If you follow us on social media, you know that Lito has recently chosen to fuse with Jonathan. He is still in the intro because we didn't have time to change it on such short notice. Hopefully next week's intro will better represent the current state of the system. -Wyn
Gonna miss Lito. Glad he was getting more comfortable with being out. Gonna miss him.
Thanks for letting us know!
I'm gonna miss Lito so much. I love his cooking video, it was hilarious. He always made me laugh. I hope hes now at peace being fused with Johnathan. This must be a hard time in your system with two fusions so close together. So much love to the system. Stay strong 💕
The Entropy System sending love and support! Y’all are valid and really don’t owe anyone any explanation. But you are allowed to say and explain your experiences as you choose! You and your system members are all valid and we wish you each a happy and stable existence! Love KitaRose and our entire did System
Aww I'm gonna miss Lito and watching him in videos 🥺 But he's still apart of your system, just in a different way. ❤ I think it's amazing how open you are about your system! Lots of love!
Much love to the System... *hugs*
Stardew Valley and The Sims is something I play during stressful times. When it comes to anxiety music often helps me get through. A huge thing I do is reach out to a friend I know is safe and supportive. When I am depressed that's really hard for me to do because I tend to isolate myself and shut myself away, but it's something I try to force myself to do because I know it is self care to let safe people in, not push them away. It reminds me that I do deserve to have meaningful friendships in my life. That's something I'm currently working on. -Dani.
Our Primary Protector is a fictive and he related a lot to Lito. He, and the rest of us, will greatly miss him. However, if it was for the good of Lito and Jonathan, then we can't wait to meet the new member of the team! Much love and support,
-The entire Elysian System
Writing and music are two of my go to things. Mainly music. It's perfection and there is a song for 99% of all situations!💚💚💚
Sal agreed!! Music is my primary outlet. The one thing I can always manage to do, no matter how bad my depression gets, is pick up my guitar or sit down at my piano.
Do whatever works. As long as it does no harm, not illegal and it helps you feel better. DO IT.
When we are super stressed out and in danger of spinning out further... we clean. Like uber clean with a toothbrush on the grout type cleaning. This is actually due to one of our trauma triggers, but it gives the hands something to do, and also gives us a sense of being able to control our environment when we feel utterly out of control. We also listen to music, but that depends upon which of us is fronting at the time. Each of our alts has a different taste in music. So one of the ways that you can tell which person is fronting is by which music we're listening to- which varies from classical to 80s rock to heavy metal and 20s and 30s jazz. One of our big stress relievers is to take a long hot bath at night- a bubble bath, with candles and our little yellow rubber duck. Our Littlest likes to play with Legos, Play-Doh and color or finger paint. So, it really depends upon which one of us is fronting and who is the most stressed out at any given point in time. When all else fails, we can always depend upon our kitty to comfort us and provide purr therapy. Oh, Kim-Kim! You need to look into chai tea. It's warm and creamy and spicy and just a really incredible drink!
my favorite tea is red raspberry tea :)
TRIGGER WARNING (health issues and reference to ED. No details)
I think most of what I'm about to talk about is coping strategy rather than 'self-care' but in my mind, since I'm choosing 'healthier' coping strategies that is a form of self-care. My situation is a bit unusual because I'm bedridden and I have limited use of my arms too, also I suffer from sensory sensitivity because of a combination of ASD , my mental illness and my physical illness. A good portion of my time has to be spent totally still, in complete silence and darkness, trying to have as little sensory input as possible and to be totally honest I'm still working on how to practise self-care for depression, anxiety and stress when I'm stuck like that, especially when flashbacks and trauma loops occur, but just in case there happens to be anyone else ina similar situation reading this here are one or two things.... I practise breathing exercises, I try to meditate, I make lists in my head but for 'silly things' not shopping lists or to-do lists.. things like " What ten books do I wish I'd written?" I also allow myself to daydream in this particular way that I don't really allow any other time where I build a new me and a new life in detail in my mind, I plan projects, I mentally work on my writing or my music or my art, I imagine myself being transported into a book I love and basically anything else to distract myself and pass the time.
