Every year around Christmas I see that post about the Black Lives Matter protest at the Mall of America resurface and I’m not sure if people are aware that it was originally posted 3 years ago right after Ferguson and it isn’t actually happening now

I’ve got this weird feeling in my right ear, I wonder if I’m getting an infection or something

Sounds randomly get all muffled and echoey, and and sometimes there’s kind of a soft popping sound

It comes and goes really quickly and it’s making it feel like I’ve got a balloon in my ear canal

Honestly since I got that diagnosis I’ve been really excited even though I know I shouldn’t be

I was already 99.9% sure that I was borderline and had post traumatic stress but it’s… Having confirmation for something that I couldn’t be absolutely sure about before is so vindicating

For the BPD test I was given, any score higher than 7 is considered sufficient for diagnosis, and mine was 12, and the PTSD one listed anything higher than 36 as its minimum threshold for diagnosis and I got 47

So in other words the only thing I excel at is post traumatic stress

I really love the conversation my therapist and I had about it, I had asked her something like “So… How bad’s it looking?” and she wasn’t even done totaling my score and she was like “Uh… Bad.” and then I just said “Thank you.”
