mental health talk, specifically anxiety
It's funny, I used to think I didn't really have an anxiety disorder, but now I think it's staring me in my face and I have to face it. I'm not going to get better just trying to deny that it exists. It's affecting my relationships with people, especially since I have horrible anxiety around texting, and that's the main communication channel everyone uses. Getting a panic attack whenever I see a notification that someone texted me and then leaving it unread for weeks because just thinking about it will cause another panic attack is... really just not conducive for modern existence.
My anxiety is also definitely connected to my ADHD and what I suspect is C-PTSD. I get really bad RSD and I experience a ton of shame, which feeds back into the anxiety and makes it worse. I'm honestly a huge mess mental health-wise, it's kind of embarrassing lol.
rant about voice training, self directed ableist language (sorry, just can't think of how else to say things sometimes)
First, thank you AmandaBynesThought for writing a whole effortpost to help me. I hope no one feels like they have to write another to try and help me (right now) because honestly I haven't tried very hard (story of my fucking life)
GOD I don't even know if I'm fucking HUMMING properly. I'm so fucking stupid. How can I not know how to hum. And how do I know when it "cracks" like wtf, or what's a couple "notes" down. What's fucking RESONANCE MEAN. Its all just so frustrating and I feel so stupid. I'm such a fucking quiter too. literally try for like 10 minutes two days and want to give up. how the fuck am I supposed to transition when I give up on fucking everything so god damn fast. Whatever, I'll try harder later.
Hope no one feels the need to spend a bunch of energy explaining shit to me, I'm sure I could google it and find the answers. If you have a favorite guide or something I'd appreciate it though. I know this sounds like a really negative post but I've actually been completely girl vibing all night and plan on going to bed very happy. Just frustrated at myself, but not in a sad way.
Tfw I just want to read orange book instead of work but today's another 12 hour day π
Morning
volcel violations
ah FUCK the girl horny is only getting stronger ans stronger and it's turning me into such a brat and i have no idea how to cope with these new emotions 
Agh, just had a scare almost losing my wallet. Feel like my memory has been so shot lately. 
Anybody else have a bit of a rough time with epilators (other than the pain, of course)? I find that often, especially on my arms, the hair seems to grow back pretty quickly. I'm thinking that while some of the hairs are being pulled out, others are snapping, therefore making it similar to shaving them. Is there any way to get them to come out instead of snapping, or should I just do upkeep with the epilator in hopes that these hairs will eventually come out?
autism discussion
Was inspired by all the 'tism talk in the mega to retake the tests on Embrace Autism again. I took them a few years ago, scored in the autistic range, got further confirmation by a psychiatrist who agreed that I probably am autistic, and basically forgot about it. Honestly, out of all my various neurodivergencies, I feel like my autism is the one that causes me the least pain and distress. I despise my OCD and my ADHD, but my autism? My autism is cool.
Anyways, I scored 34 on AQ, 154 on RAADS-R, and to my surprise, 102 on CAT-Q??? I guess I mask a lot less than I thought I did. Maybe that's why I struggle a lot socially, lol. I definitely don't relate to the common autistic experience of following a social "script", though I do try my best to be nice. My experience with trying to socialize with people in-person (especially in school settings) is that I will have a nice, friendly first meeting, and then those people will just... not be friends with me, and become friends with other people instead. I wonder if I just subconsciously radiate those autistic vibes, lol.
Okay the crying is slowing down, think I'm gonna go to sleep now before it has a chance to start up again. G'nite silly little transes, I'll speak to you all again tomorrow π
Bit idea, come out as gay first, then trans. 'Hey guys, I'm gay. GAY FOR GIRLS'

Positive Post: From anecdotes here about shaving legs, I thought I'd shave mine again.
First time I've shaved my legs going on 8 months I think 
Notice that most of my leg hair has turned blonde and the only dark hairs left on my body are the little bits on my shins, with a lot thinner sparser hair on my calves. It's weird seeing how much of my body hair just plain stopped once I started HRT like flat out doesn't grow and also how much sparser the thicker hair ended up to now where It's the bit on my shins that remains.