When I'm able to tolerate light and sound I watch something comforting or something that might help me get rid of some adrenaline with a good cry. I write A LOT! I make things to send to other bedridden people who have less mobility or who are just in need of a pick me up, we call it 'happy mail', I make 'art' I'm not good at it but I enjoy it, I work on my vocal rehab and try to make music, I listen to a pod cast or watch UA-cam, work on my TBR list, I bury myself in research, I eat something I love that's also good for me and I try to tailor it to my specific need depending on what's going on. I make herbal teas and tinctures, and use my essential oils, I use guided meditation, I do 'witchy stuff' too, When I'm able I might reach out to a friend, I spend time with my son and my dog, I might give myself a treat like homemade stevia-sweetened chocolate if I get through the day using healthy coping strategies, I try to avoid 'sweets' too often because even though I don't eat sugar and the stevia-sweetened chocolate isn't actually bad for me it can still be a trigger for a comfort eating mentality to slip back in, however sometimes it works well as a positive reinforcement. I also try to take extra time on things like skincare and self-massage (especially for lymphatic drainage, ) I make a list of everything I love or that brings me any measure of joy, I have a specific notebook that I do that in so that I can keep them ( When I'm depressed that list can be literally nothing but reading previous ones can remind me that I DO enjoy something about my life or life in general and that I will again because I can go back and physically see other times I've said "Nothing" but then eventually written a list again)
Before I lost mobility, anxiety was much easier to combat for me and my self-care involved anything I enjoyed that got rid of that adrenaline, dancing, hiking, trampolining, running around with my dog or hitting my punching bag, cleaning, whatever. Cooking was another big thing for both anxiety and depression. I loved to cook and I really enjoy feeling like I can control something so big like my bodies fuel. I used to get that feeling of control in very unhealthy ways but then I started combining my love of research and my love of cooking to use food as a 'medicine; almost. Anxiety and depression can be really helped by great nutrition that is tailored to your needs in my opinion. Anyway, that was a lot, I'm sorry but writing this did help with my anxiety so...... :)
I'm honored that you watch our videos, especially since your tolerance of light and sound is limited. I'm glad you have so many coping mechanisms
Rebecca- you are the first comment I read on this video.. and TOTALLY YES!! I use all your tools as well with my anxiety! I think you are amazing to take what hinders you to help others. I use a lot of those tools, but I have also been going to "yin yoga" (I call it nap time yoga) bc it's so gentle and makes you stay still and take time for yourself. I also love music. I have a handful of songs that when I listen and get into them, I'll start smiling by the end of the song and I could've been in tears. And yes, food! One of the things I've learned in my journey is to keep yourself fueled. Emotions are easier to negotiate on a full tummy than not and I find good food can give my system a boost (it doesn't even have to be "healthy" necessarily, but maybe giving into a craving I cant shake) . All in all, both of your systems are amazing and I'm so glad we can try to relate and find support in each other!!!
Hearing Kim Kim giggle is so precious
Idk if this counts, but one of the ways I deal with depression is doing things in, like, tiny steps. Like, sit up, then put your feet on the floor, then stand up, then walk to the door, then open the door, then walk down the hall, etc etc etc. It just helps to make things seem easier when “go eat breakfast” just feels like too much.
Coffee. Tea. Face mask. Big cozy robe and a big cozy blanket surrounded by my pets. UA-cam. Podcasts. Those are my self-care faves. Great video!
Hey Kim Kim, thanks for this video! We were wondering if you might want to make those Pokémon trainer cards for all your system members? We thought that might be a cool video idea to talk about why you picked the Pokémon you did for everyone!
Ooooh! That’s such a fun idea!!!
Over here still finding ways to cope with stress and anxiety, at times I have panic attacks to which I nowadays respond with heading to my safety corner in my room and telling myself that I am safe, loved your video!
That outro with the toy was so cute! Really made me smile!
