Most "Mentally Ill"™ Episode You've Had

This is meant to be kinda "funny in hindsight" kind of threads and just to have some light hearted laughs about the kinda funny in hindsight mental health episodes, breakdowns, etc that you've had

Cause personally, I think I had a new funny peak textbook "uber mentally ill" episode a week ago

Where I was having like, literally two hours of panic attacks / overload meltdown and for the entire two hours plus my brain CONSTANTLY had the song "the itsy bitsy spider" with the video playing the WHOLE time in my inner eye

Full on panic attack and half of my brain is doing that while the whole other half is DEDICATED to this

I felt like I had officially lost my marbles at that point /hj

In hindsight and even a little in the moment though, the funny combination of what my brain was doing did kinda make it easier to cope ngl

Anyone with a story is invited to share

Recovering good / neutral / childhood memories tends to happen randomly these days as I go about just simply living and I was spending some time meditating since I'm still in "enduring work that is mentally not good for me out of respect to the company" and on day 4/5 of my second to last week (last week is shorter)

And I just remembered by dad used to regularly and reliably spend like the first 15 or so minutes of his day meditating and doing head / neck stretches and I'm like damn huh.

If we do this also, since Ill be moderating it, Ill provide the original design and finalize it by drawing a new version of whatever the result at the end of the train is

Unironically really enjoying the new habit of reading even tho I havent been logging it as much, but since I'm enjoying it, I might see of I can find some good Buddhist literature relating to tulpacourse and actually do a proper reading on it cause I am curious about what the original practice is based on, at least in more depth than what I know now

So kinda funny life thing lately

Recently my writing partner is going through essentially Jewish bootcamp (his wife is going through Orthodox conversion so that if they were to have kids theyd be considered Jewish; ironically though due to customs that means he has to do a SHIT ton of studying and scholar shit since they basically formally teach the culture and customs and rules and history and beliefs and so forth and due to his family situation, he was never cultured in it)

And Ive just been doing a lot of my casual active studying of Buddhism and reading into some of the history of it and all cause like

I honestly identify more as Buddhist than Chinese at this point and have largely kinda let go of the "I was never cultured in it due to my family" of my ethnic culture and accepted rather that while I may have missed out on that a lot of my childhood and life sitaution actually always had me set up for Buddhism + its honestly something I culturally identify with and understand and vibe with better

And so I like to learn about the history and different perspectives so Ive been doing light reading

And its really funny cause randomly we will be like "Heres the cool things about it and things I like and the neat shit" but also theres some of the more mythos / lore and all that we both respectively side eye a bit

And so every so often we just chat about things were finding and perspectives and largely have open space to tell the other about topics and discussions from the perspectives of Buddhism and Judaism

And its really interesting seeing some similarities, differences, and - honestly my favorite discourse to read people on forums talking about - is if Abraham and Brahmins are related or if its coincidence

But its a really neat experience cause both of us grew up feeling estranged from our cultures as our abusive households never really raised us let alone in any cultural manner, and so its a really nice healing thing for the both of us to have our cultural niches that we are either fitting more naturally into (my case) or being properly immersed into

And its really nice being able to celebrate that by exchanging it respectfully with one another.

You know, for once, actual cultural exchange

I think the funniest thing about being this far in late stage DID recovery is that a lot of the people that tend to be fake claimers would probably be really mad cause ya know, after SEVERAL years of therapy to treat my DID

I do have DID / present with parts when its convenient and DON'T have DID / present with parts when its inconvenient.

Yes I do pick and choose when I express "symptoms".

Its a really cool part of this thing called recovery, symptom management, and reclaiming of your identity and self.

No I don't really listen to rap, Chunn does HOWEVER if you try to grill me on not listening to rap I ABSOLUTELY do listen to rap and I will suddenly be a singlet and have access to the full repertoire of music Chunn listens to solely so I can ruin your grill session.

-

TLDR: dont sweat fakeclaimers or "looking fake" cause looking fake and quality recovery tend to look a lot alike and it isnt worth your recovery progress to appeal to people online with nothing better to do
