For every mentally ill person on Thanksgiving: here’s a tip for dealing with anxiety that I learned in therapy.
TTIPP
T- temperature: a sudden change in temperature shocks and resets your nervous system. This includes dipping your face/hands in ice water, eating ice, holding ice, taking a hot/cold shower, holding an ice pack.
T- taste: extreme (or sometimes just taste in general) can be good for grounding. Carry around warheads, fireball candies, jolly ranchers, sour patch kids, etc.
I- intense exercise: get the endorphins flowing. Get some happy chemicals in your system and relax your body. You can also outrun your adrenaline so you’re not so close to that fight or flight. And in the wise words of Elle Woods: “Exercise gives you endorphins. Endorphins make you happy. Happy people just don’t kill their husbands.”
P- patterned breathing (I think): Breathing exercises can slow down your heart rate. That can also brung your body out of your fight or flight because it tells your hormones to stop being wack.
P- progressive muscle relaxation: sometimes when you have anxiety, your muscles will tense. If you really squeeze your muscles as tight as you can for a few seconds and then relax, it’ll teach your muscles how to relax eventually. It’ll calm your body down. Start with the top of your body, like your jaw, tense it really tight, and then release. Then work your way down to your feet. Do it a couple times until you feel noodly.

TELL ME ABOUT ASSISFRIEDKIN!!! I assume it’s friedkin and lt assistent?
yeag themst! i was promising myself i would someday make a Proper most (and even kept a similar ask as a reminder for myself, sorry i never got back to you tumblr user dykebarbie, i SEE U and APPRECIATE YOU), but i just never have enough energy/motivation for that (maybe i should've changed my blog name lmao, but also i love assisfriedkin :3), SO. instead.
i'll hand you this mcfucking google doc that was meant to be a collection of resources for me to make a post from. tysm for asking, genuinely, and have fun! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rLpDet6hLlWWxq4c9NIe63BZ5KdCcUfNw5QOkcGt33U/edit?usp=drivesdk
also if im bothered enough times there's a chance ill finish the outline for that au where friedkin is replaced with an alternative friedkin from a timeline where he wasn't a bad guy (i call that alt!hugo au), and that makes both him and mike have soooo many kinds of existential crises <3
oh also both kp (@generalized-incompetence) and phoebe (@clockworkcheetah) have assisfriedkin hcs — guys, would you mind sharing, or adding screenshots/links of old stuff?
also kp i beg of you to link that library fic of yours, i love it so so much :3 :3 :3 my fac thingie, my comfort read!!

cw : gore description , abuse
i saw a take saying mental illnesses ( millnesses ) / neurodivergences ( gonna shorfen that fr later to nds ) / disabilities ( dabs ,,,,, im tired dont fucking try to fight me on this one ) : shouldnt get flags because nd people arent as oppressed as gay people
first off you know the least oppressed group ? possibly in the world ? countries ! boats ! know what they have ? flags !
why do they have flags if they’re not homosexual , because as we all know : cloth inherently belongs to the faggots and if you wear clothes , pledge allegiance , or have blankets bed sheets rugs or plushies or pillows : you’re gay .
go back to the mud , like a good heterogender cissexual . straightvestite .
flags are to easily signal something from a distance . to easily communicate a message , sometimes a message that inherently needs to be secret .
flags can also symbolize a sense of belonging and identity and similarity to someone else who is also able to recognize said flag from a distance and instantly know you are 1 : likelier to be a safe person , 2 : someone whose existence means they are not alone in a positive way .
finally flags are used to show pride . You wear them proudly or wave them or display them , so that others can see , and that communicates the message that the thing the flag is in support of : is something you view positively , and regardless of what it is : you are able to feel brave enough to display it . in terms of country flags that fucking sucks by merit of : countries fucking suck . however if you had something you were told was sinful , or terribly horribly flawed about you : would you not want confirmation from others that it was okay for you to just exist
ignoring the additional fact that a lot of lgbt+ people are mentally ill because of , oh i dont know , trauma from growing up hiding who we were plus people actively trying to harass if not kill us :
do you have any idea the UTTER BULLSHIT neurodivergent people go through
constant attacks on character and harassment JUST for adhd ,
lots of people treat the tism like a fucking plague , and getting diagnosed CAN GET YOUR HOUSE , CAR , DRIVERS LISCENCE , AND LITERAL CHILDREN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU
and OH BABY IF YOUVE GOT A STIGMATIZED MENTAL HEALTH CONDITION
gaslighting , manipulation , and other abuses , all conveniently located at the only place you can get any mcfucking help for your symptoms .
now there is no treatment that “ works “ for DID , frankly i would be absolutely terrified of anything that claimed it did , and would have no desire to conform to a society in which little dudes in brain : isnt accepted . you can have my little dudes over my cold dead body
but DEAR , GOD . people have lost housing , been institutionalized and had their entire lives taken away , people have lost all sorts of things , the only reason you cant see it is that it happens right under your nose , all the time , and youre used to it .
it’s acceptable to you that people wind up on the streets after a mental breakdown , it’s acceptable to you that people can’t get medication , and are thrown into danger because of it . the living hell of institutionalization is acceptable to you , you like staying in hospitals ? imagine that but forever until you die . it’s acceptable to you that people lose their stability , mobility , agency , self determination , and literal children .
i could sit here all fucking day and go through some bullshit oppression olympics with you that doesn’t fucking matter because all of us were being burned at the stake in the olden days anyways and it doesn’t matter whose experiemce burning was less satisfactory ; and not feel the overwhelming urge to rip out its windpipe because it doesn’t belong to you .
- or ! absolutely batshit concept !
you could look at a flag that helps signal to people they are safe , there are allies nearby , it’s okay for them to EXIST , there is nothing wrong with them , if they need help with a problem relating to whatever the flag signifies : they can talk to this person potentially , and theres a higher chance this person will know how to help and what information to pass along if the person does want to help , and you can go : i like being the bare minimum of adequate for a human being , and walk away .
