 i slept for about 10 hours and im so. tired. i wasnt this tired running on 5 hours of sleep. i have to wonder if maybe its sleep apnea & if its just been bad. i can barely keep my eyes open. maybe i need to go less carbs/gluten? ive been eating alot of tortillas recently. also ketchup has gluten apparently. i think for now its fine to just stop the obvious sources of gluten & not the smaller ones. also could be stress, i was definitely a bit wired on lower sleep (..although i preferred it to fatigue.) i may still eat a scooby snack thoigh. a liltl treatse. ok ok if im sleepy again its probably from gluten or maybe even sugar
learning things is making me wake up i think. also daylight. also switching but shut uppp
no its just because of my period yipeekiyay. ive started doing more pointed self care during that time but ive never really put it on paper. chocolate (milk), showering, permission to stay in bed, and permission to experience happiness is my usual self care for it. i need to get better at showering consistently though. i mostly just do the bed thing in the first few days since thats when my energys the worst
found socialwork buffalos self help pages :) also decided to listen to some yt videos about cptsd/shame/vicarious trauma. this persons talking about repressing the need 4 comfort & i think im getting better at letting myself have comfort- even if only in specific circumstances & without people.
id rather a soundcloud subscription than a youtube one tbh. theres some content on yt i want to get through without ads still, but honestly? its less worth it compared with how i use each of them.
im awake more now i think i just didnt engage enough, well until i started learning more about mental health anyways.
im thinking about making these private. im not sure if other people need to hear about my day & thoughts yknow?
went outside, tried to go to the spirit in the mall but it closed an hour earlier than the site said it did. pokemon'd instead- did a route and cleared 470 pkmn out of my storage. accidentally ran over an armadillo, it went between the tires, but something definitely hit the car. it was able to run off & didnt see any blood so hopefully it was just an armor plate we grazed or a very well timed rock.
mom decided to talk about very serious and important things right before i slept so ill need a longer wind down than usual. hows everyones day been?

Diary #15 + 16

 feeling well rested no more migraine. my pokeball is lost idk where exactly it is. fell into social media, but honestly? object heads & tpoh art is absolutely worth it. reached out to my counsellor, hopefully they can help. fingers crossed.
a flip really was switched like 5 days ago huh?
how is my boundaries both rigid and porous???? also how the fuck do you do anything healthily- like boundaries and shit???
went places today. dad called mom & it heightened the hell out of my anxiety. traffic was traffic. we got lost, found a route to spirit, aaand waited 20 minutes so my mom could get off her little game of thrones game
im thinking ill do a specific steampunk dress. going through a gender crisis because i want to define who i am away from codependency, so i might as well see if effeminate is more my taste. like not mainstream effeminate- i was never really a mainstream person- but like goth or emo or scenecore or steampunk or egirl or i could also try dresses idc. ok i guess egirl is more mainstream & i probably wont find clothes in my size but yknow..
stayed up too long & very tired. got a new friend on simplyplural- likely a bad idea but yknow whatever. allergies r bad- honestly i probably have a chocolate/nut allergy but its so addictive.. 

-------16
been ruminating on how abusive great grandfather was to my grandma. im trying to break out of that, if she starts talking about her abuse again, im going to lay down a boundary. she needs to take it up to someone around her age, a support group or a therapist. not me, not my mom. currently trying out an anxiety book & listening to new breakcore. also had a bit of a nightmare before i woke up, im uneasy about living here, in this house, and in florida. im trying not to give in and get chocolate milk but the taste & dopamine is so seductive when i have so much cortisol. -a-anyways ive heard before that venting about goals makes you not want to do it because it gives you dopamime before its finished or something along those lines. and im thinking about like- what if i tried to do that but with whatever my anxiety is forcing me to ruminate about?? or i guess distracting myself like this IS working compared to cheap games/videos. the neighbors house is being worked on and i just heard a loud noise- i hope nothing happened
i need to turn on the lizard's heat lights tonight. when i get up next.
trying to consciously consume content (i should be making content instead but yknow)
ive been awake for 12 hours and what the hell have i been doing. made brownies sure, but all i did was watch tv, watch youtube, play yt games and scroll tumblr. im on the last fucking week of school and im very behind where i want to be. why??? why does this keep happening???? why am i so blind to time????? how do i get out of this??
..ive been tired the last four hours. im going to sleep. i hope i get enough energy to actually do my homework tomorrow & i hope i create the discipline to write my essay.

