If I ever have a week that isn't all over the fucking place, I think I'll either have died or been institutionalised.

Been organising a local rally for trans rights, it's been good meeting other queer activists and being able to put my connections to use. I'm pretty excited to see it all come together and hopefully we can announce it soon.

Still finding my dosage of ADHD meds, but noticing small improvements which has been nice. First few weeks made me feel like I was going completely insane, I completely lost control over anything I was doing and spent almost every hour of the day playing guitar, despite the pain, hunger and people who needed me. Thankfully I'm past that.

Got court in a couple of weeks, they're forcing us to go in person for literally no reason. I'll have to spend several hundred dollars on travel and accommodation just to be there while our amazing legal team asks for another adjournment. Stressing me out a lot and I hate feeling like a burden for the overworked lawyers.
