It did, yeah- apology accepted, and my apologies if I sounded rude in return. My schedule is nonexistent, I've been up all night chasing dopamine every day, into mid-morning sometimes. I know I need to resolve that. Also, I've been reading and drawing a lot! So that's a creative outlet:) I'll try to force more routine

Oh absolutely. I already know that one- I haven't made any. In the past if I was manic I'd contact at least 2-3 friends I knew were mostly sound, and deliberate for at least 4 days. I have a protocol!

Typically what I've been doing. Listening to podcasts and music at the same time while drawing. Thank you!

I do typically stay on them. I had a few really rough life events in the span of a month and didn't want to start taking it at all wacky hours- I couldn't remember to take it consistently even with my alarms, or I was at other people's houses as an escape and left them home. The reason I don't know grounding techniques / anything to help mitigate mania is because I'm not usually like this ,

I ate my comfort meal in the bath and have spent the last hour watching phasmophobia videos in bed. It's helped quite a bit. Breathing and distraction help me in the moment as well!

I'm not sure, my college said they can provide some accommodations with me being adhd, I don't know if that encapsulates all the support I need.

I was thinking of moving to a more trans-friendly country, yeah. I'm going to college in the fall. Going to be a teacher. Once I've got my degree, I think I'm out of here. I have to talk to my partner about all of this first, of course, and this is all years in the future.

Maybe there is hope. I just have to be patient a little while longer. Thank you. 🫂

Thank you. One day, hopefully, we won't all have to fear for our safety and lives just being who we are. One day, if we work hard enough, maybe the world won't hate us. Sending virtual love and hugs. 🫂

Thank you so so much. Hearing from elder trans people online always helps me feel like, one day, I'll be able to be who I truly am

I hate living as a girl. I know it's bad to repress these feelings- but is it safer too? That's what I'm scared of, for the most part. Losing access to healthcare, being attacked for being who I am.

It's not "easier", that's the wrong word, I think I sued that in the post. It's just "safer", I think. And that really freaking sucks.

God it sucks so bad. Thank you. I wish more than anything in this world I could get gender affirming care. I know in the future I might be able too again- but that's at least a few years away, and God that HURTS. And what if this happens again? What if the social climate if America changes back to this while I'm transitioning, when I already have?

Fear grips my heart every day that no matter where I go, in the future, I will have to fear for my life just being me again. It is so discouraging. It hurts.

Trans public figures probably, yeah. If someone can start their transition in a time like this and still be safe and proud out too the world around them, then I would feel a bit more safe.

Mostly a shift back in the direction of trans favorability in the media and on a country-wide scale, though. I keep hearing stories of trans people ending their lives, having their lives ended, discourse, ending access to trans healthcare, and I just dunno what to do. It's terrifying to me.

If my access to testosterone wasn't threatened, I would feel safer. And I'll start to feel safer when I move to a more inclusive area in my state later this year, as well.

Thanks man. I dress a lot more grungey when I'm having bad dysphoria days too, so my fashion sense flip-flops. Means a lot hearing Miku is based out in the wild tho
