#and how much physical therapy helps with it

Update on Mom!

Things are getting better, abet slowly and I don't know what the next few weeks holds because her current therapy program is ending and she may have to wait a long while to get re-certified. She's made a lot of improvement though, it's just one of those things that takes time.

With that said, she may be coming home soon and continuing physical therapy from home. This would be great for us both, but she does in in-home help from an additional person to aid in general care taking. I don't know how much, if any therapy or caretaking will be covered by her insurance. She's pretty determined to be out of the nursing home though. I'm gonna update ya'll soon on that

I would humbly ask for you guys to re-visit my gofundme OR commission me so I can help mom in this process... My ko-fi is MistressOfFear and I have lots of shop items and commission options. I also have paypal and cashapp All links in pinned post.

How long do you think they would last if a pink lizard walked in here? 10 seconds? 20, maybe,

I’m glad methas found an effective pain medication to help him get through physical therapy aka insane sexual tension with the physical therapist

My doctor: Hey yeah that's not normal I don't think it's an issue with your hip

Me: Oh?

My doctor: It's an issue with your spine

Me: OH

Sometimes it feels soooo weird not being depressed anymore

my curse is wanting to do so many things after finishing the thing I'm doing right now, while procrastinating. like I'd love to read next danmei I have on my tbr, but I haven't read dvawtk in a couple of weeks. I'd love to start the Fangs of Fortune but I haven't watched the Longest Day in Chang'an for a while. I'd love to learn Vietnamese, Thai, Burmese, but I completely fucked up the last Chinese exam. and yeah, I know I could go for doing multiple of these things at once but it's a slippery slope for me and I just end up with 8348294882 things in doing right now category, which makes working on any of them even harder. such is life with executive dysfunction, no motivation and multiple chaos disorders™ which make planning impossible

Craziest advertising flaw I’ve seen in my life is: it’s impossible to look up “spider catcher” or even “spider catcher for arachnophobes” without EVERY. SINGLE. PRODUCT. having a blown up picture of a spider in it.

I'm usually a very quiet viewer of your blog but I'm so sorry to hear about Lobo :( I've always loved hearing about him from you and he seems like the sweetest boy in the whole world, I'm sending my best wishes that the time he has left is wonderful for the both of you, and that his passing will be gentle.

I originally followed you for taxidermy and I've gotten so much more than that from your blog, beautiful visual art, and little tidbits of other things you love, and most relevant here a glimpse into your life with a wonderful dog, I truly wish I could send more than well wishes and condolences in this hard time, but regretfully this is all I can send.

Seeing Jacksepticeye's autism video makes me want to keep trying to get an appointment or something for a diagnosis!!! Either for autism, adhd, bpd, or anything else I'm curious about... it's just difficult due to me and my mother's work schedules.

I mean, I tried before, but I specifically asked about autism, adhd and bdp when scheduling, and after a while, they said, "Oh actually, we don't do autism diagnoses." Which pissed us off. I also feel like the person diagnosing or testing me... didn't do great? Idk I didn't feel we got anywhere. I felt like I said too little? All I remember is that she said I have anxiety... which I knew (oh but it was generalized anxiety!)

Idk... it makes me feel like I did it wrong? Which sounds strange, I know. I know that's not how that works. I just want answers. I don’t want it to come off as "these aren't the answers *I* was looking for, so you must be wrong!" I don't want to be like that. I just need to keep looking. I don’t know if any of this makes sense.

I will never forget the horrible pain I got when my physical therapist tried IASTM therapy on the tops of my thighs.

Sex Ed Time

ok I'm gonna tell you about some things that might happen if you are transitioning m->f. this is not a comprehensive list just my own experience, be sure to do your own research I just really wanted to voice how this affects me because I think open discussion about this type of stuff is just more helpful for everyone rather than keeping it private

BOOBS HURT WHEN THEY GROW

your sex drive (libido) will probably go down a lot

facial hair is very hard to get rid of

my go-to gender affirming clothing is high-waisted jeans. I suggest going to a goodwill or some sort of cheap store that lets you try on clothes to figure out what you like

muscle mass will go down, fat will be redistributed

boobs do all sorts of crazy stuff when you run / exercise

overtime your skin will get softer, you also might smell nicer, and I've been told it can thin body hair but I don't really see it all that much 🤷

your brain chemistry can change when you reduce testosterone and increase estrogen, there are lots of factors that contribute toward any changes to your personality, but hormones can have an impact as well. for me this is a good thing because I struggle with allowing myself to feel emotions sometimes, no matter how hard I tried I was never really able to get myself to cry. I've gotten closer to being able to cry since I started transitioning though and that makes me very happy

this is a slow process that can take several years, ultimately you're going to be in your body for several years regardless, so if this is something you want it's definitely something you should try to pursue if possible. the time will pass anyways, and it does feel nice to work towards something that can make you happier.

also this is very important, you don't need to do any sort of hormone replacement therapy in order to be trans. not everybody can access HRT, and for those who can access it, not everybody wants to take on all the changes that come with treatments. you don't have to chemically or physically change your body in any way in order to deserve respect

all right that's all I have for right now feel free to add anything in the comments, I would especially like to hear from trans men what your experiences have been, I think openly talking about these types of things can really help some people
