healthy roommate things
my roommate and I have this thing where if I'm about to have a mental breakdown/anxiety attack/cry session, I can ask her to run lines. She'll take her script and go to her friend's room for a while, no questions asked.
It's really comforting to know she is happy to give me space anytime I need it, and I recommend you have some sort of similar code with your roommate.

trans middle names
Casual reminder that, if you're trans, you probably have to pick a new middle name! I've found that, for most of the community, your middle name is your second choice of first name. For example, I wanted my name to be Samuel (Sam for short), but decided on Alex, so my middle name is Samuel.

How To Lower Your Voice - Tips From a Voice Actor
Okay, so let’s get one thing out of the way now: this is not overnight. You’ll have to discipline yourself to do this for weeks until you get your desired result. After some time it will just come naturally.
STEP 1:
Stand against a wall or door with your feet together and heels touching the wall. Stand up STRAIGHT. If your posture is impotent, then this ain’t happening.
(if you can’t stand, sit as straight as you can)
STEP 2:
RELAX. Don’t tense up your whole body, especially not your shoulders. This is so easy to do.
STEP 3:
Press the back of your neck against the wall (it’s fine if it doesn’t actually touch, we’re just working the muscles)
STEP 4:
Start speaking for 10 minutes. Find a magazine, book, article or even recite a monologue if you know any. You’ll notice your voice is already dropping two octaves.
STEP 5:
DRINK!! WATER!!!! If you feel your throat scatching or at all painful, STOP!! Take a break! And drink water, no ice.
STEP 6:
After ten minutes (or however long you can do) lay down flat. Keep your body straight. Relax your whole body. Try a visualisation where you relax from your feet up into your head. Doing this will give your throats a chance to cool down (it’s still a muscle!!)
**Bonus Tips**
HONEY - it coats your throats and protects it from damage. Use it before and/or after this exercise.
HOT TEA - I suggest ginger, but you can really pick whatever kind you want. As long it’s not coffee.
WATER!!!!
A CORK - if you’re wanting to go the extra mile, put a cork in your mouth and speak. This helps enunciation and can really help.
DON’T FORCE - if you force your voice to sound low it will sound very artificial
BE PATIENT - It’s gonna take time! Take it as a challenge.
I have tried humming while moving my head, singing to Panic! At The Disco and literally EVERY other thing to lower my voice and this is the only thing that has worked.
Just be safe, don’t hurt yourself!

My hair dresser's granddaughter was called a hippopotamus at school and she responded by saying "I'm not a hippopotamus, I'm beautiful."
That’s the kind of energy we need in life

Breathing feels hard and my heart hurts, but my heart rate is only in the low 80s so I guess life just sucks.

Earlier this week, I wanted to listen to the old phan songs for nostalgia. I used to play them all the time, but after hearing them from a more outsider's point of view, I realized just how invasive they were. Specifically the 2009, 2012, and 2022 songs (no offense to the writers). I'm sorry to Dan for treating him like a fictional character. It was immature, and I'm glad that the phandom is reflecting on what it means to be quality people.

It's so weird having chronic illnesses, but not feeling chronically ill
I have both POTS and GERD, but my medical journey has been so simple. For GERD, I've been taking medicine since before I could walk, but I've never switched meds a lot. I took prevacid in the mornings from age as-long-as-i-can-remember to 12, then baclofen 3x a day from 12 onwards. When I was younger, my doctor tried taking me off of prevacid a couple of times, but I would always stop eating from a lack of appetite and have to start taking it again. I've never eaten because I was hungry; it's always been a psychological feeling. The only reason I switched to baclofen (which has been much more effective, as I now know what hunger feels like) was because that doctor sucked. Now, my worst symptoms are stomach cramps and diarrhea, and I only experience them one to three times a day.
With POTS, the whole "chronic illness" thing is a bit more applicable, but minor lifestyle changes after being diagnosed, as well as being used to it, has made it normal to me. The biggest reason I got diagnosed was because, one day, I was talking to my mom about the "normal" feeling I get when standing up and not being able to see. I thought everyone had to rest on the fridge when walking into the kitchen until they could see again. I would always pass out in church, and after one morning where my parents almost called 911 (my mom's a nurse, so for her to call an ambulance, it has to be practically life threatening) when I fell down and apparently did the whole "body tensing up, no oxygen to my brain, skin as pale as snow" thing, they decided I should get a diagnosis. I went to my GP, and she recommended I see a specialist. When there, the guy told me to stand up and sit on the medical bed, took my blood pressure, waited a bit, then did it again, and immediately told me what I had. It took one 15 minute appointment to be given solutions: I should increase my salt and water intake, and if it doesn't stop, he could give me a pill. No tilt table test, no confusing diagnosis, no nonsense. Just, you have POTS, here's how to treat it.
TLDR;
My parents have always treated me like a normal child, so seeing all of these stories of people with the same condition being hospitalized and not being able to live a normal daily life makes me feel almost invalidated. Has anyone had this experience? Is it disrespectful for me to say I have chronic conditions when they don't impact me in the way other people's conditions do? I feel like I'm intruding on a community that I have no right to be in. Help?
