Can I come out as genderqueer at school? Nah.
Can I spend my entire senior year dressing in boxy Hawaiian shirts, black gender-neutral dress pants, bulky sweaters, a binder under any overly gendered tops on dysphoria days, shoes that are probably for girls but can anyone be sure, a simple black watch, masks to hide my feminine jaw, long hair tied low or let loose, making sarcastic jokes whenever someone asks me if I’m a girl or a boy, eyebrows mussed up, and basically exuding cryptic queer energy with tones of murder only made more strange by my general tomfoolery in contrast with my 4.0 GPA and extensive note taking in class? Yeah babey!

Two doctor’s appointments today
First one is because I might have something called Marfan Syndrome; after a week of processing that it’s less scary. It’s got a bunch of weird symptoms, like super long fingers and hyperflexible joints and stuff. Those things don’t bother me, but if I do have it it might mean I have heart problems too, so I should have it checked. Had my second phone consult with a doctor today and he said he’s not sure I have it (likely at least in part because I’m fairly short and people with Marfan’s are usually really tall), can’t even make an educated guess without seeing me in person, but that I do show some signs and I should have an ultrasound done on my heart. Thankfully I’ve maxed out my out-of-pocket expenses for insurance, so hopefully it should be free. They’ll call me soon with an appointment. Worst case scenario, probably the only thing that will change will be another daily pill and a yearly checkup with a cardiologist
Second one was with a new therapist. I actually got a really good vibe from him, I was a lot more comfortable than I usually am with therapists and he wasn’t super clinical. He specializes in trauma (which is why I got referred to him) and is trained in EMDR working on his certification. I don’t know a ton about EMDR, but I’m willing to try it and maybe finally deal with all the garbage that’s been piled on over the past couple decades. He’s expensive too, so I’m going to have to apply for Medicaid before the year’s over and my insurance stops paying for everything (getting a six-month free trial of universal healthcare /j)
I was also very straightforward about my negative experiences with being sectioned with this new therapist, and after hearing my laundry list of comically bad experiences with the mental healthcare system, as well as since he’s literally a trauma therapist and knows my experience was somewhat traumatic, I feel somewhat safe that he’s not going to call the cops on me (my main deterrent with therapy). I hit a lot of the highlights of Things That Messed Me Up in this first session and he said he thinks EMDR would be really helpful for me. I can’t say I’m necessarily hopeful - I think hope might’ve run out after the third mental health professional - but I’m willing to try, and that’s enough for now

Wha happen with the legz?
I have chronic pain, which has been flaring up VERY bad for little reason lately. It's fine if I walk around, but, sitting for any amount of time just sends my leg pain Through the roof, and same with my back pain. It makes it really hard to focus on drawing. I know this wasn't just because of quarantine or walking, because it did the Same stupid thing when I was forced to do a spring break vacation with my family, but. I don't Know what it is. Literally all of it is bad and it's making it very hard to draw or focus on school work

First and Last WIP Challenge
Tagged by: @toukeiz (hey Rayi how u doing dude hope u're fine 💕)
The rules: Put the first and last line of a WIP and then tag as many people as there are words!
Well I never wrote smth bnha related bc... Uh I just didn't have inspiration enough I guess so it's abt kny
First line: The first time Obanai saw the kid he was going to visit Rengoku's grave again.
Last line: Kamado waved her hand, a totally innocent look on her face. Obanai still didn't trust her.
Uuuhhhh I don't have anyone to tag again kwndnajsjsjdsk so uh if you're seeing this and want to do it just go ahead and feel free to!!
(Also maybe the lines are kinda awkward bc I translated them from portuguese soo I'm not really sure if they are right jwndkss)
