Every Time I Listen To “you’re A Mean One Mr. Grinch” I Can’t Help But Sit There And Think “what

You’re not in a coma, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t a coma. No one is trying to wake you up, you’re awake and safe and here right now

You’re not dead, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t the afterlife or hell. You haven’t died, you’re still very much alive, everyone around you is alive, you’re safe and alive on earth right now

You’re not fake, what you’re experiencing right now isn’t a simulation. You’re flesh and blood and so is everyone around you, you’re safe and real and so are they

You aren’t being watched, no one is looking for you and no one can spy on you. You’re safe, no one is spying on you, there aren’t any hidden cameras

You aren’t going to be killed, there is no one trying to kill you or break into your house. You’re safe, everyone is safe, no one is going to hurt you

tbh I don’t even mind getting ads I just have adblocker installed out of spite and spite alone

Excellent thread.

Just keep it in your pocket until you leave

please please please do NOT give up on medicating your adhd because you have a bad experience during your first attempts. finding the right medication/dosage combo takes trial and error, but it can feel like a MIRACLE once you do.

Being medicated isn’t for everyone, but it is a powerful tool in our toolbox. and I am seeing way too many people giving up that option prematurely, because they are unware that:

there are different medication options. they do not all have the same side effects, and not all are amphetamines 

dosage matters. if you are discontinuing bc of side effects, consider trying a lower dose first

a good doctor will be willing to work with you to find a regime that works

finding the right meds/dosage combo will take trial and error. and it will be worth it once you do.

This is a summary of college only using two pictures; expensive as hell.

That’s my Sociology “book”. In fact what it is is a piece of paper with codes written on it to allow me to access an electronic version of a book. I was told by my professor that I could not buy any other paperback version, or use another code, so I was left with no option other than buying a piece of paper for over $200. Best part about all this is my professor wrote the books; there’s something hilariously sadistic about that. So I pretty much doled out $200 for a current edition of an online textbook that is no different than an older, paperback edition of the same book for $5; yeah, I checked. My mistake for listening to my professor.

This is why we download.

While cleaning out my room I found a paper that my therapist gave me some time ago to deal with obsessive and intrusive thoughts. Sorry the paper is a little crinkled and stained, but I figured I’d post it in hopes that it will help someone like it helped me.
