Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

That's a good call DBL, even ignoring everything else anxiety meds seem like something you'd benefit from, well done.
Just try and avoid slipping into the pattern what many people do, where they go "I feel so good now that I've taken my meds, you know what I'm fine now, I don't need my meds anymore". Basic rule of meds, they don't fix what's causing a problem, they just get you in a strong enough position that you can fix it given time.

Yes. Psych meds are like band aids. People say that in a negative way a lot, but that completely ignores the fact that band aids are a vital part of healing. It's not going to cure it, but it, like Silasw said, it puts you in a better place to work through things.
I have to get myself back on my meds. I'm off my ADHD meds right now and falling behind in all of my classes because of it.

"Just as planned."
Allow me to politely disagree for one reason, as one who struggled to get to a doctor due to their mental issues.
It's less like a plaster and more like a stitch on a wound which can't seal itself properly.
We take them because there is something fundamentally broken within our brains, and we need to keep it up so we have that going.
We have to stick with the medication because you can't repair it, and so you have to emulate what is missing.

That too. The final goal shouldn't be to get off your meds. You wouldn't tell a person with diabetes, for instance, that their goal should be to get so healthy they no longer have to take insulin. The goal should be to a place where you feel happy and can function.

Yeah I admit I was focusing on anti-anxiety and anti-depression meds as that seems to be the space DBL is in, for some medication (like say my ADD meds) they're something that you just kinda take forever because they enable you to function, I guess you could say it's a differed between functionality meds and healing meds. The first are for life, the second are so that you can begin to heal and not need them. I didn't want to get into that because I didn't want to start confusing folks.

Even the anti anxiety and anti depression meds can be for life. A lot of times it's a chemical thing, not a psychological cause.
Oh really when?
Either way, step one is working out if I'm still registered at the surgery here and sorting that out.

So, at work today I was stocking beers from a trolley, a kid walked past and ask his mum "who's trolley is that?"
"I don't know."
"Could it be the lady's?"
TBF, I don't know if he meant me, but;

It feels like a roadblock even though it isn't. I know proper management of other issues is a requirement.

So scale of 1 to 10 how self indulgent is a wedding themed birthday? I know the wedding aesthetic draw is based on a whole bunch of things related to amatanormativity and marketing and the like but I want flowers and pretty white dresses and cake and to be the centre of attention.

Hello, my peeps. I had the weirdest dream....
Hm, I need to find more dresses. I haven't had much luck finding any I like lately.
I still haven't found one I like. 
All I have to wear for women's clothing is the one I posted on my Facebook.
Pretty much here too. One skirt, one pair of tights, one pair of trainers.

I once had some female clothes, but then my parents found them and... Well, it's a long story.
And very painful for me to look back on.

Now that I'm at the point that I know I'm definitely not cis, and my parents are getting a better understanding on gender, maybe.
But I might wait until I live on my own to get some more feminine outfits, because I know my parents will still never approve.
For the record, when they discovered the clothes, it was several years ago. Gender identity was not commonly known, I was still very confused, I was going through an awkward time already, and my parents finding them led to a... Different conclusion. What do you think parents would think upon finding girl's clothing in their teenage son's closet?

I wear black nail polish, eye shadow and an Alice In Wonderland purple sweater that's meant for girls. More please....
As long as you're comfortable with it.
Well it says in all the literature that I need to be managing any other psych problems first, so...
