Been having a weird one lately. 😒
Please blame the cruelty of the US Supreme Court for delaying my fanfic posts/writing. The current chapter deals with questions of family planning, and uh, it's been kinda hard writing it considering I have less reproductive rights now than I did when I started that chapter.
However, I'm coming up on the one year anniversary of How to Love a Biotic God(ess) and want to publish both this current WIP chapter AND the fun Boo one in time. [Also I'm turning 30 and that has some silly existential nonsense running around in my brain.]
Besides that, I've been getting back into the Sims 4 again and am in the process of making a new legacy challenge I'm referring to as the "Fickle Fates Tarot Challenge" atm.
Also, seriously considering getting into streaming on Twitch! I need better hardware first. But I kind of miss creative performance; I used to perform in concerts with my sax, or reading poetry at writing events, or academic presentations about niche shit I'm interested in. I'm thinking that streaming could (1) scratch that Leo sign itch to perform; (2) improve my social interactions from its current low social life state; and (3) create a small, welcoming queer community for folks online.
I'm not aiming for fame or such folly. My goal for success in streaming is that I gain enough followers/subs/viewers to be able to raise ~$100 or more for a nonprofit I support during a charity stream. (I would also like to be able to make some money, but hardly expect to make any substantial income from it.)
I continue to struggle getting the right Rx for my ADHD, and as such life is still rough for me. Not to mention the high social anxiety. But, I know I can improve things. Just...don't know the timetable of improving my current lot in life.
I hope everyone is staying safe as best they can. Be kind to yourself, and thanks for the support from y'all here on the hell site or on AO3. 💕

fucking hate it when the stuff everybody says "actually works" does actually work.
hate exercising and realizing i've let go of a lot of anxiety and anger because i've overturned my fight-or-flight response.
hate eating right and eating enough and eating 3 times a day and realizing i'm less anxious and i have more energy
hate journaling in my stupid notebook with my stupid bic ballpoint and realizing that i've actually started healing about something once i'm able to externalize it
hate forgiving myself hate complimenting myself more often hate treating myself with kindness hate taking a gratitude inventory hate having patience hate talking to myself gently
hate turning my little face up to the sun and taking deep breaths and looking at nature and grounding myself and realizing that i feel less burdened and more hopeful, more actually-here, that i am able to see the good sides of myself more clearly, that i am able to see not only how far i have to grow - but also how much growth i have already done & how much of my life i truly fill with light and laughter and love
horrible horrible horrible. hate it but i'm gonna do it tho

nobody talks about the fact that you can have all this crazy shit in your head, and want to open up and talk about your feelings but no matter what, you just can't make out the right words and properly put your thoughts and emotions into words

unsure if this is a "your doctor upped your medication and it's affecting you" sadness or a "you are a depressed and mentally ill person who will have bad days regardless of medication and therapy" sadness
