ph-, venting, end of my rope
my GP today asked me to go see a physio therapist, and im just so not prepared for that.
especially after my last experience with physio in which i was told i was making up my pain and that i just needed to toughen up and stop having mental health
like fucking no thanks i dont wanna deal with that shit anymore
i just need someone to tell me where to go and what to say so that i can get some fucking pain relief goddamnit
wheres the local trans support dammit
ph-, venting, end of my rope
6 months - if im lucky - to see a specialist who very well may outright dismiss me because im trans. dismiss me because i have mental health diagnosis
and im just fucking not here for it
im not here for more dismissal
i dont want to have to go through several specialists before one will even treat me with respect
because its already happened so many fucking times and i just cant deal anymore
i cant deal with doctors treating me like im less than human
ph-, venting, end of my rope
i get in this level of pain at least once a fucking month - at *least*
should i just start going to the ER? should i just pay for all of this care out of pocket? should i just pull the trigger and pay for a wheelchair out of pocket or crowdfund for one?
Because fucking frankly, im really hitting the end of my rope. i just want to walk without pain. i just want to feel like i can do everyday things like cook
but instead i have to wait 6 months to see a specialist
ph-, venting, end of my rope
i went to my GP this morning, and the best they offered me was "go see a chiropracter", to which my only response is "alright see you in 2 weeks"
im so fucking sick and tired of being caught like this. of feeling like i cant do anything to make things better.
i just want to be taken seriously or offered any amount of help or care that isnt entirely temporary. i need support and healthcare, not fucking dismissal and being shuffled out of the clinic
ph-, venting, end of my rope
so anyways i am seriously just fucking done with the pain.
i almost went to the emergency room last night because i hade taken the maximum dose of every pain med i can get over the counter. i laid down in bed and could barely move at 8pm, and by 12pm i was in tears and struggling to keep my shit together. i could barely even shift my weight
holding my phone or a cup was even too much as my hands were on literal fire.
Abuse, positive affirmations
It's been 1 year and 4.5 months since I cut off my abusive adoptive mom
Life is so so much better. Every day I get farther, and every day I heal more. She will never have power over me again
I am the only one who has power over me. I am the only put one who has power over me. I am the only fucking one with power over me, and I am so much better for it
Clippings like
"I wanted to avoid whatever waited in the apartment, to wander around until midnight and sneak in once he fell asleep, but even at dusk the heat was still overpowering."
or
"I believed he was earnest, or at least I wanted to, but my fear had been carved into me over years and years, and it wasn’t going to be reasoned with or ignored."
its really eating me
I started reading "If I Was Your Girl" by Meridith Russo today. It was recommended by a trans girl in the trans support group I facilitate through work
So far, it has a terrible habbit of punching me right in the feels. I've clipped out so many different bits already, and im only like 5% the way in. Definitely liking it so far, even if it is a bit... gender-envy from time to time.
re: sa recovery journey +, drugs
@Luna @zotan noted! i've never actually done MDMA (which is weird, i had a pretty huge drugs addiction for a long time), but honestly this makes me consider it.
I've been thinking about doing an LSD trip to try to give myself that escape from the bad and the clarity to process - but im terrified of having a flashback while high.
gah, why must we be left to figure this all out on our own

Hey folks, my partner is in recovery from bottom surgery but has no income remaining and nothing in savings and can't work. Best part? Benifits haven't decided if she is going to get funding - even tho she was supposed to have it a month and a half ago.
Literally anything would help them, but they are seeking $550

PTSD humour, my shitpost
Throwback to that one time, when I was reliving my trauma in a flashback and my girlfriend called a house song techno and I almost came back to reality for precisely long enough to correct her
Apparently, pro tips for how to get ari out of a flashback is "make a trash hot take about music"
roe v wade protest art, seeking recomendations
Hey folks... Do you know of an amazing counter protest speach recorded or on video from a woman or trans/enbie/gender diverse person?
I'm looking to do my small part in the counter-protest by using my art and my music to platform those who can speak better than I can.
I'm looking for speaches or statements that have been recorded that I can sample and use in a song. anything works.
