i see millenials talk a lot about the literacy crisis in young adults and kids, but the amount of times my middle-aged coworkers haven’t read through the email i sent (oftentimes carefully curated to be less than like 6 sentences) because AI has rotted their brains is staggering and infuriating.

Made myself a set of little wallet cards with an adapted version of trigger/freakout management exercises from therapy to keep in my various bags and desk drawers so I’m not remembering everything from scratch when I’m in a bad way

Mags’ hand holds five bifold wallet-sized leaflets1. STIMULUS What literally, observably happened? 2. STORY What do I think or fear it means? How strongly do I believe this is true? Persistent or recurring feelings are usually secondary emotions about the story! Stories stop them from resolving. 3. FEELINGS What are my emotions? 4. ASK • Is there evidence for or against this? • What is the larger situation? What is left out? What is minimized or exaggerated? • What is the source of this belief? Is it reliable? Does it come from experiences in a different situation? • Am I confusing the feeling of fear with proof the danger is present? Am I trying to protect myself by mentally acting out how I'd feel if someone hurt me? • What feelings are about the present? What feelings are about the past or an imagined future? Look out for: all-or-nothing thinking, catastrophizing, discounting the positive, mind reading, labeling (I'm a loser, they are unsafe, etc.), blame or self-blame, fixating on proxy issues, wanting to control outcomes5. REFRAME How else can I think about this? How much do I believe the first story? How much do I believe the reframed story? How am I feeling now? Looking Beyond Past: Is this bringing up old stuff for me? How can I care for those feelings? Have l felt like this before? How did I get through it? What could I do the same or differently? Present: How are my physical needs? Are there other stressors right now? What can I do to support myself, in this moment or in the bigger picture of my life? Future: Is there something I can do to make this situation easier if it comes up again? Is there a hurt or fear I can make a plan to address? First Aid Change location • Sensory reset, e.g. hot or cold sensation, scents, tastes • Focused breathing or Valsalva maneuver • Play a game • Music or video • Simple craft • Pressure or weight, e.g. heavy blankets • Scavenger hunt walk, e.g. identify 10 plants or spot colors in ROYGBIV order • Clean something or do another simple chore • Research something • Self-care routine, e.g. paint nails • Reread, rewatch, or relisten to something | love • Progressive muscle relaxation • Talk to someone about something unrelated • Shower, bath, or wash face • Sing or hum a familiar song • List things to look forward to or other points of comfort or encouragement • Find a place to cry • Find a place to watch people or nature • Practice an instrument • Look at an art book • Draw • Write • Let time pass

a good silent hill thing is full of imagery that ties back to the story symbolically but a great silent hill thing should also feature some stuff that feels like it makes sense but is a couple of layers of abstraction too far to make a one to one allegory and leaves you going what the hell was that
