a question thats very alive for me lately is how much to fight these adaptations and how much to let them be. sometimes it really is te wiser option not to fight it, but on the other hand it can grow and stop serving you

mmmmm yeah like, if this is a way my body knows it can say “slow tf down lady” and I’ll actually listen, I can imagine why it might be coming up
I notice that, if this is depression, I’m much more responsive and responsible around it than I have been before, that’s encouraging

I think part of the “crushing pancakey depression was normal” thing is I am not able to discern the difference between above average happiness and mania either 😅
I have survived extreme zoom zoom zoom mania before to tho so if I overshoot I know how to stay safe there too lol

Replying to @SethSullivan and @QiaochuYuan
to clarify, im not nec. saying we all have the space to eat the whole stack of trauma pancakes right away- just that were often the 1st to have enough space to realize its even there and that someone should start eating it
and even one less pancake can be a relief
