Guess whose alarm for writing for this blog didn’t get configured correctly somehow?

Yep, mine.

Anyhoo, I now figured out that really any time I think about mental health more deeply, I should just come here and write. Maybe just not publish immediately, but certainly come here and write.

I was watching and commenting on this video when I finally figured this out: Do You Gaslight Yourself? I highly recommend the vid to anyone interested in mental health and real life examples of how and what it means for actual self-doubt (double guessing, self-gaslighting) to manifest itself in one’s life. What it means in practice, why it’s not something as superficial as something that a “Just snap out of it!” could fix. It’s that meaningful bit that is so often forgotten in superficial, barren pop-psych misunderstandings of psychology.

Talking about Patrick Teahan videos, I also highly recommend this one about toxic parenting: 7 Examples Of Toxic Parenting

And many others.

So I am now writing multiple new drafts in parallel, and that seems like a step forward.
