If there's anything a dissociative disorder nets you, it's a shitty memory. This website fell victim to that. I forgot this site existed and forgot the credentials to access it (though, as you can see, I regained that access).
To put it lightly: it's been a weird and hectic few months. I turned 20 back in April. My younger sibling graduated. I changed majors. I lost(?) a close friend. I went to a Florence + the Machine concert (!!). Most recently, my family fostered a puppy for three weeks against our will—that is, we rescued him on the side of the road and the local shelters didn't have room for him for three weeks. He's gone now, thankfully.
I also managed to get in for an autism assessment! Unfortunately, the assessor thought I did too well with reciprocal communication to be autistic. I strongly disagree, especially considering that I've needed to very deliberately learn to appear "normal" in conversations and that a more socially competent alter handles appointments. According to the accessor, my problems are because of depression stemming from my chronic physical conditions... at least it's better than him saying to my face that my disorder is facticious just because I scored myself high on self-assessmets, I suppose.
On a lighter note, I've been slowly but surely getting back into reading novels! I've primarily been reading short stories and poetry for the past few years, so it's nice to pick something long-form up. I'll likely write up some reviews on the books I've been reading once I start up the reviews pages.
For now, I'll leave it all at that. I'm going to be working on my microblog a little today and drafting up ideas for other pages later. :]
