thinking about edvard munch's "The Sun" (1911)

like yeah thats how it feels. thats what it feels like to exist sometimes. he gets it

Also very big! Takes up two stories!

the whole underlying issue with psychiatric drugs is not whether they are truly Good or Bad, it’s the human right to bodily autonomy. the nuances of the issue become much clearer when you aren’t stuck in the weeds of moralizing psych diagnosis & treatment per se or trying to come to ontological conclusions about whether diagnoses are “real” or not. the DSM provides a deeply flawed and hierarchical framework for describing and organizing often very real human experiences for which people need support from other humans and sometimes chemicals. if you get too lost in the social machinations of diagnosis or committed to some wrongheaded idea that anyone who believes they need psych meds to survive is some kind of idiot capitalist bootlicker then you end up with extremely reductive views like “psych drugs bad!” or “psych drugs good!” When really what matters is that people have the power to make their own decisions about their own bodies/minds.

In my schooling which is very mental health heavy, they always try and push medication as a complete good or bad, and make you pick one. This is specifically with children and youth, who already struggle to have autonomy over their choices, especially youth experiencing mental health difficulties with unsupportive parents.

There’s so many other factors that lead to bad experiences with medication that I feel like people don’t acknowledge, like doctors just prescribing any depression medication, but not taking the time to fully assess you. My psychiatrist had 3 hour long appointments with me before deciding what we should start trying with medication. I got prozac, which got me out of the hole enough that I could do therapy and get improvement out of it. Medication can be so important with a holistic approach!

A DSM based diagnosis helped me get non psychiatric doctors to believe my mental health issues, and to get me accommodations in school. It’s served me well, but my psychiatrist still approached my symptoms and experience as opposed to a textbook case of depression/anxiety/ptsd (especially since he wanted to diagnose me with CPTSD, which the dsm keeps failing to recognize).

Every so often I rediscover roasting vegetables and go absolutely feral for that shit. Turn into a fucking little bean roaster for that shit.

Got my oven at 425 got my green beans tossed with oil and seasoning got myself standing there like the Sicko in the Window going Yes Yes Yes

How does tumblr feel about Primrose

Took me years to understand the "why the long face" punchlines to "so a horse walks into a bar" jokes because I just thought that's a normal sized face to have if you're a horse. It never occurred to me to judge a horse by the standards of man

every day i think about the cat on twitter who looks more like a scheming eunuch than any creature has ever looked

monkey i love you beloved little freak i would die for you

UNREAL

mouiller remains one of my favourite french words. they’re so right, that is wet, and not just wet but sloppy wet. a puddle with slimy thick algae. moouuuuuyay

not normie enough to fit in but not fringe enough to lean into being a freak, worst of both worlds, pure liminality, just the weird coworker, and unrelatable classmate. and your mutual