I didn't know you were a NADDPOD fan, too! This made my day, along with the rest of your video of course!
Hearing that a fellow host also practices witchcraft is SOOO incredibly validating to me. We are all incredibly thankful for the content that you have made. I know that you had to leave UA-cam, but just know that your content is still reaching a lot of people to this day. Thank you all!
Art journaling, music,hot baths, and Pokémon games are our go to for overwhelming stuff
Omg kimkim the gengar sign off! And your laugh! Made me lol! So adorable! 😂❤️😆
So I suffer with many different mental illnesses and depending on which one I'm dealing depends on what I'm going to do. Like for depression I will listen to sad music (ik that sounds counter productive but it helps me), or watch videos on UA-cam or TikTok because I'll have little to no energy. But if my anxiety is acting up it's typically because of my thoughts so I try and keep myself busy. I do that by working on one of my stories or painting/drawing. Sometimes I'll work on my witchy stuff if I'm not drained and have enough energy. I'll also listen to music but typically something not sad lol. Sorry that this was long winded 😅.
Ahhhh not the same thing, but when I'm overwhelmed by people around me (like, after fights) I put loud rock on my headphones, and that makes me feel like I have control. I feel myself relaxing when I do that, because I'm just gonna hear something someone is saying If I choose to pause the music. I'm not gonna hear anything out of the blue, I'll always know when it's coming. And that helps A LOT, 'cause then I don't need to be prepared to something that can hurt me or stress me out at anytime. Not having to be ready all the time means being able to relax. That's how loud music and headphones help me.
Wow I remember kit as fairly mature 16 year old, bit uncomfortable all the time. Now she seems so whole, so complete, so grounded in reality.
The fork pun made me laugh out loud by myself 😂
I'm the host and I found that playing Animal Crossing really helps calm us down and gets us motivated.
For us, wearring hats helps A LOT. I don't know why, one day my bf told me that everyone in our system, when scared or to stressed, is reaching for something to put on our head. I have my leopard winter hat, my co-host like her pokemon snapback, ect that we put somewhere visible and easy to reach in case of a flashback for exemple. If we are in a public setting or not at a safe place, we talk to each other out loud something along those lines of:" I understand why you feel this way, but right now is in appropriate to react like this. Can you hold on to those feelings for when we'll get home?"
I have a question: I'm the oldest in my system, being 25, do you have any advice for littles/ teen alters to encourage them to run errands/do chores?
When Kim Kim was younger, we gave her an allowance to encourage her to do chores. If she swept the kitchen floor every day she could get two packs of Pokémon cards that Saturday. Perhaps that will help your younger alters too?
@@TheEntropySystem we already have a "productive notebook" where we write each other every night what we have to do the next day. Every chore is 1 point and at 500pts there's a reward for each alter, altering between us. We have a 5yo and a 10yo, the thing is: when it's not their turn to get the reward, both of them prefers play video games and the day me and the older ones are fronting we have like 15 points to get that day...
Contrary to what we've been rise with, I prefer using showing the exemple and positive renforcement with them. But it seems like it's not enough for specifically the 2 of them. We have a full time minimum wage job so I cant buy them a stuff animal for exemple every time they're doing something right lol
There are apps that turn doing real life stuff into an RPG game and reward you with currency. You then set real life rewards that you will let yourself have in exchange for that currency (for example ‘I can buy myself that book I want for 300 coins’). The one I’m using at the moment for myself and my system is called Do it now but there are several on both iOS and Android. There are also apps for parents to set up for kids that work in a similar way of earning rewards for doing real life stuff. It’s like the tech age version of a reward chart. I don’t know if that would be helpful for your littles and teens?
