Being a woman is the best. 10/10 would gender again. Looking in the mirror and seeing a cute person is such a splendid experience. My little flip flop from being borderline embarrassed at people seeing me in public to genuinely happy to look at myself in the mirror was shockingly fast. It felt like it happened in the blink of an eye, but I know it's been a process.
I don't actually think I've changed a whole lot visually. I think it's mostly a mind game. I think it's just a significantly increases confidence
I'm so much happier with my own existence than I ever thought I'd be. Starting on this journey is absolutely one of the best things I've ever done for myself, and I'm so happy I didn't let the fear of other people stop me.
I also feel like I'm slowly starting to allow myself to have a personality, and I'm excited to see where that goes. I've met her before, but I'd really love to see her out more

yewler [she/her] - 1.4yr
::: spoiler wherein yewler recounts possible transphobic discrimination and how it led to her receiving probably the biggest compliment she's ever received. She spoilers this partially out of embarrassment and partially due to a personal inability to say a positive thing about herself without feeling the need to apologize. She closes with a call to action to stand up to the beepers that threaten the tranquillity of this space
There's an ongoing situation in my life that I'm tentative about sharing many details about here. I'd pretty much resigned myself to it at this point, but one of my professors asked to speak to me after class yesterday and told me he thinks there was foul play with regards to my being transgender and that with my permission he'd talk to some people to try and get it fixed. He said I was the best student he's had in his 40 year career.
He emailed someone and copied me on it, and I cried reading it. It occurred to me reading it that the person he's emailing is someone I've never met, and who didn't know I existed until this email. And the email reads like I'm just a woman in an unfortunate situation. I read the word "she" and just broke down. This is a person who knows my name and who I know for a fact doesn't see me as anything less than a woman. And that's so beautiful to me.
I feel so cared about by my professor. He messes up my pronouns fairly regularly but apologizes when he catches himself. Says it's cause he's old and forgetful (he's about to retire). I think he proofread the email specifically for gender errors which makes me feel super good.
Anyway, enough of that. The boop army should join me in rising up against the beepers

I ain't gonna lie... I'm thinking about her 24/7, I'm waiting for her to text me when we're not texting, I'm super jumpy and excited when we are texting, and I'm feeling incredibly warm and gushy when I look back at our old texts.
I've been saying, really, that it's just a little silly crush that'll be over soon enough, and I hope that it's the case, but I really wouldn't be shocked if my heart keeps growing and growing and growing to a point where I can confidently say that I [l-word] her.
Another thing that scares me is that it would be a long-distance relationship, which one could make work... but I'm just handling things as I go for now.
The best way for me to interpret this situation is to be positive about it and be happy knowing that I have a person to go crazy over. That in and of itself is fun.

Lol I've cried 3 times in the past 2 weeks. That's more than I'd cried in the 2 years before that. I think I've found my threshold for what gets me to cry to be a lot lower than it's been in the past. In the past I would only cry when I was devastated and I hated feeling like I could never get anything out when it wasn't something severe. It's nice finding myself crying about things and then actually feeling better afterwards? Like I've actually gotten the feelings out?

Australia sucks, but I think I have had the most frictionless experience accessing HRT I've ever heard of online (outside of out of pocket cost which was okay like around a hundred dollars gap fees and private meds cost).
I made an appointment with a GP who does informed consent HRT prescription, chatted for a while, then I did a blood test and got a consent form to take home to peruse. I came back 3 weeks later and got the prescription. And it's for 100mg spironolactone and 4mg oestrogen which I understand is a real amount, not homeopathy.

My friendship with benefits ended a couple weeks ago and last week I started to set up a profile on bumble again. It’s nice writing and possibly even meeting new people, but at the same time online dating sucks so much. I know that a lot of trans people have it way worse and it feels nice to know that there are other people interested in me. But going through that same conversation with each one just to see if they really like me as a human being or just see me as a fetish object is so exhausting. And it really doesn’t help that my self-doubts push me heavily into seeking a cis-hetero man. I know that I will find someone who’s as nice as my ex-FWB. But this will take so much time and effort to get there again.