Diary #13 + #14

 woke up and immediately showered. realized that mom had JUST fallen asleep before i woke up. sigh. its fine though, im disappointed but im ok with being here for a bit
still clear for now although im starting to blend a bit, especially with longer use of this phone. i think i am. a bit loaded with endorphin. or maybe its oxytocin i think its oxytocin. man i really dont want to disassociate. i also dont want to do any of my projects but getting at least one done was the goal of today.
friend is/was telling me about their comic & they seem really excited. im not sure how to respond. im excited for them as well but idk i kinda just shutdown
fuck i forgot to set up my laptop. also procrastinating on doing homework. honestly i just want to be outside i hate being so damn virtuall all the fucking time. legit thinking about finding the halloween decorations and putting them up. although its probably in the attic now, and if they are... im not going into the attic to get it im sorry. i kinda want to find someone i could like bitch about being chronically onljne with. but 50/50 if it would inspire chaange or not. also i regret eating pizza right before bed because now im having acid reflux
i feel a bit alone in my brain rn. hm. also sorry lie is better at keeping this like grammatically correct and more coherent
went outside! :D went to walmart, target + sonic for quick trips. socially exhausted. supposed to go to petsmart and spirit tomorrow. at least to petsmart idrk if shell wake up in time. ate too much, it was pretty mid though

----------14
i forgot to record my dream & its gone forever. there was something about someone spam dming me a new link to the new group server but idrk
a video i watched said something about coming back to yt feels like finding that ur fav mall closed after moving from ur hometown and visiting it again. i think i should make a list of my favorite creators when i leave youtube. one day i may want to return but they may have deleted their channels by the time that i have returned.
...
the school called. im majorly going back into my shell & freezing up.. i cant bring myself to do. anything. i feel like i want to die but i know its just my avoidant depression talking. really i just want to be outside & not be online at all. im worried about getting sick & panic attacks, but if i had to take college and get into debt, id rather be in an environment that i do better in productively. i think my perfect college would be something where i could go physically but i can do the work either offline or online- and isnt a complete scam lmao. and is within 1 hour if you ride a bike/board
i think im gonna beg my mom for a scooter & try to train in the meantime. its not nearly as good as a bike or a skateboard- and maybe ill beg for a skateboard instead- but ill need it. i cant handle being late like that because im actually depending on someone EVER again. i dont even know how but its manifested as like trauma or some shit.
damn it i cant wait to get out of this house.
side note- not going to spirit today because my mom stayed up all night. im annoyed but its a pattern im used to bottling up my feelings about. yknow its like an exasperated ~whatever~. i know EVENTUALLY we will go. eventually.
i think i want to make a major character building "quest" list. like regularly going outside, being able to socialize, getting used to biking or boarding, etc. i can add side quests but the main quests stay the exact same because the goal is to help me get the essential skills im majorly missing out on, not goal post moving.
bro i just cried after seeing how close the nearest bus stop was. it was happy tears too. i think that says alot about my mental state rn (i could go places!!! im not trapped!!! just really fucking scared!!!)
ok so it goes down near the milk district. thats great actually. takes an hour to get there & its $4 roundtrip. ill be moving soon but just knowing that makes me feel better.
i got google one. i know its dumb but id rather have a large cloud than be constantly running out of space. especially for whatevers about to happen next. also a bit nice to be able to take a break on decluttering photos.
thinking about taking the books on wednesday if i havent already- ill walk with grandma. safety net but not comfortable yknow
ok i think my optimal fashion aesthetic is tboy swag & 2014 minecraft skins (also whatevers going on with modmad)
i like b & c# idk they sound desperate and broken and i like it

sleepy...

diary #12

 woke up. had a daydream before i slept where i got tumblr asks how my dream blog was going. i didnt make the dream blog but i guess im obligated to now. btw im not rlly in control of my daydreams, too much effort & too boring.
i realize how odd it is to have a diary in the public- but i guess i dont think anyone will actually see it? or that someone will start a conversation or give me a different perspective about a specific thing in it? its not like this account can really be tied to my normal accounts- other than in my interests... of which i dont lay out in my normal accounts in the first place.
uploaded so many images to toyhoyse.... a whole 56 of them.
reddit is pretty decent to use as a casual resource. not great 4 socializing but thats socmed for ya. not that i really want to make friends at all on there...
curled on the couch rn in an uncomfortable pain uggghhgh. necessary evil while i have a weak core
gnarpy....
got like. super clear a couple of hours before i slept. like we weren't really blurred. whispered out loud a fuck ton before we realised that mom was on the couch and im not sure if she could hear us. i hope the fuck not. was very hard to get me to go to sleep im not sure why the last few days ive been wired.

