hello :3 i forgot to make an intro post, so i’ll do that now.
my username is a placeholder right now until i think of something better.
transsexual man | 20 years old | united states
i love drawing, collecting stuffed animals (especially build a bears and pillowfort weighted plush from target), vintage electronics/clothing/toys/etc, and watching youtube.
my special interests are my little pony: friendship is magic, psychology, genetic syndromes, true crime, cats, and disabilities. i love learning about disability aids !!
i have 4 cats at home. i have a girlfriend and she’s super awesome sauce :3. i love my mom.
i have GERD and i have joint problems which i suspect may be hypermobile ehlers danlos syndrome. it’s really hard to get into a doctor to do genetic testing, and i don’t want to take away time with a doctor from people who really need it. i try to deal with it by using braces for my knees, elbows, ankles, back, shoulders, and wrists.
thank you for listening! i will update this as i get more comfortable ^_^
my favorite colors are light sky blue and bright saturated purple !!
i am having a very overwhelming and stressful day today already and it’s only 7:40 am. and i had a very stressful day yesterday too. everyone wants me to do this big job but i wasn’t planning on it. it’s messing up my whole plan for the next 2 weeks and im very overwhelmed but no one seems to understand that i am overwhelmed. my supervisor said that she’s feeling overwhelmed about the other custodian quitting and my mom is stressed out but they don’t think or feel like i would be overwhelmed???
my favorite hack for my GERD or any acid reflux is putting a pinch or two of baking soda in my water/drink. you can barely taste it and it neutralizes the acid in your tummy.
It’s May, which means it’s Ehlers Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month!
Since it’s massively underdiagnosed, I figured this would be a great occasion to share some of my favorite infographics about this condition. (And for any of you who have been wondering why my personal posts here are basically all about medical mishaps and weird injuries: it’s because of hEDS and comorbidities.)
To any of my fellow zebras out there, we will make it through this!
hello !! i have recently been obsessed with learning about the history of AAC/SGD . i’ve found that it is really difficult to find resources on old AAC technology . does anyone have resources i can use to look up older AAC and SGDs ? all i can find for one type of device was a few ebay listings, the website for the device brand doesn’t work anymore . thank you !!
He really likes the hat now
i was thinking about how the other day i didn’t know what “sybau” meant (it’s a new slang term that means ‘shut your bitch ass up’) so i asked my online friends and they said it means encouragement or something good. so i just went about my day until i asked what it meant to my gf bc she showed me a meme that said it in a different context that didn’t make sense as encouragement. and she explained the real meaning. i wish i wasn’t so gullible and stupid all the time! i just assume everyone is being truthful.
speaking on what i posted earlier, i’ve been working on allowing myself to verbally shut down/freeze up when something bad happens because when i overreact it hurts my head, makes me cry, brings a lot of stress, and makes me feel anxious. i recently found out what AAC devices are and SGDs are! i use weave chat on my ipad when i verbally shut down and wow it has helped so much!
I am a grown ass adult and I still get nausea when I feel like I'm in trouble. They're gonna send me to the principals office and take away my toys for a week. Can you just fucking kill me instead of making me stew in my fucking anxiety
i am confused about a bunch of people i follow. i thought that they were just emoji blogs? for aac symbols and stuff, but they are all fighting. i don’t understand because people keep saying that one person is bad but then they say they aren’t?
