Yeah, sure, what is self-care as an occasional thing can become self-destructive as a habit. Can't imagine that is a bright line most of the time.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

And I think it's also hard to distinguish between "things I gotta do for my own good" and "things expected of me by family or society or whatever that I am actually better off without" because they both feel like obligations.

Russia, Canada, Costco, and JCP are all conspiring to make me a giant ball of stress, which apparently makes me chatty!
ETA: and now the Caribbean is getting in on the fun. You are not supposed to increase my stress levels, tropical islands!

It only just became old enough to drink this year, and I haven't seen it trying to get cozy with the youngsters in the parking lot.

I need better self-care strategies than just looking at pictures of CEvans.
I will note that this is a pretty decent one, but I still need better ones for when the Zebra Footage folder just ain't doing it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Right long term self-care is trickier because it does not always = making my brain feel better. The gym does, so that's good. I had a salad for lunch instead of cupcakes so woohoo for me. salad should release endorphins.

At this point I think CEvans would need to show up at my house to take me out and tell me I am pretty to actually lift my mood. Pics no longer work. They make me sad that I have not had a crush on real person I know in years.
One of my college crushes just posted on FB that he is in a new relationship. Someone I had not seen in probably 10 years and it still felt like a possibility being scratched off the list.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I think it's also hard to distinguish between "things I gotta do for my own good" and "things expected of me by family or society or whatever that I am actually better off without" because they both feel like obligations.
Yesssss!

Your Tumblr is so soothing to me.
