#can I just. scream for a second#so as is news to no one#we need to start over the entire us medical system from scratch#also I would like to be flayed alive and start over from scratch in the skin department as well#anyway for context: I've had some kind of rash/acne/infection/irritation all over my legs for over a year now#have tried various products and changed habits and products to try and get rid of it to no avail#everyone said you should really just go to a dermatologist#(I was not that inclined to do so bc the previous and only time I'd seen a dermatologist it was not a good experience. very condescending#also I don't like making appointments and stuff. girl I don't have time)#but I decided to be an adult and go (my insurance info seemed to imply I could go with zero copay even)#spoilers: that was not the case#anyway so I show up and surprise surprise: it sucked#she was dismissive and condescending imo. was literally like 'well it could be A B or C but I can't tell'#'all of those are basically impossible to get rid of anyway but the things to try are X Y or Z'#I asked to try Z since X and Y are things that I already tried and did nothing (which I had told her!!!)#but she just kept being like 'you just need to stop picking at it. that's the real problem and that's what's exacerbating your scarring'#(wow thanks never thought of that!) (she also insinuated that my scarring was ugly)#girl I'm not 5 years old I understand.#unfortunately for me that is a compulsion so strong it would probably take years of directed therapy to get me to stop doing that#what I'm here to see you about is to figure out what the problem is and how to stop it from happening in the first place#and STOP TRYING TO MAKE IT A COSMETIC ISSUE#it's causing me pain and discomfort that's the main problem! I would like that to stop!! and me not touching it would not solve that proble#also I wanted to ask her about something else but they were too quick about it. felt very Handled if you know what I mean#but anyway#she gave me a prescription for topical antibiotic which was the thing I had not tried#apparently my insurance doesn't cover it and it's also made of gold and plutonium or something#so she gave me a coupon for it#but get this#when I went to pick it up at the pharmacy they didn't take the coupon#the guy said. 'um this only works for the generic brand. and we don't have the generic brand'

Going through another Worrying about being abandoned by a fictional character moment 馃檭
#negative#thankfully it's 2 am so i don't have tk worry about feeling too guilty for posting this lol#< still feeling a little bit guilty but still#anyway I have been up with some stomach issues and my paranoia is really bad right now#it's now moved from What if slenderman is at the fridge to What if Zooble doesn't actually love me at all#and would gladly leave me for someone else#seeing so much ship art of them with other characters today didn't help at all :[#I know it's probably stupid for me to be this way#but like. what if I'm not good enough for them? what if they want someone who's thin and pretty and feminine?#what if I'm too annoying?#I'm sitting here worrying that I'm not good enough for even a fictional character#maybe this is how I convince insurance to cover therapy for me again lol#anyway ummmm fuck 馃憤

if i have to see one more post about disney from people who don't work here or at least live in the area i'm gonna lose it
#saw a post that was talking about how disney doesn't actually care about queer people#and while like. yeah. i mean. i guess sorta that's true? but also they do pay for trans healthcare#for employees. btw. no other employer i've ever had has explicitly covered that in my insurance#also working here has EASILY been the job where i feel the most comfortable being trans since i came out#and where i get misgendered the least. it still happens and it's been an issue but like#overall it's better here. disney also lets me use my preferred name on everything#universal did not do that btw at universal i was forced to display my deadname to everyone at my location#so it's not as black and white as 'disney hates queer people' and i'm not trying to be a bootlicker i'm just stating these facts#that people probably don't know? at least people don't seem to know this?#but it's easily the most supportive work environment i've ever been in#and yeah a LOT of that depends on location and leadership and other things. i have trans coworkers who have struggled more than i have#but like. overall. i don't think people realize that it's actually a pretty halfway decent place to work#and yeah there's some HUGE issues but it's an oversimplification to say that it's just The worst and should be burned down etc.#and it's like yeah i KNOW it's the bare minimum but it's still more than i've gotten anywhere else i've worked#and yes a lot of it is also due to the union's hard work here and not the company itself but still#the fact that the people making posts like that clearly do not actually live here or know anything about how things work here#i'm just like. please shut up you don't even know what you're talking about#this post i saw earlier had people in the replies STILL spouting the 'disney will just pack up and leave lol and then where will the florid#economy be?' and they sound so fucking stupid like what the everloving fuck do you mean move somewhere else#people think it's a little theme park as if it's not the literal size of san francisco???#anyway i'm just in general begging people online to shut up about things they don't know shit about.#like. you don't have to have an opinion on everything. you can just. shut up.#anyway that's my ranty tags post for the day bye#win rambles

