Mental health talk, mostly really positive and trying to be helpful
Reminding myself that I'm doing much better mentally than I used to be.
And that it's a common long term side effect of a BAD mental health time to have those thoughts still run into your mind at structured times.
It's common for the brain, while in a horrific place, to overwrite neural paths to change how you react to stimulus. Most of this is to protect you and is a defensive manuver, but some is just useless. Like .... I feel worthless and think about how useless I am everytime I start to fall asleep, among other.... Darker.... Things.
I don't like this, but literally the second I turn off my lights, I get self depreciating.
I am healing. And that includes fixing those neural paths.
It takes time to rewrite your brain. And you need to be patient. It's completely normal and doesn't mean that you're back in that bad place. As long as you remember it's a learned reaction or habit that just hasn't been kicked yet.
I will one day not slide into depression as soon as I go to bed.
And I know I'm not still in that deep place
So I'll be okay.

Being Plural is a Trip, I'll tell you. Anyhow. what are your thoughts about Powered Rotor VSTOL gyrocopters?
@MapleDeer Funny, I'm a Witch, and my friend's a Witch and we both wanna learn to build Ultralight aircraft.
@MapleDeer Life comes at you fast.
⛔ A conviction
They will never test enough. They will never care enough.
Most political history taught today can be summed up with the phrase "These white men are dangerous."
And they keep clawing over themselves, keeling themselves, each other, and everyone else to prove it, like we don't believe it.
I'm tired. They all should lick each other's asses and die.
@hache In my experience, Yes.
@hache I figured that was a Given, it's a game about Kobolds.

@Caudle Hyper-empathetic autistic. I am too, it can suck.
Combine it with Synathesisia and you can get the 'Seeing Auras' thing. Also, tracks with Werewolf syndrome.
And shapeshifters in general. When you're a hyper-empath, you tend to just Be The Thing People Want Without Anyone Knowing.