@@gabeangel8104 i've used habitica and really enjoyed it but i started it with someone and they fell off of it pretty quickly, which was discouraging, but if you're looking to someone to chat with i think they have like a bunch of different forms of groups to befriend people in the little groups online, and i would feel a lot better returning to it with someone, but that's kinda a dependence thing
Pokemon is great for me too. The show or the games, both bring me so much joy and always have. Most video games help a lot, actually. A lot of my self care has to do more with pain than emotion - I have a stomach disorder so I’m in pain for at least part of every day. I curl up around a pillow or a stuffed animal (anything very soft, I find super comforting/grounding) and watch a show on my phone, usually the West Wing or something with Gordon Ramsay. If my heart rate is up and I can’t seem to calm down, I go cuddle the dog or sit near my mom, both things that remind me things are okay. When all else fails, I have 2048 on my phone and books of sudoku and coloring books that usually work to calm me down by forcing me to think about something and then do it. I also really like saying nice things to other people. Being kind and making other people happy can really elevate my mood.
I am a newly diagnosed system and I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and they’ve all been helpful! So thank you for all the work you put into your content! During this video I found myself smiling a lot because I find cosplay and stuff really helps me as well! And I do find Pokémon so helpful with stress and stuff! Little breaks and distractions can do wonderful. You seem like a lovely person and I’m grateful for finding your content! So thanks again :)
Awsum video but omg the gengar.....love it!! Lol 💜💜
A thing that helped me was "One small thing" from My Little Pony the movie. If I could just do that first one small task, then suddenly all my dishes were clean and there were laundry in the machine. So I heard that a lot when I was alone with a kid in kindergarten and a baby.
I really liked this video! I relate to a lot of these, like using cleaning as a way to feel better and stay present, as well as reading tarot cards and taking hot baths. One of the biggest challenges for me was learning that changing my mindset was a form of self care. I had to reshape my perspective on myself and my abilities if I was going to even start doing things that were good for me... and that was really tough! But fostering a positive & informed mindset leads to a lot of fruit, so it was worth it! This was a really lovely video to watch, thanks for posting! :)
Unexpectables are a great podcast DnD cast too. :D
"can't give any forks" oh goodness!!! That was hilarious!!! And here's why. 1) it's midnight. 2) a "PG" gamer UA-camr I watch replaces F*ck with fork. And sh!+ with shorts. And sometimes you just "can't give a fork."
Exactly! It may be magick or it may be mental, but either way it works ^_^ and that's what matters.
Stardew Valley is my go to at night to unwind but def during the day is my two cups of coffee. I’m still trying to find other ways to keep my stress down but it can be hard since I have two kids lol
at the start of the video i was like, "why didnt ya'll just sit next to each other" and then i remembered there's only the one body lmao
Loved this video so much! I have been doing makeup, using my lightbox (for my seasonal depression) and lately mindfulness for my emotional self. When I start to feel triggered or stressed I ask my self what part of me is triggered or stressed. (Even singlets have aspects to our identities that we can sometimes identify.)
I then ask myself “what is I need in this moment?” And then do my best to give myself what I need. Most of the time I’m finding that it means standing up for myself when I feel wronged or invalidated by someone. I’m slowly building trust in myself to go with my instincts and listen to my emotions to be a barometer for my needs.
Kimkim! You need to understand how excited I got when you brought out Gengar, I'll be the first to admit i'm not well versed in the Pokemon games, but any Pokemon that are mixes of ghost, poison, dark, etc. are my jam, like so many under those types have designs that are just so goood and spooky cute!!
Videogames help me too! I started playing Planet Zoo and it's so relaxing when the only thing you have to worry about is care for the animals and building nice things!
You look great! Off topic but I had to say it! 💚
Amazing video as always. Great job, all of you!
Oh I havent had time to watch much youtube and I didnt see your new intro, it's amazing!! I love it!
Yaaaas! Gotta get out the witchy stuffs!
I've always heard this utensil theory as "spoon theory," but honestly I really enjoy how much fork sounds like another word. If I say to someone "I don't have enough spoons for this!" They'll be confused, and I just don't always have the spoons to explain what not having enough spoons means. Most people won't bat an eye if you say "I don't have enough forks to give" but they'll kind of get the general idea of what you're trying to say
Fork theory is a bit different than spoon theory. With spoons, when you spend them that’s it. You’re out. With forks you spend them you usually get forks back. For example, a shower may cost 3 forks but will give you 10 forks once you finish it. If you can shower you’re up by seven forks! But if you don’t have the three to pay up front then you can’t shower even if you know it will give you more.
