Since I already brought up my university’s chaplain once today, I thought I’d share with you the best advice he ever gave me.
If someone is suffering and you want to help, instead of saying “let me know if there’s anything I can do,” offer a few options of things you know you can do.
“Can I do your dishes while you study for your exam?”
“Would it help if I came to the waiting room with you?”
“I can distract you if you like.”
When someone’s suffering, making them choose how to be helped can sometimes be an extra burden, especially if they don’t know how serious your offer is. By giving examples, they only need to say yes/no, and they know you wouldn’t offer anything too big for you to handle.
gonna expand on this by saying, please don’t offer something you genuinely aren’t prepared to follow through on. I’ve had too many people leave me in the dust in crucial moments that way. Likewise, I’ve also been in the position where I’ve had to do something I wasn’t prepared to do. So: Offer the help you know you can give. Even the little things help.
why do u guys think intrusive thoughts are shit like “hnnhnnnng Ball” its literally like. unwanted thoughts about poisoning dinner guests or killing your children or incest like its not some Fun Haha Relatable Mental Illness feel! its vey stressful and theyre almost impossible to get rid of
In addition to the ones mentioned its also shit like breaking your own bones or gouging your eyes out or weird fucked up sexual shit that you arent into but the thought just comes out of nowhere and you feel disgusted with yourself even though you know you can’t control it and you know rationally you have absolutely no desire to act on these intrusive thoughts but you can’t help but be disgusted with yourself for the intrusive thoughts being there anyways
fashion designers put a halo and wings on a model and call it an ‘angel’ look. where are the wheels within wheels? the multitudes of staring, glowing eyes? the trumpets of rapture? the bloodied swords? where is the fire, the incomprehensibility? the ear-shattering “do not be afraid” that makes the audience fear god and have prophetic visions? extremely unsexy of the fashion industry to not realise what the viewer really wants
What’s the point of a diary if no one is gonna stumble upon it centuries later and fall in love with you after you’re dead?
Is this a vegan thing? Do vegan bones last longer? i’m confused.

Like milk is supposed to be good for ya bones right? But is this like anti-milk/cow product because it stops your bones from coming back to life in the future?