diary #12

 nothing doing. couldnt sleep since i was too excited to go outside. i, of course, did not go outside.
fell into gaming and social media habit hard. also made a kickass sketch & updated an ocs profile. also laid out what a story has been about.
also realized that what i wish my fashion aesthetic was... is just an egirl. i have very conflicted feelings about that. also gothic, emo & scenecore seem really cool to me. i dont even use tiktok so i cant blame the brainrot. i think im just getting bored of random tshirt with random bottoms.
wasabicon was postponed to a month later less than 24 hrs before, no refund, and i learned about what they did in portland. i dont want to support ppl like this so im gonna see if i can get my mom to wait for other cons.
ive only heard paraphrased snippets but i think audre lorde's idea of self care hits me harder than any of the commercialized versions of it. like i know its important but it never hit quite right. its an act of not only self preservation- but a radical act of care for the collective. you tend to yourself first so you can actually rise to the occasion when youre needed to, alongside everyone else. <- a paraphrase of a paraphrase.
i want to just... delete all of my tabs, my bookmarks, my watch later, & the rest of my digital clutter. this hurts man. i dont feel this way with my soundcloud clutter but everywhere else i do. i think eventually ill cancel yt red & sub to soundcloud instead

diary #11

 SEEMS to be minimal damage, but i only looked at the outside cameras. im thinking about casing the house later today & dragging someone with me.
my bpm seems to be a bit confused today. or at least i with it. fell into gaming habit early today but im hoping for recovery. after i do my essay, ill see about playing this pressure game on roblox.
i feel like im burning up. probably just allergies but yknow my anxieties gotta make me worry.
ive been realising things ive already known about myself/my surroundings but repressed. i guess it is fitting that i have my old friends again willing to be in contact with me. i hate being a bird in a cage.
...i guess i do age regress. not in the romanticized or sexualized fashion, but in a legit disabling way. i feel like an injured feral dog huddling in the corner. i dont know who i am in those moments. and it hurts so badly to disassociate in that way.
once in a lifetime gives me great nostalgia for the early-ish web.
my emotions are particularly unstable today. i cant live like this, but im not sure another way of living anymore. im trapped but im picking at the hinges ignoring the lock.
one thin branch snapped off & theres a bit of a mess but its not that bad.

diary #10

 today is supposed to be the hurricane day. i could barely get myself to wake up. i think my body knows we're about to get a bad storm the way im craving food when im already full.
...needless to say i overate. i have an inkling of a plan if something goes wrong. if the power goes out, i go to one of the neighbors. if it floods, dont go to the attic, go to the roof & bring spraypaint. bring stuff in the backpacks found in bedroom. put geckos in tupperware. like i say theyre inklings, not concrete plans.
i had to get a jacket since the house is actually getting to the lower 60s (normally it doesnt because its hotter outside)
thinking about seeing if my cats will play fruit ninja. or one of cosmo sheldrakes bird songs
i mostly write this as the day goes on. eventually ill likely do the end of the day but not for now. i also had hiccups from acid reflux yesterday.
i wonder why everything was so cool and experimental in the 2000s/early 10s and if itll ever get that way again. i mean i know why but man...
had a tornado warning! spooky.
smelt rotten eggs & worried it was sewer gas. turned out that it was either acid reflux or veggie lasagna going bad.
worried for my friend near the coast.
going to be writing down imp stuff from struthless recent video when im awake tmrw or friday.
was going to sleep but the allure of freshly cooked scallops is keeping me awake (barely)
flash flood warning as i finished scallops. powers starting to flicker. bregrudgingly getting into shower. why didnt i do this before??
air pressure at 29.31 apparently.
hi i woke up at 6am bright eyed and bushy tailed (i know itll just end up with me going back to sleep) and the barometric prsssure is 29.3. wowza. time to sleep again.

