if the world ran out of salt tomorrow i woouldnt even notice because i would have lready killed myself a week earlier when my sources informed me of the impending disaster
genuine question: is there any actual evidence that “joking about killing yourself worsens your mental health” or is it one of those perpetually uncited pop-psych things that people say because they are personally uncomfortable with hearing it
Personally, as someone with past suicidal ideation, it’s helped a lot more than I thought it would
Joking about it makes it a pathway in your brain, and it stops being so much of a joke, and starts to be a reaction to say
Cutting out all jokes and statements has had a marked improvement on my mental health
It’s not a random pop-psych thing, it’s very well known in the psych community that the way you talk (and talk to yourself) has an impact on your brain! Your neurochemistry and neural network! It’s Literally In the Cells!
Look into CBT and DBT and literally anything about self-talk and how your thinking affects your mood. I don’t know where my book by the neuroscientist is or I’d cite it right now, but I just moved and still haven’t unpacked all my books.
But even if it wasn’t, you should still care that it makes people uncomfortable. That’s a very heavy topic and it’s honestly not funny.
girl help the eldritch horrors are organising a pride and prejudice party and making us dance to mirror their forbidden and repressed love. yes there is a michael jackson thriller video reenactment outside trying to get in. no yeah i still want that rare doctor who annual
friendship can be so fleeting no wonder humans are so scared to be vulnerable . what do you mean we put our hearts and souls into people only for something as simple as time to rob our bonds … what do you mean some friendships just aren’t meant to last forever?? that sometimes we outgrow people we once knew better than the lines on our palms?? when the version of them we have in our heads becomes outdated, when it means nothing that we know exactly how they take their coffee and why they don’t talk about their brother. that today I mean the world to somebody who might only think of me on my birthday in a years time. what an open fucking wound.
i didn’t have super high hopes for the barbie movie going into complex feminism and political issues or anything considering its made by mattel but the right-wing and male reaction honestly had me really hopeful that i was wrong and that the barbie movie is trying to say something radical. and then i saw the movie and its just like. the most basic boring surface-level feminism movie ever. the most political thing they say is that women have it really rough under the patriarchy which like. yeah obviously. its also extremely nice to men like its clear that the kens turn bad not out of malice but misguidance and ryan gosling ken gets whole musical numbers and a whole arc about finding himself and getting to know ken w/o barbie. even the all-male leadership at mattel is depicted as well-meaning albeit buffoonish at times. so the fact that men and right wing audiences are claiming that the movie is anti-men or is this super radical film is just. incredibly sad to me. like even a movie this non-political with such surface-level corporate feminism is offensive to you? and even the leftists are acting like its revolutionary somehow. if your boyfriend didnt realize how bad women have it before seeing the fucking barbie movie you need to get a new boyfriend. idk. its just disappointing all around to see something as basic as “women have it rough” treated like its a revolutionary concept and it makes me genuinely despair for the future of women that the barbie movie is the most feminism some people have been exposed to. and even that little amount is too much for some people.
emotional impermanence is so funny bc like. i forgot that i am relevant in people’s lives. my friend since i was 10 asked me if i would be in her bridal party and when i burst into tears and thanked her for thinking of me and wanting me to be there she was like “why would i not want you there??? we’ve known & loved each other longer then we haven’t.” and i was like oh yeah. i forgot ab the part where you love me too
