@Chip_Unicorn I can’t, I won’t, that’s for real artists who make good things
@wolfe congrats!
re: mental health, meh
@kistaro I know our brains work differently, so this might be of limited use to you *but* what really kept me playing out self hate was;
* gave me a seemingly actionable distraction from what was upsetting me ( I could work on "fixing" myself, or suddenly instead of this unaffected thing upsetting me I was trying to step myself back from suicidal upset)
* directed any angry response inwards so it was less likely visible and punishable
* familiarity/what I was being told about myself
I'm wondering about that first part in particular as something you might have?
It's always perspective to hear a small child have a complete meltdown. When you're 4, you're still feeling out things like having emotions, and you do NOT know that this isn't the only time you can get to play in this playroom, or that there might be other brownies to eat, etc, and it would be really easy for the adult around to really lose it and slam down. Everyone born human is potentially on a collision course with completely terrible emotional baggage.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
