shockmaxxing (or redefining shock value)

hear me out. the best thing i’ve been able to do for myself when something happens that is deeply fucked up is take a breath, ask myself what i will be unable to do once the shock wears off, and do that. my rec for that: let your people know something crazy bananas is going on for you, that you’re still in shock, and you’re going to need support soon but you wanted to call before it felt too scary to call.

adrenaline is rarely something you can harness in a time when you need it; find a way to regulate and redistribute it if you can.
