If you have a hard time understanding your own thoughts and feelings and struggle to articulate them to others... you may want to look into Alexithymia. It's a brain wiring difference that makes it hard for people to understand and articulate what they're thinking and feeling. ❤️

The righteous might be in trouble…

Lava lamp bulbasaur anyone?

Them: You don't look autistic Me: My autism doesn't really look like anything. It's mainly just me being anxious about things. Can't eat safe food. Anxious. Someone too close to me. Anxious. Have to do small talk. Anxious. Them: You don't look anxious Me: I hide it REALLY well

I got to a point in my recovery where I realized I was going to struggle on either side of the working my recovery/not working my recovery fence-- but I'd rather struggle w/ trying to achieve my goals & live my values, than struggle w/ my bullies, abusers, or past controlling me.

You & I are not perfect, & it's not our job to try or pretend to be. Our job is to identify what we can realistically do, today, to live congruently w/ our values & goals-- & that's gonna involve course correcting, making amends, & radical acceptance. Easy does it.

Trauma responses are often not "all or nothing." You'll get "flashes" of fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or flop-- & those "flashes" connect back to parts of yourself that are still healing & in need of support as reliably as the full-on, paralyzing versions of those responses.

You are trying your best today w/ the tools & resources you have-- not the ones you wish you had-- & that means you're doing it right. Don't get in your head. "Perfect" is the enemy of realistic, doable, & cumulative. Just focus on the next baby step. They'll add up.

Working to become less economically or emotionally dependent upon a person doesn't mean you're "ungrateful." It means you acknowledge the importance to your safety, self-esteem& trauma recovery of not feeling trapped or controlled.

Realistic, sustainable trauma recovery is never, ever, about diving into memories you're not stable or safe enough to process just for the sake of "getting it all out." "Recovery" or therapy that does not prioritize pacing & containment is retraumatizing & counterproductive.

Trying physical painting for the first time in ages. Acrylic on canvas board. Its of my sister and her husband on their wedding day

I'm watching The Secret World of Arrietty for the first time and losing my mind! The big tree in the beginning has been my desktop background for so many years, and I never knew where it was from!

It's disheartening how much I see people holding others to the impossible standard of being perfect. There's no room to make mistakes without people coming after you with pitchforks. And every little (perceived) misstep is treated like it's the most offensive crime to ever be committed. I hate it.

Making amends w/ the "parts" of ourselves we've been conditioned to ignore or belittle is an ongoing part of daily recovery for many trauma survivors. Self-forgiveness & understanding is way more important to realistic recovery than understanding or forgiving our perpetrators.

Link remembers what happened on Eventide Island... and not in the good way. 😱 💀

was tuning into personacon and got to listen to megan's interview~ thank you so much for voicing sophia and ringo!

i should finish this sometime... #omori #art

FYI- the recent update seems to have broken embeds when linking posts externally. You can fix this by replacing bsky.app links with fxbsky.app links!

Survivors of abuse & neglect have been taught, every day, in ever way, to question, invalidate, and/or fear almost every feeling & need we experience. Realistic trauma recovery begins w/ noticing & resisting our conditioned reflex to sh*t on what we feel & what we need.

I’m going to take a few more spaces for these as there’s necessities I need to get. Like sandals for the summer. I’m wearing out my winter boots. So let me know if you’d like a $50 full body commission. It would help a lot.

LIES OF P DLC OUT 5 REAL????? time to celebrate by reposting >:)))) #art #liesofp #digitalpainting #soulslike

It's common to feel "stupid" when we've opened up to someone, & gotten coldness or sarcasm in response. You need to know their" inability to respect & respond to your vulnerability is about them, not you-- not your intelligence, or your sensitivity, or your desire for connection.

Our "parts" will come to trust us to the extent we prove to them our willingness & ability to be honest w/ ourselves about what we're feeling & what we need. That kind of honesty can be scary, & might feel unfamiliar due to old conditioning-- but you can do this. Really.
