the gut wrenching jealousy and fear of abandonment I feel when an important friend of mine is affectionate with someone else

I know people have gotten better on how they talk about Rand re: his mental health in recent years in this fandom but it baffles me that I had a conversation with someone on Twitter last year who said "I never really thought of Rand as a mentally ill character." when he canonically has PTSD

Me every time I am in pain : no I need to wait before taking pain killer because if I take them to early they wont work in the future because my body adapts

Also me 30 min after taking them: omg i am free worst experience of my life

reading a fanfic where one of the characters has the exact same vague chronic symptoms as you is wild. Suddenly i’m like “no!!! you should be resting!!! it’s not normal to feel like that” instead of “this is fine and normal”

One of the weirdest things about finding out you're traumatized/mentally ill/neurodivergent as an adult is looking back at all the very obvious signs in your childhood and realizing none of the adults responsible for you were paying attention

legit wondering if when I start going to the doc for all my physical shit I should ask abt who I should see abt maybe getting mood stabilizers

i'm sick of this unending cycle of getting eight million ideas and scrambling from one to the next before burning myself out on all of them and falling into a depression and hating myself for not doing any of the eight million things I was excited about

my symptoms change every week. every two weeks I relearn how to do basic tasks. my body remembers what my mind doesn’t, but it can’t command itself to move the way it used to. I know it’ll pass. I never know what’s next.

Dodging mirrors so I don't see my reflection and get reminded I'm a human being with a face and skin

Yay 🙄

couple of little notes about shiki's injuries:

shiki's legs were severed below the knee , which allows him to still walk. however , standing for too long can be very painful so often times he will either sit or begin floating when it starts to bother him. his blades can be removed from his legs , but shiki only does that when he's going to sleep.

the injury to shiki's head was incredibly severe & it's honestly a miracle he survived it at all. it is a testament to his vitality that he was able to make a recovery as quickly as he did , though there are permanent side effects that resulted:

due to the location of the injury his vision was damaged , as well as his perception of distance , hand eye coordination , & his balance. over time shiki was mostly able to overcome this thanks to his devil fruit to make up for difficulty in orientation & observation haki to make up for his vision loss.

other symptoms include bouts of confusion , memory loss , & chronic , severe headaches. these injuries have played a huge role in the decline in shiki's fighting capabilities & though he has mostly managed to recover from them , he will never be back to 100%

i can taste my heart in my throat (the texture is easier to describe but it’s a lot like . like. oh I don’t know) and i’m shivering even though my room is 74 degrees Farenheit and when i close my eyes i see a pair of owl eyes staring back at me. great. this has got to be the nightmare blunt rotation of fucking rage episodes this is literally nonsensical
