new form of gender euphoria unlocked

after screaming at a variety of different events (fun and serious and everything in between), i’ve damaged my vocal cords enough to comfortably hit a B1. it’s not good at all for my vocal health, especially with a performance of haydns creation coming up. but also gender

[Talk about EDs and substance abuse]

I really miss my voice sometimes. I used to have a beautiful singing voice when I was younger. But I was bulemic from ages 13 to 20, so my throat has received a lot of damage, and I've been sporadically smoking when stressed ever since I was 18 (to be fair I've only ever finished one cigarette pack so idk how much actual damage that did, but I'm sure it was some), I still smoke sometimes, so yea that's not great...

I don't drink tho, but I never really had a vocal coach so I always just sang however I saw fit, so that probably fucked my voice a lot.

Sometimes I just really miss my voice, is all... I wish I could heal it, but I'm not sure it's really possible. I think I damaged it too much.

Does anybody know if there's hope for very damaged voices and how to do it? I mean aside from the obvious one that is: Stop smoking.

Silent Rebellion: Tim Drake’s Unspoken Power

Tim didn’t just lose his voice—he gave it up. After the Titan’s Tower incident and all the attacks that followed, something in him shifted. Too many close calls, too many moments where hands were around his throat, where his voice had been ripped away. The Batfamily had no idea, but it wasn’t just the trauma of it all. It was his vocal cords—the damage that no one talks about.

His voice had changed. Rougher, weaker—nothing like the Tim Drake they knew. Nothing like Robin. He hated the sound of it. It felt foreign, a constant reminder of everything he had endured. And the last thing he wanted was for them to hear it, especially Jason. Because how could he let Jason know that he’d left scars on Tim that went far beyond the physical?

So, he chose silence. At first, no one noticed. Tim was always the quiet one. But weeks passed, and he still hadn’t said a word. Damian, Dick, even Jason tried to get something out of him—anything. But Tim just shook his head, lips pressed tight, refusing to give them even that much.

It wasn’t fear. It was control.

And then Bruce tried to fix it. Of course he did. He sat Tim down, asked if he was hurt, what could be done, as if Tim was some broken tool that needed repair. But Tim just looked at him, the words at the back of his throat like glass. And he walked away.

Because this silence? This was his choice. One that no one else had any right to take from him.

This silence wasn’t something that needed fixing. It was Tim’s way of saying he was done. Done with always being the one to patch up the cracks, done with being expected to hold things together while everyone else fell apart. His voice wasn’t a tool for others to use anymore. He would speak when and for whom he wanted—when it mattered.

He didn’t want their pity. And he definitely didn’t want to see Jason’s guilt. Tim wasn’t about to let anyone hear that rasping, broken version of himself. He wasn’t about to let them know that the boy they’d always known—the boy who had always picked up the pieces of the bats—wasn’t whole anymore.

I've been seeing a new shrink for like. a month ish now. ok. and the thing about this new round of talk therapy is that I've been in and out of therapy for uhhhh 13? years at this point. More than half my life. so I know Exactly what is wrong with my skull and what to do to mitigate it, but in order to stay on my meds I have to keep going to talk therapy.

And this combined with the ADHD/autism thing of 'if I'm not interested in a topic there is not a power in heaven or hell that will make me stay on it instead of switching to a topic I do like', has been a challenge for my new shrink.

She will be trying to like, help me emotionally cope with the cruelty of the American healthcare system, and I'll be "Yeah I'm forced to stay in poverty to maintain access to healthcare but big whoop, cant do anything about it and I'm at peace with it, Anyways So there's this character called Miquella Elden Ring and I think people didn't really understand his vibes until the dlc- yeah no this has nothing to do with that I'm just thinking miqy thoughts"

Something that I think a lot of people don't know about and don't talk about enough is that loosing oral speech can and if for a long enough time, will damage your vocal cords.

I can attest to the fact that there are many challenges that come with not being able to speak orally. One of the lesser-known consequences of prolonged loss of oral speech is the potential damage it can cause to one's vocal cords. When someone stops using their vocal cords to make speech, the muscles can weaken, and the vocal cords themselves can atrophy. This process is similar to what happens when you break a bone. You are put into a cast, ergo that limb is immobilized. If you don't use the limb for a long time, the muscles will weaken, and you may need to do physical therapy to regain strength and range of motion. In the same way, if someone doesn't use their vocal cords for an extended period, they may need to do speech therapy to help with the deterioration of vocal cords. I do want to quickly note that I haven't been put in speech therapy for this reason before (though I have been in speech therapy for other reasons, of course).

The first time I lost speech for a long period of time was when I was 10-12 (I cant remember the exact age right now, I'm sorry. I know I've listed it in other posts if you are curious though, but if you don't want to check, just know it was somewhere in that age range. My brain is feeling "fuzzy" with time this morning.) and it was for four months. Once I regained some mouth words, my vocal cords were extremely weak and difficult to use. My speech was practically unintelligible for a bit. The first thing I had said was "Do we have woodpeckers?" because I heard a noise outside that sounded like them (news flash, it wasnt woodpeckers. Woodpeckers arent even in my state so I don't know what was going through my head.), but due to the weakness in my vocal cords it sounded more like "da-wee...ave.. w-ah-pehck..ehs?". It was painful to use my oral voice, I was straining it just to say that sentence. It was extremely quiet, and shaky. I also was unable to control my breathing (not my normal breathing. I mean the breathing patterns required to use oral speech), causing a lot of gaps between speech sounds.

I obviously don't know what my oral voice sounds like now, but I can feel it getting weaker again when I hum as a stim.

It's important for people to understand that losing oral speech is not just a matter of finding a different way to communicate; it can have significant and lasting impacts on our physical health as well.

AAAAA CRAP WHERE'S THE BABY NOW?

[dangerousbrick]

well, i finished listening to the new plastic tree album.

it was ok, i guess? i wasn't really wow-ed by any of the songs, and overall i found it pretty boring. the only three tracks i really liked were シカバネーゼ, 痣花, メルヘン. the rest of the tracks were fine, well-written songs, but i just wasn't captivated by any of them.

god i love being told shit in these old ass shows that is just not true about the rest of the continuity
