Wordpress changed things and is just arsy to use.
I ended up looking at Wix.
I want my uterus yeeted too. I have a friend who had the whole shebang out. She's on I think hormone tablets to help regulate her oncoming menopause. She did have to go through these injections before the op to see how she'd go with menopause like symptoms before for a good few months or so, it did help with her endo and so all the i's and t's dotted and crossed, got the op. She's doing well but menetally it's a bit hard on her I think. She's got her Autism diagnosis recently, and has fibro and just finishing up I think a Uni degree? (it's high study in literature I know that much). and she had issues with the disability part of the course, mostly in getting her needs met, which they did.. like in the last 3 or so weeks of the course.
So there's pros and cons to yeeting whole uterus. Tbh I use my pill to skip my periods. I kinda hope I get early menopause.. like I don't look forward to the flushes and other stuff but I get anxious at the thought of my period. I become more of a recluse when I have to have my period and I'm already pretty anti-social.
Thanks for the welcome back <3
I hope I can somehow manage my life a bit better this term rather than a flurry of classes/sleep or nap after class/do some housework and repeat. Because I've not felt this stressed in a while about my classwork.

Right, I forgot it's rude to label someone. I feel stupid now. Sorry, @Moi
It's weird to me to be called ma'am. I feel too young for that. I prefer more equal terms of contact.
@Hana, I love the idea of calling your alters Brain Parts. For some reason it's cute to me

But growing up it must've been stressful as hell
Do your alters come here sometimes or is it just a you thing?
@River: Oh, what changed in Wordpress? I've just started working on it. Wix was not recommended to me. Some said it's not great.
Of course there's pros and cons. I guess I'm just biased
Maybe some kind of routine then, to manage things better? In a ritual sort of way, not something boring

It was certainly wild. Looking back on things after diagnosis, a lot of stuff made way more sense. It's amazing what you can get yourself to justify though. I was wandering around like "jeez, it sure is annoying when that disembodied voice in my head cries really loudly for 2 hours. Oh well, time for lunch".
I think I'm the only one that uses KofK, unless I make them collect my Troth Tokens or something. They don't seem to care much about my dress-up games LOL. They've got their own hobbies I guess. I know one reads a lot, and another one does embroidery. One is a kid and like binge-watches Sonic the Hedgehog.
Oh man Wordpress... just that name makes me feel so old. I'm really surprised they still exist. It sure was THE thing to have when I was younger, but you don't hear much about it nowadays.

OMG, "that disembodied voice in my head" XD Well, can't blame you for not paying too much attention. If it was normal to happen then it was normal.
Sure, I was just curious

Embroidery sounds amazing though. I'd love to know how to do it. But I can't even sew XD
I hear all around about Wordpress because I keep going through courses and every one mentions to make a website based on Wordpress XD

There's a crazy stat that wordpress still powers like over 50% of the internet. It's definitely still a thing haha. And yeah Wix isn't great from my expereince - I know a lot of people are drawn to it because it's cheap, but it's not seen as a great option for professionals or businesses. If you can get a really good template and also make sure to upgrade to use your own domain name then people won't be able to tell, but I also didn't find it quite as easy to customise to the degree I wanted to compared to other ones I tried (I've also had Format, Squarespace, and both Wordpress.com and .org sites).
@Moi, that's super interesting. Like Hana said, I guess we don't have words for everything yet! But it's okay to not like the labels that are out there already. You can just be "Moi" :D
I had a lot of gender struggles when I was growing up, but it wasn't from DID or dysphoria or being trans or anything like that, like people I know have. (actually, Hana, my sister in law just recently got diagnosed with DID so it's super interesting to me at the moment). I just... didn't like the way I was expected to act as a girl, didn't like how people treated me, didn't like the ways my body was changing. I still hate it in some ways even though I've come more into my own femininity. I wouldn't want to change myself to male but I am not completely with being a female if that makes sense hahaha.
With the debates going on at the moment about whether you should allow teenagers and younger children to start transitioning, I'm always quite cautious. I got my period young and I was so upset about it for years, I probably would have actually started down that road if it was available to me. I wouldn't have been REALLY trans but I would have played the game and given the answers that adults wanted to hear if it would get my body to stop maturing and stop giving me periods and weird big boobs faster than everyone else and hairs in places I didn't want.
Anyway, that turned out to be an essay haha

What's the difference between wordpress.com and .org? Everyone recommends the .org one.
Also, wow, you've tried them all, haven't you XD
I agree that transitioning young is risky. Kids struggle anyways, there would have to be a really thorough psychological interview with the whole family. With caprisious kids it might be dangerous.

(I forget always which one is which) but on one of them, you get plugins available but some of them cost money to use. With the other, you don't get the option to use plugins until you have upgraded your site some more.
I think there were some other differences but honestly that is the only place where I really noticed the difference in terms of what I'm using it for XD

Then I guess the .org one is with the plugins available, because everybody always says get the org version, don't take com, but they never tell why xd

Yup I'm just me \8u/
I feel like I'm much younger than I actually am.
Other people have pointed that out too.
My mom said it's because of my depression and anxiety disorder and me becoming a shut-in.
I more or less got held back several years xD;
So I don't feel as old as I am and so I don't like being referred to as a woman or ma'am.
I fucking hate being called ma'am >Bu

Mentally I'm still around 17, that's almost a decade younger than I am now. I think everybody gets held on a certain level and we just learn to mask it by "acting like grownups". We're all still kids inside
