“if you can’t brush your teeth that’s fine uwu one step at a time” posts are supportive and that’s great but I’m about to have a 4.4k$ dental bill because I wasn’t taking care of my teeth when I was super depressed so uhh brush your fuckin teeth
the reason I bring up those posts is because every time I saw one I felt less and less bad about not brushing them and when my teeth actually started causing problems it made my MH worse because I was having horrible anxiety about my teeth getting worse and now I’m facing procedures that will probably be pretty painful and will definitely be expensive so I kinda got some beef with the anti-recovery culture on this site
switch up the language a little.
didn’t brush your teeth this morning? forgive your past self and do it now!
woke up at 3am and realize you didn’t brush your teeth before bed? 11pm you was tired, forgive yourself, and just do it now!
“it’s okay” DOES lose helpfulness when you forget that it’s supposed to mean “don’t beat yourself up about mistakes, and don’t let it keep you from doing something different.”
present you and future you don’t have to suffer just bc past you slipped. past you was going through it. give them a break. but, please, don’t let that stop you from doing something different. 11pm wants 3am you to feel better, even if they couldn’t make it happen.
Brush your teeth after you pee. You’re already at the sink washing your hands anyway. The brush is right there. Stick it in your mouth and brush. Forget the toothpaste if that’s too complicated. Toothpaste is mostly a scam anyway. The actual act of brushing is what prevents plaque from building up on your teeth.
The best advice I ever received was, “Anything worth doing is worth half-assing.”
Reduce the amount of spoons it takes to accomplish the task.
Best advice I ever got was from my driving instructor but I’ve used the advice for everything and I think it fits here. “Don’t let one mistake turn into two.”
Because when you make a mistake while driving and beat yourself up for making that mistake, you’re way more likely to make another bigger mistake and the more that happens the more likely it could be deadly.
So when you make a mistake, taking a moment to re-center and repeat that sentence “don’t let one mistake turn into two” can help a ton. It literally takes half a second to feel that emotion of letting go of your mistake and recalling your attention to what’s at hand now. And it can potentially save your life.

i love love love @maharlika’s halstarion fic A Love With No Sting so i wanted to draw something for the third chapter, which was my favorite so far!!! i loved the new chapter as well and i can’t wait to see what happens next 🥺💜
i think halstarion is fun when halsin is kinda crazy and astarion is actually the normal one. halsin sees a bruise on astarion’s knee and is like “who did this to you??? WHO DID THIS” and his bear form starts sizzling into existence and astarion is like “omg i just tripped im fine? relax”
morning bed head halsin warmup ft. tiny astarion being just like me fr
‘this is a dream.’
‘then it is a good dream.’
a halstarion doodle from my personal ‘verse to get used to them in my style ~
A comission my friend @/hayarahpaws on instagram did for me!!
People who draw/write Astarion topping Halsin are braver than any U.S. Marine tbh
astarion but he doesn't realize he's pregnant
