So, tis the season of giving, and the season of Eli not being able to give into my financial guilt!

For the months of December & January [I was reminded that in Puerto Rico festivities technically go til february @.@ so many parties] I cannot say no to offers of gifts nor assistance. I might still need time here and there to let my brain work through stuff, but I cannot full on reject anything nor convince peeps to change their choices..

This is to offset all the rejections I do throughout the year since they are basically automatic in my brain due to Hyper-independence x Financial Guilt.

I'm biased to practical stuff that helps my daily life or my survival, but anyone using this time does not have to follow any sort of guidelines.

I also cannot cheat by not giving gift options if peeps so wish to ask what's on my wish lists.

[this is a scheduled message, I may or may not be awake right now]

Those are the moments in which you need the most self love and care.

self compassion, growth, rest, paroxysms, mental illness

"moments of dysregulation are not when you need to figure it all out"
