Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck

Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.

By Talos this can't be happening

reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.

why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op

I figured out roughly how many notes it's been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023

If we keep it going at this rate we'll be far past 666k

IMPORTANT

Okay so clearly I've underestimated y'all

So how about we make this more interesting?

I will practise self care if this post reaches 666k BY THE END OF 2022

Op you have fuckethed with the devil this post has gained 30,000 notes since I reblogged it last night

OP I hope you are ready to practice some self care because if there's one thing the gremlins of tumblr love it's a challenge.

i normally hate these "oh noo don't give me a ton of notes" posts but this one? this one i love.

posts that have 666k notes TO ME. and hopefully to you, too, OP. 💜

Let's all practice self care if this post hits the magic number…

Op telling us we'll never make it to 666k by the end of 2023 (only having to make it 2022 after all):

I was going to wait until y'all hit the mark, But I feel like I should say this now

When I made this post, it was supposed to be a joke

I mean, none of my posts ever get more than 20 notes if I'm lucky, so what are the odds of one reaching 666k? Impossible, haha

But then, something happened, something I didn't expect

People actually began to... like it? And... reblog? And comment?

Before I knew it, my notifications were swarmed with comments after comments after reblogs after comments all on this one post

Then, still in the mindset of this being a joke, I realised I'd made the goal too easy, so I upped the stakes

But... the notes just got more frequent from there

And it started to hit me just what was happening

For a while, I was overwhelmed with a feeling

A feeling I wasn't used to

It was like... all of a sudden... I mattered...

My existance was actually noteworthy

People actually... cared?

It wasn't a game anymore, it was a race to assure a stranger on the Internet that they were actually worth something

Hundreds of people all gathering in one online place to help out

Leaving messages and well wishes

Making me smile

Making me laugh

Funny comments

Jokes

Fun facts

Even simple comments

It all suddenly felt so real

This was never a joke to you

This was important

And I won't let any of that go in vain

So... stay tuned I suppose

I'll look after myself, and I'll post proof of it too

I'll catalogue every time I put my health first

Physical and mental

I'll acknowledge my bad days and celebrate my good days

But most of all

I won't forget this

Any of this

Ever

(Tagging all the people in that screenshot)

We did it babes we successfully bullied someone into self-care. This is the most Tumblr thing that has ever happened.

Congrats, OP. I'm proud of you!

I'm so happy for OP!

I just spent nearly an hour scrolling through the replies and reblogs with comments on this amazing post and it is like a microcosm of Tumblr.

There are infodumps and shitposts and useful advice and gifs and all sorts of moods and opinions but what's important is that everyone who posted something did it with the intent of getting the notes that little bit closer to the target. And that's beautiful.

Now I'm gonna feed the cat and eat a vegetable.

I’ve had maybe the worse week of my life, and my best friend bought dinner for me tonight just so we could spend time together. And they listened to me complain over and over again about my week. And I’m just so dang thankful.

I finally went to the doctor to express my concerns of my mental health.

I finally had a medical professional tell me that I have severe anxiety and depression.

I finally got on some meds, that made everything worse. I’ve switched meds, but has been a really hard few weeks. I was convinced my new meds were giving me an allergic reaction but that might just be the anxiety.

I finally went to a therapist appointment. I have 3 more scheduled.

I finally admitted to people that things aren’t going well lately, and instead of embarrassment I was expecting… I received gratitude of being honest and for attempting to take care of myself.

I’m finally doing things to help me get better. Because although I’ve learned how to live with myself, I know that I have some unhealthy habits that would be great to break.

Finally.
