My USPS package finally arrived after they tried to deliver it to the town over from me. It was probably an honest mistake.
That isn't my issue with them. This is (after I'd already verified my address):
Me: "The package was attempted delivery at the wrong address.

NOT happy that Failure Swift didn’t use the Grammy’s to speak out against Trump. She wasn’t there because she did have an album in this cycle, but she’s the richest woman in the world and could be doing a lot more.
I hope all that money doesn’t turn her into MAGA.

So, I asked a prominent metal youtuber who posts, with permission, a lot of extreme metal, if they’d be interested in promoting Traumor. They said it’s not really their thing.
I’m not naming them because I don’t want hate sent their way.
Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria sucks. CPTSD again.

Anyone else feel not only that 1) January was the slowest month in human history but 2) it’s been so cold that, in combination with prior trauma, our bodies are trying to hibernate? I’m so compromised that my short term memory is shot and I feel dissociation bcz I can’t get away. CPTSD.

Ok.
I am surrounded by peaceful things. Warm things. Things that want me to be calm and peacefully happy. My plushies want me to be warm and cared for. They love you, inner child.
They are protecting you, and so am I. You are the most special one.

Tonight’s Bruins game really overstimulated me. I’m having to cry and self regulate. And I’ve been home watching the game, not out somewhere.
I’m glad I didn’t get tix to Napalm Death bcz I probably would have gotten even more dysregulated.
CPTSD *really* hurts 😭

It's never too late at night or too early in the morning to check in w/ yourself w/ compassion & realism. Gently but firmly leaning into your authenticity is as important at 12AM as it is at 12PM.
