Current mood; realizing my crap body image reflects both past indoctrination (that I’m ugly) and gender dysphoria overlapping that I’m not DOING what I want as well as I’m not ACTING as I want. Not only can’t I present as a pretty girl, not only have I learned being this pissed off and bored aren’t appropriate pretty girl emotions, but I’m supposed to be a replaceable drone, so male; the idea of being a pretty boy has been set off limits to me.

When I first started seriously considering I might have ADHD my question was well, do I have ADHD or CPTSD because some stuff is common to both. Lately I've been realizing that the ADHD re-enforces the CPTSD and vice versa.
Really spotted today; emotional dysregulation from either source means things that are frustrating become FRUSTRATING!!1! Obviously the faster I can walk back FRUSTRATING!!1! to frustrating, not insurmountable, is important to avoid the angry meltdown I fear because that'd get me punished (and/or set off even more hypervigilence, with the intensity ramped up).
But; hypervigilence is holding onto fear, because you can't afford to let anything be less than absolutely vital, and if fear isn't itself frustrating it sure sets that up easily.
It's not like weepiness, the other big expression of emotional volubility, or f'goodness' sake joy, wasn't something which would be immediately spotted and punished back there.
I usually really like big Astartes walkers which are what if basically dude in power armor but now with even bigger power armor.
However I am LOSING IT at the engraved groin plate on the Grey Knights Nemesis Dreadknight. It looks like a Holy Diaper! You’re being attacked by an Assault Babyfur! “Perfidus purgator! Brother Ezekiah, we are surrounded by Tyrannids and I need a nap and want my blankie!”
don't just open that blister pack of old pewter minis from 1988, use your hobby knife to cut a small opening and let the air slowly circulate, lest inhaling it send you into retro gaming coma in which you insist And Justice for All was the best album ever and want to get more Adeptus Titanicus minis
fiending for Snarfquest and wanting to know whatever happened to Raistlin anyway
oh also And Justice for All is still one of the best albums ever.
Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
