My partner and I got diagnosed. Once I got my meds I was actually able to clean the house. It feels amazing to keep up with chores and not live in filth. It always felt like I had to force myself to continue but I’m actually having fun and feeling proud of myself when I complete tasks.

Okay… Sending it to him cause he loves making fun of me for being american :/

Sending this to my new british friend asap

Years of relating to ADHD people and memes, sure I had it and “planning” to get around to it, and I finally actually went to see a doctor.

Best I can offer is a couple a get well soon cards for the boat and your bank account.

my partner is going to a psych today and I’ll be going too if it proves to be affordable

valid

So real, but after a lot of introspection (weed), I’ve finally just settled on choosing thirsty traumatized slut as my personality, there’s no sense fighting it.

I’m wearing my collar but I’m off the leash >:)

As stressed as I am and as scared as I am I will remember the time I spent loving and caring for my partner and my queer friends. It doesn’t take privilege to find and love in a community, it is what we do. If you have trauma I understand how you feel, and I urge you to seek help when/if you can, professional or otherwise. Just don’t be alone, and try to have hope.

That’s not the point, the idea is years from now there will be things that stood out from this time and you’ll’ve remembered them fondly, without the hurt and the struggle that stand out to you now.

The wish is that now we can focus on the good things, the things that are happening now and enjoy them as fondly as we will remember them.

😭

what do they call it, “Get stuck in impossibly tiny hole upside down and die”?

Spelunkers are crazy, out of every stupid thing you could do that has a high chance of killing you of you if you make a tiny mistake you choose spelunking?

Oh no! Well as long as it is stored safe <3

Get a fund me going for a tiny fridge and fridge thermo you can use just for your med storage maybe? I’d definitely pay into that what I can. We all deserve well kept estrogen, not our fault our damn ovaries went the wrong direction.

y’all keep your estradiol in the fridge?

Edit: I was sure I was right but I looked it up to be sure, don’t store it in the fridge ladies. Keep it in a drawer (away from sunlight), 20 and 25 degrees C (68 and 77 degrees F).

Sorry for hijacking the shitpost for the safety announcement. carry on dorks

It’s funny cause even if someone is transphobic, on some level they do see you as valid which they’d never intentionally admit. But they will unintentionally admit it with their misandry/misogyny.

Yeah, I can totally see that being why the trope is super prevalent.

Me too, I had a non-gendered nickname based on my dead name, and was going to just have my middle chosen name be a lovely name that fit that nickname. But then I decided I hated the nickname and got sour on the idea of “making it easy” for my parents to dead name me in their heart, while using a chosen name.

Ended up not having a middle name, which is cool because I get to “legally attest” to not having a middle name sometimes which I thought was interesting.

That’s fair, I never intended to invalidate anyone’s decision to have any sort of chosen name.
