I saw my psychiatrist on Wednesday and he seemed pretty embarrassed when I was like "And also the Victorians were right and that womb do be wandering" for about ten minutes discussing the issues I've been having with PMDD-like symptoms among other gynaecological Unpleasantness that have contributed to my overall emotional ~dysregulation, but also like... listen, buddy, I also do not want to be talking to you about this, but unfortunately the fucking thing is strangling my brain for half the month, and my brain is your department.

#not to be too hard on him though #he does seem to be like... fine as psychiatrists go #it was only my second time seeing him since he replaced by previous guy who has since retired #but I haven't had any big red flags #and did have the green flag of him being like 'yeah no that wouldn't be a good idea at all and I wouldn't recommend it'#re: not looking at my phone and/or laptop screens in the evening #when I said that my sleep schedule had been hard to get sorted #but that strictly observing ~sleep hygiene and having no screens after 9 p.m. would mean that I'd be very socially isolated #because most of my friends live abroad in other time zones and I largely interact with them in the evening #and when I'm not getting out much I don't have a lot of other social outlets #and it felt like the net cons of avoiding screens outweight the net pros of it #and I wouldn't realistically be able to hold myself to it #because I'd get too lonely
