I don't fucking get brains and their defeatist attitude towards getting help. Like, the answer to 'I should take my meds so I feel less like death' shouldn't be 'but what if we died instead'?

@makyo I've taken to externalizing this as depression/anxiety/etc as separate entities with survival instincts. So they tell me I don't want to do things that are good for me bc that would be bad for them. So it becomes about learning to separate my own thoughts from "depression survival instinct" thoughts

@makyo I'm sorry you're struggling. It's shitty and awful and brains needed more beta testing.

@AzureHusky That's...a really good idea :O I'm gonna have to give that some thought.

@makyo I'm happy to talk coping strategies and such if ever wanted! The struggles are legit and brains are tricky 💙
