Taming the brain weasels

[labelleizzy]

Just a minute ago I got ambushed by some brain weasels. And they were trying to tell me that I am a bad human being and I am an awful friend. So I let them try what they were doing for a couple minutes, and then I went to unpack the dishwasher. Putting things in order is one of the ways that I manage when my brain is giving me toxic messages.

So I was starting to feel better, and was going to come here to write about the moment, and a friend of mine, Jay, talked about how starting their ADHD medication, is helping them at work but is, they're feeling some feelings about it, about noticing that they think differently and don't have their silly, fun, side thoughts while medicated. So we're currently chatting about that. And that puts paid to the brain weasels. When person reaches out, and we have a conversation. And the brain weasels have been proven wrong.

Next thing I need to do is get cleaned up and my hair combed and washed and get dressed and accomplish a couple more things around the house, maybe finish some more of that dragon art I've been working on. I have a cute little design for a dragon baby that's sleeping, it's going to be a gift for my friends Sean and Julia.

YAY BRAIN WEASELS QUIETED ♥

I don't know you enormously well, but for what it's worth, I don't think you're a bad human being OR an awful friend. So there. (pthththbtt.)

I am glad you were able to put the brain weasels back in their cages.

I also notice when I Feel Bad, doing something to put things in order helps.

If you're willing to post a pic of the dragon baby when it's a good time, I would enjoy seeing it!
