Oh god I hate this. I went out to buy something off a seller on FB marketplace (with confirmed pickup time) in the middle of winter once. I had no vehicle, which she knew. She took a nap and left me waiting outside in -45 degree weather. I called, texted and rang the doorbell, then she had the nerve to be mad at ME for "not doing enough" to get her attention.
This was in the middle of lockdowns too so there weren't any stores or restaurants I could go into to warm up. I got frostbite and hypothermia 🥲
Not an overreaction at all. It's a major breach of privacy, and the last bit of her post makes it pretty obvious she's just fishing for sympathy for herself
My dad's shitty wife did this to me too. We don't talk anymore.
I have PCOS. My cramps were so bad I'd be fainting, throwing up and having the occasional seizure. My pain hasn't been anywhere near as bad since I started testosterone (though this might make me an outlier)
It's the only actual change in my PCOS symptoms that I've noticed
A very tiny tip I could've used that I never see: stay away from foods that are spicy enough to make your nose run. I literally didn't have the strength in my chest to blow my nose for a few days after my surgery, then I made the mistake of eating spicy curry and making my nose run. It was unpleasant
My boy Trig also responds to "no" because I say it to him so often
1) scared of pain 2) expensive 3) most post-op results pic I see makes me think it's not 100% what I want, and if I'm not 100% sure about a surgery then I'm not getting it
If my fellow players don't remember the buffs I give them after the first two reminders I just stop buffing their characters. Then when they start dying and conveniently remember that I can heal+buff them, I get to ask "are you gonna remember to add your bonuses on your own this time?" because I'm a jerk and I like having everyone at my mercy
Heard it when I was 12, loved it but didn't choose it because it's not a 'white' name (I got bullied in school for being a racial minority and wanted to avoid it happening again), then ten years later I realized I'd never stop wanting that name and finally changed it
Eating them makes me feel like my soul is ascending
It felt nice to think about how I'm not gonna sweat through everything I wear this summer now that I won't have a binder cooking me alive lol
The first Harry Potter movie. Any movie about a neglected or abused kid getting to leave their home behind, go on some kinda adventure and be with some friends always made me feel things as a child
Dick, bussy and "the other thing" lol
But I'm also a writer too and maybe it's just me but I would feel way too unserious writing "bussy" or "boypussy" in one of my pieces
My dad and his wife insist that raw chicken is fine and that the juices left all over the counter, cutting board, knife, etc. from it are "just water" and won't get anyone sick.
I have 2 food-related diplomas and 2 extra certifications. I've been a chef for years. They will not listen to me and I don't care enough to try and talk to them about it anymore
Back when I was just starting to pass, I still used the women's washroom at my college campus for safety reasons and because pretty much everyone had already seen me before and didn't care. But eventually when new students showed up, there was an incident where a girl came in, took one look at me and then ran away. I've been so anxious about coming off as creepy ever since then omfg
Part of it could be that low self esteem = low standards. Back when I was younger and felt like I was nothing, I was willing to forego transitioning in order to be with the person I wanted. Now that I actually have self worth, I'd still be upset if my fiancé suddenly decided he didn't want to marry a trans person but I wouldn't not transition over it.
Bro transphobes are gross as hell ðŸ˜
My dad's wife deadass said the same shit to me when I started socially transitioning. She started interrogating me about the nastiest stuff and insisted I was attracted to my sister. I don't know what gives transphobes the nerve to say stuff like that but it's TERRIBLE
Before transitioning I looked way older than I was (cause stress lol), to the point where I got offered alcohol at restaurants on the regular as a minor and never got ID'd for anything, ever
Now that I've transitioned I looked exactly my age. It's pretty nice
He's a stubborn asshole serving a good god. Too much bad behaviour and he gets his powers taken away until he behaves again
He's also got wings but is too scared of heights to make use of them
It's easy for me to distinguish dissociation from other things because it's not like anything else. I can't startle while I'm dissociating because everything is so out of focus that it can't even register. Someone could set off fireworks right behind me or physically grab me and I doubt I'd even notice. Kinda sounds like the opposite of what you describe hyperfocus to be like
No matter how I try to focus or register what's going on around me, I just can't. I can't even think while I dissociate. I've cut my hand open while doing lab work before and didn't realize until I went to hand in my results and saw it was full of blood. It's like I'm not even there
Depends on the person. It helps if they know you well and are aware of what dissociation is.
Some days during lab work at college I'd spend all of it dissociating. I remember one time my favourite classmate approached me while I was out of it and said something along the lines of "to the untrained eye, you look VERY focused. But to me, you look like you're in another universe". I'm glad she knew me well enough to tell lol
An evil-aligned cleric who's serving a good-aligned god and is constantly getting punished and threatened by said god for his bad behaviour
Inability to sleep properly. My immune system is completely shot, I can't focus during the day, my eyes hurt, and occasionally I chip my teeth from how hard I clench them during my nightmares.
I wasn't safe while sleeping as a kid and now I'm paying for that with every aspect of my health.
If it helps, most psychiatrists have probably seen worse and are probably used to it to some degree. My father was a psychiatrist and once very casually talked about the time a patient got pee on the chairs in the waiting room, and when I asked how many years ago it happened his response was "I don't know, it happens all the time anyways"
If you're a little unhygienic at an appointment with your psychiatrist, you're probably not the first one and you definitely won't be the last
If you're anything like me you'll want your arms to be under pillows or a heavy blanket. For the entire first week I'd wake up with my arms above my head if I didn't weigh them down
How do you keep yourself from moving in your sleep?
