A deviation from news

A slight deviation from the usual blog posts for this one. I think we need a breather!

So cue the "I watched videos of Pallas cats to unwind and I can't help thinking how cute they are segment!"

Okay, their little paws on their bushy tail is really adorable! They make the weirdest squeak meow. They have thick fur and love the cold. I really want to see them in person one day. I wonder what they think about when they are on hunts. I really want to see bubbles above their heads explaining what their thoughts contain. I'm sure its either really boring and simple or derpy as heck!

I just want to share about the Pallas cats but also about my system! We recently went through about four months ago some horrific experiences with medical personnel, two psych wards and a huge misunderstanding that lead to being put on medications, against our will, we couldn't handle and have been on before and made us literally psychotic. It was the most terrifying experience of our life! We made it through and are thankfully no longer on those stupid f**king medications that they knew we were not supposed to be on. It feels like most medical and psych places don't seem to get Dissociative Identity Disorder at all nor Autism or ADHD combinations. Their pretty stupid to be honest!

As for psych wards, that was due to the fact that the officer didn't understand the difference between an Autistic meltdown crying that was from being in a scary car accident and having a mental health crisis! We were fine we just needed medical attention. Instead he took us to the psych ward because he hates transgender people. He misgendered us like five times and called us crazy for being trans yay for transphobia!

Our experiences have lead us to never want to go to a hospital or psych ward again! It was terrifying and cruel and extremely transphobic experiences! We have learned that even in California you can still get scary people who don't attempt to listen or understand!

So, as a way to cope with our trauma from this period of time, we are working on healing and giving each other love like never before. We each wrote a post it note to encourage each other and well...it lead to hilarious results! So we made digital versions of them for you all!

Hopefully some of these made you chuckle. I know it certainly did for me, Ash. My hope in sharing this blog piece tonight is to cheer people up. We will continue the story, we just wanted to break it up with a little humor and encouragement and maybe distraction. Sometimes you need to relax and unwind. Also watch videos of the Pallas cat, they are soooooo fluffy! OMG.

Love,