I'd been playing in my band with my partner for a while before we really hung out outside of that. We talked a little before and after practice but I eventually mustered the courage to ask if they would like to go for a walk after practice next time. They said yes! Unfortunately, they were going through some serious shit the day of the walk so practice and walk were cancelled . A little while later they asked if I wanted to stay for dinner after practice (it's at their house) and I enthusiastically said yes. We got to know each other over a lovely dinner they made, then we ended up watching a movie and halfway through they put their hand on my lap and looked up at me with big doe eyes . After the movie (don't remember the end ) we retired to their room where they showed me all their toys and we talked about kinks and things we've always wanted to try and were so in sync on everything. I didn't end up going home that night and our relationship has grown into something incredible since then.
I hope this new relationship goes just as well for you!

Carcharodonna [she/her] - 1.4yr
Yeah, that stuck out to me too. Like, how dare we even think that someone famous could represent us in any way! :(
However... If I'm not mistaken, under Feinberg's definition of trans, anyone who is outside the standard cishet gender binary falls under the trans umbrella. So even assuming Gerard Way really is a he/they (and that's totally fine of course), they're trans. This means Kurt Cobain is also trans. Deal with it, haters.

A while ago, back when I was in nursing school, we were doing some group work. It was me and my friend and two other girls, we were discussing a nurse who had to call in sick because theyre kid was sick and tried to find coverage but couldn't (they were short shift that day too), so called in. The manager escalated and said if they couldn't find coverage there would be professional consequences (think like written up etc)
We went through the scenario and all looked at each other and agreed it was pretty obvious who was at fault and what should change. It was like a comedy routine - me and my friend thought the nurse was correct and management needed to cool off and the other two sided with management.
We had an argument, we said it's not staffs job to find coverage. They had tried and wete unsuccessful, sure the nurse wasn't sick it was the kid - but that's just a part of life as a parent, your kids get sick and you have to take care of them (it's not like they can drive themselves to a hospital and wait around to be triaged). The other two insisted that the nurse was wrong and should be fired even, they were short staffed and needed to try harder to find coverage - we pressed, again, that that's literally what management is paid for. Scheduling, appropriate staffing, if they're that short they need to bulk up on hires and casuals.
Anyway, I just remember how all of us couldn't have conceived of a different way of viewing it. I still can't believe those two thought management as in the right, hopefully they don't learn the hard way that management doesn't actually have your best interests at heart.

Be careful with knives and never punch a metal door no matter how much of a blind rage you're in, and then never attempt to wash a knife with a broken hand in a cast that you're trying to keep dry more than you're paying attention to being safe with the knife
Also sleep deprivation is very bad and makes you stupid and angry and impulsive and make bad decisions
Everything's bad! It sucks! I'm having a very bad time and can barely imagine feeling better ever! Anything good that'll happen to me feels impossibly far away now!

So, thinking about how to handle a social situation. A member of a local/regional trans discord is celebrating their birthday at a LGBTQ+ bar and put out a general invitation to join them in the discord. I haven't really interacted with this person, but I would like to meet more trans people in the community. However, I am worried about feeling out of place since I haven't met this person before, and haven't met too many people in the discord in person. I also don't drink so I am anxious about that as well.
Overall, I don't know if I am over interpreting the invite, or if I am overthinking it.

JohnBrownsBussy2 [she/her, they/them] - 1.4yr
I was browsing more in the discord and they shared an anecdote about friends not showing up for their graduation party, and that they feel anxious about the same happening for their 21st birthday, so I guess they'd probably want more people to attend as opposed to just close friends. Idk

A Sonic Unleashed recompile just got released for PC and seeing everyone play it on Twitter is making me kind of nostalgic and wistful.
When it came out it really felt like, despite the werehog, Sonic was heading in a really cool new direction.
You finish the game and listen to “Endless Possibilities” and it really felt like there were.
And then the series proceeded to have arguably the worst decade of its existence where no game matched the polish, depth, budget, or vision of Unleashed let alone exceeded it.

So I started a new job a couple of weeks ago, in a house supporting people with autism and other complex needs.

