Struggling post-holidays. Not sure why. Cumulative stress I guess. I had a decent holidays but not exactly relaxing, was out of town all but 1 day of it. My place is a mess, my work is overloaded, I've never had more gender dysphoria. And I'm supposed to go someplace out of town again for new years, which won't leave me any free time to catch up on any of this.
I had one real day off and I used it to 1) sleep in late (no regrets) and then 2) go to the coffee shop and finish reading To Kill A Nation which was kind of a downer, but it was nice except
CW misogyny
having to listen to the barista, a guy in his mid 50s, complain about how actually there are all these differences between men and women, and women want things in a relationship that they don't want to admit, and actually Me Too was mostly just women deciding that men showing interest in them was creepy and unacceptable if they didn't like the guy. I used to kind of respect this guy but clearly I just hadn't heard his opinions when the shop was mostly empty and he had a guy friend there to rant to. I mostly keep my mouth shut about politics there so I guess he assumed I wasn't going to care or listen if he went off with his shitty "I'm as left as they come but be reasonable" type shit.After that I went to the library and hung out with a trans friend for a while who I think knows I'm struggling but we didn't really talk about it a lot, just commiserated a little and had fun hanging out otherwise. And this week since then I've been either working or too stressed/depressed to really do anything besides veg out. I did cook some curry last night tho.
Hope things become more peaceful for you soon, comrade
well almost half the people who were supposed to go with me for new years have bailed due to illness so maybe I jinxed it and I'll just be at home lol
Thank you though, I appreciate the support. I hope your job search turns fruitful in the new year
Cheers, thanks comrade!
