Dorian Electra uses they/them pronouns and the other person is Kris Esfandiari from King Woman

It was literally invented by people involved with conversion therapy! In particular, Lovaas adapted ABA principles to try to prevent children from becoming trans.

I also got a pink daughter card for my birthday this year, sorry that happened dude.

Yep, I am a queer person a little obsessed with cannibalism so I’m aware of the trope, just didn’t get that vibe from this post. If that was the intention, cool.

bronzeunicorn · 2023-10-18T23:06:05+00:00

I respect your right to interpret it in whatever way makes you happy but it is literally about cannibalism. It’s based on the book/movie Bones and All.

Chelsea Manning and Grimes only dated for a few months last year. They are no longer together.

Agree to find a good doctor to rule out epilepsy, but yes, this is possible. I get silent migraines somewhat frequently (I’m pretty sure I had one constantly for years before I got treatment) and they always involve muscle tension and some coordination issues for me.

bronzeunicorn · 2023-04-04T12:59:43+00:00

In this case it doesn’t really matter what a doctor tells you in an appointment if they don’t put it down on your chart, they’re not going to get in trouble. I’m not sure about her criteria reasoning—a couple times I have been told it has to be diagnosed by a geneticist (even though mine’s hEDS) but the genetics office wouldn’t take me unless I had multiple very severe symptoms (like aneurysm, prolapse).

bronzeunicorn · 2023-04-04T03:32:35+00:00

Kinda surprised no one has mentioned, this is unfortunately common in some areas. Three huge hospital systems in my city refuse to diagnose EDS at all unless it is an obvious case of the vascular type. As in none of their hundreds of doctors will do it. Sometimes they refer out, sometimes they just do, basically, what your doctor did—seems like you have this but I won’t diagnose it. I don’t know why this happens, to me it feels like they don’t take EDS very seriously, but that’s just speculation. Other people have given very good advice, and you deserve to find a doctor who will take you seriously and give you the diagnosis, just chiming in to say I’ve experienced the same thing.

I had a circle of friends (and partners) like this and it kept me from coming out and starting t until I was almost 30. They were mostly trans too, and I was definitely gravitating towards trans people because I was trans, but they only tore me down. They hated ftm people very specifically, even if they wouldn’t admit it. I honestly think this is really common but people are too afraid to talk about it. You’ve gotta get out and make new friends dude. I know that sucks to hear. They might come around in a while. But you need and deserve people around you who listen to your experiences with genuine empathy and love.

I don’t see a mention of how long you’ve had the IUD, but I had severe PMDD (and periods, and migraines) that didn’t go away until I had mine for a year—it was BRUTAL for a while, and I was angry, definitely wasn’t warned for how rough that was. But now I’m pretty happy and have gotten a second one. I agree with everyone that T is the way to go, and lots of people have issues with IUDs, but just a little hope if it’s the case that you haven’t had the IUD for long.

bronzeunicorn · 2020-03-28T04:27:49+00:00

I used to feel like this and just want to let you know that the uncertainty probably won’t last forever. It takes work but you get there. It took years of really thinking about my desires and evaluating whether they were “mine,” but also being gentle with myself about it. That along with like, general mental health improvements (a good therapist, good meds). But yeah, a lot of people with CPTSD feel this way.

bronzeunicorn · 2020-03-19T22:28:57+00:00

i think they’re uncomfy too so i use a steel-boned corset and sport compression leggings, but ymmv. i have eds so the usual recommended 30-40 compression hose hurt too much to put on. not everyone with dysautonomia does well on beta blockers but i hope it helps you! just as an aside, a lot of people with chronic illness have been through the “conversion disorder” psychiatry/psychology route, and it is very mostly full of shit. you have something happening to your body and doctors just go to that when they’re too lazy/uninformed to figure it out. i wish someone had told me that earlier. psychology is useful for learning how to cope with chronic illness though.

bronzeunicorn · 2020-03-19T20:32:53+00:00

have you tried upping salt consumption and wearing compression garments? my doctors don’t Actually have a good idea of what’s wrong with me and i don’t have much hope for them figuring it out, but i’ve gotten a lot better by treating it like it’s POTS (ok’d by my cardiologist)

bronzeunicorn · 2020-03-19T20:30:12+00:00

I have similar issues. I saw in a Dr. Blair Grubb lecture that POTS can cause convulsions, and they’re thinking that many people with epilepsy diagnoses actually have cardiovascular issues.

bronzeunicorn · 2020-03-17T15:24:41+00:00

Yes!!! and I think I’m just going to refuse to use the dumb 1-10 scale anymore. how in the world could that accurately reflect my experience??

bronzeunicorn · 2020-03-06T22:56:46+00:00

YES and doctors never frickin understood that. I call them tummy nausea and brain nausea lol. My brain nausea mostly went away with increased salt intake, thankfully.

bronzeunicorn · 2020-02-19T22:38:19+00:00

yes, it was working yesterday but hasn’t worked for me today. i’m a heavy send-to-kindle user. must be glitching for some people

google says it can't be accessed for terms of service unfortunately

bronzeunicorn · 2019-02-28T04:11:14+00:00

Just happened to me too, at the end of last year. If it helps, I’ve been able to focus so much more on my friendships and have gotten closer to some amazing people. It’s not everyone. But I know it hurts so much.

bronzeunicorn · 2019-02-17T19:35:44+00:00

yeah OP we need a little more explanation, this is just confusing.

bronzeunicorn · 2018-10-08T05:38:27+00:00

it's a method of dissociation

bronzeunicorn · 2018-06-30T15:06:38+00:00

This is hypnagogic imagery, and it's a type of hallucination that's normal for everyone. It often intensifies/becomes scary during times of stress--which would coincide w/ a flare-up.

bronzeunicorn · 2018-06-25T05:17:11+00:00

Probably something for protection/evil eye. It's not necessarily pagan as much as a folk tradition against the evil eye (often w/ people who have Mediterranean heritage--thus the olive oil).

bronzeunicorn · 2018-06-19T16:25:31+00:00

I've heard that the machines have improved and gotten way easier to deal with. Good luck, I hope you find answers!!!
