Soooooo I took one quarter of a tibolone the other day, intending on temporarily taking a low dose each day so I might get some sleep, and it turned out to be a daft idea and I'm still recovering from the weekend long meltdown & shutdown 🫠 it basically triggered pmdd in a bad way and yeah

Going through bad times atm which is why I'm not posting much. Had to come off my hrt because this type (tibolone) made me scarily depressed, but without it I can't sleep, and the no sleep is making me ill. Just trying to hold on till my next gynecologist appointment (in just over a week)

Also, "many autistic people have what are called 'spiky profiles,' which means the same person can have both pronounced abilities & disabilities—whether or not they require full-time support. Autistic people can also have high within-person variability," depending on environment.
That "neurodiversity advocates claim severe autism doesn’t exist" BS is circulating again. ND advocates don't deny that autistic people can intensive disabilities. However, saying “low functioning” or “severe” dismisses a person’s abilities, & saying “high functioning” dismisses their disabilities.

Watching Quinni in Heartbreak High is making me have so many emotions and is like an antidote to the shame I feel internally for my autistic traits that I spent most of my life being punished for. Good autistic representation is so important and I'm crying it's so overwhelming ❤️🩹😭

I got myself a shower chair, should have got one years ago. I've just used it for the first time, felt like I was at a spa or something (there's no bath in my flat I rent) , and I didn't feel light headed and like I need to rush everything like I usually do. It's like a little bench I really like it

Positive things today, saw a Halloween dragon skull in tesco, wanted it & saw some great Halloween stuff in general. Had a mini goth day trip, was fun. The "spider skeletons" are hilarious, they have ribcages for backs and human finger bones for legs?😂 haha the dragon skull is more true to life obvs

I keep getting random men in shops telling me how young I look/assuming I'm a teenager and then telling me, I'm so confused am I missing something? I don't understand what they're trying to gain bc if I was a teenager I'd be like "ok?", I'm 29 and I'm still like "ok?" What's their point?

So with the hrt (tibolone) I'm so depressed I can barely get out of bed, move through life like an dissociated ghost, but chem menopause without the hrt is looking like my joints being fully in pain all day and night, complete insomnia and feeling like I've been set on fire every half hour & fatigue

Today has been better than recently. I've halved my hrt dose, and took a small amount of ritalin, and felt more like myself than I have in weeks. Still a bit wobbly but I definitely don't tolerate tibolone, 30 mins after taking it the tinnitus is so loud

This is a deeply thoughtful and important topic. I’m hoping a quantitative study can be done, driven by your joint framework. I’d be curious to see longitudinal studies/correlations of your model to global crises: COVID/2020, housing crisis/2009. This was me in 2009.

Okay so today I took half a tibolone tablet in stead of the full dose and generally have been up and down, but tonight I took the other half (decided I'd switch to taking it at night) and I feel so so sick and have tinnitus and headache, reader I'd gotten used to feeling that way every morning, oops

The way I'm feeling on chemical menopause has made me scared af of having a hysterectomy now, in case it makes me feel like this but forever. I'm thinking it's possible that it's *so* bad cause tibolone is making me feel worse and I've not tried any other hrt. (I'm spending my days crying in bed)
