HERE WITH ME // Molly Mendoza

I love 'bad' mentally ill people

I love people who struggle with violent thoughts and urges

I love people with no empathy, who can't 'make up' for it in compassion

I love people who's dissociation makes them flakey and distant

I love people who's mood swings get in the way of making friends

I love people with anger issues, and psychosis, and hypersexuality, and everyone who's ever been seen as 'scary' for their diagnosis or symptoms

HEY OCD RECOVERING PEOPLE THIS POST’S FOR YOU

I’m someone who’s been diagnosed with Mild to Moderate OCD, and currently take SSRIs for meds, but I don’t think my parents will grant me full therapy access, just meds.

Are there any self therapy ways I can do erp(for now until I can afford one)? How does it work? Especially ERP for sexual thoughts cause I get that the most — Like how do I expose myself to the fear of harmful sexual adultery??

ㅤ ㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ!¡like if you use🐸

Finished up an old messy wip. I didn’t wanna fix things so it’s kind of wonky and parts of it bugged me but also it mostly just needed color

babygirl, i’ve got compulsions for things you don’t even think twice about

Unfortunately I am not gaslight gatekeep girlbossing. I am goofy giddy girlcrushing.

Searching in databases tips

▪️Find the appropriate database

Databases examples 📚

• Web of Science: a database indexing articles on the arts, humanities and social sciences

• Scopus: a database listing journal articles in social, health and physical sciences

• PubMed: a database listing publications in life sciences

• JSTOR: a database of books, primary sources and journal articles on a range of subjects

▪️ Choose your search terms carefully

Think carefully about the terms that you type into the search box. Avoid too many search terms, too few search terms, inappropriate search terms, incorrect spelling or not including spelling variations 🤯

▪️ What are you searching?

You may have to use fewer or less specific terms in databases that only search an abstract, brief description or summary of the references 📑

▪️Combine search terms (AND, OR, NOT)

Connectors (sometimes called Boolean operators) are used to combine search terms. There are three connectors: AND, OR, NOT. 

▫️AND placed between words means both words must appear in each reference. This will narrow your search

▫️OR placed between words means that either, or all, word/s may appear in each reference. This will broaden your search

▫️ NOT place between words means that the second word must not appear in any reference

▪️Word variations

Truncate words to retrieve all the alternative terms. It is a good way to save time or ensure you have included all the possible variations 🗄

▪️ Limit or refine your results

Look for the different limit options in the database when you are getting too many results (published in certain years or published in a particular journal) 📅

▪️ Snowballing to locate similar references

Check the list of references or bibliography in any relevant references you have already located. This may point you to other useful references. Some databases support cited-reference searching. This is a technique that allows you to start with one important reference and then find later references that cite it
