something that people don’t tell you about depression, anxiety, trauma etc is that recovery is not this beautiful healing journey where you figure out the secret to happiness and a clear head and you just come out a different person. it’s hard. it’s really fucking hard and you have to work, probably harder than you even were working before while your mental illnesses stayed dormant.
and that’s what makes me so angry about people who misunderstand disorders and their subsequent treatment. getting help is not easy. you may think that all someone needs to do is wave a magic wand and stop being the way that they are but “getting help” often means signing yourself up for regular therapy, trying out medications, trying out different forms of therapy, processing complex trauma and emotions, reconfiguring your life, challenging yourself every single day to do things you couldn’t before. it’s fucking hard!!
and to everyone out there, like me, who is going through this process - i see you and hear you and i know that we’re going to get through it. and i hate the “you’re so strong” thing but holy shit, we are strong. i know how much effort and work it takes. it’s more than just “drink water” and “go on a walk.” it’s often about rewiring your entire brain.

Okay, my turn to go full tin foil hat on Tech living though that fall. So.
Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s seeing this:
“You have to admire ‘em. They find a way to survive.” I know the ice vulture is Crosshair’s thing, but its silhouette also looks like the marauder, and when I think of the marauder, I think of Tech. I think there’s more to tease out here with Tech and Crosshair parallels, but THEY. THEY find a way to survive.
Anyway, I’ll be getting a fitting for a clown wig if y’all need me.

A little life update 23.02.24 — 02.03.24
• I got B- for my Asian History class essay. I was actually very enthusiastic while writing it and it was not the result I expected at all. Also, because this essay costs 25% of the final grade I most likely screwed up my 4.0. So, it threw me out of the rhythm for a few days and made me feel very unmotivated overall. But since now is not the time when I can do nothing I forced myself to get back to work and managed to get over it. Grades aren’t the most important thing at the end of the day. Gaining knowledge, being interested in what you’re doing and having fun are.
• I passed my Material Science final. Don’t know the grade but I got A+ for the course overall. This warms my soul.
• We presented a group work on Wednesday. Went pretty well. We did have some argument the night before (because there are people who don’t show up to the group meeting and then tell “we changed all these things” the night before). We got it sorted out more or less though and the overall presentation looked alright, so I’m at peace now.
• I do have another group work with the same people due Monday. For some reason people who wanted the intermediate deadline to be tonight are exactly the people who didn’t do a thing. How does this work? I’m done with my part though which is nice.
(Our group dynamic isn’t that bad though. The presentation went alright at the end. The person I’m working with on the section of the report assigned to us (current group work) almost done with his part too. The other two people were working on their parts tonight. The last girl is also nice but her time management sucks. So, I’m pretty sure this work will turn out alright too. I just don’t get people sometimes and hate group work overall. But I don’t hate my current group even if I’m whining)
• I got sick on Wednesday (it’s stress, really). So I had to skip my usual Friday volunteering at the theatre. Which I feel bad about because it is the second time in a month already. But I did feel shitty and had fever, so yeah.
It is not all that happened during this time, but this text is already a little too long. I’ll try to better keep up with my posts.
Be healthy, eat well, and don’t forget to rest ✨🫐

We don’t know what’s going to happen, and things can always work out better than expected. 🧡
