So I finally was diagnosed with two things by my current therapist which are both what I suspected. Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder, both of which I have been given a treatment plan for. And both resulting from childhood trauma and emotional abuse, heh.

I suppose on one paw I feel good about now having a diagnosis on the issues I've struggled with, but on the other it really kind of hits home how bad some of them really are. Anxiety and depression are a constant struggle for me, although I've been able to keep myself moving forward in good ways. They still sometimes hit me like a truck and unfortunately still once in a while unload on friends with a massive info dump on my feelings.... Something I've been aiming to kind of stop doing, which I've been mostly successful with..

Anyway, guess I just wanted to be transparent to everyone about it because in a way its a relief, but also a mountain I've got to keep climbing.

I really, really wish I could replace this meat body with something more, or at least alter it for greater personal expression. I feel so damn limited often times.

I made creamy garlic chicken! I had it presented nice but then I was really hungry and started eating it.... ^^; But it came out well, and my wingsister and her mate loved it, so yay!

Sweet! Officially got my Arizona Medical Marijuana card, qualified and all, and paid the ridiculous cost, but yay! ^^

They also gave me coupons that give me a free stuff at the dispensary for first time visit.

@Goldkin Been doing that all day today....

Sweet. On Monday I'm officially protected from job discrimination based on possession or use of cannabis. Arizona protections for Medical Marijuana card holders, ahoy!

Fuck drug tests, seriously. Glad this protection exists.

@Goldkin I need to play with one of those!

@Goldkin This is the entire reason I am wary of modern social media tools ... I've not had Telegram do it yet but I am going to keep monitoring it closely because it doing that to me could actually cause a lot of social upset with parts of my family.

God damn it I was hoping Telegram wasn't falling into the same trap and if it does I have no idea what I'll use as a catchall messenger. :/

Well since I'm now out here in desertland, I need to find some more snoots to boop locally, too. I just gotta figure out how to go about doin' thaaaaat

Bird doodle for practice today. Sans feathers cuz need to do a study on those...

@Goldkin It's all you or anyone else can really do at this point, just try to weather it as best you can and stockpile.

Time for happies and art!

Done for Zougui on Draconity(dot)org! ^^
