instead of dangerous new year resolutions that capitalize off my insecurities or dwelling on any of the shit that happened today, im learning how to knit :) im awful at it, probably always will be because FUCK my hands are so shaky—and im having a blast in making the soppiest stitches known to man and that motion alone
[ID: twenty stitches of light pink yarn on a single metal knitting needle. END ID]
(^ guy who will go through all these before getting one (1) knit stitch on)

i feel a feeling that is genuinely intolerable and go "okay what do i do with this"
therapist brain says "feel ur feelings, its unhealthy to suppress all the time." rational brain says, "hi if we sit with this emotion then we are going to either be bleeding or dead in approximately ten minutes. so whats another option." therapist brain goes "wellll i guess in that case maybe u can distract urself idk, that can be a coping strategy sometimes." rational brain glances at emotion, shakes its head and shoots back "yeahhhh no can do there bud. this one's a real whopper and distractions ain't gonna cut it this time."
both sections of the brain shrug at each other and then The Disorder brain raises its hand smugly and simpers out "hiiii remember me? yeah this is the reason i exist teehee :) give me five minutes and I'll have an amnesia wall erected and another part of the brain shoved into the forefront and then we'll be right as rain! and this emotion can go rot in the locked cabinet of horrors until another part accidentally stumbles upon it again in the future or until the lock breaks. :)"

i know this sounds silly, but, having dirty glasses can count as a "sensory issue".
most people are fine when theres like one thing that bothers them. their sweater a bit itchy. their shoes are bit tight. their hair tickling their neck.
but im having like multiple of these things, and THEN i got dirty glasses on top?
i may sit there for half an hour getting increasingly fucking bothered by my glasses, unable to do anything about it, until i reach critical mass, squirm in frustration and finally snap and clean them.
which makes me seem like a fucking stupid weirdo!! especially when im all annoyed when somebody dares to talk to me and bother me on top of the 12 things going on. im sorry i snapped at you but im very overwhelmed! yes its annoying i had to fidget a billion times while watching a movie and clean my glasses 50 times and scratch 20 different places on my body and adjust my clothes a billion fucking times, but i dont fucking like it either okay!!! im more bothered by it than you are, i promise!!!!!
