hi! we dont know each other but ive stumbled upon your posts in which you describe your anxiety brain and borrowing trouble from the future and i can totally relate to that. and it sounds a lot like ocd, which i know i have... idk if this would be helpful

sometimes i do see things about ocd that i relate to. i think a lot of the underlying thought patterns and fears are probably similar. i don't think i respond to them in the way that somebody with ocd does, though -- i don't experience compulsions and don't find any relief from behaving in certain ways or performing certain rituals, i just experience profound dread and physical discomfort until i'm able to forget about the thing that triggered the anxiety or i move on to something else

my sister has ocd, which i only learned recently (we don't live together and aren't super close), but again, although i see overlap between our experiences, i think we respond to those triggers differently and find different things helpful/harmful. obviously everyone is different so that doesn't rule out the possibility that i'd also have it, but i think it makes it less likely

generally i think my issues are largely attributable to generalised anxiety disorder, some kind of brainweirds (not sure if autistic or have adhd or both), and a solid dose of complex trauma that contributes a fair amount of hypervigilance and fear to the proceedings which make standard anxiety tactics less helpful

i think all mental health diagnoses are labels we give to certain groups of symptoms rather than like. firmly grouped Conditions between which there can be no overlap, though. some aspects of anxiety and ocd are very similar, and some are different -- the same stars in different constellations. i think i score more points in the anxiety chart, so that's where i am for now, but doesn't mean i'm not experiencing some of the same things, if that makes sense (and it also doesn't mean that some coping mechanisms designed for one condition won't work just because i don't think i fit under that label -- sometimes they do)

sorry to keep personal posting but my day fucking SUCKED and ended with me dropping one of my brand new earrings from a set that I just finished cleaning down the drain, took the sink apart and still couldn’t find it 🙃

if y’all feel like asking a leverage/misc question for thoughts or headcanons I’d love to answer them in the morning! or even if you just want to say something about your day- I just like hearing from you guys 💖

Sometimes I find myself thinking about Din Djarin a little too much that I get concerned and think that I really should go to therapy...

Well, I'm finally doing that (again) tomorrow... :)

Feeling pretty nervous about it but hoping that because I now know I'm autistic it will help me understand/explain things a little better! Hopefully this is the start of a journey to finally become a healthier, happier version of myself :)

okay maybe I should seriously reconsider my path in life and sell my soul to marketing or journalism instead

I feel like Matt and Phoenix would be best friends

they both wake up and worry about how they're going to afford rent, go to court to defend someone who totally looks like they did it, have an insanely homosexual moment with their best friend, think about that one time that they hooked up with She-Hulk, not think about how their type is people that scare them a little, get the shit beat out of them and then come out kind of fine, find a big important corrupt guy to send to jail when everyone else is too afraid to touch him, and then they go to sleep alone because their martyr complex extends to avoiding romantic connections.

They also care less about the word of the law and are willing to break it for the sake of actual justice and push through injuries through sheer willpower.

Remembering that a 4 hour psychological test means 4 hours under the examiner's microscope. I hope they let me listen to music during a written test, but idk if that would defeat the purpose or not. I... really don't know what to expect tomorrow, and it's kind of making me a bit nervous. Lol.

The last therapy scene in PUE 11 was so fucking good, like just the layers of characterization going on there and the way that a certain character was beginning to see the light of a better way of living, but was still their argumentative self that was skeptical and trying to disprove that "better way" at every turn. It was such a good scene of like, a character literally talking about their emotions over therapy, but it didn't feel like some heavy handed "ah I will be a good person and get better because of therapy". Rather like the character was approaching therapy through their own mindset/way of being, not fully embracing it, clashing with it, arguing about the therapeutic concepts in a logical way. Just really good all around

sometimes im like Therapy Would Fix Me and so i book an appointment with a new therapist and every time with out fail they suck for one reason or another. and its like i know not all therapists are like this because i had one (1) insanely good therapist who had a baby and never came back.... but are we sure she isnt the exception? and then im like i guess therapy wont fix me

i actually have a pretty particular view of kuramas relationship with kuronue. i see that back in his youko days, kurama slept around a lot. he didnt really have any interest mating, and didnt at all mind leading people on to get what he wanted out of them. he enjoyed keeping his heart out of reach of all who wanted it, and had fun toying with them over it.

but then he became close partners with kuronue, who eventually opened up to kurama about his desire to mate with him. kurama wouldnt enjoy leading him on, because while hes not in love with him, he still cares for him deeply. so he told kuronue he doesnt feel the same way, and his partner took it pretty well, saying as long as they can be by each others side, it doesnt matter what form their relationship is. despite that, its the first time kurama felt bad for not returning someones feelings, and its the first time that he began to wonder if hes actually completely incapable of feeling romantic love.

and then, much later, he falls madly in love with hiei. and kurama feels so guilty- if it was so easy for him to fall for hiei, why couldnt he have felt the same way for kuronue? is it because his human body is allowing him more range of emotions? is it because he was lonely without anyone in the human world to fully connect to and know the real him before hiei came along? could it have just simply been the right place at the right time? could it maybe even be some sort of ~destiny of the universe~ thing like soulmates?

he feels so, so happy dating hiei, but he cant help but feel a crushing guilt about it sometimes. the simple fact of the matter is that hes grayromantic- hell, practically just full aro but with an exception- but kurama feels like since he fell for hiei, he must have just been too selfish and closed off back then to allow himself to return kuronues feelings. he feels like he owed it to his old partner, even if kuronue had never pushed about it and accepted that kurama doesnt feel the same way. kurama can mask his feelings skillfully, but he cant outright control them- though he certainly feels guilty for not being able to anyways.
