I have this tendency to postpone and avoid things that trigger my anxiety, but I'm starting to realize that it isn't doing me any favors. Because due to the nature of my anxiety, I will in fact be stressing about it until I face it. Whereas if I actually face it, it'll either be over and not half as bad as I expected, or there will be a concrete problem that I can take steps towards solving. Both of which are preferable to aimless, constant anxiety

Either people need to learn how to tell the difference between an “I’m sorry” that takes direct responsibility and an “I’m sorry” that signifies sympathy, or I’m gonna start responding to unfortunate information with a solemn nod and a “Sympies,” because I am tired of receiving a “Why? It wasn’t your fault” every time I try to vocalize compassion.

so tired of youtubers looking up how to pronounce an unfamiliar word (or name) and then going "uhmmmm that sounds so weird :/ that can't be right. i'm not calling it that" ENGLISH ISN'T THE ONLY LANGUAGE THAT EXISTS NOT EVERY NAME HAS ENGLISH SOUNDS YOU LITERALLY HAVE THE ANSWER DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!

fun tip! you can ALWAYS remake the same art piece. even if you've already completed one 100% you can literally just pick it up another time and make the entire thing again. you can do a different take on it, or just try to remake it. edvard munch made 4 versions of "The Scream" and that's like one of the most iconic paintings ever. you can do that too

these cluster names are so rude for some reason they might as well have been Weird Wacko and Freakazoid

i feel like discord’s feature of showing an itemized list of all your friends hanging out all the time was made for more mentally healthy people

The Stars.

Very proud of this piece. It’s like I’m getting good everytime. Unfortunately it’s true that an artist will draw always the same oc’s over and over again but can’t help.

Inspired by Dominik Mayer's art, Dragon Age Inquisition and the Rider Waite tarot card deck.

one of the biggest things I can advocate for (in academia, but also just in life) is to build credibility with yourself. It’s easy to fall into the habit of thinking of yourself as someone who does things last minute or who struggles to start tasks. people will tell you that you just need to build different habits, but I know for me at least the idea of ‘habit’ is sort of abstract and dehumanizing. Credibility is more like ‘I’ve done this before, so I know I can do it, and more importantly I trust myself to do it’. you set an assignment goal for the day and you meet it, and then you feel stronger setting one the next day. You establish a relationship with yourself that’s built on confidence and trust. That in turn starts to erode the barrier of insecurity and perfectionism and makes it easier to start and finish tasks. reframing the narrative as a process of building credibility makes it easier to celebrate each step and recognize how strong your relationship with yourself can become

They should invent a mental health condition that only has one root cause and will go away forever when it is addressed the first time
