you need to get it out of your mind that psychosomatic illness is just “making up symptoms” when it’s actually much more like your body is being actively poisoned by chemicals released from your brain

if you’re so stressed that you’re puking your guts up every morning, are unable to eat or keep anything down, you can’t look at light without feeling infinitely worse and feel exhausted and in pain all the time (or whatever your particular stress induced symptom set is) you’re not just feeling like that because you’ve willed it into being. your body is begging for relief from the constant barrage of stress hormones and it requires the fundamental source of stress to go away, not just distracting yourself from the symptoms

just because the root is psychological doesn’t mean the result isn’t an entirely physical process.

This and also “your body is desperately trying to alert you to the fact that stress is killing you”

see this is a perfect example of what not to do with a hate ask.

  • poorly matched to hate target: the suicide bait is a classic of anon hate, but it’s a rookie mistake to deploy it against just anybody. any careful look at my blog would see that i am incredibly egotistic–using a hate tactic better suited to a blogger with low self esteem is just sloppy.
  • too generic to sting: this ask mentions no specific details about any problematic behaviour, annoying personality traits, or my personal life. since it feels like it could have been sent by anyone to anyone, it’s difficult to take it personally.
  • cultural mismatch: ‘cunt’ probably comes across a lot harsher in your cultural context. however, i live in the UK, so i get called and call other people a cunt every day. as such, you’re left with a lackluster ending for a very weak ask overall.

F. see me after class
