Ever Since I Found Out That We Get Suicidal Thoughts When The Brain Is Put In A Stressful Situation And

Ever since I found out that we get suicidal thoughts when the brain is put in a stressful situation and the amygdala (the part that makes emotion) takes over and stops rational thoughts being processed properly so that your only go to is your emotional “logic”, I have found it a lot easier to deal with.

Like we misclicked a button and the brain’s best solution was “guess we should just kill ourselves”?? Really?? It couldn’t think of any better solution than dying?? That’s some low grade brain shit just click another button and it’s fine.

My mum was talking about how she could tell that two people were together romantically “because of the way they look at each other” and that pissed me off.

Let people stare with heart eyes at their friends. Let them look softly at their qpp. Let them gaze with longing at their pet. Let them look like they might pounce on a hotdog at any second.

Why does literally everything you do have to be defined by amatonormativity??

tag the headmate whose pronouns you forgot :(

Reminder that if you need to use plastic, cars, electricity, big business products, phones, fast food restaurants etc. to live a good life or to live at all then no neurotypical abled person who doesn’t need them has the right to lecture you on ethics and sustainability.

If you figure out how to join can you bring me?? Everyone else gets to go and I don’t have any of this stuff 😭 - Ash

system question:

what is it like to live in headspace for most of your life?

Every professional psychiatrist/psychologist I’ve ever met have always assumed my attachment to my mum was too dependent and tried to treat me based on that which is why it was wild that I went to two sessions with a specialist in my disorders who immediately told me that I showed all the signs of having no attachment to anyone in my life especially my mother.

That’s a lot of learned behaviours added to exacerbate an already awful attachment style.

When you have an under-researched disorder people miss so many important things that could have helped you much sooner because they just assume the obvious.

Don’t be afraid to push back when you know they’re missing something important. It’s your brain they’re messing up.