::: spoiler depression, venting, drug/alcohol mentions, medical, lots of pain
tfw realizing the closest you've been to happy (or just not abject misery and excruciating pain) lately are all just moments of escapism and everything real and immediate in your life is terrible, bleak, agonizing, disgusting, tedious, frustrating or some permutation or combination of all of the above
I just wanna be more heavily sedated at this point
Waking up from anesthesia with a bunch of fentanyl in my system was the closest I've felt to physically content in ages and omg I just never realized outside of the big injuries how much pain I'm just normally in all the time until it briefly went away
Really fucking cheesy, but you know the scene in The Matrix Revolutions where Neo and Trinity fly the Logos up above the blacked out sky and see the sun and the upper atmosphere for the first (and only) time? Only thing I could think to compare that to
Not being in pain was like seeing a brand new color for the first time idk
Maybe it's shitty of me to admit but part of me is furious that I've suffered so much and there are people out there with perfect health and no lingering conditions or maladies that aren't ever normally in pain that have no clue how good they have it or how much worse things could be
This is fucking agony
The metaphorical Gom Jabbar is at my neck nonstop now and round the clock on the minute of dose oxy+acetaminophen+naproxen+aspirin barely feels like it even dulls it from 8 or 9/10 down to 6 or 7/10
I don't know how I'm ever going to get decent sleep again with a baseline of pain this high
I'd do heroin in a blink of an eye if it were guaranteed to actually be real h and clean and not fent, I just need some break from this, it's too fucking much
I'm sorry but I feel like this is making me unravel mentally and idk what to do other than attempting to distract myself
I can't drink anymore on these many meds and wanted to quit anyway
Kratom doesn't feel like it did anything
I don't want to break the time schedule and double up on it since I know I'll end up a junkie like that just like how getting some relief from booze initially turned me into an alcoholic
I just don't know
You think at a certain duration your brain would just start blocking a certain constant pain signal to preserve the rest of your functioning better as like some deeply engrained survival instinct, but outside the initial adrenaline spike from the wound happening and keeping that going long enough to get emergency care and get stable, not really
I don't know what to do if it keeps hurting this much indefinitely
Sorry fuck I love this place and you all and don't wanna be a downer or worry anyone but

I've definitely started to notice "non-erections" in the morning, which I am happy about since morning wood was a terrible experience for me, but I am also anxious about losing tissue that could be useful for SRS. I still get erections when masturbating, but I have read about peoples' experiences where that was insufficient to prevent tissue atrophy.

::: spoiler ADHD med questions
hey fellow ADHD havers, I have a question. I am back on meds - trying Concerta 18mg. However, I got prescribed a generic and I found myself crashing really hard 6 hours in the past few days, much sooner than the 12 hours the medication is supposed to last.
I take generics for all my meds - allergy meds, hormones, Tylenol. Its cheaper and what matters is the active ingredient, right?
But i thought that I would try anyway because the choice is for me to either switch medications away from "methylphenidate ER" entirely or to try brand Concerta, at like an extra $60 per two weeks (since my insurance only covers up to the cost of the generic).
I am, of course, able to find tons of resources online to confirm my bias, as well as some interesting delivery mechanism drama, but i want to hear from people here.
Am I being crazy? I mean, I already have the meds exchanged, so im going to try the brand anyway, but like, has anyone had this experience? Is the brand name really worth it? Are the generics just putting the ingredients in and calling it a day, extended release be damned?
:::
5
TerminalEncounter [she/her] - 1.4yr
::: spoiler spoiler
Depends on the med, part of the brand stuff is patents on extra little helper chemicals. If Concerta works and the generic didn't, hey that's just how your body works
I take Reactine for allergies, the generic (ceterizine) just doesn't cut it for whatever reason. It just is what it is.
:::

rtstragedy - 1.4yr
well, here i am with the brand name Concerta, and i can say that:
I didnt feel like a super overwhelming kick-in in the morning like I did past few days (however, I didn't have coffee this morning, and also I was only on generic for 3 days because of the crashes)
It's like 1:45 here and I have Not Crashed Yet, which is good. I'm tired and a bit headache-y because I skipped coffee I think, but I'm not entirely useless and laying in bed ignoring work like yesterday, I'm functioning and even focusing OK and work doesn't feel impossible.
apparently the mechanical patent on the concerta release mechanism expired last year, but my insurance only covers up to the price of the cheapest generic, of which there are only 2 in Canada, apo-methylphenidate ER (I was on this, clearly a different release mechanism - its more traditional pill stuff, unlike the brand Concerta which has a shell that allegedly cant be smashed by a hammer and a tiny hole to release medication) and some other three letter prefix

