seishunToday's been a bloody pissing wreck for me, emotionally. Came to a fairly important realisation, then found out something which threw me for a loop and caused a *HUGE* crash, which, when combined with the anxiety I was feeling about going to group tonight left me in a very bad way. So I wound up taking half a lorazepam, which I thought would be enough to help me but not so much as to incapacitate me, to get the anxiety under control, since that was the real problem. Anxiety over what to do about something I can do absolutely nothing about: super productive!
Then at group there was a person who took every opportunity to say "I'm a transsexual". Seriously, every damn time they spoke they lead with, "Well, I'm a transsexual". And, apparently they're either bigender or third gender. They didn't seem to have a clear concept of that, or if they do, they failed to communicate it clearly. They were pissed off at the idea of being associated with the B, L and G community and said "I don't want to be under any umbrella. It ain't raining!" They were vehement about that. And any time someone tried to address anything they said, they got super defensive. I…um… I really hope they don't come back. I think that if I were the one saying people with different opinions and experiences were marginalising me, I'd steer well clear of that group in future.
The lorazepam and emotional fun I've had today have left me feeling empty and exhausted and I need sleep, so I'm heading to bed now. I'll do another post later about the important realisation. :)