@@TheEntropySystem I love that so much! It's also so personal. Everyone spends/earns a different amount of utensils for each activity. I'm sure this is especially important in a system
So with me i have depression so besides my medicine i actually do makeup to quell my episodes especially when it gets real bad
Something that helps me move when I'm overly depressed is breaking even the simplest things into many parts. Instead of saying I need to get ready for school I start off by saying I just need to sit up. If that's too hard, I just need to move my head some. Eventually, I'm completely ready without even realizing it.
My go-to, I guess coping mechanism, is listening to music. Music always calms me down and makes me feel better
if you like cosplay and D&D, i think you might want to look into larping? just from a psychological perspective, as a person with other mental conditions it's always interested me how someone with DID might feel during the experience, since the whole point of larp is exploring parts of self in some way through externalizing them. I'd look up Twin Mask's november trailer for a short good example of what it can look like
Being part of a performance production. Whether it’s theatre or choir, there’s something special about collaborating with other people to create something beautiful but temporary together.
I need more forks for it, but tabletop gaming is another one. Which, btw, you should come to Geekway to the West for. It’s an awesome convention. There is some RPGs but it’s all sorts of kinds of tabletop gaming. 😊
Hey! I know this video is super old (I've been binge watching lol) but if you guys haven't checked out tea lattes you definitely should! They're similar to a coffee latte with lots of milk/cream and sugar, but they're made with tea instead. Kind of like boba, but hot + without the pearls.
Just found your account but I immediately subbed because I already love your Content, I have DID and have been clinically diagnosed recently but have been through years of pain and I just wanna day thanks for the educational and helpful content to help me better understand myself
And also I’m confident I can send your videos to others to help t better understand
Stress coffee ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️ agree😎😎😎😎😎 I was introduced to coffee as a kid by my grandmother. It was comfort & made me feel special. It’s a big deal to know I cando that for myself
Oh KimKim! I love Gengar and you made me smile big!
Liz, DATA, and me (host) are all big into gaming for de-stressing. Warframe has been our new thing, but Sims has been a hole we can go into for years. We're not as big into Pokemon as we used to be, but we're really looking forward to the Rescue Team release!
I also really feel Wyn with the witch stuff. We're Kemetic (Egyptian) pagan and Bast has been very big in our journey. She is the Lady of Joy and when we're really not in a good place, She reminds us to take a breath and to just watch our cats, Her children.
Wyn is a Kemetic Wiccan! She mostly works with Isis and Osiris. The ancient Egyptian religion is so cool. -Kim Kim
oh my god warframe!! warframe is our system’s special interest and we have a bunch of fictives from it jsjsjsj,,,,
if you don’t mind me asking, what platform do you guys play on? we’ve been looking for people to play with recently- we’re on the Switch and also have a PC account that i still have yet to go through the starchart on!
- Theo
@@orokinchi we're on PC. Same name as here. We main Khora, but our first was Mag. Our partner system got us into it and it been a great way for us to bond.
What's funny is we also tend to clean when we get stressed or anxious, even depressed. Our caretaker alter, Yadira, cleans the house up and down because she knows it's a comfort for all of us. So, when I, the host tend to feel any sort of the negative emotions I can struggle with at times, I can hear her studdering to say "L-Let's clean." So, we tend to clean and before I know it , our whole house is spotless lol . Video games and music is a big one for us as well, not to mention Alicia, our gatekeeper, uses a stress relief tea she tends to get for us on occasion to help with stress :)
Just be careful, y'all. Chocolate does have caffeine.
My go to self-care is showering. It feels like a reset button for me.
Can you please do a review of the documentary "The Many Sides of Jane"?
How do I take care of myself and cope with shit?
Depression: Not well. I thought I was doing great with this because I had a good solid year where I largely felt great. But it's returning lately and GOD I forgot how hard this shit is! Ugh, I'm doing my best. I need to actually remember how to take care of myself. the apathy is overwhelming.
