Sometimes the worst thing about chronic illness and mental illness is not just the pain and limitations but how you are perpetually perceived as not trying hard enough when in reality you’re doing your damndest and pushing through and your best isn’t enough for people going through less who can’t imagine that it’s really that bad and don’t see all the behind-the-scenes work or the multiple obstacles in your body and mind and it’s just been a theme pretty much my entire life, it’s so traumatic it wears you down and it’s honestly fucking violence against us but the people who inflict it choose not to see it that way because it’s easier for them to assume they’re just stronger or wiser

“Next time you date someone and find yourself feeling anxious, insecure and obsessive - only to feel elated every once in a while - tell yourself this is most likely an activated attachmentnt system and not love! True love, in the evolutionary sense, means peace of mind.” Amir Levine, M.D. & Rachel S.F. Heller, M.A. Attached.

Me: …The hell is it called the ‘drawing room’ for? Was drawing really such a wide-spread hobby, and if so, why do I never see any art equipment in the reconstructions of any of these rooms?

Historian, curator and documentary presenter Dr Lucy Wosley: Actually it was originally called the ‘withdrawing room’, as in the place one withdrew to, and where only family and important guests were allowed to enter. The name got shortened over time.

Me: Oooooohhhh

Remember to change your clocks on Sunday and your government on Tuesday.

Dyscalculia is a learning disability, a lot like dyslexia, but with math and numbers. Everyone knows what dyslexia is, but for some reason, dyscalculia isn’t as well known. I want people to know about this so no more kids are gonna believe uneducated adults who tells them that they’re just lazy and no more kids are going to think they’re just hopeless idiots when they try and try but just can’t understand. It happened to me, and I won’t let it happen to anyone else.

It’s surprisingly common and is often linked to ADHD. If you’ve ever had issues, look it up - you might find things fall into place for you, too.

I can’t even comprehend what it might be like being a human who doesn’t have all of these characteristics. I don’t know how a brain can possibly just “remember” how to do long division or know what ten feet looks like.

I can’t even accept that a car is more than like nine feet long. Ours is fifteen feet long, and even standing next to it, my brain is POSITIVE it’s small enough to fit in a bathroom.

This is the most me thing I’ve ever read on this site. I can’t read analog clocks I can’t recall number sequences etc.

I remember reading a book where a character had this and my whole life fell into place. Being the kid of people who work with math a lot (Mom was a math major for crying out loud) and being ‘bad at math’ sucked. I never understood why I couldn’t do what everyone in my class could. 

Sadly, I didn’t figure this out until after I was out of school.

Oh, friend.

Okay, one time Colin Morgan and I needed to get past each other in one of the fuck-off, labyrinthian, behind-the-scenes hallways every con seems to have for some reason. So I smile all polite-like as you do, and he smiles back which is already a bit of a shock because the last time I saw this dude was in the Merlin pilot episode and he was a gangly NERD:

Instead I’m faced with THIS:

Look at those buttons! Look at them! The only reason you can’t hear their cries for help is I’m groaning louder!

Anyway, here I am crossing paths with this six-foot, blue-eyed, British wet dream and I don’t know exactly what my face does but it must be something because his smile goes sort of playfully knowing—the utter bastard—and then—then—the fucker winks at me. 

I shit you not I nearly fell over.

And that’s the story of how I very nearly swooned like a victorian maiden over an actor whose shows I don’t even watch.

This will always be my favourite post on this damn website.

Because he might pretend to act all innocent.

But he knows.

He fucking knows.
