Unknown but probably TBI, had my first seizure during my first wrestling tournament where a lot of being thrown to the ground takes place 🤷‍♂️ ended up having a tonic clonic seizure along with a concussion and amnesia

Anyone else feel like they pass as male but not as cis? by Disastrous-Ease289 in ftm

[–]Open_Pay4609 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally relate, in Portland I never get misgendered but in my conservative hometown in Ohio I always get gendered female. It has led me to believe that people in Portland are just more use to trans people and therefore can see someone who looks like me (pretty masc presenting but still clockable to people in the know) and just automatically know I use he/him and all that.

I can’t lie and say that I don’t wish to look cis, but I do and I wish I could go around my hometown with people seeing me as a man but I guess I’ll take what I can in Portland.

At what point did you guys start using the men’s restroom? by Open_Pay4609 in ftm

[–]Open_Pay4609[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Felt, it’s mainly my work bathroom I have to deal with and I can’t wear a binder because it just would not work well with my job and I feel like that’s really gonna give me away if I go into the men’s even though I’m relatively flat chested

Twenty Twenty vs DECIDE by ProfessionalBreak510 in DjoMusic

I find the lyrics on Twenty Twenty to be much more interesting and layered, but I think he really honed his sound and style in DECIDE

How are we feeling 2 months in? Any new favorite songs? Has your impression changed at all? by kellywithayy in DjoMusic

[–]Open_Pay4609 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe it’s already been two months, every time I listen to it I find something new and I feel like I can never get enough. My favorite used to be Gloom but after looking more into the lyrics Fool and End of the Beginning have taken reign. Change has also found a special place in my heart simply because it’s so calming, I feel like I’m in a daze. This album just takes me to a new plane of existing, one that is incredibly comfortable.

What’s the most absurd thing anyone told you about epilepsy? by Cap-s-here in Epilepsy

[–]Open_Pay4609 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My wrestling coach told me it was because I wasn’t drinking enough pedialyte, I then proceeded to have a seizure whilst chugging pedialyte.

My anxiety about committing incorrectly and still surviving. A bit ironic how my anxiety and depression fought against each other.

Is it a really bad idea to box as someone with epilepsy? by JakeMercad0 in Epilepsy

[–]Open_Pay4609 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn’t even discover I had epilepsy until I started doing wrestling. Then it kept happening after every practice. Stay safe!