ughhhhhh i really want to get a new piercing but i can't decide on what i wantttttt
#cant do any oral piercings rn (sad! theyre what i want the most) bc one day i may get braces or jaw surgery. if i ever get dental#insurance that will cover it that is...... but i rlly rlly want snakebites. but i should wait.#thinking i want smth ppl can see over my mask so no more nose piercings rn. maybe eyebrows? or like ears obviously but there's too#many for ears for me to decide what's best. maybe just a second lobe piercing? or a daith. idk ive just been thinking on it for a few#weeks and i kinda just want smth new#or maybe i should get a tattoo....... actually no i feel like i could not handle getting tattoos until i plan out every detail of#everything abt them. or maybe not. hmm idk i'd like for things to be cohesive bc i do have Plans that will probably never come to#fruition abt what i want tattoo-wise but maybe i should just say fuck it and get smth anyway#or maybe i should just paint my nails and see if the urge to get permanent changes goes away (i doubt it but who knows)

Yang got me thinking about Sho never having had a backup plan despite the doubt of him doing much with his life which is why he panicked so much when he first got diagnosed at 17 and thought his career was over. How he was too stubborn and proud in a way to tell his friends about it, losing touch with them after graduating because he had nowhere to live and then was deep undercover. He鈥檚 terrified of being vulnerable or being perceived as weak because it would be utilized against him in a heartbeat.
#; probably being slapped by a dog (ooc.)#thinkin about him literally not being able to afford only having one job#of course he became a hero for reasons other than money especially being payed on commission#and he鈥檚 definitely put away several villains before they could become a noticeable threat to any top heroes#or at least a noticeable threat to the richer parts of the country#idk if ua health insurance would cover drastic shit like usj at least in policy Nezu probably covered it anyway but#look I鈥檓 just sick n worried about money therefore I鈥檓 projecting

Pondering bottom surgery in the tags I mf guess
#I鈥檝e been. thinking abt bottom surgery again after having accepted for a while that I would probably never get it#for context early on in my transition I was dead set on phallo but then T and my other surgeries satisfied me enough to not need it#+ for phallo I would have had to keep an arm or leg free of tattoos and I just did not want to wait on that#not considering it would probably be at least a decade. tattoos were and are more important#+ the more I started to enjoy using what I have I was like. it is simply not medically necessary anymore#like would I like to have a **** yes. do I need one to live a happy life no#being bi complicates things for me too bc it depends a little bit who I marry#don鈥檛 want to tailor my body to a specific relationship esp if it doesn鈥檛 last forever but it does make a difference#current partner is nonbinary and wants phallo so that does not make things simpler lol#I want a body that allows the most affirming possible relationship w the person I intend to marry#I also don鈥檛 want to end up hindering things w future partners should that not happen#anyway I say all this to say. I had never considered meta as an option bc I didn鈥檛 think it would do much for me#lot of effort and money and healing for not as drastic a change. wouldn鈥檛 solve my biggest bottom dysphoria issues#however. starting to think it could be the middle ground I鈥檓 looking for as a gnc/genderfluid person#it would be less surgeries. less complicated n expensive. less changes to my current anatomy#esp if I don鈥檛 do everything you Can do w meta. I could do like half of all that or less#I don鈥檛 wanna risk giving up the things I can do now without knowing if I鈥檒l enjoy the new possibilities#but this could be a way to just kinda feel more affirmed without it changing my life all that much#I think just the act of undergoing bottom surgery would be affirming. like I鈥檝e done Everything I鈥檓 a binary male thru and thru. transexual#and I wouldn鈥檛 have to keep wondering if I鈥檒l do it someday or if I should#not that I can any time soon I鈥檓 uninsured. insurance prob wouldn鈥檛 even cover it#but just. the more I look into it and think abt it + the more serious my relationship gets the more I lean towards it#my partner talking increasingly abt wanting bottom surgery asap is influencing me too ngl not even in a jealousy way#just. I can鈥檛 deal w the possibility of a partners phallo fucking up my relationship w my body Again. I would need to know what I want#man. I can鈥檛 even go to therapy to talk thru it. on account of being uninsured#mine#txt#personal

guess who's having ANOTHER surgery
#laporoscopy or. however u spell it. and this time i'm not covered by insurance lmfaoooooo#anyway.#also i am again panicky about the situation in my abdomen. don't look up fluid in abdomen folks. don't do it!#according to google i should have liver disease and be dead already#but i'm trying to be rational and tell myself that it's been 5 years with the exact same symptoms and no change in ultrasounds etc.#so i'm probably not dying. anyway maybe this surgery will find out what's wrong with me.#liz.txt

