@essjayjay This day, which surprises me each year as i never expect it [i'm completely apart from / outside of any sense of any "community", & events like this & Pride & Mardi Gras etc aren't even on my calendar so i never know they've happened til i read of them], always reinforces to me how very "other" i am. As a post-op transwoman who regards her transition as a failure [not coz i did it, only that it turned out so poorly], "visibility" is the thing most of all that is anathema to me. My entire objective & hope was for "invisibility". There's so much hype & razzmatazz around these days for being different including being visibly different [which i wanna emphasise is excellent & beautiful for all who derive succour & validation from that]. It makes me feel even more odd than already, knowing as i do how much i do not want nor enjoy being visibly different. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I learned in fedi-posts/toots that yesterday/today [timezone crap] is apparently the annual Trans Day of Remembrance. I didn't know that, i didn't know there was such a thing [maybe it's a Merkan thing?]. Other times i read that it's annual Pride Day again, but similarly [though in this case yes i have heard of it] i never know it's coming, til i begin reading of it again. I live under my rock, keeping myself alone at home, participating in no LGBTQI community of any kind, not being activist in any way, just trying to be motivated enough to bother getting outta bed each morning. I wonder if more trans peeps are public & active, or solitary & inactive like me. I admire those with the courage, determination, fortitude, & self-confidence. I know how to spell those words, but that's all. Onya, fellow trans peeps. πŸ€— πŸ’œ

@MsDropbear425

Well, hugs to you too!

I should be clear that my need to turn my phone off was not meant to be a humble brag that I have too many friends. Mainly I am just avoiding my boss.

There's nothing like seeing hashtags like #SelfLoathing and #ExistentialFutility to get me off my ass and realize that my life is not as bad as it could be.

I'm open to conversation, if that floats your boat at all. #SuicidalIdeation is my thang, and I'm oh so familiar with self loathing.

@HackerNewsBot Good on her. The black dog is a horrible chronic illness. I'm more than twice her age, but wish this option also existed in Straya. I'd seriously consider it.

Of depression, psychological masking, elderly parent, & running outta spoons.


Last week, over various longish days, i needed to give my elderly dad various remote-access tech support multi-hours for his pc & a scanner issue. He's my dad, & i love him lots, but i often run outta spoons dealing with him, given the combo of his palpably diminishing mental acuity, & my parlous psychological state. T'other day he emailed me for more help, & within the last hour called me [which i chose not to pickup, & let go instead to voicemail]. I decided to send him this email, which i hope will remind him what's going on. Sigh. What a shit daughter i am for him.

Hi Dad

Is your phonecall today [in which msg you said it's not urgent] about the same thing as your email below [in which you said it's not urgent]? I've deliberately not replied yet to the email, as i was taking "not urgent" literally, & so was waiting til next week before getting back to you to show you what to do re your phone & pc.

Just some context to help [/remind] you understand. I am always depressed, & sad, & listless, & frequently crying. Some days it's less bad than others, some days it's worse. At the moment it's not good. Of course these days, & for many years as you know, i never see anyone, physically, but... even dealing with people just on the phone is extremely stressful for me, as i battle to try to mask my depression & pretend to be semi-cheery. This effort always makes me feel exhausted, & it always takes me many days to recover [somewhat]. So, i'm hoping that by next week it might return to being "less bad", & once there, i'll definitely get back to you to help you again.

Love, from your droppy bear.

@MargaretSefton Nice!

I do so, occasionally, with tags as below, but inevitably get little to no engagement [for which i am NOT blaming anyone]. IMO that's simply fair enough & to be expected, given my Venn Diagram central intersection is only ever going to pertain to a statistically tiny percentage of the overall human population, only a tiny fraction of whom would be present in the #fediverse. Additionally, given there's no real solution, those who might coincidentally also occupy that same small intersection zone, by experience, speciality or both, are prolly unable to engage coz of their own demons, or loathe to coz they already also recognise the unsolvability.

Fwiw, i gave up, many years ago, the fantasy that i can be "fixed". Thus, when i make these occasional toots, i do so really just as a primal scream into the void [which, weirdly, does actually bring a small amount of temporary comfort], rather than an attempt to discover "the answer".
