EnchiPants: a blog about the traumatic life of a nerdy girl who grew into a broken woman

Meteor Shower
Star light, star bright, First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have this wish I wish tonight. When I was little, this was one of my most treasured songs. I wished… quite frequently, tbh, to be rescued from the utter Hell that was my life. The traumatic and toxic abuse…

Just One of Those Days
I was going to write about the Perseids Meteor Shower that peaks today and tomorrow, at the taint of dawn (just before the ass crack of dawn, mind you). But… I saved the draft for tomorrow. I had trouble getting to sleep last night. Restless legs are a fun new addition to the suffering I…

Monday Mark – 1.0
I get a weekly subscription email from Mark Manson (<—link to his site) called “Your Next Breakthrough.” I haven’t participated in the prompts, but I would like to. They ARE thought-provoking, after all. And thus, I think I’ll start a weekly “Monday Mark” where I do just that. I’ll copy/paste what the weekly prompt is,…

Not Much Today
So I’ve been extra in the fatigue department the last few days. Today is no exception. Physical issues are worse than usual currently. I’ve been trying to blog this morning and just can’t keep my eyes open or concentrate. So, maybe later?

That’s Punny
Get it? “Punny” = Funny Pun?! No? Ok, but seriously… I love being able to journal/blog here, expressing all the feels and whatnot. Getting things OUT is my main goal. And theeeeen… there’s the fantasy novel I’ve been trying to write for years. I started off really strong on it, but life, ya know? It’s…

What Dat Blog Do?!
My blog – originally – was intended to be a daily journal for myself, something I could turn into a habit and commit to, since journaling has been the bane of my existence (yet another one of those, lol) since I was young. However, I’ve shared it with others… not just the public, but therapists…

Is There Anybody…
OUT there?! Aight. Had to share the sudden hit-me-in-the-brains song by my all-time favorite band: Pink Floyd. This one isn’t my fave of all their songs, but it’s pretty far up there. Dark Side of the Moon is top tier for me, The Wall is 2nd. I’ll post my favorite song of theirs at the…

Cats, Obviously…
I’m not a dog person. They’re loud and obnoxious, barking and jumping and slobbering… usually. With the exception of Captain Jack Sparrow – one of Granny Sidhé’s puppers – I wouldn’t want to own a doggo. I would, however, have another wolf-hybrid like Ch’Komi as a companion… but I just don’t have to strength physically…

Intrusive Thoughts
So Sayeth the Google (and it’s a lot of good info): Intrusive thoughts are unwanted, unwelcome, and often disturbing thoughts, images, or urges that pop into one’s mind without warning. They are common, and while often distressing, they are not typically harmful or indicative of mental illness. However, when these thoughts become persistent, intrusive, and lead to…

105º of EnchiPants
Did you know there’s a game about the 6º of Kevin Bacon (or “Bacon’s Law”)? I linked the Wiki for it there, but briefly (and quote-y 😜): The game’s name is a reference to “six degrees of separation“, a concept that posits that any two people on Earth are six or fewer acquaintance links apart.…

They Used To
So… I’d like to raise more awareness of what Anhedonia is. This prompt helps because I CAN list 30 things (I think?!), but due to Anhedonia, the title is necessary: “They Used To [Make Me Happy]” We’ll start with the physical shite I can’t (or almost can’t) do any more… Damn, this is feckin hard,…

White Knight Syndrome
So Sayeth the Google: White Knight Syndrome describes the tendency for some individuals to be drawn to, and excessively focus on helping, those perceived as vulnerable or damaged, often to the detriment of their own well-being. It’s characterized by a compulsive need to rescue or fix others, particularly in romantic relationships. This pattern can be a form of codependency, where…
