I realized that toy collecting and family friendly video games are two strangely specific passions of mine that really calm me down, I usually try to limit my interaction with them cause I don't wanna be seen as a man... Woman? child, but I think I'm at a point in my life where it's like. Eh. If it keeps me from eating my own foot.
The one thing that calms me down that idk if I could ever do again unfortunately is rewatch MLP, I've been rewatching it ever since I was like 8, but around 19 I got scared it'd make me look like a jar fucker. Sucks cause some of my fondest memories are eating day old Chinese food to the final episode.
My mom also may be able to hook me up with a job taking care of the elderly, she claims it's "Easy" but that sounds kinda daunting, we'll see though. All in all, I'm feeling fine. The meds are definitely working to calm me down, of course I still get bad thoughts but the meds sort of make me realize they're weird and unsustainable. Like I said, it's like boiling in shit and then realizing "Wait, I'm boiling in shit! That's actually BAD!".
Oh ya! I was gonna take the thread's advice and look into an autism diagnosis but HOT DAMN that shit's expensive as fuck, might have to wait a bit unfortunately ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh ya oh ya, when it comes to how I feel about being black rn... Ehhh. Sad acceptance, like "Ya, I'm black, that's unfortunate. I'll never be able to be comfortable with myself because of it. Oh well, them's the breaks."