Being a woman is the best. 10/10 would gender again. Looking in the mirror and seeing a cute person is such a splendid experience. My little flip flop from being borderline embarrassed at people seeing me in public to genuinely happy to look at myself in the mirror was shockingly fast. It felt like it happened in the blink of an eye, but I know it's been a process.
I don't actually think I've changed a whole lot visually. I think it's mostly a mind game. I think it's just a significantly increases confidence
I'm so much happier with my own existence than I ever thought I'd be. Starting on this journey is absolutely one of the best things I've ever done for myself, and I'm so happy I didn't let the fear of other people stop me.
I also feel like I'm slowly starting to allow myself to have a personality, and I'm excited to see where that goes. I've met her before, but I'd really love to see her out more
::: spoiler wherein yewler recounts possible transphobic discrimination and how it led to her receiving probably the biggest compliment she's ever received. She spoilers this partially out of embarrassment and partially due to a personal inability to say a positive thing about herself without feeling the need to apologize. She closes with a call to action to stand up to the beepers that threaten the tranquillity of this space
There's an ongoing situation in my life that I'm tentative about sharing many details about here. I'd pretty much resigned myself to it at this point, but one of my professors asked to speak to me after class yesterday and told me he thinks there was foul play with regards to my being transgender and that with my permission he'd talk to some people to try and get it fixed. He said I was the best student he's had in his 40 year career.
He emailed someone and copied me on it, and I cried reading it. It occurred to me reading it that the person he's emailing is someone I've never met, and who didn't know I existed until this email. And the email reads like I'm just a woman in an unfortunate situation. I read the word "she" and just broke down. This is a person who knows my name and who I know for a fact doesn't see me as anything less than a woman. And that's so beautiful to me.
I feel so cared about by my professor. He messes up my pronouns fairly regularly but apologizes when he catches himself. Says it's cause he's old and forgetful (he's about to retire). I think he proofread the email specifically for gender errors which makes me feel super good.
Anyway, enough of that. The boop army should join me in rising up against the beepers

I ain't gonna lie... I'm thinking about her 24/7, I'm waiting for her to text me when we're not texting, I'm super jumpy and excited when we are texting, and I'm feeling incredibly warm and gushy when I look back at our old texts.
I've been saying, really, that it's just a little silly crush that'll be over soon enough, and I hope that it's the case, but I really wouldn't be shocked if my heart keeps growing and growing and growing to a point where I can confidently say that I [l-word] her.
Another thing that scares me is that it would be a long-distance relationship, which one could make work... but I'm just handling things as I go for now.
The best way for me to interpret this situation is to be positive about it and be happy knowing that I have a person to go crazy over. That in and of itself is fun.
You're right, it's just exciting and fun all around when you first start liking someone. It's good to focus on the positives of that and take whatever happens next as it happens. Very happy for you regardless! 🙂

