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.

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

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?

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
