Pretend ur invasive self hating thoughts r being said to u by a 13 y/o boy on xbox live trying to get a rise out of you like
“Your girlfriend dumped you because you’re ugly”
that’s nice tim isn’t it past ur bedtime

also, if you have intrusive violent thoughts, pretend they’re being said to u by an annoying backseat driver

“drive into that pole”
thanks karen or i could not do that

Perfect

you can also pretend that the Super Paranoid thoughts are being said by that conspiracy theorist in your history class

“maybe they poisoned you”
maybe you should fuck off, geoffrey-with-a-g

OHH MAN I DO THIS SHIT EVERY DAY

My favorite for intrusive anxious thoughts is to pretend Spock’s behind you with an answer.

“did I lock the door-”

captain you have locked the door every day for over ten years, and it is very hard for most people to break even subconscious habits, so you most definitely locked the door

I told my new psychiatrist about how I learned this from y’all and his eyes lit up. He didn’t smile but he did nod a whole bunch of times, it was great.

I like to pretend that my intrusive thoughts are being said to me by a super uptight religious white lady

“god hates you because you don’t believe in him”
“your failures are too great to be forgiven by anyone”
“everything you do is wrong and you are going to burn in hell”

thanks for the input brenda but fuck right off

I would just like to say that I love you all for this idea.

Reblogging this for a friend.

This is extremely helpful. Intrusive thoughts are intrusive because they go AGAINST our personality/desires/values. So characterizing them as an outsider saying dumb shit to you takes a lot of the burden off, I find. That nasty horrible thing didn’t really come from me, it came from the malfunction henceforth known as [whatever you wanna call it]. Mine usually come in the form of suggestions/urges for…. really bad things to do. And instead of getting worked up over how could I think such a HORRENDOUS thing, I can reply with a little ‘haha how about not. Jerk.’ 

We can’t control them, but we can control how we respond to them.

i call them brainweasels, and the first time naming them and then telling them to STFU and then they DID? MAGIC. 

How to nicely and smoothly save your DMM stream without a screen capture app but using simply VLC (and Video Download Helper).

 AKA when your computer is a potato

… but you won’t let that stop you 😉


(Of course, this is all theoretical, since, you know, it’s not technically legal and stuff… so obviously, I’m just posting that out of general, scientific, detached interest XD)


EDIT: Just found an even simpler way to do it! (cf Step 8 A)

So, as I am found of mentioning, my laptop is a potato. It is over 11 years old, has traveled around the world with me and has somehow survived all the tea and coffee I poured on it through the ages. It is truly a warrior and still allows me to stream HD videos on the net without any problem, like the DMM streams for example (cheaper then dvds, even though it’s fun the get them both and compare the editing XD). Where the troubles start however is when screen recording is involved. The graphic card and processor of my good old potato just can’t handle the pressure of streaming HD video *AND* screen recording it at the same time in a decent quality, whatever the different settings I tried to cajole it with. This was just the line it would not cross and kept sulking when I tried to force Active Presenter on it by getting very hot and handing me over very jerky-hicky out-of-sync recordings. 

Since screen recording was a big no no, I tried to remove it from the equation and I thought about tinkering around a bit with VLC since it has a stream recording feature. AND IT WORKED VERY WELL! (theoretically, of course XD)

The only tricky bit is how to find the url of the stream (edit: just made that step easier;)) in order to put it into VLC, so that it can manufacture a nice and smooth recording for you. There are however 2 small downsides: the processing of the video by VLC may be a bit quite very long and you will want to leave your potato alone while it’s dealing with the task.

So, if you’re interested on knowing how to achieve that (out of pure curiosity, of course, nothing else XD), there is how you should proceed.

First, to buy a DMM stream, follow the steps from the excellent guide made by Riku, from 1 to 7. And I will explain the alternative 8th step – how to save the video on your disc without using a screen recording app (with pics!) – under the cut.

Haven’t had a chance to try this method myself as of yet, but it seems a great alternative for screen recording your DMM streams, whether your have a potato PC or not… ^o^

Growing up in an abusive household is a fucking trip dude……If you’ve never had someone angrily wash a dish at you or fold a sock in your direction then how are you gonna understand why I get nervous when you quietly do the laundry, or why I ask “are you mad at me?” when you set the bag of groceries down too hard? It’s a totally different way of living and it impacts you long after you’ve left the situation.

This is so important.

Abused kids speak a language you can’t learn

My heart races when I hear someone sigh and then the adrenaline takes forever to wear off. I hate having these reactions even when I know I am safe.
