• hey guess who’s alive again
    it’s me, the resident lizard guy 🦎
    frankenstein’s nomster
    heyyy hai helloooo
    time for another ✨update

    (…mostly a ✨mental health update✨ because i figured i worried some of y’all)
    first of all: anxiety
    how is that going? about usual because it’s only been a few days
    anxiety doesn’t just vanish but i’ve been finding new ways to deal with it
    breathing always helps
    since anxiety is deep within the concept/disorder: an underlying stress/fear rooted in the lack of control, people who have it often find solace within: dissociation (checking out), music, and a feeling of control within their surroundings

    it’s how ocd works, the compulsivity comes from a need to control their surroundings– rooted in severe anxiety
    chaos/uncertainty is anxiety’s instigator, so the cure is a sense of order/certainty.
    It’s weird how this applies to me because my standards and beliefs line up with the opposite of β€œorder” and yet what i require for functionality is just a sense of calm
    music and breathing, calm thoughts

    i find it funny the best representation of anxiety i’ve ever seen was about a mexican cat trying to find a fallen star so he could save his own life

    so, we need a secret story update
    first of all, i made a spotify playlist based around the story!! here’s the playlist:
    https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0UvlVJEd40BPtDEH3Uwwmr?si=XCz2XpoaRVuLc0WpiBxhkQ
    i tried to include a lot of stuff in it, some of my favorite artists, songs i don’t listen to a lot, lesser known artists and stuff that nails the feeling of the story as well as the characters
    the whole thing allowed me to really expand my tastes
    it’s still mostly indie/alternative music tho
    found a few new artists who i absolutely love listening to now and lesser known songs from my favorite artists
    penelope scott especially, love her music (public void is an incredible album)

    currently my favorite musical artist is definitely mitski, absolutely adore EVERYTHING she makes and i can’t recommend any musician more than i can recommend mitski
    really hoping to see her live in september, since she has a concert right around the time of my birthday
    just that when things get overwhelming, i listen to music, and it’s usually mitski

    now for the big reveal
    another character name: (this one is a minor character so not very big)
    actually just a very small character with no overall importance
    none at all, zero, zilch

    augie (author)✨

    okay, that’s all from me today
    see you all later, i’ve been your resident anxious lizard dude!!!!!!!!

  • hey it’s the stick nodes only resident lizard person on this site
    i have an ✨update✨
    specifically a ✨mental health update(yayyyy)
    yeah so as bo burnham would say i feel like a β€œbig ol’ mfing duffel bag of shit”
    for those of you who don’t know (which is definitely most of you) i have anxiety!!!!! whooo!!!!
    it used to be something i could manage
    right now i have been having really really really bad very terrible awful severe anxiety
    my anxiety wasn’t off/on at will, but i could say β€œshush stressful thoughts” and it would
    but now it’s just become insurmountable
    doesn’t have causes anymore, just thoughts that make me panic
    i think of a mistake, something dumb i said, things that are upcoming, existentialismβ€” it overwhelms me and it has no cause
    maybe even when i’m just… sitting down
    i have spent my afternoons laying in bed for like twenty minutes listening to my heartbeat and asking myself β€œoh my god why is this happening”
    usually i have to be doing or thinking about something stressful to warrant that anxiety
    but there’s no cause at all
    and when it does happen it’s severe and debilitating, takes me awhile to snap out of it
    it sucks 100%
    i plan to cut back on the caffeine and sugar, help ease the nerves maybe

    NOW we need some stuff in a lighter tone to live up to the β€œregular update” side of this post
    Remember that super duper secret story project I’m working on???
    no, of course you don’t
    it would be super egotistical and unrealistic if i expected you to remember everything i say
    HOWEVER I WILL CONTINUE TO TALK ABOUT IT because it’s fully a passion project now
    it’s kinda been a passion project since like the past 4 months writing it
    move aside uroboros there’s a new sheriff in town
    now i have a small teaser
    i present:
    one of the names of the characters!!!!

    chrissy

    boom
    there you go
    anyways, i had to pop in, get some of this out and then end with the smallest teaser of all time
    i’ve been nomster, the resident lizard duder

    • I’m very sorry to hear that, I know where you’re coming from.

      There is part of these things that come down to the physical, as you said cutting back on caffeine etc I’m sure will help but mainly it’s psychological. There’s no real fix but that’s where your own insight will come in, for me I just remind myself that for what it’s worth I am just human, mistakes will be made and if I have a panic attack or anything else, I will not die, I may not have comfort in the moment but given the circumstances are dire enough, it will come and so in any case I am not alone.

      It’s almost about letting go which is easier said than done but doing whatever you can to make that transition, to reinforce it is probably the best way to go about it. Different perspectives and more can help you so just try your hand at different things and don’t feel ashamed to feel your own emotions, accepting your emotions is part of moving with them and being able to live your life.

      Wishing you the best

          No problem, really hoping you do.

          It gets very depressive sometimes but just know you’ll always have a place here to get anything off your chest. Good luck to you

  • Friday, April 26th.
    finally friday
    It’s another day in our humble abode. Don’t have much to say about today, It’s standard. We’re all assuredly on the edge of our seats, waiting for the weekend. Everyone loves Saturday, weekends are great. Everyone has their own time to make and do their own things. Consistently, a lot of us choose to spend our time here. Weird. Now, onto today’s posts. It’s the usual servings.

  • #mellowformod MELLOW SUPREMACY MOTHERFUCKERS
    to say something genuine about this whole ordeal though
    it was robin williams who once said β€œwe get to choose who we let into our weird little worlds” and right now stick nodes (our little weird world) is a shitshow
    i’ve never had an honor quite like of knowing, creating, and getting advice from mellow, so i see no other better options in the site for a new mod to maintain order
    i can’t jest when i say he’s the best
    so choose the only right person we can now
    so MELS FOR MOD YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