mom encroached on my privacy (with my physical journal brain dump) and i
helped with moving plants. fell back into my gaming habit hard.

diary #8

 allergies are kicking my ass and i havent even woken up fully yet. shit sleep. need to move to living room but i want to stay somewhere comfier. slept 8 hours but felt like 12 the way i just kept waking up. hips hurt. had acid reflux as i slept.
i did some pokemon cards & made a list of most to do's and activities that have been on my mind. its 64 again so its hard for me to be motivated to do anything that requires any type of energy. i want to eat sleep and scroll but i know it doesnt actually do anything. im a bit mentally burnt out from sorting to get rid of things too.
my cat tried to cuddle with me to sleep but i had things i had to do before that and when i was done- the other one chased her off. sucks dude. i know the chasers 'recent' possessiveness is from the heightened anxiety she feels from all of us but i wish i could get her to stop. it makes me feel powerless when this happens.
i think i had a productive day, even if i didnt get anything important done. currently about to have a migraine if i dont sleep soon.

apparently most people cant lie and do something at the same time.
i talked with my mom for a couple hours and honestly it made me dizzy
wayy too long man. im going to rest, shower, then open pokemon cards. thinking about doing the password book if i dont do homework or my laptop.
i really really want to scroll and im trying not to give in. horrid.
did something i shouldnt have today.
unable to find meaning in what im doing today.
had a panic attack that got up to 97 bpm according to my fitbit. then dove right back to 65bpm like nothing happened. ive been super brain foggy today, damn my anxiety & amnesia barriers. tbh i can feel another one coming on. im stressed about moving, friends and homework & it all feels like its crashing down on me. at some point ill reach out to my mom-im not mentioning the friends part. shes not great with friends. no one in this damn family is.
also i tried doing a screentime report and apparently i have 55 hrs on youtube this week. no wonder im burnt out on yt if im doing this constantly.
... i need to disconnect (on my terms) from the internet & from sorting. just for a small bit. im not sure what ill do about the homework situation but taking a step back to clear my head and reassess my priorities and habits is more important.
...yeah thats gonna be what i do tomorrow. take some paper to a pencil yknow full manual for a bit

 wake up in the morning whack my-
so i tried sleeping on a response. didnt work so i gave up and sent a meme back. looked at tpoh and OMG ASSOK IS BACK OMG :DDD
my initial anxiety is in fact going down (...or maybe im just repressing it) but whatevers the case im not like dying each time i receive and send a message. just crying internally
im supposed to deal with my laptop today.. well i have to do pokemon day tomorrow so i guess i can put it off & make an excuse.
got into the new fairytail, surprisingly i suppose. its addictive tbh. i kinda headcanon natsu as ace the way hes so damn clueless
ive decided to create a casual no stakes minicomic series, as a sort of prequel to a comic i want to create yet too paralyzed by fear to make. im calling it liminal abyss, idk where im posting it though.
had a panic attack again. this time i had my fitbit on and it clocked at 90bpm (my normal is 60-77). 105bpm while moving around. i just worry that my hearts failing me but i know its stress + anxiety.
also i fucking forgot that lethal company uses the microphone, and omg its anxiety inducing like i fucking haaate how i sound. i sound 10 even though im 19. my god. i havent even played yet.
im going to wasabicon next weekend. hopefully. ill remind myself to remind my mom TO NOT STAY UP THE ENTIRE NIGHT BEFORE AND NOT WAKE UP IN TIME. its become a pattern. also speaking of! been watching youtube and like. some of these people describe my mom prettyy good and i wont lie that scares me with the other shit they say people like her do.
whatever im going to create a motherfucking plan to get out of here and thats going to include some stupidass failsafes.
eurgh
lets think of something positive now, shall we? i think that dress i drew yesterday fucking bangs. i watched some of highcrafts new videos. umm...
well today was basically a nothing day. but at least im aware of it. awareness is the first step to recovery after all.
also all my fucking pokesleep eevees are best as a jolteon wtf i cant have 4 jolteons

 woke up to the sound of my cat puking <3
...eventually ill get to homework, my anxiety just shuts me down and wont allow me to work if theres people moving around the house. no room is safe. except the car, like honestly im thinking about moving there.
made a sound halfway between a cat and a human saying yeah. everyday i feel more like im turning into a feral animal, and not in a silly way, but more like im not functioning like a real human does way. isolation does that ig.
didnt do much this day. definitely ate too much sugar. also no homework but i am starting to take my pinterest seriously + i drew an piece of fashion, which is different for me.
its starting to sink in that i have my old friends back now. (...i regret not interacting with the active ones at all. but then again i also needed to be alone.)