Stress: When I'm depressed, HORRIBLY. When I'm not as depressed or feeling good, pretty well! I've been a lot better and just pausing and taking a deep breath and then analyzing the situation and breaking down the steps. Whether it's my ED and I'm in a cafeteria and I'm overwhelmed, or suddenly i"m super busy and have no time to process everything, I've gotten better at breaking things into smaller more manageable steps.
I can usually tell how well I'm coping by how consistently I do my skincare routine. If I'm doing that twice a day, I'm dandy. If I am not even doing it once a day I'm starting to struggle more.
Your haircut gives me life, as the kids say. :D I find CBD oil really helpful with anxiety, and lowers flashback intensity.
I haven't been this early since..... I have never memed in my life so I got nuthin... well I'm EARLY. Love yall
Wyn you whoever is into fantasy would probably like The Magical Tavern podcast!
I'm watching this relatively soon after it posted to my feed, so YT may not be showing it yet, but I didn't see a card to the "forks" video you referenced. Not trying to nitpick, just wanted you to know, since I thought it was a good video that may help others, and they may be looking for it and be all confused! Keep up the good work, and thanks for another great video!
Fixing that now! I can’t believe we forgot 😫
Getting my hands in dirt. The downside here is that I have severe back issues. Spondylolisthesis. Yes it is a real thing. I’m getting ready for my fourth operation. My daughter has DID recently discovered over the past couple of years and wants nothing to do with me right now. We were close before that. Mostly I am sad. I miss my girl!
Wooow love the new hair!!! Ive missed a lot on here havent I😅
"A hug from my tummy" SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS WHY WARM DRINKS JUST WORK. THEY JUST DO.
Also Pokemon games or music are just like IMMEDIATE relaxation for me. I'm also working on my own spellbook full of spells and such from many many different books and authors and writing that is sooo calming for me, like writing the spells is magic in itself!
I personally don't have HEALTHY coping skills for dealing with anxiety, I will either eat a lot, or nothing at all. I was anorexic back in high school, and it conditioned me to think in a way that "If I have hunger to think about, I can't be stressed"
I guess it depends on anxiety or stress, because when I'm anxious all I can do is eat, and stress, the opposite
I have generalized anxiety and i think depression. Ive been in a real dark place lately. I have days like yesterday where no matter how much i sleep,im still tired. Some of my favourite things to do when im anxious is take a hot bubble bath and blare my music. It just helps me feel at oeace while listening to my favourite songs. Video games have really helped me lately. I've been really into Kingdom Hearts and have beat all three games within a span of 4 months. Theres so much to do in it and so many side quests. Im trying to beat the DLC right now and working towards earning Ultima Weapon. I usally deal with anxiety by distracting myself. Or if a need to talk it out i call my grandma who is my absolute rock. Shes 86 i think and still has her mind. I get all my sarcasm and sassiness from her. I can honestly talk with her for hours. She can make me calm down and relax instantly.
Regarding the whole "Playing video games to get your mind off other things" you mentioned in this video...
I do that too but some times I feel like I might be playing my game TOO much... like I realize there are other things I need to be doing but if I'm feeling over whelmed by real life it's some times just easier to lose myself in a game. When I was home over Christmas I was just like... I need to take out the trash BUT GAME I can do that later... and then I never took out the trash... actually one of my alters finally took out the trash for me.
Or just the opposite, there are some days when I log on the game, and then five minutes later I'm wishing I never even got out of bed. It's freaking awful when I feel so depressed that I can't even play a video game.
All things in moderation. What starts as a coping skill can turn destructive if we dive too deep. I believe you’ll find the balance tho :) -Kim Kim
Omg BOTW YASSSSS I LOVE ZELDA so much omfggg.
I reacted a bit too overboard there soz hahahaha
Hey Kim Kim have you thought about trying to make a pokemon in the inner world. Me and another alter Chase did and we were able to do battles inner world.
