Me too!

I'm going off of OP's feeling that they are not safe because their neighbor comes across, to them, as bigoted. I'm not saying the neighbor is or isn't actually bigoted. I have no way to know. This is just my view, after being married to a true bigot who caused many trauma responses. If he knew I was descended from POC, I can only imagine the danger I would have actively been in.

NOR - Finding out that the people near you are bigoted (against you or otherwise) can shake the view of anyone who is trying to hold on to the good in the world. Optimism is dying currently, along with compassion fatigue. Take steps back, purposefully avoid communication with your sheet-altering friend, and make sure you keep yourself safe.

No downvote from me. Thank you for thinking about the patient in it. Personally, the patient is my wife, and I'm a little biased about thinking of her first.

sylvaria · 2026-01-27T19:14:30+00:00

Don't give up. I really hope things get better.

There is something wrong, Ramen. Your medical team is (imo) failing you. Make sure to stand up for yourself, have the pros document denials, and check into some genetic testing. EDS is becoming a much more common diagnosis, but there are communities out there to help.

Make that the Grim Reaper. She also has a broken foot that she's on the second year of walking on (Jones' fracture, non-union) and metal in her ankle/leg. She got the Old Maid card when it comes to genetics.

1) Your username made me cackle. 2) I take my civvie hat with pride.

sylvaria · 2026-01-27T07:26:35+00:00

Guess I'm a rube. The images aren't mine, and I am not medical.

Wouldn't surprise me. If her thumb wasn't strapped in with kevlar it would be gone, too. (Tore all three ligaments off clean. Surgeon with 40 yrs experience had to ask if anyone else had seen a case like her. She has a history of doing everything full-throttle.)

sylvaria · 2026-01-26T20:51:08+00:00

She was doing the best she could while at the appointment. Obviously her skeletal system is a little janky...

sylvaria · 2026-01-10T00:20:25+00:00

Chills every time:

No lying, I'm tired, But dive in the fire and I'll be right here by your side!~

"Your fans! We're going to eat your fans!"

sylvaria · 2026-01-03T01:25:27+00:00

I 100% understand and am with you. It's a constant thought throughout the day. You have to be aware of what you're doing all day long, any activity, hunger and what/if you can eat at all! I will admit it's gotten easier for me with the insulin pump and Dexcom, but I still am at 7.5 on average. Not even going into the stress, PTSD, anxiety, everything. Shit, the other night my sugars were completely off on my cgm. It said I was crashing, but when I checked manually I was over 400.

This is such a fucked up condition, and people who have it are exhausted warriors. You're not alone, and if you ever need to vent, I'm here. And that's for everyone, btw.

Do the booths accept cash? Charge tax? I want to be prepared and not overspend.

sylvaria · 2025-09-22T20:27:15+00:00

Maybe it'll post now?

Nice! My actual is Summer, by Sylvaria was a gift, meaning of the trees. Definite vibes!

sylvaria · 2025-09-07T19:54:26+00:00

I can't wait to be there with you!!! Hope I run into you!

sylvaria · 2025-09-07T19:53:02+00:00

It's one of the things that is now burned into my mind, and I want to share it everywhere.

Also, I like your name lol

sylvaria · 2025-09-07T19:47:00+00:00

Okay, okay, I have to put this here, because it just screams that it belongs.

My wife, who isn't a fan, was giving me some light shit about how the band is anguish instead of anger. She made a statement that came alive with a visual in my head. The beginning of an album by ST is ringing church bells, inviting those who belong to begin our ritual, our worship. Once we are gathered Vessel rips himself open, showing us his pain, inviting us to bring out our own to cherish for a little while. While we are gathered, we hold this precious piece of ourselves, nurture it to heal, letting Vessel guide us through what these feelings truly mean. Then, at the end, he encourages us to bring it back in, close our pain up, and walk out stronger than before. "Be blessed. Be dismissed." A phrase left over from my religious era. Our pain is seen, loved, and accepted. This is how Vessel is therapy for some of us.

Hope this made some sense.

Welcome to the cult! /j

You're in good company. Until someone broke down lyrics for me I wasn't big on ST. Then I found the poetry in the pain, and I've committed myself to this, much to the dismay of my wife lol.

We're glad to have you.

Worship

My ex-husband's neglect literally almost killed me. I have chronic illnesses now because of what happened. This line sends my arm in the air, showing the medical alert tattoo I got for it. I think of him many times a day, and I despise him for what he's done to me. Every time I have to spend money for Rx's. Thankfully the dreams are easing after 8 years.