Already terrified for hand surgery
Got billing estimate
Immediately terrified of how fucked I am financially and how much of a stupid piece of shit I am for putting myself in this situation just because of not being able to keep my shit together and my piece of shit dad for getting me to the point where I snap
Overwhelmed by all the pre appointments forms and financial assistance form shit
Have to fill them out
On every one of them, have to see "name:(DEADNAME), sex:M" over and over and over
Break down and cry
I've ruined my fucking life and it wasn't ever even really me and I feel like I've wasted my whole life and even if I got it together right now, it's too late and I'll just be in debt and working shitty jobs the rest of my miserable life
I don't know how I'm making it through this
Two mistakes having meltdowns from situations I never should've had to deal with in the first place and now I'm completely fucked for the foreseeable future
Too bad you can't pay medical bills in tears :::
Lol I've cried 3 times in the past 2 weeks. That's more than I'd cried in the 2 years before that. I think I've found my threshold for what gets me to cry to be a lot lower than it's been in the past. In the past I would only cry when I was devastated and I hated feeling like I could never get anything out when it wasn't something severe. It's nice finding myself crying about things and then actually feeling better afterwards? Like I've actually gotten the feelings out?
Holy shit I got cute lil microboobs!
Australia sucks, but I think I have had the most frictionless experience accessing HRT I've ever heard of online (outside of out of pocket cost which was okay like around a hundred dollars gap fees and private meds cost).
I made an appointment with a GP who does informed consent HRT prescription, chatted for a while, then I did a blood test and got a consent form to take home to peruse. I came back 3 weeks later and got the prescription. And it's for 100mg spironolactone and 4mg oestrogen which I understand is a real amount, not homeopathy.
Oh yeaha
I'm just gonna start dressing like a lesbian and see if that makes me like girls again

I keep forgetting what day of the week it is for normal people. All I know is I have some days on some off and my phone tells me when to inject E.
So my work is still transphobic and shitty, and I am looking for a new job. However, in the meantime, my best friend started on Monday working with me. If I have to keep working here for the foreseeable future, at least I have an ally now. I mean, I really like the job. It pays well and I like the work. It's just industrial blue collar in the rural midwest. Which means around half my coworkers are your run of the mill chud.

My friendship with benefits ended a couple weeks ago and last week I started to set up a profile on bumble again. It’s nice writing and possibly even meeting new people, but at the same time online dating sucks so much. I know that a lot of trans people have it way worse and it feels nice to know that there are other people interested in me. But going through that same conversation with each one just to see if they really like me as a human being or just see me as a fetish object is so exhausting. And it really doesn’t help that my self-doubts push me heavily into seeking a cis-hetero man. I know that I will find someone who’s as nice as my ex-FWB. But this will take so much time and effort to get there again.
::: spoiler me gushin bout my life (cw dating, kink)
My date went so wellllll yesterday! It was so cute, she is so cool, and im so excited! We both want similar things (friends+playpartners) and shes so sweet and grounding! im gonna get my hair cut by her wife sometime soon, and next week were going on a picnic and then to a local multi-org meetup to talk about trans shit :vivian-joyous-love: and shes in a band! And we line up so well on kink stuff, we both want petplay and impact and service and fucking, and ive reached a point of trust with her that i can be excited for that, which is really nice
Gosh shes so cool
Tyyyyyy im v happy and excited
::: spoiler cw sex, dating I'd been playing in my band with my partner for a while before we really hung out outside of that. We talked a little before and after practice but I eventually mustered the courage to ask if they would like to go for a walk after practice next time. They said yes! Unfortunately, they were going through some serious shit the day of the walk so practice and walk were cancelled
. A little while later they asked if I wanted to stay for dinner after practice (it's at their house) and I enthusiastically said yes. We got to know each other over a lovely dinner they made, then we ended up watching a movie and halfway through they put their hand on my lap and looked up at me with big doe eyes
. After the movie (don't remember the end
) we retired to their room where they showed me all their toys and we talked about kinks and things we've always wanted to try and were so in sync on everything. I didn't end up going home that night
and our relationship has grown into something incredible since then.
I hope this new relationship goes just as well for you! :::

So I saw that My Chemical Romance was doing a show with 100 Gecs and the thought popped into my head: Could Gerard Way be trans? I was curious and did a little digging. It wasn’t long before I came across this thread (cw:
link): https://www.reddit.com/r/MyChemicalRomance/comments/ycugh4/what_we_actually_know_about_gerards_gender_and/
Even if they aren’t trans, I think those comments are at the very least blatantly trans-positive and supportive of questioning gender which is always great.
Also, just gonna leave this here:
Thought Gerard came out as he/they
I've never really listened to them, but some of those comments on that very fair and well sourced post are so weird. You so much as mention the word gender around some people and they lose their minds. Meanwhile, it's totally us who are obsessed. 🙄
Yeah, that stuck out to me too. Like, how dare we even think that someone famous could represent us in any way! :(
However... If I'm not mistaken, under Feinberg's definition of trans, anyone who is outside the standard cishet gender binary falls under the trans umbrella. So even assuming Gerard Way really is a he/they (and that's totally fine of course), they're trans. This means Kurt Cobain is also trans. Deal with it, haters.