 woke up to the smell of a pleasant candle (its food)
i.. i cant get over how i can just. talk to my old friend again. hes just there now. like i can go and just say hi after nearly 2 years of nothing. im hesitant to actually call them a friend and im absolutely overthinking from my anxiety rn but...
and semi ontopic, i feel like i should be careful what i put in my password binder, in case it gets... stolen. i hate having justifiable paranoia. hopefully one day ill live with people i can trust or simply be alone.
im.. honestly handling the friendship thing surprisingly well. im still not good. at all. but im better than i thought i would be. growth! hopefully i can muster the courage to talk to one of the other friends again..
i figured out the "pins and needles" i kept feeling in my face was just my nerves not enjoying my peach fuzz... i really dont want to shave it... so much work...
went into the gztale rabbit hole again & found the entire comic. i still have an attachment to it.. with mel and ganz, it just kinda hits home a bit.
messed around in simply plural. interesting tool ill likely be using. didnt do homework today, im going to go into tomorrow determined to do more homework. also later im thinking about messing around in pinterest so i can use it. (...2k pins in one board from 2018 and im stacking those guideline strikes. halp.)
ALSO WHOS READY FOR HALLOWEEN YAAAHHHH

Diary #3.5

 i thought i posted this before i slept... im not sure about using tags? like i dont want to clutter the diary/journal tags
im afraid to take the steps needed because in the past its hurt. but those steps dont cause hurt, the pain will follow regardless, at least until i learn to live in spite of it. (paraphrased from a jeremyjankle video but it applies to me too)
im also getting to a point that id rather just clear out tabs/other active digital items rather than ones that dont affect me right then and there. bookmarks? photos? i can ignore them. but then it also takes up space..
i need to make a playlist for videos in queue i want to hold onto. or helpful videos. (btw i did this right after typing it)
cat brought in a frog. it yelled at her and scared all of us. i dont think she ever knew that frogs make sound before this.
using pomodoro techniques for homework. currently working. i think i needed outside positive encouragement from a real person. hopefully i can keep the momentum. (im going to fucking try!!!)
productive day; ended before i really wanted it to, but im on my body's natural wind down now. btw its way too cold, my nose & fingers are chilly (well, until this heat flash existed at least. i hate heat flashes. dont know why im getting them, its not like im that old) tomorrow ill see about seeing a thin cloth mask & my fingerless gloves. i need to set up my computer once i move so i can use regular gloves.

 yesterday the conversation fizzled out & idk how to restart it today. if i even should. i feel a bit bad because he seemed excited about reconnecting & im... indifferent and anxiety filled. i guess at least i probably wont have to worry about being found as much, not that im just gonna forsake every practice ive been doing. anywayssss. i made a new a account on a service im hoping be helpful (being vague here), needs a bit of time & tweaking though. went to costco for tire change, turns out there was a major verizon outage so realizing that was fun. they messed up the food court froyo but its fine, soft serve is soft serve. (its something about air balance & too much mixture?) have a tension headache & depleted social battery. mom just wont stop rambling about her game like dude you know im not ok rn and need space. 
anyways its only halfway in the day so i might edit this later. i would apologize for rambling but its my daily journal *shrug*
taking a nap now

edit: its now after my "nap" and i ended up on project sekai again and as soon as i got to my *first full combo*, the servers went down for maintenance D:

nothing really happened yesterday.
today i woke up to the news that one of my old friends decided to reconnect. im just. i feel lost and unsure what to make of it. i wasnt expecting this at all.

i think i need a better icon for anxiety haha
i saw a habit stats thing in another post a while ago & i think id like to try that soon.
also feeling a bit disassociated but thats my life 👍

ok its later in the day, i reviewed my friendship rules, and my very slight competitiveness just made me not want to touch video games ever again! except for pogo but yknow. im over the original anxiety, im trying not to obsess about my response so much, i still have anxiety but i just have to break in my shit social skills again (like a shoe)

hi! this is my first journal here, i just joined! i dont really have much going on right now (just a tension headache) but i think ill end up using this as like a diary or journal of some kind.
