IDK why the scheduler bot didn't go off but this week's theme is Radical Acceptance (and turning the mind which is basically just brute forcing that shit until you're good at it).

I'm just gonna roll the mood long post into this one because I'm tired. I'm trying to make sharing it wordle style ⋆˙⟡A Thing✧˖°. but I don't actually know enough about programming to make a mood logger app with that feature. Here's my week though:

⬛⬛⬛⬛🟨🟩🟨

My insight for the week is that I suck at remembering to log my mood.

If anybody wants to help me with the tech end of this it would be much appreciated.

The moral of the story is, you can accept the existence of something but still hate it.

Learning effectiveness was arguably the skill that had the most meaningful effect on my BPD. Learning to pick my battles was huge for me.

0/7 this week. I need to find a good app. If I knew how to program more I'd make one specifically for this sub where you could copy and share the week literally like a wordle but that's for a future me who knows how to do stuff like that!

 

Any other good ideas?

4/7 filled day-of

Actually I'm thinking white for neutral and black for unfilled? Ugh that would mean re-doing the whole scheduled post... On the insights side I'm having s some terrible getting back into mood logging but half of this project is for my own well-being so 🤗

very true I have a similar mention somewhere in the wiki

oh idk if this is what you meant but when I try to change the url of the post to that it says it's invalid.

I posted that DIY mental health resources folder but tbh it's probably just better as a community. I picked dbzero honestly mostly because it has a wiki function but also it has a pretty strong neurodiverse community. This is a more specifically skill-based group than just a general support group (although that's not discouraged). I just think it's an area that most support communities don't offer and that I think people could use.

i started this space because i wanted something a little more structured than most online support groups and rooted in real-life coping tools—but still chill and decentralized. this isn’t therapy, and it’s not medical advice. it’s just a peer space to share specific skills that have helped, and maybe learn a few new ones along the way.

for context: i am a mental health professional, but i’m not your therapist. i’m not here in any official or clinical capacity—this is a volunteer project, a mutual aid effort to make skills more accessible. i’ve received a lot of therapy personally, and while I don't provide a lot of talk therapy at work, I've definitely seen what lack of access does to people, so I just wanted to give something back to the community.

My Current Plan

  • weekly-ish posts about one specific skill at a time, mostly drawn from DBT, CBT, WRAP, and similar approaches

  • if you want, you can respond with something that helped you, or drop a quick snippet from your diary card or mood tracker (like “i felt X and realized it was connected to Y”)

  • this isn’t a course or a step-by-step system. there is a suggested order on the wiki, if you want a place to start—but the whole point is that you get to set your own pace and focus on what’s most relevant to you

  • this isn’t a crisis space (see the wiki for how to find support if you’re in danger), and it’s not a replacement for therapy. but if you’re looking for practical tools, shared experiences, and mutual support—welcome.

a few other notes...

  • suggestions on how to make this space better are very welcome. when i do teach these kinds of skills professionally, it’s usually 1:1—so doing it asynchronously and in a community format is new to me.

  • i’m okay with tech stuff but still struggling with stuff like getting a bot working. probably going to just use a scheduler service for now. if you’re into that kind of thing and want to help, let me know.

  • i’m also building a resource archive of links (so that nothing is hosted here) so we can keep track of useful worksheets, videos, etc. if there’s a piece of media that helped you understand a skill, feel free to share it. i’ll try to link to it on the relevant wiki page. and if you ever find a broken link, dm me and i’ll fix it.
