She/her, gay as the day is long. Legal parasomething. Frozen in the Great White North
On my way to my ECT appointment.

Not allowed to eat anything beforehand because it's under general anaesthesia. Most days it's no problem.

Today it's a problem.

I'm starving.

I could eat a horse.

Just let me have a little snack? I promise I won't asphyxiate later...

Hey guys, looking for any and all educated advice on how to convince the bank to give me a loan while I'm off work.

I'm planning on offering my car (a 2021 RAV4) up as collateral. But I know I'm going to check off the high risk boxes and I need to figure out how to mitigate that...

@kristadb1.bsky.social I was going to DM you but I see you have those locked down, I assume to avoid idiots with Opinions™️

I was wondering if you might be willing and able to help me out with a ride home from the hospital Monday (no problem if not, it's a pretty random request)

I want to give a thank-you card to the doctors and nurses in the ECT department at the hospital. I'm six treatments in and already feeling more centred and grounded and calm, and this is amazing to me.

Would a card be weird? I realize they're just doing their job, but it's fixing my life

My work wife is giving her two week notice today 😭😭😭

I'm glad for her, she's getting a substantial raise by quitting. But I'm sad for me.

Fun thing about ECT: it can mess with your memory while you're doing it.

Which makes logging into Bluesky fun, because I'm reading replies to posts I have no recollection of making

Much as I loathe asking for help, I have to swallow my pride on this one.

If you can spare a couple bucks I'd be grateful.

This treatment has the potential to be lifesaving but I still need somewhere to live

So I'm off work for my ECT treatments.

I'm supposed to be getting short term disability pay, but nobody will tell me how to get the supervising shrink to fill out the attending physician's report, so my insurer hasn't processed my claim yet.

Rent is due tomorrow and I don't have it. 😬

Fun fact: I'm a redhead. Not brilliant orange, but like strawberry blonde.

Which I was reminded of this morning when I went under anaesthesia and was fully aware of the fact that I was paralyzed and couldn't breathe.

0/10 do not recommend.

It's been 10 years since I got my semicolon tattoo.

Friday I started ECT for my treatment resistant major depressive disorder.

That little tattoo helped me get through the last ten years to get to this point. Hopefully the ECT gets me through the next ten, and beyond.

My story's not over yet

Couldn't decide if I wanted hot coffee or iced tea

So I got both.

I'm supposed to be hydrating today for my appointment tomorrow, this totally counts right?

Just stuck a ruler up to my head. If I'm going to cut my hair I need to take at least 12 inches...

Been a while since I cut it, apparently
Nooooo, I'm not toying with the idea of flipping my head upside down and cutting off eight inches of hair, I don't know what you're talking about...

I used a colour lifter to get the purple dye out of my hair and now my hair is a light teal and

um

I'm not sure that's how colour theory works?

So I'm scheduled to start ECT Monday for my treatment resistant major depressive disorder.

And I'm excited and nervous...

And at the moment really freaking out about how much work I have to do today to clear off my desk for my extended absence... (which is obviously why I'm procrastinating here)

I buy and eat mini wheats. On purpose.

I'm not petty, it's just for reasons that I just haven't gotten around to dealing with this week old email in which my colleague of almost a decade spelled my name wrong

It's only 10:45 and my Get Up And Go already got up and left...

Mwahahaha Helpdesk allowed me to remap the key
My new work laptop has a "copilot" key where there used to be a ctrl key.

This isn't going to go well for me

My kid has watched K-Pop Demon Hunters like 20 times.

I just caught myself singing one of the songs to myself...

I just want my Teams calls to go through my headphones but the Teams incoming call notification to ring on the speakers even if the headphones are plugged in.

I need to learn how to code.
