When an agoraphobic man develops a relationship with a vivacious grocery delivery woman, the order he prescribes to his apartment, and his world, begins to crumble around him in Wesley Yorstead Goes Outside by Stephanie Harper.

Good news, my safe foods I’d been reacting to these last few weeks has gone back to lower reaction. It’s my last lot of antibiotics tomorrow, so looks like being ill made everything worse, which makes sense.

When I went to the drs last week, they were surprised I didn’t know I had strep throat. I said I’m just used to feeling really ill and being told it’s fibromyalgia, or just something I have to deal with, I hadn’t even gone about my sore throat snd earache 😂 This was a sympathetic locum, who said it shouldn’t be like this.

You know you’re chronically ill when the drs is always selected whenever you open your contacts 😂

Absolute nightmare getting through this morning, I managed a to get a telephone appointment, I’ll go to walk in/A&E if anything gets worse.

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

The world is a higgledy-piggledy place, containing things pleasant and things unpleasant in haphazard sequence. And the desire to make an intelligible system or pattern out of it is at bottom an outcome of fear, in fact a kind of agoraphobia or dread of open spaces. Within the four walls of his library the timid student feels safe. If he can persuade himself that the universe is equally tidy, he can feel almost equally safe when he has to venture forth into the streets.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 2, ch. 12 “Affection” (1930)

A few years ago, I went to a wedding in Liverpool, that meant 3 stations I’ve never been to, and by myself.

Today, I am overwhelmed with anxiety about getting a bus I’ve not got before, I can’t afford to taxi there and back. I know the cafe I’m going to, to meet more strangers, but for some reason the bus is really bothering me.

I think that the worst part of depression is not being interested in anything.

I'm usually INTENSELY interested in things, constantly reading and googling and trying to learn everything I can about everything that's going on.. to go from that to just not caring is a weird feeling. I feel like I'm sitting outside of my brain.

[🚫no medical opinions🚫]

I had therapy today for the first time in months (regional Australia has a dire shortage of mental health services), and got to talk with her about how I think I have a touch of the depressions.. she agrees.

She also agrees that it might be SAD, or a VitD deficiency, and is glad I had bloods taken yesterday and will be talking to my endo tomorrow about the results. She didn't have anything to say about the possibility of it being a side effect of my spirolonactone, but I'll ask the endo about that as well.

We did talk about the possibility of it being triggered by Greg leaving or other relationship things and both agree it doesn't seem likely. Or that it's latent grief over my dads death in 2019 being triggered by talking my best friend through his dad's illness and impending passing (we also don't think that's it).

She said that I've done all the good things - deleting tiktok, taking a decreased uni load this semester, talking about it.. and that I just need to keep going back to basics (eating, sleeping, exercising, drinking water), to keep things grounded and continue moving forward..

I did notice that, when we were both about to say I have to keep doing "all the good things", she said "good things" and I said "right things" - so we talked a bit about how those actions don't have a moral value or correctness to them, they're just things I can do that are helpful for my body and ways I can be gentle with myself at the moment.

I have such a headache now, though.. It's also been years since I've come out of therapy with a headache, which I think is indicative of how much I don't want to be there and how much I do need to be there.

Being crazy is hard work.

I've got to stop letting myself do "just a little thing for my mental health"...

Rot in bed all day?
- yes, just a little bed rot for my depression!

Eat nothing but chips all day?
- yes, just 19 little packs of chips as self care!

Ignore uni work and play Salt & Sacrifice all day?
- definitely, it's for my mental health don't ya know!

MY THERAPIST TOLD ME TO BE GENTLE WITH MYSELF AND NOW I'M TURNING INTO A CURSED TRASH GOBLIN WHO HASN'T SEEN SUNLIGHT IN 4 DAYS

Yes, I know this isn't what she meant

I feel like I need to ask my therapist to go back in my records and amend every mention of me being any sort of thing* about world war 3 starting..

So.. what makes you think you have PDA autism?

...I'm not sure, but I did find this weird warning label stuck to the underside of my brain when I last looked.

leftist spaces need to have a serious reckoning with their ableism—especially toward cluster b disorders.
it’s not just individual ignorance. it’s a pattern.

you say you're trauma-informed, but pathologize anyone with intense emotions or attachment wounds. you say “abolish the carceral state,” but you socially exile people with bpd or npd like it's justice. you preach “community care,” but treat certain neurodivergent people as disposable.

this isn’t healing. it’s scapegoating.
and it mirrors the same systems we claim to fight.

if you're serious about solidarity, you need to unlearn the reflex to demonize people just because their symptoms look messy, threatening, or unfamiliar. start interrogating where your language comes from—why does “narcissist” live in your insult toolkit? why is “toxic” your go-to label when someone is dysregulated or in pain?

stop centering comfort over care. real community means making space for people who challenge your assumptions—not just the ones who fit neatly into your idea of “safe.”

cluster b folks aren’t the enemy. we are already in your spaces. we’ve just learned to mask, hide, shrink. because we know what happens if we don’t.

you want to build something liberatory? include us.
because if your vision for justice doesn't include cluster b folks, it’s just another hierarchy dressed in radical clothes. - Anarchist Jew (on Facebook)

Oh no, I made the mistake of scheduling two things outside the house today.. and both of them involve talking with people.

Me:
I'm going to run out and pick up some groceries, and run some errands, maybe I'll take the dogs for a walk when I get back.. I'll change my sheets and put another load of washing on, and then I have a bit of uni work to do as well..

Also me:
hmm. no.
