I want to make counselors aware of a resource for survivors of many types -- mental health, trauma, and more.

LIVE, Dammit (Previously Survivors' Haven): https://livedammit.com/

"A mental health support site with stories, tools, a free e-course, bookstore & inspiring wearables—for stubborn souls doing the work to stay here, stay human, & stay strong."

The website allows survivors to share stories of struggle and endurance, features in-depth articles and interviews, uplifting quotes, links to outside resources, and more.

They are also on Bluesky at:
https://bsky.app/profile/livedammit.bsky.social

I have added them to my Mastodon Psych Bot news feed at:
https://mastodon.clinicians-exchange.org/@psychbot

Thanks,
Michael

Boundaries and rules, by Generic Art Dad

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZTmioO0TXls

You should respect someone's #boundaries even if you think you're being nice.

Gifts make me anxious and panicky at first, as growing up they were used to manipulate me.

I have been seeing someone and she has been paying for dates as I'm broke.

She noticed my screen was cracked, and got me a phone, which I turned down, and she kept insisting I take it until I panicked and had to leave.

She's been texting me apologizing, and I don't know what to say as I'm embarrassed.

I've been doing more healing work to recover from being abusively #blindsided by a jealous woman who I have never even met but had attempted to psychologically #blackmail my companion, after faking being nice to me. I never expected to be #suckerpunched by a woman I've never even met in person. It shook me. It traumatized me. It was NOT OK.

Never ever defend #abusive people who have violated #boundaries multiple times & harmed multiple people, intentionally.

"While I am responsible for changing what I can, I have to let go of the rest if I want peace of mind. Just for today I will love myself enough to give up a struggle over something that is out of my hands." - Courage to Change (Al-Anon), pg. 129

A quotation from Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Categorizing is necessary for humans, but it becomes pathological when the category is seen as definitive, preventing people from considering the fuzziness of boundaries, let alone revising their categories.

Nassim Nicholas Taleb (b. 1960) Lebanese-American essayist, statistician, risk analyst, aphorist
The Black Swan, Part 1, ch. 1 “The Apprenticeship of an Empirical Skeptic” (2007)

Sourcing, notes: wist.info/taleb-nassim-nichola…

And i will feel guilty about this for weeks.

It's Monday. Hope y'all are having a day! ("Have a good day" seems like a lot of pressure in these times.)

I wrote a thing about
euphemism
the Left
doge
Musk
the destruction of the commons
and trauma.

Here's the first part:

I had to cut off an acquaintance this morning. He kept asking me for money. I gave him $200 over the last two years. I asked him politely to stop, but money was literally the ONLY time he'd text me. And what did he do this morning? He asked me for money again, taking advantage of my generosity.

I feel like utter shit. But this was necessary. I am trying to learn to stick up for my boundaries. This is a 180 from my usual tactics. All this is new and scary. But I'm doing it.

If I feel bad about myself when comparing my beauty to that of others on social media, and if it harms me emotionally, then I don't have to return their likes or interactions, right? It's the same as not having to pay for unnecessary or even harmful unapproved things, for example. #MentalHealth #SocialMedia #Boundaries #SelfCare #Wellbeing

Tips: kaebecomyn.rad

How to make friends with ponies in 3 easy steps:

1. Put out the hay in multiple piles so the ponies have choices.

2. Sit next to a hay pile like you’re having a picnic.

3. When the ponies come up to share your picnic spot, resist the monkey-instinct to pat them. Sharing a hay pile may not seem like you’re doing much, but you came here for 3 easy steps, didn’t you?

Actually, the ponies find it pretty meaningful to peacefully share a good snack spot. That doesn’t stop Abner from rudely sticking his face in Abigail’s face just to see if she still likes him enough to tolerate his more annoying behaviors sometimes. Just like sometimes, I don’t manage to resist the urge to pat. And I see in their expressions that they would often prefer if I sat there quietly and kept my hands to myself.
