[CW// foul language, high intensity emotions, shaming, humiliation, suicide] There are so many different ways to say “I love you” so why not feature its “evil” counterpart? This post is essentially a compilation of insults so please keep that in mind before reading just in case it could potentially be triggering!

“How can you even live with yourself?”

“You’re the worst mistake I’ve ever made.”

“Not a day goes by that I don’t wake up wishing I was dead because of you.”

“I don’t know what they see in you.”

“You’re a disappointment.”

“I used to care about you. Now? I regret every second I wasted.”

“How do you think I feel? I’m pissed off!”

“If you come back, I won’t be here.”

“You think I care about you? What do you think I am, desperate?”

“I hate you. You took away so much of my life.”

“I don’t care.”

“You’ve done nothing but make my life a living hell.”

“I wish you were never born.”

“You’re the last person I wanted to see right now.”

“You’re an embarrassment.”

“I wish it was you. I wish you died instead.”

“You’re a monster.”

“Some people are just born to fail. How does it feel to be one of them?”

“You’re so worthless, you hardly even exist to me.”

“I wish I could go back to the day I met you, and just walk away.”

“Honestly, I’m embarrassed to even know you.”

“Get your shit together, I don’t want to hear you complain.”

“Look at you. You’re disgusting.”

“Fuck off.”

“I can’t stand people like you.”

“Stop doing that thing. You know, that thing I hate. Breathing.” (lmao)

“You disgust me.”

“I hate you.”

How pathetic it was: a man who once held up the stars lying crushed beneath the weight of the sky.

The static in his mind laced with stardust, weaving galaxies within him until he was no longer his own. Smoke and glass filled his lungs and he inhaled as if the only air he had ever breathed was bitter.

How pitiful it was when the heavens he once cradled descended upon him in a clash of grey, black, and red. And he knew not if the scarlet on his arms were his or if the gods were crying.

“Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that interferes with a person’s ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or wake up well-rested. If it persists, it can have serious consequences for the person’s health, emotional well-being, and mood.”

DIFFERENT TYPES OF INSOMNIA (not mutually exclusive):

Acute insomnia: This describes a brief period of time in which a person has trouble sleeping. It can persist for days or weeks, but it can usually go away without medication. It is typically caused by stressful life events, but it can also have hormonal causes or be linked to a specific medication or behavior.

Chronic insomnia: This describes a long term struggle with falling and staying asleep. A person with chronic insomnia has trouble sleeping at least three nights a week over a period of 3 months or longer. Unlike with acute insomnia, it can be a lot more difficult to pinpoint what is causing the chronic sleep troubles.

Onset insomnia: Onset insomnia is a type of insomnia that specifically describes a difficulty with falling asleep. Once a person is asleep, they tend to stay asleep just fine, but it could take them several hours to actually fall asleep.

Maintenance insomnia: This describes a person’s inability to stay asleep. A person with maintenance insomnia may wake up several times during the night and have difficulty with falling back asleep. This not only cuts into the amount of time they spend asleep, but it also interrupts the sleep cycle and prevents deep sleep, which is a necessary element of getting restful sleep.

SYMPTOMS OF INSOMNIA

As you can imagine, a lot of the symptoms of insomnia are similar to the symptoms of sleep deprivation. These include:

Difficulty focusing

Drowsiness

Dizziness

Irritability

Anxiety

Lack of coordination

Slowed movements

Impaired decision-making

Tiredness

Memory problems

Depression

WRITING INSOMNIA?

Insomnia affects many people differently and can thus be written in many different ways, but as a first person POV writer, here’s my take on it:

I’m sure many of you have heard of the literary device “stream of consciousness” and if you haven’t, it’s essentially a method of writing that disregards descriptions, settings, and actions, to focus on an uninterrupted exploration of a character’s thoughts, feelings, and reactions. Rather than describing what is happening, you narrate what the character is thinking, giving context to the situation or setting based solely around how that character responds to it.

This is really great for dragging out a scene and bringing the reader in with you to experience your character’s frustration and boredom. Let your character stare at the ceiling and ponder, let them watch as the ceiling fan rotates hundreds of times.

It’s a given that in many literary works, characters suffer from the loss of a loved one, a friend, a significant other, etc. One of the best things a writer can do is to evoke a sense of empathy and relatability in the reader and let’s face it, it can get kind of hard. 

