I forgot that it's my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn't even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

addiction, recovery (good news!)

Its been two weeks today since I've been high, which I think is pretty good. I'm cutting back big time, because I was addicted. Like, it was a good week if there was more than one day where I wasn't high.

I ran out of weed last time I smoked anyway, and the barrier of having to text my dealer, pay for weed and collect it is enough to stop me from getting more. I've weaponised my executive dysfunction.

Last time I got high, it was also the first time in two weeks, and I had a better time than I had for months. I just stopped enjoying weed and started expecting it. Having it be an occasional way to chill is so much better than having it be a lifestyle

I've weaponised my executive dysfunction.

It's a powerful weapon. Use it wisely 0_o
