I hate that "I'm the puppygirl" has already worked its way into the voice of my inner critic. already replaced all the generic things it would say, like "I'm so stupid" because it's so much broader and more scathing. yesterday, I got a migraine because I was doing an assignment for college that required staring at a very bright white screen for too long, and by the time my partner got home, I couldn't stand up or turn the lights on. I asked them if they could make me a strong coffee to take my meds with to help make the migraine go away, and there it was. "I'm the puppygirl". I didn't even think it would affect me. It came out of nowhere.
Like I’ve said, I live alone with nobody to rely on like that and it STILL fucked me up badly. I fully fucking understand and I’m so sorry, I really hope you can excise the brainworms from it.
Resharing BYOS for anyone seeing this, and reminder to not go read the puppygirl article if you haven’t, especially if you’re disabled.
