you need to get it out of your mind that psychosomatic illness is just “making up symptoms” when it’s actually much more like your body is being actively poisoned by chemicals released from your brain

if you’re so stressed that you’re puking your guts up every morning, are unable to eat or keep anything down, you can’t look at light without feeling infinitely worse and feel exhausted and in pain all the time (or whatever your particular stress induced symptom set is) you’re not just feeling like that because you’ve willed it into being. your body is begging for relief from the constant barrage of stress hormones and it requires the fundamental source of stress to go away, not just distracting yourself from the symptoms

just because the root is psychological doesn’t mean the result isn’t an entirely physical process.

This and also "your body is desperately trying to alert you to the fact that stress is killing you"

if you’re happy for literally any reason no matter how “small” or “stupid” you’re winning in this world as far as I can tell

caring for little plants? old video game? a cat you love? a silly tv show? Isn’t it great when people know what causes them joy and they embrace it?

here is my adulting advice: find a recipe that includes a small amount of wine (French and Italian recipes are especially good for this ime but there are plenty of options). DO NOT buy "cooking wine." buy a good wine, by which I mean a wine in your price range that is appropriate to the recipe--sweet red, dry white, w/e--and sounds good to you. if it's $8 and you like it, that counts. measure out however much you will need for your recipe at the start. then pour yourself a glass of the wine. drink it as you cook. play some music--NOT through your headphones. let your music mix with the ambient noise of the place where you live. dance a little while you move through your kitchen--flick your wrist with dramatic flair as you add your ingredients. make sure you preserve at least one full glass of your wine to enjoy with your dinner when it's done.

seriously, my friends, the amount of joy this adds to the cooking process cannot be overstated.

do y’all remember before direct messages tumblr had a dumbass ask limit of 10 per hour and communication was impossible until they introduced dumbass fan mail and we were basically sending telegraphs back in forth trying to communicate those were…dark times

Do y'all remember when they finally gave us direct messages and instead of doing it normally, they gave it to a few people at a time and we had to infect each other with it like a virus

remember when any post with more than like 6 people talking was unreadably smushed except for the last few additions remember when any post of over 500 characters became a link back to op’s blog readmore style remember when video and audio posts had about a 10% chance of working when you click play

As a recent user I love finding out shit like this from older users. What the fuck guys???? Why were you USING IT AT ALL?!??

believe it or not, we liked that more

its worth noting that immediately after these updates that made everything better, we were all angry about it

I think people have truly lost any ability to be patient with storytelling.

‘I don’t understand this’ They’ll explain it if you wait.

‘I don’t like how this episode left things hanging’ There’s a continuation next week.

‘This character is flat’ Wait for them to be fleshed out.

So many of the complaints I see about shows lately are people being confused by things THAT THE SHOW WANTS YOU TO BE CONFUSED BY THATS THE FUN OF MYSTERY AND FORESHADOWING YOU ABSOLUTE GOBLINS THE MAIN CHARACTER IS ALSO CONFUSED AND THEYRE GONNA DO A BIG REVEAL AND EXPLANATION LATER IF YOU WOULD JUST FUCKING WAIT

a gentle fact about this world is that people will want to help you. a cruel fact about it is that you do have to put on your big boy pants and open their contact on your phone and say some human words to ask them for it
