  • Gender being a construct doesn’t mean you can’t willingly put yourself into that pre constructed idea, you can be whatever you like. It’s prescribing it to others that’s fucked up.

    Thank you. That was the point I was trying to make. Anyone can be whatever they want. Categorizing others is the problem, and one that feels especially wrong for me to keep seeing come from the LGBTQIA+ and ally/adjacent communities (please don’t nitpick me on terminology here, my point is that it seems to be coming from the people who I would expect to be better about this than other groups).



  • It’s a journey to find the right dosage, and combo of meds. Not to be negative but it took me literal years. Despite the horror of that statement, it was and continues to be worth it.

    The “superhuman” feeling at the beginning is normal, and it’s normal for it to fade. Whenever I lapse in taking my meds (new doctor is being a pain in the ass with refills) I get that again for about two days. That high point is not what you should be chasing as a new normal, but to be fair it doesn’t sound like you are. That full superhuman feeling wouldn’t be lasting for two whole weeks, or months.

    The meds aren’t going to make you not yourself. They aren’t going to magically change yoir bad habits for you. In fact, they can exacerbate some bad habits by enabling you to focus on them for longer periods of time. It does for me. The meds should enable you to stop yourself when you are making a bad decision and redirect yourself. They should prevent situations where you know what you need to do but can’t will yourself to do.

    Discuss all of this with your doctor.
