Starting to feel better

My #MentalHealth has been pretty low today. But right now I feel better. My partner made me a big pot of noodles for dinner. I always feel good when she cooks for me. And I made her a bowl of cheesy scrambled eggs. She loves my eggs.

But I'm in a situation... My gender dysphoria is bad right now so I need to wear a hoodie but I'm sweating a lot so I need to take off my hoodie. It's snowing pretty hard but it's hot in here.

I'm sipping on some coffee from earlier today. It's pretty good. She used the Nutcracker Sweet flavor coffee. I mixed it with my pumpkin caramel syrup and some oat milk.

December 21st is the winter solstice. It's a pagan holy day called Yule. It's my winter holiday. I exchange gifts and have a nice feast.

Depressed for no reason

My dermatologist office called me to let me know my doctor quit the practice so they won't refill my meds until I see a new doctor. I've been getting my ketoconazole shampoo for years. This is so annoying.

At 440 I asked my partner for more norco. She brought me a half pill and 2 aspirin. She asked me if I wanted CBD cream and I said no. I told her I am feeling incredibly depressed but I don't know what is wrong. She asked me to go sit with her while she works.

My gender dysphoria is really bad tonight. My chest makes me feel disgusting. I have 38f and I usually wear sports bras. I don't have a proper binder. I want to get one soon. I'm back on testosterone so I kinda want to be masc again.

I've gained 20lbs since con. My pants don't fit me. I gotta buy new pants. It's sad.

I'm going to a cookie crawl on the 15th with my QPP. We were supposed to go see Wicked on Monday but I cancelled cuz I was really depressed after therapy. He called me cuz he knows how much I want to see the movie. I forgot to tell him my birthday was cancelled. He said he was looking forward to it and I told him. I'm gonna try to do the cookie crawl and I'm hoping to go get bubble tea.

I have therapy tomorrow at noon. I'm gonna just do it alone. I sent my therapist a set of journal prompts a few days ago. I think I'll show him the new journal book I got from Amazon. It's a question each day book for couples. I haven't started yet. I'm gonna ask my therapist if he has any journal prompts for me that I can do. But I find decent couples journal prompts on Pinterest.

Gender dysphoria sucks

I have this love hate relationship with my body. I don't have bottom dysphoria cuz I've never wanted dangly bits. I am on norethindrone to stop my period. But I've got a really big chest. I don't have a proper binder. I use sports bras. But I still obviously have boobs. If I could afford top surgery I wouldn't want nipples. I'm weird. Id get a big chest tattoo. Maybe someday.

Holidays

Well. As the holidays roll around (Thanksgiving and Christman for me) my emotions are all over the place. I am happy for like food on Thanksgiving and gifts on Christmas, but I also dreed those events.

I have to go to my Omas (Grandmas) for both events. And to my misfortune, there are so, so many people. All very religious people. I am not religious at all, well not all the way. My religion is a bit weird to others. So I don't like talking about it. But I hate family gatherings. They talk way to much.

"How have you been doing?" "How's school going?" "Are you still in Spanish?" "Thats a pretty dress." I hate when people, mainly family, ask me stuff like this. My Gender Dysphoria is always at its all-time high on these days. Its hard living in a family that thinks Lgbtq people don't exist. Thats hard a Transfluid, AroAce (More specifically Cupioromatic/Cupiosexual)

I am lucky for my Aunt (Who is supportive and also doesn't like big groups of people) because when things get too overwhelming for me, we can stand out. And I mean my mom is good also, helping me when I need it. But I wrote this not to rant, but to ask for help.

Any advice on how to like try to control my anxiety? Like any recommended coping skills? Any help is appreciated.

Thank you all and have a great day/night.

(Update: Thanksgiving is over and it didn't go well. I got sick a few days later.)

She's so good to me

My caregiver is going to make me some macaroni and cheese. I'm really good at cooking but I cannot boil water to save my life. I'm gonna add broccoli and extra shredded cheese cuz I do be lovin me some cheese.

I had a little panic attack today. I started thinking about going to urgent care and my mind just spiralled. She helped me calm down. Then she helped me do the epley maneuver to try to fix my dizzy spells. I've been ok for a few hours now. If I still get dizzy tomorrow I'll go. But I really don't want to.

I had a little spinach salad today. It had cheese, cucumber, diced popcorn chicken, and ranch dressing. It was delicious. I really love salad.

I've been dealing with really difficult gender dysphoria tonight. She got me my sports bra and tried to comfort me. She and I are both transgender so she understands me.

I kinda want some macaroni and cheese with a sausage smothered in sauerkraut. I'm super hungry. I haven't eaten much today. I had 12 pieces of popcorn chicken and some grape tomatoes with ranch dressing for lunch and the salad was a snack. I've got really nice buns for the sausage. I told her I wanted to chew on her arm and she was like will it grow back?

Not one more QOL ruining thing, please!

I have been dealing with some new loss of balance and muscle weakness symptoms recently. The neurologist is concerned. My partner thinks it's stress. But right now, all I can think about are my 17 existing diagnoses, all of which impact quality of life, none of which impact length of life. I'm not sure I can handle one more diagnosis like that. #AutismSpectrumDisorder #ADHD #PTSD #ChronicFatigue #Fibromyalgia #GenderDysphoria #Arthritis #Diabetes #CeliacDisease just to name a few

Honestly, what the FUCK! I CAN’T FUCKING WORK! What is it that they can’t seem to understand?! My anxiety is a disability, damn it!!!

It’s been 3 FUCKING TIMES ALREADY, 2 FUCKING APPEALS, and I POORED ALL OF MY FUCKING HEART OUT ABOUT WHY I CANNOT FUCKING WORK, THE EMOTIONAL TRAUMA, THE EPISODES OF DEPRESSION, THE FUCKING HYGIENE ISSUES, MY SEVERE SOCIAL GENDER DYSPHORIA AS A NON-BINARY INDIVIDUAL AND AVOIDING MOST SOCIAL SITUATIONS OUT OF THE PURE FEAR OF BEING MISGENDERED, HATE BEING UNDER PRESSURE, HAVING MANY TRIGGERS! I was receiving payment for 3 fucking months, and NOW they’ve decided that my FUCKING STRUGGLES AREN’T ENOUGH?!?!

Honestly fuck everything. I feel like I’ll just never be truly seen by this US government. I’ve only just wasted my fucking time with them, and so really don’t feel like HAVING TO EXPLAIN TO THEM FOR THE 50TH TIME THAT I’M NOT MY BIRTH GENDER AND I AM NOT A BINARY GENDER!

Yet another early morning

Woke up at 6am with some mild tummy pains. I've peed a kajillion times already. I am struggling with some gender dysphoria and my girlfriend has been very supportive. I hate my chest and I hate having to care for it. But not caring for it leads to things like infected zits and heat rash. And I have a large mole on my left boob. It's growing kinda fast. It's doubled in size over the last 5 years. I've had it all my life. My girlfriend is concerned and wants me to go see my dermatologist for removal of the growth. The last time I saw my dermatologist I mentioned it and she said it would be difficult to remove the whole thing and it would require stitches. Fun times.
