing someone you love so deeply working so hard for so long & finally being rewarded for that effort; it’s a privilege to be part of that#🍃

went to New Orleans and now my head is so full of Armand/Daniel thoughts I don’t know what to do with myself
#I mean I’m thinking about things I learned about other characters too but#mainly I stay insane about them#I feel back on my A game#what fic do I write first where do I go from here#I should probably take five to seven business days to process but my mind is a blur#if I stare into this void for too long I’ll end up overwhelmed#but also I haven’t touched a word doc in weeks lol this is terrifying!!
