Honestly at least I’m the US we need to instill term limits on the house and senate, and take care of the wide spread gerrymandering, and it’ll fix itself. Unfortunately the right has managed to drive a wedge between the people using religion to control them, so half the population votes against their own interests and another quarter of them is so poorly educated that they don’t understand how the government actually works.

I’ve been thinking about this problem a lot lately and I am absolutely stumped on how to get past it.

I just set like 37 alarms every ten mins for an hour before I have to be up. With the snooze button my alarm goes off more and more frequently the closer to the time I have to be up.

Basically, annoy yourself into waking up.

You are making one huge assumption here that is false.

That the majority of the policy makers CARE about our well being. This is especially not true in the US.

And the trained professionals are, more often than not, not trained how to deal with these issues in real life, at best.

IF the person can even afford to go to the trained professionals in the first place. Therapy is a privilege.

I’m super tired of people saying the same old tired ‘tips’ and acting like these things are EASY! They’re not. They are very hard and complex psychological issues.

For example it’s easy to tell yourself your worthy, but not so easy to recognize imposter syndrome in yourself. It’s hard to connect ‘eh I donno why but I hate this art piece I made that everyone else seems to honestly love’ to ‘I chronically feel like nothing I ever do is good enough.’

Testosterone does not make pregnancy impossible, that’s a very dangerous myth. Trans men typically don’t get pregnant because they either have/use some form of birth control, or dislike or arrive sex due to dysphoria, or only have AFAB partners. Many trans men are still very fertile. We would have to stop hormones in order to have a safe pregnancy, but getting pregnant on hormones is COMPLETELY possible and does happen.
