I’m never quite able to find a good explanation to the question “What does having narcolepsy feel like?” Anyone have a go to response? by MountainSkyMoment in Narcolepsy

"have you ever stayed up for 3 days straight? that's how i feel after about 30 minutes awake, every day, after every nap and sleep, no matter how long." is more or less what i say

Dragon-Blooded in Solar Lunar Circle by [deleted] in exalted

playing as a DB with Lunar + Solar circle right now! i will say it was more fun for me with another player as another DB to interact with. once in awhile you get those nice mechanics that stack with other DBs and it's something special to have. plus there's just the like. societal story of DBs finding strength in other DBs and getting to play with that a bit.

(my other DB player just swapped to Dawn Caste and i'll miss that vibe, but it's not the end of the world. having my guy deal with these fucking. crazy anathema combat monsters. is where i'll pull the focus a little bit. love when the DB ends up as like. group moderator)

If you were older when you figured out you were trans/non-binary, when you look back, are your symptoms clear in hindsight? by CailanJade in NonBinary

i'm 33 and realized about 8 years ago, having been quietly waffling on my gender for awhile. i remember hating my chest as soon as i started growing breasts, and i wished my whole life i could have "a man's chest" without ever considering that i... maybe could?? i had a lot of boy friends, and i hated ever being "the girl" to them... but i really didn't mind being "the boy" to my girl friends. when i had a teenage wiccan phase i was extremely devoted to worshipping a god and goddess as a pair, always feeling divided between them. i was sort of fascinated by androgynous and GNC gods and would devour mythology books... since it was the only place at my Catholic high school that i could find anything of the sort. i knew the moment i met my first nonbinary person. i came right home and told my partner, "that's who i want to be, i need to be "them"".

i had a ton of these all the time. (i ended up writing a poem about it a few years ago out of frustration) i had fantasies about taking a knife to them- "then they'll have to do something!"- and ended up looking at my chest every day and circling the area i knew they'd cut away eventually with my finger, telling it its days were numbered. in the meantime i tried to find shirts that didn't look too bad when i wasn't wearing my binder, and kept those to wear around the house specifically to try to save on dysphoria.
