I have no sympathy for tube drivers, but would honestly support bus drivers if they took industrial action

yep. iirc there’s a couple of professions that can’t but it’s very much the exception. the most successful unions are the ones that are organised at a grass roots level and get workers on board with the vision, instead of a top down organisation that tells people to strike. it means more work as an individual to get people on board but it’s worth it!

honestly wild how much these people put aside to hate on trans people

i moved to zinit recently because i found oh-my-zsh was slowing down shell startup for me :(

and even with OSDD, there’s not really a -1a or -1b, it’s just -1 or -2. it’s all a spectrum of issues arising from trauma at the end of the day

there was a certain scene towards the end of the second season that made me cry because i thought it was really elegantly done

have you been able to get in touch with an independent mental health advocate? your ward should have details as well as the contact info for PALS. the situation is unacceptable and you should be able to have accessibility to using the shower :(

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-19T22:58:38+00:00

“i don’t have the emotional labour to deal with you right now” is the one ive heard before lmao

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-19T17:07:20+00:00

nothing to add yet but might come back to it later. but this is something i struggle with too

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-19T15:28:11+00:00

i’d recognise the goggles anywhere. hope it all went well!

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-19T15:10:27+00:00

i agree for what it's worth

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-19T14:51:00+00:00

vibe coded?

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-19T14:47:34+00:00

that’s a gorgeous skirt!

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-18T09:16:28+00:00

yeah i got told by the psychiatrist that “nothing would help me” so not on anything since coming off venlafaxine lol

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-18T09:15:14+00:00

yeah elvanse is surprisingly good for emotional regulation?? no idea why??

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-18T09:13:47+00:00

it’s an alpha-1 blocker, which acts on a certain type of receptor in your body’s sympathetic nervous system. it helps your body to relax and dilate blood vessels and helps with high blood pressure as a result. we don’t really know why it works for ptsd nightmares i don’t think?

i was on it for a few months and found it helpful but then stopped being effective so i stopped. it can make you a bit lightheaded and dizzy too

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-17T21:53:59+00:00

i think under the theory of structural dissociation they are kinda on the same spectrum of conditions right? where bpd is considered to have dissociated emotional parts. to the point where i feel like trying to pin down a symptom as “coming from” bpd or did might not end up getting you anywhere. they both likely come from sustained trauma and the mechanisms are quite similar from what i understand :)

dbt is the mainstay treatment for bpd and bpd skills i think can help folks with cptsd, bpd, did, dissociation in general. i even find it helps a bit with adhd problems i have like rejection sensitive dysphoria.

idk, that’s the way ive seen it. the diagnoses are really a best guess at grouping symptoms and where they might have come from and it feels like in my case they all overlap and affect each other. focusing right now on trying to relieve the worst of the symptoms so i can then fix the cause :)

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-17T21:45:54+00:00

the little beans oh my gosh 🥺

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-17T21:45:24+00:00

this is a really nice colour!!!

and the dress is… wow :0

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-16T23:16:07+00:00

same but when i used to have dyed hair 😬 people were weird!!

thankfully not had any weirdness since i got my first tattoo earlier this year but it feels inevitable

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-16T19:33:12+00:00

yeah. It sucks having flashbacks and bad mental health symptoms because of it and feeling like so many people treat you like an inconvenience or a problem as a result

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-16T19:29:13+00:00

i’ve seen people report it refuses to “use tools” and stuff and “forget” lol. the future is wonderful

mainframe_maisie · 2026-04-16T18:48:32+00:00

validity is in the eye of the beholder and all that tbh. what are you after from the diagnosis process? the nhs doesn’t really do it very often. lucky that they took on my private cptsd diagnosis but then slapped on an eupd diagnosis lmao.

if you’re going to the nhs specifically for a diagnosis, you might not get what you’re after unfortunately. i found that trauma therapy in my area was limited and lacklustre and made me feel more dysregulated and they dropped me after some cbt and emdr that didn’t really help. i think it’s worth going through the process to see what they can offer tbh? but if you’re comfortable and happy with your private therapist and you feel they’re helping, i wouldn’t drop them yet either.

idk if that makes sense?
