im allowed to be proud of how confident i am at staying lucid and responsibly minded while my grasp on reality literally dissolves

its like a really difficult thing for me to have learned and know how to reliably perform, ok

im good at this and it makes me feel good to think im good at it

i am in the "starting to make sense of what all these passage-way based entities keep trying to tell me" stage of chronic stress-induced psychotic symptoms

but im actually very not much else besides someone who knows how to healthily endure and process frequent emotional floods of terror

my beautiful wife had this problem for awhile and went to physical therapy, where they learned about things like "nerve flossing" and related types of stretches (there's two more that i think are various levels of intensity on the same "nerve-pulling" basis) and it cleared their issue right up

the broken attempt has pretty much the right thickness (unmade ball end and unmet edges notwithstanding)

making these out of scavenged car springs

im normalizing the blank rn before grinding, realizing i should've normalized it post straightening but pre shaping

a ruined attempt at a tiny epรฉe sitting on an anvil, also there's some forge scale scattered about

this is mostly what all the previous attempts look like-

warped (wouldn't be a huge deal since its easily undone but then it just keeps happening every time they're requenched), unmet blade edges, cracked off tangs or ball ends

not to mention the blade cross section

if yer feeling emotionally stranded, societally invalidated in yer love for altruistic giving or just need some soft loving words that repeat yer own sense of connective compassion back to you, i recommend it whole heartedly

"Braiding Sweetgrass" is also good

does anyone else with chronic intense GI problems sometimes just give in and do a minimal flushing diet and/or do a senna/etc purge in preparation for an event where you just really really really dont want to have to deal with the constant pain and other symptoms?

im about to, wish me luck ๐Ÿ˜ฉ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿฝ
