#it seriously does

okay but headcanon that Mycroft knows how to play the piano

Honestly those positivity posts like go out more be nice to yourself and get these or those habits. Like it works many times, listen taking a shower and cleaning my room is one of the most healing things i can do. But many times and over all makes you productive and not helpless i guess. But i did that throughout highschool(being positive n shit i still shower). I woke up. I put my most positive beats i cracked a few jokes to myself. I smiled at my own losses telling myself it would all be well i’d go to school nobody could tell something was going on most times. I was all smiles and waves and i came back home. Sometimes i would fall asleep content or whatever but most times it was bad again and it was hard to tell myself tomorrow will be better then. I most times went to sleep dad and exhausted from the mental front i had to put on and from overall being useful. This for a day is ok i guess. For a month much less so. But for years its workout without reward its waking up and putting up effort that in my view sure, its usefull, i may not have been as productive and i’d have had less adventures. Likely would have a worse health condition. But i cant help feeling all that helped people arround me more than it did me. I did it again recently whe. I had a job and it was like me being positive affects my work performance which helps my career and had i needed it, it would help me survive. But it wouldnt make me ok. In many cases it would make it worse. I only worked better and could later apend my money in dubiously healthy ways i suppose. Reggardless its not like im going to scream neurotypicals and butcher the “self care” it works and in many cases it is either that or losing financial independence. But also like i have the right to not look it in a positive light. In comparisson at like 4 and then again at 5 years something happened to me and i had to relearn how to walk. If you saw me running or walking as a kid it was a mess i had very little control over my legs and was always tripping over anything. And kinda shit at sports too. But i pretty much put effort into walking normally and having control over my body again. Im much better. Hell i can pretend i can dance and like honestly in that case saying it gets better wasnt lying every day of effort i put made it noticeable. And let me tell you it was exhausting. Each step for me was to be controled and voluntary. Unless i wanted to be a wrecking mess everywhere which i was at home. It was pretty exhausting overall. But yah it worked and it was easier by the day. Idk how to put it in words. But in any case doing all that was much easier than the mental health thing. And much more rewarding. So im not saying be positive and self care is capitalist propaganda in order to make you useful to society. But im not not saying it. Just kidding. But like dont lightly imply people dont wanna get better or anything similar. But yah overall what helps varies a lot from person to person and more likely than not if someone has a negative reaction to your self care tips its because they’ve already tried it and it doesnt work for them.

You’d think that plotting angsty stories and such would feel like being a villain in a tv show or a movie, complete with maniacal laughter and dramatic lighting and stuff, but in all honesty it feels more like being the Bowler Hat Guy from Meet The Robinsons
