Yes I hear that! I'm wrestling with a fun combo of trauma related repeating crises. Here, there are very few medical/ psych professionals, so the discernment/ diagnosis/ treatment is almost impossible. My favorite though, is the internalized voices shaming me for feelings etc, or often denying that my lived experiences even happened! 🤣

By which i mean- the struggle is real! Good luck to u & us all!

I'm teaching my first "Storytelling with art" class at the Arcata Playhouse Ourspace project today!

I'm calling it "Storytelling with sculpture and (free) digital tools".

The link goes to a quick storyboard I put together as an example, and to hopefully spark some interest for potential students.

Also thanks for using the term "spell slots"!

I love that! I've tried so many times to explain "spoonie" to folks and they seldom *get it*, even when i think they're really trying. I've tried using analogies of cars running out of gas, plants' roots drying up, etc, and the "understanding" just didn't happen.

(A huge thing for me also as a t1d).

At least with "spell slots" the gamers will understand! 😃💜

Thanks for sharing such useful info!
I just took those tests but haven't gotten the results yet- good luck to us all- whatever that looks like!

(IMHO diagnosis is not only a version of empathy/ vindication, but also a door to possibilities of a vastly improved "quality of life! Of course that may be a "silver lining" tactic, speaking as a ubiquitously depressed "juvenile onset diabetic" 😉)

(Intro contd) I'm probably the equivalent of a paralegal on federal disability laws, (APWU UNION YES), and maybe an honorary MD on the comorbidities of diabetes and PTSD, hyperlipotrophy, the Somogyi effect, Hypoglycemia Unawareness, catecholamine burnout, counterregulatory responses, the resulting autonomic failure, etc.