A while ago, back when I was in nursing school, we were doing some group work. It was me and my friend and two other girls, we were discussing a nurse who had to call in sick because theyre kid was sick and tried to find coverage but couldn't (they were short shift that day too), so called in. The manager escalated and said if they couldn't find coverage there would be professional consequences (think like written up etc)
We went through the scenario and all looked at each other and agreed it was pretty obvious who was at fault and what should change. It was like a comedy routine - me and my friend thought the nurse was correct and management needed to cool off and the other two sided with management.
We had an argument, we said it's not staffs job to find coverage. They had tried and wete unsuccessful, sure the nurse wasn't sick it was the kid - but that's just a part of life as a parent, your kids get sick and you have to take care of them (it's not like they can drive themselves to a hospital and wait around to be triaged). The other two insisted that the nurse was wrong and should be fired even, they were short staffed and needed to try harder to find coverage - we pressed, again, that that's literally what management is paid for. Scheduling, appropriate staffing, if they're that short they need to bulk up on hires and casuals.
Anyway, I just remember how all of us couldn't have conceived of a different way of viewing it. I still can't believe those two thought management as in the right, hopefully they don't learn the hard way that management doesn't actually have your best interests at heart.

So, thinking about how to handle a social situation. A member of a local/regional trans discord is celebrating their birthday at a LGBTQ+ bar and put out a general invitation to join them in the discord. I haven't really interacted with this person, but I would like to meet more trans people in the community. However, I am worried about feeling out of place since I haven't met this person before, and haven't met too many people in the discord in person. I also don't drink so I am anxious about that as well.
Overall, I don't know if I am over interpreting the invite, or if I am overthinking it.
I was browsing more in the discord and they shared an anecdote about friends not showing up for their graduation party, and that they feel anxious about the same happening for their 21st birthday, so I guess they'd probably want more people to attend as opposed to just close friends. Idk
An open invitation is an open invitation. I would love to meet new trans people at my birthday party. I met my partner at their birthday party that their friend took me to as a +1.
It sounds like you should go! I bet you'll both be glad you went.
I'm a little confused where the hesitation is coming from? You have a public invite, you want to go, you don't drink - okay, so DD or just stay sober. What's the question?

A Sonic Unleashed recompile just got released for PC and seeing everyone play it on Twitter is making me kind of nostalgic and wistful.
When it came out it really felt like, despite the werehog, Sonic was heading in a really cool new direction.
You finish the game and listen to “Endless Possibilities” and it really felt like there were.
And then the series proceeded to have arguably the worst decade of its existence where no game matched the polish, depth, budget, or vision of Unleashed let alone exceeded it.
Honestly glad black knight was in the works still and was kind of forgotten during. The same storybook team minus Maekawa went on to make lost world and well... Unleashed had heart so I always appreciate it for that.

Kratom doesn't feel like it did anything
I don't want to break the time schedule and double up on it since I know I'll end up a junkie like that just like how getting some relief from booze initially turned me into an alcoholic
I just don't know
You think at a certain duration your brain would just start blocking a certain constant pain signal to preserve the rest of your functioning better as like some deeply engrained survival instinct, but outside the initial adrenaline spike from the wound happening and keeping that going long enough to get emergency care and get stable, not really
I don't know what to do if it keeps hurting this much indefinitely
Sorry fuck I love this place and you all and don't wanna be a downer or worry anyone but
getting drunk off ginger ale and watching
on Theo Von
yeah it's a nice day to be trans
I'm listening to the glover ost rn
Watching Furiosa, I wonder if Mad Max the Videogame has a photo mode, oh it does and it's really good, huh. And it's not very expensive to buy. Maybe new project.
A few months back we would have like 600 comments at this point in the week on this mega. Did a purge happen while I was away?