Now “The 5 Stages of Grief” is a widely known process that can be a very useful to flesh out your character’s emotions, so here’s my take on it! [TW// mental health, depression, suicide, eating disorders]

SOURCES: https://www.healthline.com/health/stages-of-grief

https://www.recover-from-grief.com/7-stages-of-grief.html

1. INITIAL SHOCK AND DENIAL

Physical sensations (throat thickening, lack of appetite or increased appetite, nausea, a weight in the chest, trembling hands, swollen eyes, stuffed nose)

Thought patterns (denial, what if, if only, I didn’t get to say goodbye, I wish I hadn’t/had said That Thing, why-why-why-why-why)

Stress symptoms (inability to sleep, lack of desire to take part in once-loved activities)

Social symptoms (the insistence everything is fine, or the inability to hide grief in public; withdrawal from activities; over-booking activities to keep busy)

There are many ways this can happen: Denial of the cause of death, of blame, of the grief itself. Your character can forget the person is dead-- write about the gut-wrenching punch to the stomach when they realize that they’re wrong 

2. ANGER

Denial is a coping mechanism, but anger is a masking effect.

This anger can be directed at the person who passed away, a friend, a stranger, it can be directed at themselves. It can even simply appear out of the blue, it’s up to you

Remember, people express anger differently. It’s not always yelling or hitting things, it can mask itself in the form of quiet resentment as well

Physical symptoms (high blood pressure, inability to sleep, ulcers)

Social symptoms (irritability, mood swings, etc.)

3. BARGAINING

“What if” and “if only” mentality

There’s not many physical or social symptoms I can think of for this one, but let me explain it. I like to think that bargaining is a form of postponing or avoiding the full blown sadness, confusion, and hurt that comes with grief. It’s a last resort before the dam breaks and the water floods in. It’s desperate-- it’s like trying to hold together a glass ball that’s almost shattered

4. DEPRESSION

Psychological symptoms (depression, fogginess, numbness, anxiety, apathy, suicidal tendencies etc.)

Social symptoms (isolation, lack of self care and nourishment) 

Typically a lot of reflection occurs during this time, whether it be through introspection or the intervention of a concerned friend

5. ACCEPTANCE

Acceptance doesn’t mean you aren’t sad anymore. It doesn’t mean that you’ve forgotten about the one you lost. All it means is that you’ve accepted it and accepted what it means and that it’s part of your life now. 

Writers: *kills everyone their OCs care about*

Also writers: *gives their OCs tragic pasts*

ALSO writers: *puts their OCs through TERRIBLE CRAP because there’s no such thing as too much trauma* (there is)

A L S O writers: hmm actually? I’ll let my OCs find a nice group of friends and I’ll give them love interests and a found family because I love them :)

A L S O WRITERS: HAHAHAH GOTTEM *KILLS EVERYONE*

INTRO: I’ve seen some people doing this, so here’s my take on unpopular writing opinions!

[please note that I may be mistaken and some of these may not be unpopular (and some are just personal preferences), but I’m going based on if I have a different opinion than most of my friends]

**note: while I’m entitled to my own opinion, you’re entitled to yours as well so feel free to disagree**

LISTENING TO MUSIC WHILE WRITING ISN’T A GOOD IDEA: when you listen to music while writing, it helps set the mood for you but the reader isn’t necessarily going to be listening to the same song. half of the time, the reader won’t get the feel you want them to because it was the music fueling you. Yeah, it can work for inspiration beforehand and during breaks but while writing it’s ehh

REDEMPTION ARCS? IT’S A NO FROM ME: okay, if it’s a redemption arc like zuko’s then yes, but I have NEVER seen another redemption arc that’s realistic or interesting . sometimes people can’t be redeemed and I’ve seen so many people try to force it I guess I’m just biased against it by now

IT’S NOT ALWAYS WRITERS BLOCK: a lot of people blame not writing on writers block but sometimes it’s honestly just laziness, procrastination, or just not even trying

HAPPY ENDINGS AREN’T OVERRATED: so many of my friends say they are but to be honest, I feel like both happy and sad endings can be overdone because there are so many books in this world :/ in fact I’ve seen way too many sad endings so nowadays happy endings hit me harder

FIRST PERSON POV IS GREAT [PERHAPS EVEN SUPERIOR]: it depends on the genre but most of the time I love first person POV because I love the inner dialogue and the personal feel of it

READING AND WRITING FANFICTION IS AS VALID AS READING AND WRITING PUBLISHED BOOKS: self explanatory. I’ve read fanfiction that’s better written than most books I’ve seen :)

SOME MORE UNPOPULAR OPINIONS [that i won’t elaborate on]:

Love triangles are overrated

Found family is only good half of the time, other times it’s really forced

Poetic prose has been overdone recently, sometimes less is more
