Looking for self-teachers

Hi friends! I know it’s an odd title so bare with me, I’ll try to explain.

I’m looking for a group/community, or just fellow people, who are not formally enrolled in school but are still “students,” whether it be through free online classes, Youtube videos, etc. Subject does not matter!

Is there a name or tag for this? I’ve been out of the studyblr game for a while so I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve missed something :)

If you know of any studyblr’s who fit this category of self teacher, please let me know! I’d love to connect with other adults who are just trying to become a lil bit smarter in this whacky world.

Thank you in advance; love & miss you all <3

I feel like a lot of people have put immense pressure on themselves to accomplish/achieve something big during this quarantine so they don't "waste" time.

So many posts about how guilty they'll feel if they don't use this time to finally catch up on back-work, clean their house, organize, work, work, work.

Y'all need to remember that we're experiencing a global crisis, and to some degree, I think arguably a global trauma.

Right now, everything is uncertain, the future is vague, and the world is scary. We are all already under so much unprecedented pressure. Pressure to provide for ourselves and others, to stay safe, to keep others safe, etc. etc.

The LAST thing we need is to set ultimatums for our schedules and punish ourselves for not writing a damn book or reorganzing the garage all with the weight of Global Pandemic Crisis weighing on our minds and lives.

The truth is, no one needs to get a damn thing done during all of this except what concerns public health and services.

You don't need to clean the attic. You don't need to reply to all of your emails.

If doing those things makes you feel better, great! Have fun! But if they've become a tool for guilting yourself into being miserably "productive" in these trying times,

Give yourself a break.

tips to get your life back on track after a breakdown™

sleep. your body needs to rest. the average panic attack takes as much energy as running a half-marathon. let yourself rest. take a 20 minute nap. any longer and you’ll hit your REM cycle, and you’ll wake up worse off. after, you’ll feel so much better.
clean something. literally anything. a plate, a drawer, the whole mf bathroom. it doesn’t matter how much or how little. it’ll make you feel more in control, and it’ll make your surroundings more appropriate for recovery.
get some fresh air. even just opening your window for a few hours will help. if you feel up to it, take a walk. take your dog. pick some flowers. cloudgaze. even just sit in your garden for a bit. your body will thrive off of non-stale air.
eat and drink. I know for some people, myself included, this is Hard. it’s alright if all you can manage is a granola bar, or some cereal. anything is progress and will fuel your body. drink water if you can, but anything apart from alcohol will hydrate you.
take a shower. I have clinical depression. have done since I was 12. I know how hard it is to take a shower. but it fucking helps. if you don’t do anything else off this list, do this. it’ll help more than you know.
talk to someone. I can’t stress this enough. humans are social creatures! we crave interaction. even the most introverted introvert needs to talk to someone. call your mom. text a buddy. skype your brother. chat to your local cashier. anything !! you’ll feel less alone, and hopefully get some good serotontitty flowing.
do something fun! same as above, it’ll make u feel so much bette, and provide a distraction. some good options are writing, drawing, watching a movie, dancing - anything you enjoy!
be kind to yourself. it’s okay if you relapsed, or if you had a bad day, or anything else. treat yourself gently. you wouldn’t so harsh to a friend in your situation. it’s gonna be okay.

if you can’t do all of these, it’s okay. there are better days ahead. this, too, will pass.

Are You Dissociating?

shadiobrando:

Dissociating is one of the most common responses to abuse and trauma. It involves feeling numb, detached or unreal and (while it happens to everyone once in a while) is experienced more frequently and severely in survivors. Dissociating people vary widely in symptoms and may experience any or all of the things from the following list:

You may be dissociating if you:

find yourself staring at one spot, not thinking anything
feel completely numb
feel like you’re not really in your body, like you’re watching yourself in a movie.
feel suddenly lightheaded or dizzy
lose the plot of the show or conversation you were focused on
feel as if you’re not quite real, like you’re in a dream
feel like you’re floating
suddenly feel like you’re not a part of the world around you
feel detached and far away from other people, who may seem mechanical or unreal to you
are very startled when someone/something gets your attention
completely forget what you were thinking just a moment ago
suddenly cover your face or react as if you’re about to be hurt for no reason
can’t remember important information about yourself, like your age or where you live
find yourself rocking back and forth
become very focused on a small or trivial object or event
find that voices, sounds or writing seem far away and you sometimes have trouble understanding them
feel as if you’ve just experienced a flashback (perhaps rapidly) but you can’t remember anything about it
perceive your body as foreign or not belonging to you