Wyn, my bipolar self needs you to come to North Carolina.....to do the dishes! Something to benefit both of us. Thank you for sharing your coping skills; however, I do HATE doing dishes! Do take care of yourself, I'm not thinking the integrations are necessarily a bad thing (but what do I know); I bet it feels pretty stressful.
Don't have DID but i do have genrilized angzity,ADHD and trauma things.i have a list of copeing skills on my notes app if I can't think I pull that up pick one try for an hour,it dont work go to anuther one intill something sticks. Music is one if seid things witch is normaly my go to.granted this is a new thing for me actively trying to use copeing skills and not fight flight or freaze..so i am not the best at it,more like rilly bad.but I am trying,so hey its okay that sometimes it wins.
Coping? Evasión, distraction watching cooking vids, a rom com where everything Will solve at the End and you dont have to think or worry much. Sometime ago watching Christmas móviles, but then a got depression for that season and started avoiding all things Christmas
Question, for when littles are out how do you help with dessosiation, when my littles are out they say the body is too big.
I don't have DID but will your conference be recorded in any way that people can purchase it at a later date?
Was Daniel close when Wynn was filming? I feel like I can hear him a lil bit.
I noticed Daniel too
NOT ANOTHER D&D PODCAST!!!!
I thought kit was one of the main frontiers as well, am I misremembering something?
She was for a while but not lately. Our regular fronters tend to shift around. -Wyn
@@TheEntropySystem cool. Thanks for replying
What’s the difference between Fork Theory and Spoon Theory? (They sound basically the same?)
With Spoon Theory you pay spoons to do an activity and when you're out you're out. With Fork Theory (which applies more to mental health than physical) you pay Forks to do an activity and that activity gives you forks back. For example, a shower may give you ten forks, but to get in the shower it costs you three. If you can take the shower then you've gained seven Forks. Yay! But if you don't have the three up front then you can't take the shower even though you know it will give you Forks back.
The Entropy System thanks for explaining! As a spoonie I could see that this could get complicated though if you don’t have enough spoons to spend the forks... yikes. 😬 🥄 🍴
..... spoon theory ?
Fork theory is like spoon theory, but for mental things instead of physical.
Cat Lynn I think the difference is that Fork Theory says if you can spend some forks in productive ways, you’ll get back forks in return. Whereas with Spoon Theory you can spend or borrow spoons, but eventually you’ll run out - spending spoons does not have the same possibility of returning on your investment that spending forks does. That to me is why it merits its own version rather than just being spoons. It’s possible for people to need both spoons and forks and some activities require a bit of both!
Oh ok, thanks guys! Im gonna have to rewatch the fork thing cause i feel like i saw it and forgot. :l
We learned it as Spoon Theory as well, when we were caring for our terminally ill wife. Same basic concept.
I think this channel did an excellent job explaining it! It seemed like a pretty cool way to build on the original concept.
I have no idea who or what I am suppose to be. I change personalities daily and whatever my surroundings are. I feel like an actor in this movie called Earth. Nobody gets me not even myself. Iure people in at the same time I push people away. I feel like I will never know and meet the real me. I am just walking around in this so called person suit.
It s always you❤❤❤ Just keep walking this adventure on Earth, whoever you are at each time, taking the pleasures, the feelings, the sensations, even the painful ones sometimes, as they come. You got it😉😉😉 It doesn t necessarily have to make logical sense, we just are, and keep on being, and that s enough. Sometimes it s painful, and all the other times it s blissful. Whoever we are❤
Did Daniel have to actively learn how to be the emotional protector or did he just innately know how to be good at it
The way he naturally responds to situations made him an emotional protector. He doesn't handle all of the emotional areas (Kit covers what he can't) but what he does he does well. -Wyn
@@TheEntropySystem thankyou
Just saying that personally “not another dnd podcast” wasn’t great for me. In the first couple episodes it was very explicit. It was a fair bit triggering for us.
That's fair. They have pretty raunchy humor. Sorry it was triggering for you :( -Wyn
