Filling out psychiatric paperwork really makes you feel like a zoo animal, huh

yes hello I am a terrible little gremlin of a man with 100 disorders and no friends

“Should I answer this question honestly or will my honest answer be used to reduce my autonomy?” sure is a fun question to ask yourself for an hour straight while you revisit every negative circumstance you’ve ever experienced in your life

Also I get to do the extra spicy version where I expect both misogyny and transphobia so that’ll be fun

Also don’t think it’s missing me for a MOMENT how the conflation of criminality = dangerous is openly used to remove autonomy from overly criminalized groups

Have my appointment tomorrow, let’s hope I don’t get
1) misgendered
2) disbelieved about my DXs
3) accused of drug seeking behavior
4) openly patronized bc I disclosed I struggle with psychosis
5) told I’m just being oversensitive/hypochondriatic

“You only listed your partner and one friend as your social support system”
“There’s a PANDEMIC”
“Hm.”
“I have almost 7000 Twitter followers and only some of them call me slurs if that helps”

And then even if I get new meds I have to LIVE IN MY BRAIN as I wean off of and onto new meds and I’m trying not to be panicky about that.
Like. I know I need it. I’m barely “functioning”.
But god I’d give anything to make this process even slightly less invasive and demeaning.

“But how can you be physically disabled if you don’t have a diagnosis?”
“Because I live here”

Lmao just trying to think of how to even explain my life right now to an outsider… I’m gonna get the Look of Concern™️

Anyway I am very smol and for all my bluffing I am very anxious about my appointment tomorrow being fucking awful so good vibes and/or solidarity appreciated
