using this as my priv
me: i feel like i’m not enough. i feel like i’m wrong

everyone: don’t feel like that. do dbt

dbt: you’re not doing it enough. you’re doing it wrong

me: ok

i’m sorry but i feel like i’ve been pointing and screaming, “it’s not my fault!! everything else sucks!!” and everyone just points me to DBT, which says, “yes, everything sucks. you can’t change that. stop thinking about it. just think positively and take deep breaths.” i’m ?????

i’m still reeling from this like while i understand that some amount of belief is necessary for a coping skill to be effective, i felt like she was saying, “this does work actually, YOU’RE just not letting it work, it’s YOUR fault, it’s YOUR thinking,” and it made me feel unheard and gaslit tbh
IOP therapist: sounds like you need some coping skills

me: i’ve tried a lot but they don’t work

therapist: they don’t work bc you think they don’t work

no bro they don’t fucking work, if i try to make a broken machine work and it doesn’t then it’s delusional to just Believe in it and try again

i think some people think my problem is that i strive for perfection and then i feel like a failure if i don’t meet my own high expectations, but i don’t think that’s quite it. it isn’t that i’m trying to get an A, it’s that i don’t think i’m even making a C

new IOP therapist was like, “you put too much energy into being a good mom” i’m sorry like are you telling me that in order to take care of myself more, i have to be worse of a mom for my son? bc like why in the world would i do that

i’ve been on the internet a lot more than usual lately, and i’ve discovered that there are a lot more badly designed websites than i thought there were… it is apparently so easy to just make a bad website

i vented on the seattle single moms fb group about how hard it all is, and one mom was like, “have you tried asking your friends and family for help?” you stupid fucking idiot of course i have but they won’t help, why do you think i’m venting online to a bunch of strangers

i feel like schools take an entire year to build a new building but this church across the street from my house was built overnight?? like it legitimately went from grass to a sign to an entire building in the span of days. i guess churches are easier to build or something??

every single person i’ve talked to about my abusive ex has been shared that they’ve also had an abusive ex, and i’m like damn why have we all had this?? that sucks

i’m at a research center to see if i’m eligible for a clinical trial for adults with depression. i’m pretty sure i don’t qualify bc i’m on like a million meds but they said i should still come in and get checked… maybe ill get some money for being depressed!!

[cw domestic abuse] i think twitter algorithm figured out i’m a domestic abuse survivor and it’s showing me a bunch of domestic abuse tv clips which IS interesting to me but they’re all so fake like the guy is never publicly abusive guys he keeps a perfect shining happy face in public

that maga dad who shot his daughter… i know not all girldads are terrible but i feel like some men should not be girldads… my brother asked my dad how he’d feel if an older man said his daughter is sexy, and my dad said he’d take it as a compliment. i was like damn i wish i’d never been born

[cw suicide] as someone who has attempted suicide 3x, i hate that people freak out if you try to kys and there are programs to convince you not to kys but there isn’t enough focus on how someone gets to that mental place to begin with. it’s all just cushioning a fall rather than preventing the climb
February 10, 2026 at 3:28 PM
omfg someone new joined group therapy today and they talk SOOOO MUCHHHH that the facilitator isn’t even able to get anything done omfg

i’m sorry but like truly wtf are you supposed to do when you want to die like people will tell you to see a therapist who will refer you to a hospital which will house you for 5 days max before sending you back out like ??? really??? is that the only thing we can do here??
February 6, 2026 at 10:46 PM
ever since i started this IOP i’ve just felt very stupid and silly like just showing this stupid vulnerable side of me in front of strangers they’re probably all thinking i’m stupid too ugh
February 6, 2026 at 6:07 PM
i know this will get me assassinated but reading the persona 5 manga—which strips the p5 experience of gameplay, music, and UI, leaving only story and art—this story is kinda…….. stupid? bfjwbxkqbx

ok here me out so a few students in 1st period put together a gift basket on my last day of school, which was very sweet of them, but it was filled with all sorts of stuff that i don’t use or eat which would have just gone in the trash anyway, so i gave it all away to other students

lately i have been feeling really like “i feel like i’m forgetting something…” but i’m like pretty sure there’s nothing??

i think it’s bc i’m usually Always Doing Something so when i’ve run out of things to do i’m like “… suspicious…”
