🛌
particularly when your anxiety induced insomnia is making you think about stupid hypotheticals- I love being like “im sorry you feel that way even though it’s absolutely ridiculous. Like I’m sure you BELIEVE that someone cares enough to get into the second floor, through multiple locked doors, past your dog that barks at the wind and anyone that so much as approaches the door, and kill you. I just think you might be on your period or something” and then I remember my brain is being a little dumb and actually it’s okay to recognize that anxiety is straight up goofy sometimes

anticipation is really good at making our brains go to dark places. one thing that has helped me with my anxiety is to sit silently and let those thoughts arise naturally. when they arise i imagine myself in a little bubble and i gently place the thoughts outside of my bubble. it feels kinda silly but visualization helps to give those thoughts a shape and physically remove them from my space.

I deal with a sort of lack of emotional object permanence. If my friends haven't shown or said they like me recently, I easily convince myself they never did. And if it's been a while since I've done something scary, I worry I don't have it in me to do so, even forgetting that I ever did. And I forget how well things typically go, especially after something bad has happened. It's hard not to feel like since my anxiety was right about this big thing going really badly, then it's going to be right about everything. But it's not!! It rarely is!! And if it is, I can deal with that!! Life moves on! It's never that bad!

I was going through the Ignatian approach to education today (adapted from the Spiritual Exercises for those keeping track at home) and this tenet is just so good.
St. Ignatius says that a person, “ought to be more eager to put a good interpretation on a neighbor’s statement than to condemn it.Further, if one cannot interpret it favorably, one should ask how the other means it. If the meaning is wrong, one should correct the person with love; if this is not enough, one should search out every appropriate means through which, by understanding the statement in a good way, it may be saved.”
This is very Hanlon’s razor (never attribute to malice what you can attribute to stupidity/ignorance) and I just feel like having a curious posture like this is a major slay and makes us better people

Like look at this shit. Just kinda sick tbh. The Eastern church invented maximalism which is just very slay for them (even if you aren't into God or whatever I feel like you can enjoy old buildings with tons of art everywhere)
