And then you melt down because you're very, very, very sorry and you know it's not a big deal but your brain is making you grovel and beg for forgiveness and you're sorry for acting like this and it's weirding everyone out and now you're sorry about that too, and now all your friends have run away and you're alone and sorry you made them run away.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 27 points 3 months ago

Hey. Get the fuck out of my head.

[-] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 10 points 3 months ago

Heh, if it sounds suspiciously specific it's because I went through that recently. I'm doing better now tho!

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 months ago

First 30 years of my life were like this. Now I categorically don't give a fuck about much.

Be inconvenienced, bitch lol

[-] VoilaChihuahua@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Well maybe that's why I ran out of my exercise class tearing up because I bumped into another person. And leaving abruptly made everything 100xs worse. Which I know it really didn't. But also yes I looked insane and that person is right to hate me now. So now I can never exercise there again just to be safe.

Me: YOU ARE BEING COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE! Brain: I KNOW, AND I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD BECAUSE OF IT

I touched grass, give me my fucking dopamine. We had a deal!

Mental health recovery journey in a nutshell: don’t do what you want, do what your brain needs. Some day you will actually want that thing AND it will still help your brain! What? Didn’t you read the brain manual?

(Assistant leans in) “sir, we never figured out how to do those brain manuals”

…well good luck. Oh and you’ll want to find the right medication to give you a fighting chance. That should only take a couple years.

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

All the random bold words make this physically painful to read.

[-] Track_Shovel@slrpnk.net 9 points 3 months ago

I'm so sorry.

[-] BlemboTheThird@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

There's so many it had me second guessing whether they were actually bold or my eyes were fucking with me

[-] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 1 points 3 months ago

Agreed. I found it incredibly distracting. Overall still a good post.

[-] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

The unique trait of neurodivergent people is that they think about their brain as a separate entity

[-] leds@feddit.dk 9 points 3 months ago

It is just that neurotypicals are still living in the matrix

[-] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 months ago

Everyone does that…?

[-] Tehdastehdas@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Whoever separates matter and arrangement, hardware and software.

Lizard brain ruined the mind's day.

[-] SynopsisTantilize@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

It kinda is, isn't it?

[-] repungnant_canary@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

It just raises interesting questions about our consciousness if we can kinda observe from "outside" our brain's behaviour

[-] leds@feddit.dk 2 points 3 months ago

You're pretty close to the yoga concept of a witness that observes the mind https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakshi_(witness)

[-] Freefall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Sounds like disassociation.

[-] yogurtwrong@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

we have a love/hate relationship

[-] SolNine@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

Other people don't? It is a separate entity in many ways, from my understanding there are portions of the brain that react much more like an organ than what we perceive as our "consciousness.". I was actually taught to separate myself from my brain the "organ" and how it responds to situations differently than I would prefer haha

[-] Akuji@leminal.space 1 points 3 months ago

TIL I might be neurodivergent 😅

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

And one day, brain did shut up for good and started to follow reason's evaluations of these kind of situations. And I hope it will happen to those needing this.

[-] photonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 months ago

How can one learn this power?

[-] needthosepylons@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

For me it was a strange and unintended cocktail of the lowest point of a depression (crisis state and constant dissociation), quitting an addiction and reading a book and declaring it was my new existential guideline. It was a philosophy book. Spinoza's ethics.

Recipies may vary to suit different tastes.

[-] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

For me it was finding people who cared about me, which gave me the self-esteem to ignore bullies (including the bully-informed “voice” in my head)

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

This is me every single time I have gotten a job rejection email since the election. Every single time.

"You suck and no one will ever hire you and you will be stuck in this country and watch people get marched into camps."

[-] Atrichum@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

I haven't even started applying yet but this is how I've felt and thought too.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

It feels like all I do is apply. And then notice something about my CV or the cover letter that I just sent and realize it could have been better and then say, "well fuck, I'm not going to get that job, am I?"

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

RSD my behated

[-] AbsoluteChicagoDog@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Why is it trendy to bold random words in text now? Just for emphasis?

[-] cactopuses@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Absolutely excessive but it appears they at least used it mostly correctly to emphasize key areas.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 0 points 3 months ago

Go look at any Tumblr blog post screenshot for like a decade ago. This isn't new.

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Man this hits close. It's a long battle but that voice does go away with age and effort.

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Fuck that brain guy, you don't need his drugs.

[-] DragonsInARoom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago
