It always feels like it’s going to be wayyy more debilitating than it actually is. It’s funny because in the moment it’s so frustrating and I beat myself up like wow I’m so impatient why didn’t I just wait like great now my tongue is going to feel weird/hurt for the next few days blah blah blah… but I swear like 30 minutes later I completely forget about it. It’s funny because it doesn’t even hurt that badly, I’m just usually upset by the inconvenience it presumably will cause for the next few days, but I actually can’t remember a time when it has lasted more than a few hours. A good reminder that we tend to remember the bad things in life way more than the good things (negativity bias), which cause our anxieties to become heightened in preparation for when we think bad things might take place, but more often than not, nothing bad happens, or if it does, it’s not that bad. Try to focus on the good!

sometimes I will completely not notice until sometime later I burned my mouth. like if I'm really hungry when I eat a nice hot bacon egg and cheese I'm just munching and then a bit later I'm like "why are my gums peeling a little"

anti-rec; this sucks! along with thinking so hard about the toothbrush and toothpaste in your mouth and gagging because of it... just happened to me right now and i saw the warm green tea diminishing from the cup as each gulp passed through my lips and down my throat... that darned pill stayed in its place, barricaded by the arch of my tongue... thankfully i was able to get it down the hatch otherwise i was not ready to go back to the kitchen to retrieve more liquid.

I hate protein bars usually, the chalkiness is so gross and it feels like I’m eating to survive rather than eating to enjoy. I’ve tried sooo many different protein bars and I swear none are good EXCEPT Mezcal Bars. I’m actually obsessed with them, and they are even vegan!! They call themselves “puff-crispy” bars because they are made of puffed pea crisps that give it the crispy texture and 10g of protein. I know it’s not like a ton of protein but it’s still way better than eating just a granola bar. My favorite is the pistachio flavor and the maple blueberry flavor. I get them at whole foods and they are a bit pricey, as all bars are, but I’ve put sooo many people onto these. They are so good to just carry around in your bag incase you get hungry or someone around you starts getting hangry.

Washing my face twice a day every day and always hyper conscious to make sure not to get my sleeves wet. I hate the feeling of wet sleeves. Constantly worrying about this makes the process tense and unenjoyable. This morning, I was wearing a bathrobe and my sleeves wouldn’t stay up. Normally when this happens, I am just sure to wash my face very carefully and try really hard not to get water on my sleeves, but today I decided I was tired of dreading this routine part of my day. I realized there was simply no reason I couldn’t enjoy washing my face. So I thought today, we will enjoy washing our face and embrace the wet sleeves. The water was warm on my face and quickly trickled down my arms, soaking my (very plush) bathrobe. It felt really nice to just relax and enjoy washing my face without caring about my sleeves. I had to ring out the sleeves after because they absorbed so much water lol. Maybe this is not relatable and I just have aggressive sensory issues, but it felt so nice to just not care about have wet sleeves for once!
