    I should’ve known 😑😑😑😑😑 | TW Family, president problems (particularly in the US), one swear?, mention of misgendering #venting

    I bet the nephews are home today (again 😞) because of President’s Day. I can’t even get some dang peace and quiet in this dang house, not even a full week anymore, so I’m leaving out this dang house (again. Seriously, I just wanted to relax today 😞😞).

    And what’s so good about the damn day anyway? I mean I get that they run everything and all, and Biden’s better in other ways than our last horrible good-for-nothing president, but he refuses to defund the police even though he believes in Black Lives Matter, he’s pro-Israel, I’ve heard he once thought to make homelessness illegal, etc.

    Also, our government just plain sucks, they can’t see that non-binary identities exist (until like 2025), 1000% of the time I always get misgendered by higher authority (which pains me a lot inside), I got taken off of social security because they seriously thought that I can work no problem (which, I’ve said plenty of times, I cannot for a vast multitude of reasons) and had to face my autism being called a disability throughout the entire time (which I despise), the list can go on and on. This is the entire reason I’m an anarchist, can’t we just depend on ourselves for our rights instead of the government who barely even knows you? /rh

    Can’t I have a full week of morning and afternoon quiet? | TW Family, one swear, one moment of ableism #venting

    This is starting to get on my nerves.

    Can’t I just have a full week of quiet when my nephews are at school? Like how it’s - supposed - to be?? My youngest nephew had a fever and had to stay home for three days, so it doesn’t count, I’m disregarding that (please nobody mention the other virus name, it’s a trigger to me). But why are they always home on a Friday now??

    But if next week doesn’t happen, I’m going to go crazy. I just wanted a - full - week of more quiet time, Monday to Friday. And it hasn’t happened since the middle of last month, and it freaking irritates me. And no, there’s absolutely nothing my sister can do about it. I just have to wish to move out of here faster. This is freaking bothering me. Why does this have to happen????

    I’m so sick of listening to that same YouTuber in the living room background who I don’t even fucking like (because they said the r slur twice one time, and yes I know that you can still enjoy the content without supporting the creator or their actions/beliefs, it exists. That’s my oldest nephew’s situation. But ugh, I couldn’t even do that).

    I just want to walk out of my room without worrying to put on headphones every single time. Can’t that just happen more often?!

    It’s funny how I don’t mind it, but my autism hates it | TW Family #venting

    My nephews have been home since last Wednesday, and today is Sunday morning for me, and I’m this close to having a headache just from them being here.

    I wish I couldn’t get overstimulated from this. I feel bad for it.

    But I swear, I’m leaving out this house tomorrow to go somewhere else if they stay home another day, I can’t take this. I think I’m just going to start doing that for now on because I can’t.

    I really hope to move out before their summer break 🙏

    …Why today? | TW Family, swearing, brief mention of reading transphobia #venting

    Why? Why did my nephews had to be home today?? Just why?? I swear I love them, but my autism - says - why??

    Now I’m planning to just leave out for today. I’m so sick of this shit. I’m so sick of being overstimulated like this.

    And why does it always have to be on the same day as my therapist appointment? It’s not like I can reschedule because then we would have to pay $100 just for fucking rescheduling this late.

    Screw it, I’m still leaving early and having the online appointment elsewhere. I don’t care how cold it is or whatever, I’m going.

    What a shit first day of the month. First it’s me being triggered and crying last night because of accidentally reading transgender violence statistics and was scared for my life because I’m trans nonbinary, now it’s my nephews being home. 😑😤

    I feel so tired.

    Trying to come out of dissociation and my mind and body are wrecked by over stimulation. I've been in dissociation consistently for over 15 years. I can't remember all of my trauma and I have dissociative amnesia. It's all been getting worse. I thought I had a handle on my symptoms but it was just that my brain was enveloping me in such a deep dissociative state that I didn't have much to have to fight. Now, its all hitting me at once. I don't know what to do or where to start. I feel utterly helpless and useless. I can't go into walmart without being overwhelmed and over stimulated. I don't know what to do. When I was told about the Mighty I felt a little bit of peace knowing there are others that are fighting mental health battles like me. I'm faced with anxiety and depression and trauma and ptsd. Thanks for reading

    How do you explain sensory overload and meltdowns to others?

    There are times where I have a hard time explaining what I go through when I’m feeling overstimulated and having a meltdown to others. Sometimes I’ll give the example of “You know the scene from Spongebob Squarepants where Mr. Krabs is overwhelmed and everything is spinning?” or I’ll say “Everything all at once.” If I think they’re not going to “get it,” I simply say, “It’s complicated.” When it comes to my meltdowns, I feel as though I’m unable to find my voice…as if something has snatched it away from me. I feel all my senses going haywire and withdraw into myself.

    How do you describe your sensory overload and meltdowns to others? I’d love to know.

    How do I support my significant other best?

    We both have a series of chronic illnesses each. He is mourning over his, but seems stuck in anger and 'nothing can ever make this better'. I tend to lecture him about how our mindset is part of the problem, not the problem itself, but contributing to it, and that we can change our mindset for a better life. Go positive thinking! Yea, but it is not what he needs in his depression. How can I support him better? I wish there was something I could do for him. He does have a good counsellor, thankfully. Any thoughts? #ChronicPain #overstimulated #Fatigue #Partners

    Even if I knew how to explain what I feel I don’t have the energy. #Anxiety #Depression #CPTSD #overstimulated #ChildhoodAbuse

    Anyone else? I struggle with wanting to completely understand what’s wrong with me so that I can explain it to others but have absolutely ZERO energy to do so. It’s sucks the life right out of me.

    I’ve recently been dealing with all 3 and my coping techniques aren’t working as well, anyone have any ideas what I could try? Normally finding a quiet place and deep breathing exercises help but not so much anymore.
