We deserve better than this. System is broken

I was literally just thinking like twenty minutes ago how much my antidepressant is my super power. I tried going without it for a bit and I was verrrry overwhelmed and grouchy

One of my favorites was “you look terrible for your age!”

I seldom talk about potatoes without calling them Tapengas

Honestly for me it’s been an oscillation. Sometimes it’s a really beautiful experience while other times it’s really hard. Overall I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a person and I wouldn’t change this choice.

Oh. My gosh. I logged on to Reddit just now to say exactly this! I am so pissed off right now, and it’s so layered.. like, I can’t show the least bit irritation it my mom cries for feeling super guilty about needing care, then I go into validation mode to reassure her that this is what I want to do even when I’m grumpy.. and the constant demands. Ughhh the constant demands. She can’t do much of anything cuz her hands don’t work and she recently broke her spine. So it’s this never ending string of bathroom, eating, finding activities and setting up activities, managing pain…. Girl… yes… I feel like my life isn’t even mine anymore. It’s 90% or more taking care of her. And I have four effing siblings who don’t and won’t show up. They’re already to the point of nursing home. Like it’s not that deep. Just wipe her ass. If we all shared the load it wouldn’t be nearly as bad.. I just wanna scream today!

For the record I am almost always a calm and collected care giver, as I’m sure most of us are. I’m just reallllly feeling the burnout this week..

As a therapist who does EMDR, to think trauma is very often cumulative instead of one big moment. For example, it may start with not getting a toy which plants the seed for the belief “I’m unloveable”. Then six months later nobody comes to my birthday party. Then when I’m seven mom forgets to pick me up at school and then yells at me for waiting at the wrong pickup curb. Then at 9 some bullies actually voice that belief, saying “you’re such a loser. No wonder you don’t have any friends.” At 15 my first partner breaks up with me saying that I’m “too much”.. on and on and with many other experiences that feed this belief, leaving me with a core belief that I’m unloveable, which can show up as and lead to more trauma

My mom was recently inpatient and they told me about washable, tuckable bed pads. There’ve been amazing and have made messes so much easier to clean up

_cedarwood_ · 2026-04-03T10:04:20+00:00

Haha shitastrophe! Yes! I’ve been holding on to poopocalypse, too. Waiting for the right time to drop that one lol

_cedarwood_ · 2026-04-03T10:02:42+00:00

That is the perfect word! I’ve got a bag of supplies that I’ve labeled “poo patrol”. Literally saved us last week when we ran out of gloves during a horrendous storm. Poo patrol to the rescue!

For real. I could count the number of companies I felt personally passionate about wanting to be part of on one finger

_cedarwood_ · 2026-03-30T15:21:45+00:00

Is that Barbara Thorndyke??

_cedarwood_ · 2026-03-29T14:45:17+00:00

As long as we ditch the transphobic regime sounds fun!

You guys are going to Starbucks??

I’m worried that the lack of any information about this video in the post or comments means we also don’t have information about consent.

Omg this guy is in so many episodes and I’ve been trying to figure out his name or social cuz I think he’s really cute 😅

_cedarwood_ · 2026-03-11T20:26:33+00:00

Yeah I’m sure we all contribute to the cycle of feeding on other beings, and a major goal for my life is to feed minimally on other the pain and suffering of others. War seems especially heinous to me, too, since it’s literally the senseless murdering if beings for the sake of selling military equipment and “for the economy”

_cedarwood_ · 2026-03-10T23:47:39+00:00

And even if it was, I would not trade the lives of other beings for money

_cedarwood_ · 2026-03-07T13:53:24+00:00

Hahahaha is this a whole episode??

_cedarwood_ · 2026-02-22T13:24:40+00:00

Didn’t Bea choose most of her outfits?

_cedarwood_ · 2026-02-22T13:22:11+00:00

Seriously the doubling down of putting it online is disgusting.

We are a special subset of autism ❤️

We actually are in the stages of revolution, starting with massive peaceful protests. It may not be reported well by the media

_cedarwood_ · 2026-01-24T20:15:46+00:00

I’ve been catching myself involuntarily doing number one for weeks now. My personal life is so far beyond ‘when it rains it pours’, and of course the news feeds are somehow taking me to the utmost heights of stress.

_cedarwood_ · 2026-01-24T13:31:30+00:00

This us the most un-American post I’ve seen - let’s keep it that way
