tw: discussion of self harm (nothing graphic)

after a year clean, i self harmed again. i feel miserable and ashamed and guilty that i caved to the urge, i was feeling too much and didn’t know how to cope. it’s the only thing that quiets my brain and calms me down.

my boyfriend is pretty upset about it, hurt and says i damaged his trust where now he feels like he can’t leave me alone. he says he can’t be intimate with me until the cuts are gone either, it hurts him too much to see them. and i take a long time to heal so who knows how long that will be. we were supposed to have a nice weekend together coming up and now i feel like i ruined it. i let everyone down.

i was doing so good, making so many improvements and now it feels like i’ve undone all that hard work. im tired. i just wanted to make the overwhelming, unbearable flood of emotions stop and it’s the only thing that always works

in honor of the Lilo & Stitch remake being a huge piece of shit here's a comic about what the original meant to me as an 8 year old

[cryptcatz]

thinking about all the “small” art that’s ever existed. songs that were only ever sung in one village. stories written by children that got lost in the shuffle. personal paintings that didn’t survive the test of time. how they affected the lives of just a few, but still existed, still mattered to someone.

kill the imposter syndrome in your head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they’re also using chat gpt to do it

Everyone I know in Gaza is messaging me saying they can't find internet anymore and are barely able to connect using esims that are running out. Please don't stop donating esims.

Something that helps

If you blurt out something that you thought would be funny but it comes across as insensitive, just quickly say, “I’m sorry, that was rude, what I meant was…”

If you say something in anger or frustration, take a breath and say, “I’m sorry, that was hurtful, let me rephrase…”

If you say something heartfelt, but it comes across as insincere or ironic, say “That sounds like I’m just saying it, but I’m being truly honest…”

If you accidentally tell the waiter “enjoy your meal” just laugh and say a quick “so sorry, my brain isn’t working today!” and you will most likely get a commiserating chuckle in return.

Most of the time, the other person will accept your apology with no harm done. Sometimes they even insist they understood what you meant the first time and clarification was not needed. At times, maybe they have a right to be upset, but it never hurts to apologize again so they know that you’re taking their feelings into account.

Repeat after me. It’s okay to be bad at conversation. Knowing how to apologize makes it easier.
