Just throwing this out there for the Brainweasel Brigade on a Saturday morning: knowing that your brainweasels are affected by forces beyond your control - in my experience - doesn’t do much to actually alleviate the problem. It might be helpful to understand why you’re suddenly feeling so much worse, to know that you’re not spiralling because of things you’ve done wrong, but rather it’s X, Y, or Z factor that’s decided to sprinkle a little feral weasel nip on the carpet and sit back and watch the show. But knowing this does not mean you’ll be able to wave your hands and magically make it go away, and it doesn’t make the feelings less legitimate because the cause feels stupid. So don’t beat yourself up for feeling a feeling that’s based off hormones, seasons, additional disorders you have no control over, or days-of-the-damn week.