::: spoiler sad Need to quit looking at her picture and making myself sad
Can't bring myself to do it
It just hurts so much
I just wish I had some closure
Please just let me know why
Things seemed so good and then she abruptly went quiet and idk what I did wrong
I know I fell too hard too fast but I wish she could know my intentions are good and I'm not a creep and would treat her the best I could
::: spoiler CW: genitalia, ED, anxiety I am curious about transfemme folks' experiences with using ED medications to prevent bottom atrophy. I've definitely started to notice "non-erections" in the morning, which I am happy about since morning wood was a terrible experience for me, but I am also anxious about losing tissue that could be useful for SRS. I still get erections when masturbating, but I have read about peoples' experiences where that was insufficient to prevent tissue atrophy. :::
Did anybody catch Gavin Newsom telling Charlie Kirk that he knew about him because his adolescent son is a fan of Charlie Kirk?

Sorry, wasn't sure which mega to post this in...
::: spoiler ADHD med questions hey fellow ADHD havers, I have a question. I am back on meds - trying Concerta 18mg. However, I got prescribed a generic and I found myself crashing really hard 6 hours in the past few days, much sooner than the 12 hours the medication is supposed to last.
I take generics for all my meds - allergy meds, hormones, Tylenol. Its cheaper and what matters is the active ingredient, right?
But i thought that I would try anyway because the choice is for me to either switch medications away from "methylphenidate ER" entirely or to try brand Concerta, at like an extra $60 per two weeks (since my insurance only covers up to the cost of the generic).
I am, of course, able to find tons of resources online to confirm my bias, as well as some interesting delivery mechanism drama, but i want to hear from people here.
Am I being crazy? I mean, I already have the meds exchanged, so im going to try the brand anyway, but like, has anyone had this experience? Is the brand name really worth it? Are the generics just putting the ingredients in and calling it a day, extended release be damned? :::
::: spoiler spoiler Depends on the med, part of the brand stuff is patents on extra little helper chemicals. If Concerta works and the generic didn't, hey that's just how your body works
I take Reactine for allergies, the generic (ceterizine) just doesn't cut it for whatever reason. It just is what it is. :::
well, here i am with the brand name Concerta, and i can say that:
apparently the mechanical patent on the concerta release mechanism expired last year, but my insurance only covers up to the price of the cheapest generic, of which there are only 2 in Canada, apo-methylphenidate ER (I was on this, clearly a different release mechanism - its more traditional pill stuff, unlike the brand Concerta which has a shell that allegedly cant be smashed by a hammer and a tiny hole to release medication) and some other three letter prefix

I’m listening to the new Haus of Decline episode and I don’t know why it’s surprising (but also comforting) that she’s same person as she’s always been but with a different voice
She has a podcast?
Originally it was just a podcast, the comics actually came later
…weird
Yeah I didn’t know until recently too. She even had a co-host in the beginning, who left a couple years ago

Their lyrics and the concept story is rly good imo once you translate it from Swedish too
This is me projecting and being stoned and also enjoying seeing a handsome shirtless man poledance lmao but I also love how a lot of their stuff kinda has a more feminine vibe than a lot of similar bands? Might just be me but like
I absolutely would not have predicted that video. Hell yeah.

Really loved it, I 100%ed it while back for the gamecube and like while it has some rough parts I did really like it. Seeing everything that could have been not to mention the revisions and differences between builds and each consoles were so cozy
In less important but still exciting news, I finally got the last red mark I needed on the a-side cast in BoI and unlocked the mega mush. I'm so relieved that I never have to play J&E again. Now for the b-sides...
posting in the unauthorized mega (this one)
Got some new exercise paraphernalia, hopefully will be able to start some sort of routine and stick with it this time. Ya girl needs to get herself some nice arms and legs, some limbs really worth showing off
Through breath’s embrace, I danced inside,
To fuel the warmth of love’s delight.
A whispered word, arms opened wide,
My spark now turned her hold to tight.
In crimson streams, I rode the tide,
Then left, transformed, in fading flight.
A sigh released me, love supplied,
Back to the stars, into the night.
Why don't people dance at clubs anymore?? I haven't gone out properly in ages but apparently people just aren't anymore? What's the point of it then?
