Fic Teaser: What’s In Your Head? (Tyler)

“I’m a hostage in my own head wrestling for control. There isn’t time to worry about what’s on the other side waiting for me. The terror and destruction my hyde has caused—I’ll worry about that later. Right now I have to prioritize. The only way I can take control of me again and break its hold on my body is to get the jump on my hyde and stun it.”

“I’m being hunted and I’m running out of shelters.”

i'm rewatching s1 with my mom and episode 7 is personally a nightmare. my anxiety 📈. i feel like, i was in the middle that chaos. like a ptsd vibes.

I only felt that way on the first episode of Black Mirror (that i had to stop in the middle of the episode and text a friend to watch and tell me if something that i would be traumatized for the rest of my life would show on my tv. this level of insanity) and on the episode of the Grays Anatomy shooting (literally traumatizing). and the bear comes and enters on my list "worst sensations in life while watching television".

but rewatching it i managed to laugh (nervous). wtf sydney did she do on that fucking tablet (my poor girl)😭😭 and marcus in a dreamland 😭😭😭 tina's son shows up on the worst day ever😭😭😭😭 at the beginning of the episode, ebra reading the review that highlights the dish that is not on the menu LIKE😭😭😭😭😭😭 I CAN'T

Morning of Day 6

I still feel bad emotionally, it’s like all my problems that kratom extract was masking are getting thrown in my face all at once, and they are all I can think about.

Today is my 6th day without it. But one of the reasons I was talking it was because it’s one of those things where it’s almost like even if someone were to come and punch me in the face every single day, I would not care that much and I would still be happy. Because I would be less aware of what’s going on. And as I said, I surrendered long ago, I’d rather be unaware.

I can’t handle it anymore.

The environments we are constantly exposed to can influence our mental health. Many of these environmental factors can lead to the development of a mental illness. For this reason, it is crucial to understand these risk factors.

A Timely Hug from my Dad...

A day when my thoughts were crowded. Memories and memorials do-looping since 3 a.m. this December 13th. Wanting warmth and comfort while getting ready for a mid-morning appointment I reached for my great grandmother’s engagement ring and a pair of earrings my father had given me years ago. So many years ago. A shopping trip from long ago and across the pond makes me smile every time I remember…

Laughing in inappropriate situations - Psychology

[captainkirkk]

I want to see characters being taken care of in an explicit and worshipful way. Home-cooked meals. Hair brushed and braided by gentle hands. Little gifts just because.

I want to read about characters who are not used to kindness being bombarded by acts of service. This trope works romantically and platonically. Give me found family and acts of service - all the ways a character is wrapped up in wordless, explicit care after years of cruelty and having no idea how to handle. I need it.

What You Need to Know About Anxiety Disorders

Experiencing anxiety every now and then is a normal part of life. However, individuals with anxiety disorders have intense, frequent, and excessive worry and fear about normal, everyday situations. Often, anxiety disorders interfere with daily activities and can be difficult to control without professional help.

Fic Teaser (Ch. 2): What’s In Your Head? (Tyler)

Hey, I'm sorry to bother you but...do you have any definite, or close to definite, way to tell if a memory is real or not?

Mild tw for csa. I've been trying to figure out if a memory from my childhood was real. On the one hand I don't know why I'd make up a memory of assault like that, especially since while I was much younger than that in the memory, I know I've had this memory since about age nine. But I've heard a lot of people (not directly, but in blogs and other websites) say that a lot of people make up memories like this. I don't know why I would, but is there any way to be sure or at least close? This isn't the first time I've tried to figure it out, but it is the first time it's gone on for so long and made me so anxious. If I made it, then why would I do that, and how do I trust other memories now? I used to be mostly confident in my memories, even other ones of different traumatic events, but now I'm doubting a lot and...I don't know I'm just freaked out and wish I could be sure.

Hey there,

To be honest it can be really difficult to know if a memory is real or not. For example some people may have really vivid dreams and wake up not know if what they dreamt really happened or not. But somehow, I do not think or believe that what you have spoken about was a dream or made up in any way.

Due to you being so young when the possible abuse happened, and being young still when you first remembered and discussed when it happened the chances of you making this up is very slim. I say this because it’s a memory of you being so young and well before you read or saw any blogs that may have suggested that a lot of people may make up such abuse. You also mentioned that you have been through other traumatic events, which makes me think that this memory of you being abused is definitely one you can trust. But of course this is only what I think and feel.

When something that happens to us when we are very young, it’s normal to supress those memories until we are a bit older and can handle more or better what we have endured and been through. This may help to explain the lateness I guess you can say in regards to only recently having these memories of your past. Does that make sense?

I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do let us know if we can help to support you in any other way!

I’m thinking of you and hope that you are going well!

Take care,

Lauren

Since the previous morning, she seemed to have grown old in the world's experiences; her ideas were changed, the bent of her thoughts had been violently turned from its course.
