This is rather different from what I usually post, but I figured it might help someone out, so I’ll post it anyway!

I made this comic a while ago when I was feeling uncertain about the labels I use and wanted to remind myself why I identify as ace and how much that’s helped me let go of weights I’ve been carrying for years

Hopefully it helps someone out there!! You’re okay to use whatever label(s) you feel comfortable with, and it’s entirely okay to change your mind!!

“Trying out sex” is not how you confirm or deny your asexuality. It might help you decide whether or not you enjoy sex. It might even help you decide which gender you prefer to have sex with.

But it will not, under any circumstances, confirm someone’s asexuality.

Because asexuality is not about whether or not you like sex. It’s about whether or not you experience sexual attraction.

Stop telling asexual people to “give it a try.” 

Stop questioning asexuals based on their sexual history or lack thereof.

You are missing the point.

this user has depressive moods related to anxiety

life as a hypochondriac:

ear: *rings* me: i wonder if it will be hard to adjust to deafness

eye: *goes blurry for a few minutes* me: time to embrace my life as a blind person

leg: *aches slightly* me: it was nice knowing you, my loyal appendage

head: *throbs* me: tell my dad I’m sorry i couldn’t live past 20

rib: *hurts just a little* me: my final will and testament is underneath my mattress. read it well

stomach: *cramps* me: it was a good life… at least that one day… from about 2:00 to 2:30

Layered thinking

Layer 1: Ugh, my throat hurts, my neck hurts, what if I have a super severe disease that's going to kill me?

Layer 2: Oh, would you look at that, I'm being a paranoid hypochondriac again. I'll just ignore myself.

Layer 3: But wait, isn't pain supposed to be an alarm system to make me aware something's wrong with my body? If I keep ignoring it, won't I end up ignoring something important? WHAT IF THAT'S NOW AND I HAVE A SUPER SEVERE DISEASE THAT'S GOING TO KILL ME?

This user is a hypochondriac 

hypochondriasis

don’t ever make fun of someone who always thinking they’re ill. having this fucking sucks. every headache makes you think you have a brain tumor and same goes with sore throat, stomach ache, cramps. hot flashes? scarlet fever. hearing noises at night? exploding head syndrome, or maybe developing schizophrenia? every thing is a fatal disease. always believing that in any moment in time you could drop causes so much anxiety. so don’t add to the burden by telling someone it’s all in their head.

Fun Facts About Sleep Deprivation!

Now I know this community just loves to keep their whumpees awake for several days on end. But did you know that:

Being awake of 24 hours is equivalent to having a 0.10 blood alcohol content, which can lead to slowed reaction time, loss of coordination, and fainting.

Not sleeping for 48 hours can reduce white blood cells. Which means that a whumpee will get sick easier, and that they'll recover slower.

There's an urban legend that if you don't sleep for 72 hours, you become clinically insane. While that's not true, it can cause hallucinations, false memories, tremors, and physical aches.

After 96 hours, people become paranoid and may develop psychosis. Psychosis that doesn't always fade after they get some rest, may I add.

Consistant partial sleep deprivation will highten risk for illness, injury, and sleep paralysis.

A sudden change in sleeping patters will also heighten risk for sleep paralysis.

Have fun with this information. :)

Oh, and happy new year!

alright look since people don’t seem to understand why maladaptive daydreaming is a big deal here’s a grand list of some of the reasons why.

first off: yes, you little babies, maladaptive daydreaming is often characterized by:

zoning out

“snapping back” to reality

which is often followed by mild alarm and confusion like “what where am i what am i doing whats going on”

seeking emotional satisfaction in daydreams that you didn’t get from real life

it’s often developed due to childhood isolation, not having a lot of friends, having too much time to yourself as a youngling

yep also those bless-ed long car rides

being deeply comforted by music and/or alone time because it means yay daydreaming time

intricate stories that exist inside vivid imaginary worlds (called paracosms) with their own highly developed “characters” (which are called paras, and i hope you’re taking notes) 

constantly looking for an “escape” so you can daydream

repetitive motions to stimulate daydreams such as swinging on a swingset, bouncing up and down, pacing, spinning, etc.

an idealized version of yourself through whose eyes you live out these daydream stories (called parames, like para-me…)

BUT!!!! but but but but but but (and this is the stuff y'all seem to constantly be forgetting/overlooking/not taking seriously) maladaptive daydreaming is also characterized by:

deep and dependent emotional attachments to paras such as intimate friends, lovers, family, and pets that don’t exist

deep guilt due to favoring paras over “real life” (called thisverse) people

a phobia that you will never be able to care about people in thisverse and will therefore be a terrible lover/spouse/parent, etc.

trancelike states where you lose time anywhere between a few minutes to several hours straight without even realizing it until you’ve returned to reality

maladaptive daydreaming steals so. much. time.

withdrawal-like effects if you don’t daydream for a long time (even a day), such as shaking, nausea, agitation, aggression, breakdowns, etc.

you don’t control your daydreams, they do whatever they want to, they are invasive, intrusive, and often unwanted

intense absorption, so when the daydream is exciting you will get an adrenaline rush and your blood gets hot and starts to rush and you sweat and breathe weird and see red and your heart rate goes up. when the daydream is depressing you will cry with real tears and your limbs actually feel heavy

it steals an incredible amount of energy

daydreams are often violent, sexual, and/or disturbing

difficulty focusing, high anxiety

paranoia caused by a feeling that you’re under observation

compulsive behavior (like, “i have to pace right now” even when your feet feel like they’re broken… I’ve often been afraid to look down because i thought i might see blood but i couldn’t stop walking even when it hurt so much that i started crying)

sleeplessness, insomnia, nightmares

suicidal thoughts and tendencies (“maybe if i die, i’ll be with my paras”, “i can’t take it anymore”)

feeling uncomfortable in your body/with your identity (i often have trouble recalling my real name because i’m so used to be my parame’s name, i avoid mirrors because i expect to see my parame’s face and it always catches me off guard)

weight loss or weight gain

appetite loss or appetite gain

dissociation and “out of body” experiences

avoidance and the death of your social life

not being able to feel anything either neg or pos about “real life” things because you’re only concerned with your paracosms

speaking the dialogue out loud or whispering, acting out daydreams

i have seriously been asked if i’m possessed when i got caught daydreaming

it is so painful and so detrimental and it makes our lives difficult, it is not “cute”, it is not “lol relatable”, it  is not “creative”, and it is not “fake”

seeing someone else who has madd:

you’ll always have me. (C.B) (8.7.17)