Gotta wait until my health insurance renews, because I looked at the costs of those vaccination boosters, and that's... hmmm.
#I can see why people are hesitant to renew them tbh#if you don't have insurance covering them that's a lot of money for two syringes with liquid in them#Uupiic talks about stuff#(this is NOT about the plague. this different vaccines all of which I probably need to boost anyway soon enough)

i keep looking at my calendar and seeing top surgery like a week away and theres Excitement and Anxiety and Fear that something will fuck it up and also oh yeah fck i havent even started my fundraiser thing i was hoping to do shit i should get that set up and OH FUCK ITS ONLY 8 DAYS AWAY JESUS CHRIST AAAAA
#buzzy#trans#for ref im not really sure if im gonna need the fundraiser bc itll probs depend on How Insurance Goes and i might not find that out#til afterward just bc. surgery was scheduled 60 days and insurance auth is supposed to be 90 ig??#so. if insurance goes well then outta pocket might be fine but if it Does Not then it Might Not#but idk am i gonna have to wait a month after to find that out?? maybe#but my plan was just like. say fuck it do the fundraiser and if i end up not needing the money then ill just pass on the extra#to other top surgery funds#but also goddd its gonna be Work to get it set up#and oc what if it doesnt go well what if no one goes for it#and also what if lawsuit#i dont think anything im doing can be considered legally binding if i mark it as a Novelty Item but still hmmmmm#like i think i got my legal bases covered maybe??#but Maybe Not#if anyone is a lawyer or knows a lawyer that can just listen to my dumbass idea and tell me if its legally dubious lemme kno#anyway i should probably actually get that shit set up tomorrow. maybe or maybe not launch it and hope ppl think its funny#funny enough to buy em#and hope i dont have to change the KERNING ANOTHER 20 TIMES!!!#anyway i will be Explicitly Saying that the backup for the fundraiser is 'if i end up not needing it ill pass it on' but yea#...also thinking about truing to mail 350 letters after surgery on the off chance it does in fact Get Big is.#eh might as well torture myself a little. as a treat.#WAIT WHAT IF I CANT LIFT MY ARMS WELL ENOUGH TO KISS W TOUNGE#'disclaimer: kisses w tongue may require extra processing time if my arms dont fucking work'

The good news and bad news I got today is that I need a gum graft and it's going to cost a maximum of $3.2k 馃槀馃ぃ馃槶
#I need to get a price check via my insurance#But I love this dentist and unfortunately I think I'm going to have to get a referral to one covered by my insurance#Although who knows I probably have to pay $2k out of pocket to hit my deductible anyway

.....................i just found out that none of the payments i've been making for my therapy appointments have been going to my deductible
awesome
love that
#i know i should have checked on this sooner but it's just been hard to get around to#and now i'm just confused like...where have all those payments been going then?#how are claims supposedly being filed and yet...my insurance doesn't have any?#whose insurance is it going to then?#sucks because i've been paying in cash too and don't have any bills of service#so there's literally nothing i have to show on my end that i've been doing my part#i just...am i being scammed?#i hope to god not because i really like my therapist but like...this sucks#i know her accountant had some family issues and was out for a while#which is also why i wanted to give her a minute to get caught up#but like...at this point what the hell#like i should probably be halfway through or at least have put a dent in my deductible#and once i meet that everything's covered 100% which would help me out a lot but like#i have a bad feeling we'll get this sorted out and the solution will be i just have to start over again#i hope to god not#or i may just have to stop going to therapy because this....sucks#also as an aside i've been super depressed lately and thought i'd cheer myself up by dyeing my hair and it....#looks like absolute shit#i tried to just lighten it with powder and developer and all that instead of bleach because i thought it would be easier#and now it just looks awful and feels awful and i'm still probably going to have to bleach it anyway#awesome!#love that#love this situation#love being alive#love it all so much

