  • I heard people straight up think that maddy was like, crazy and wrong and trying to get her to commit suicide together, or reading the most overtly trans scenes as being her memories/hallucinations not isabel/owen’s so there’s definitely a million ways to misinterpret if you aren’t looking for the transness.

    I was with you in terms of hyping it up a little too much the first time and being sort of let down (but also just astonished and devastated that the movie ended when it did). It was almost more impactful the second time but that is probably due to personal circumstances of mine


  • I read that comment when you posted it! Doing my best to learn I guess, even before I accepted this might be a thing lol

    I have no idea if stimulants will work well for me. I’ve definitely used caffeine to self medicate most of my adult life so maybe? But either way I know it won’t be a magic bullet, just one thing to try if a doc recommends it I guess. I honestly don’t know what not being able to mask would look like for me, but I work from home on a computer and have very accepting friends so hopefully the adjustment wouldn’t be too rough? I try not to downplay (or play up) my own struggles but all things considered I’ve lived a pretty chill life I feel like. Lots of self-repression and some serious struggles socially at times but you know, not outright horribly traumatic? So maybe that helps idk.

    Thanks for your prolific support and advice all over the site! I just got new insurance so I’ll have to see what it will cost to see someone this summer. I hate to say it but I want to see if I can get the ball rolling on this diagnosis stuff without telling them I’m trans… (is that a horrible idea?) Let’s just say I don’t want to be on that list given the way the US is going lately… My gender is none of their business and even barring government action, telling your doctor you’re trans unfortunately seems like an excellent way to get subpar medical care. Or maybe I’m needlessly paranoid but I’d rather be paranoid and wrong than the target of fascist repression or plain ol discrimination.


  • I still struggle with burnout to this day due to being an overworked IT contractor for years.

    hahahahaha ha… ha… fuck

    This video finally convinced me I probably have A(u)DHD. I already thought I was on the spectrum probably but didn’t feel any need to go to a psychiatrist for it (I don’t… like or trust them? not for any great reason necessarily I just have an aversion) but if there’s any chance ADHD meds help me I probably owe it to myself to go

    I don’t know why this is what did it. probably the fact that the 2 month procrastination jobby is basically what I’m doing with a key part of my day job right now. Ruined my whole weekend and the mental block is still there.










  • for how long? more than likely you won’t get yourself killed, but its not zero risk either, you should really get them done (or diy) soon, say in the next 2 weeks, maybe a month if you really don’t drive much at all. I know one person who drove all the way until his were grinding metal on metal, he lived just fine but it was risky and probably cost him more to fix because of it (though idk, replacing rotors seems to be really common these days, they’re almost treated as normal wear I feel like, but if they’re in good shape and you’re DIYing it you can reuse them)
