What’s wrong with Tony Mortimer’s face, japes?
PS hello, just seen I have a training zoom webinar in just over an hour. fmlllll.
Morning DiS
I’ve had two work zoom calls already, so I’ve had to be dressed for them. Maybe I’ll just have to go trouserless for the rest of today’s meetings.
Shorts and possibly a BODEGA tee for today’s outfit - currently still abed
Slept like crap, quite a lot of work to do, hmmm
Little wave of people on social media using ‘feeling anxious sometimes’ as a weapon to scald others with by suggesting they are suffering with a mental illnesses
This is the kind of thing that boils my blood - my wife has proper terrifying anxiety that I’ve seen wrench her body with seizure panic attacks, so friends using it as a ‘this is why I haven’t texted you back’ meme is making me want to get aggro
Just posting this here so I don’t accidentally tell friends and family to go fuck themselves
Same. Crushing a load of cardboard at the same time which ruins the ambience a little.
ive got a car and feel like going swimming this afternoon. what time can you be here?
took the day off to sort of my CV and start applying for jobs
so far I’ve:
- opened my CV document
- had tea and toast
- started a troll thread
- arranged some spotify playlists
- had a look at my last.fm
- put a wash on
- brought the bins in
That’s fine, it’s a process
Not saying this is the case for your friends, but in my experience: I do share those “this is why I haven’t done x” memes sometimes, sometimes I get in a self-hate spiral about what I think is laziness but then I’m reminded that actually, it’s one more little symptom of a condition I’ve had since I was 12. And it calms me down a bit (and usually spurs me on to actually do the things I was putting off) But that’s not the be all and end all of my anxiety and depression, obviously there’s a lot of other stuff I don’t post to Instagram or talk about on DiS, you know?
would raccoons not scratch fuck out you
not sure about this
And hugely productive!

thing is, i fully, strongly agree with eg ‘don’t push yourself to do x or y, you’re only human’ stuff. because that’s extremely correct. when i’m masochistic to go and look at the anxiety-specific post itself though, it’s always, always an account that barrels headlong into pseudoscience about being an empath etc… and for me there’s something belittling about everyone believing themselves to be suffering from acute anxiety when i’ve seen it cripple friends and loved ones. it’s no different to when people used to describe themselves as being ‘a bit OCD or autistic’ you know? like… no, you’re not
(not ‘you’ obv)
i guess i’m saying it burns my toast that those people like yourself who actually suffer are being used as a pop holistic science meme