#tomorrow is the day the measurements start. the start of my 40+ days of torment. but idk im glad its finally here#i dont have to dread it anymore. hopefully its the last time i have to do these type of measurements#i was talking to my boss yesterday and she was like: oh last timr we were out i realized this might be ur last time doing lpi for thr rest#of ur life. and i was like god i hope so. bc thats a process where i crawl across the ground for 50m per transect and identify all the#plants and soil cover and for the life of me i cant fucking remember plant codes. i hate it bc i basically have to talk for like 3hrs and#have someone standing over my shoulder recording me and all the while my brain is screaminf at me bc field work doesnt count as real work#in my stupid brain. so yea ill do lpi and soil stability as benign torment in purgatory#but anyway. im hesitantly optimistic abt the measurements i have to take bc im going to try my best to make it ok bc i have school#interviews looming and i have to pretend im hanging on by more than a single thread ya kno#so we r going to b careful abt it. well at least well see how long it lasts. i also have tk find the time to read a bunch before interviews#while my brain is completely fried idk how. and do other lab stuff. sigh...#idk im probably going to take measurements all the way thru sunday and then monday see if i can fill out patent intake info with a psy#psychiatrist. and hope they take my insurance. i called and checked for providers and they were the only one in the area so shoulf b ok but#ya kno. god im barely a functional person. like the fact that i have to drive 8min down the road is very nearly enough for me to say fuck#it. id rather suffer forever. i just hate driving so much :-P#i just wish i could focus enough to make words make sense and justify the time i spend to learn things. agh#lmao im such an anxious person. a lab mate had a birthday today and my boss and a fellow lab member surprised her with a cake#and im v worried abt when my birthday happens. it wasnt so bad last time bc another birthday was also that week so the focus was off me a#lil but with my boss leaving this school i was like. yes. i escape the surprise gathering. but probably not. same for when i leave#genuinely i do not want a gathering. i just feel like im waiting for them to end. not that i dont like my lab mates but idk it feels so#artificial. and i feel awkward bc i never make eye contact or look at anyone in a way i think is typical bc i see ppl look at me#like turn their head to see my reaction to something and i just like fundamentally do not understand that impulse#whatever. what i want for my birthday or going away is to not attend the gathering. make it more like a wake lol#but i kno that wont happen. last year my boss asked whst i wanted and i said nothing and she said that wasnt allowed#im just so neurotic that if u try to do anything for me itll prob just upset me. but idk ppl like to give presents and stuff#and sometimes things arent all abt me. so i just gotta accept it and go cry abt it later#but thats like 3 months away so i dont kno why im so stressed abt it now. I've got more pressing things to stress abt#unrelated

My gynecologist confusing me completely by not using raw violence this time, being overall quite nice, and first and foremost asking me to undressed from my waist Up?? Wtf?
#ok so maybe she just had a bad day last time but i totally got prepared for getting treated quite rudely again#oh no wait another thing that was new was the new medical assistant who checked me in#the old one was always such a mean bitch. this one was nice?#and then when i got to the doctor she (the doctor) actually said hello and asked me if everything was fine???#instead of immediately going 'undress back there.' which was what i was prepared to do so i just kinda awkwardly stood there#when she was like 'aw how are things? you're just here for a check up? everything else is okay? :D'#????? hello???#anyway then she went 'then you can undress from the waist down OR the waist up first :)'#and i was like?? so i did the waist down thing first since that's the only thing that's actually covered by insurance at my age?#and like i said. she didn't even use raw violence during the exam this time? what Was that???#and then again told me to get dressed again but i could take off my shirt now? so i AKSED in all the confusion#'you actually mean i should take off my shirt right? because i thought that's not covered before 30?'#'yeah yeah you're right but we'll do it anyway :)'#MY BRAIN CANNOT COMPREHEND THIS WTF IS GOING ON WITH HER???#anyway#no one asked about my weight either and it was overall a chill appointment#was way too 'scared' about this for months for nothing. (I'm not scared of the exam. i just didn't want to get treated like dirt again#but accepted that this was part of it so i was in a very bad mood everytime i thought of it so here we are. all this for nothing.)#(watch me go there next year again thinking it's probably gonna be chill but everyone will be mean and passive aggressive again lol)#void screams#i also didn't have to pay for the breast exam which i almost assumed because why the fuck would she do an exam for free???#ugh whatever#I'm still so confused#i have so much work now though
