aaaaa this is so good i wish everyone would realize that we’re people to. its a mental illness we’re not freakin aliens. as someone with low empathy (possibly socipathic) and autism i applaud you.

Okay so I’m tired and bitchy and I’ve had a rough morning, and because of that I’m probably about to drop an unpopular opinion here, but I really dont care.

Narcissist is starting to become the new sociopath/psychopath/psycho, and I am really, really concerned with where this is heading.

It’s the exact same thing I’ve been seeing for years with my own diagnosis. You say you’re a sociopath, and immediately you’re now an asshole. I’ve had people actually ask me if I have ever hurt someone/wanted to hurt someone because I’m a sociopath, and I’ve had to explain over and over again that no, that’s not what that means, it just means empathy is not something that I can experience like everyone else. I can still be compassionate, I can still be a kind person, I can have no desire to hurt anyone ever, but I still get treated like a ticking time bomb. Even though my disorder actually helps me in a job that saves lives (I work in tissue donation, so not feeling empathy makes handling donor tissue from a 15 year old a lot easier), I still get asked by people at that same job about my “secret dark side” and if I ever did/do things like torture animals.

The same thing is happening to narcissists. You say you’re a narcissist, and now suddenly you’re an abuser. You want to paint someone as a bad person? Call them a narcissist, then everyone will understand how mean and evil they are. I am so sick and tired of seeing tiktoks, tweets, and Tumblr posts going on and on about how horrible narcissists are and how much people hate them. As if narcissists aren’t people! As if narcissists aren’t people experiencing a personality disorder! Y'all are all about “neurodivergent/mental illness solidarity uwu” until you bring in the “undesirable” mental illnesses and personality disorders, and then suddenly it’s “All x people are mean and evil and abusive blah blah blah they can’t get better/better themselves blah blah blah here’s how to argue with them except I’m not going to actually talk about that I’m actually going to just say how horrible they are and how they’re bad people blah blah blah” and it’s like shut up! Shut the fuck up! Those are people! Those are real people with real feelings and you’re just out here saying they’re inherently bad, and for what? For likes? For clout? Do you have any idea how hard it is to come to terms with a diagnosis like that when your view on it is so incredibly skewed, when you think you’re being assigned the Bad Person Disease™️ after you’ve tried so hard to be a kind person and uplift those around you? And now you’re left thinking it was all for nothing, because now you can never be a good person no matter how hard you try because you have Bad Person Disease? Do you have literally any idea how damaging that is, and how much that hurts? But hey, ableism isn’t ableism when it’s against the “bad” people, right?

Anyway, if you’re a sociopath, psychopath, narcissist, have bpd, are bipolar in the “wrong” way, are schizophrenic or psychotic, are the “wrong” type of autistic, or anything else, I see you and you’re doing amazing. Your diagnosis doesn’t dictate who you are and, even though some things are harder for us than they are for others, that doesn’t mean you’re a bad person.

A survival guide for finals week

It's coming up unfortunately and it's probably the most stressful week you'll have in the semester and for some reason, every time it comes around it seems like the universe has it out for you. Here are some tips that have helped me and hopefully can help you!!! Feel free to add on!

Carry water with you everywhere. Nervous? Drink. Tired? Drink. Angry? Drink. Get hydrated and drink lots of water.

Don't cram. Get GOOD sleep. No all-nighters. Please

Start studying now. When the week comes, you'll be too stressed to actually study effectively

Take walks. When you get stressed and overwhelmed, take a walk! Get out of your room and head and just walk until you feel better (please be safe though)

Caffeine

Eat something healthy. Not everything has to be healthy. But some foods like salmon, broccoli, whatever. Nourish your body and it'll nourish you back

Save some money so you can take the week off.

Have a relaxing outlet that doesn't take energy. Maybe a cozy game? Latte art?

Play with some animals. This is scientifically proven to reduce stress btw so it's for health reasons

Your finals don't always happen when your classes happen so make sure you triple check dates and times

Feel some sunshine

Get a good Playlist that makes you happy

Try some yoga or something to distract yourself when you wanna cry

Learn how to harvest salt from your tears

If it's a cumulative final, go through past exams and quizzes and stuff. Those tend to cover the "important" material and will likely show up

Make cute study sheets! I know if my notes look boring I CAN'T study

Naps! Bonus if they're with animals

Try to get a study group together and study and chill

Believe in yourself! You got this!!!! You're better than you think and I have full faith in you and your abilities!

If you love the class, study because you love it!

If you hate the class, study so you never have to see that fucking teacher and listen to that stupid class ever again in your entire life.

Make yourself happy, cute drinks and happy, cute meals

Celebrate at the end. Please. You deserve it

Don't let it consume your every waking moment. It's just a test. Just another test

Tell yourself how amazing you are. You're doing something not everyone even gets the chance to. That's super awesome!!!

Eat some cake

Gum and crunchy veggies are both great stress busters

Wilbur we need the ao3 drop like stat

MEN!!! it's spring. crop your shirts

tumblr drives me crackers and not even the salty kind like wet carpet costco crackers why does?
