Jupiter's Moon IO: Jupiter's fifth moon, Io, is the most volcanically active body in the solar system. Io's surface temperature averages about minus 202 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 130 Celsius), resulting in the formation of sulfur dioxide snowfields. But Io's volcanoes can reach 3,000 F (1,649 C). Io is often referred to as a celestial body of fire and ice. (source)

The irk of quirk

Yes, people with OCD are often preoccupied with fear, order and the pursuit of perfection. But please understand that the above is just the tip of the ice burg. Ocd can also look like intense shame, self-loathing and the worst of the worst…guilt. OCD forges a deep and habitual mistrust of one’s true intentions and causes to feelings of unworthiness. I have felt unworthy of my friends, family, self compassion and in the darkest times, of life. So if somebody tells you they have Ocd please don’t assume what that means based on stereotypes. OCD is not a quirk; it is a serious and debilitating illness.

I always feel so guilty after I ruminate on an intrusive thought. I know the thought itself is intrusive but I feel like a bad person for even thiking about it and trying to disprove it. I feel like I can’t trust what I tell myself.

So often we hear about how mental illness/neurodivergency makes people interesting, but here’s a shoutout to the people whose mental illness makes them boring.

Systems who dress at a middle ground of everyone’s style because dressing differently depending on who’s fronting may arouse suspicion. Systems who talk, write, and text the same regardless of who’s fronting for the same reason. System members who can’t do the things they want to do because their system only has the time and resources for so many hobbies.

People with OCD who spend so much time doing compulsions that they don’t have time for the things they want to do. People whose compulsions are mental so no one knows that they’re struggling. People who can’t do certain things because they would trigger them to the point that they couldn’t function.

People with OCPD who are told that they’re too ridged or not spontaneous enough. People whose entire personality, including hobbies and the things they like, are part of their disorder.

Autistic people who dress to avoid sensory bads. People who only eat a few foods. People who can’t go out and socialize.

Really just anyone with so much going on inside their head that they don’t have time for anything else. People who aren’t even capable of being on tumblr or any social media.

Neurodivergency isn’t always something that fits an aesthetic or makes people interesting. Some of us are just focused on surviving. Our symptoms aren’t something to be consumed by others. They’re personal. In the age of the internet it can seem like everyone is always performing, but I promise it is okay to just look after your mental health.

If anyone wants to add on with more mental illnesses/neurodivergencies please do!
