11:18 AM - Helix

yesterday was...not so great. i think we've been slowly feeling worse because we haven't been taking our meds (it's hard to keep up with them during vacations, since our daily routine is messed up.) but now we're home after that georgia trip, so i guess things can go back to normal.

allie has been trying to help us communicate our feelings to our family, especially our mom. they sent a long text explaining why we've been acting so angry- and a large part of that is due to our mom not using our correct names/pronouns. it also just feels like she never listens to us in general, about anything. she just gives the same generic answers to everything- it feels like talking to a wall. like she can't even hear what we're saying.

i probably shouldn't get too detailed, considering this is a public blog and everything. but we've been doing a lot of talking within the system, trying to figure out how to deal with all this. meanwhile, we need to get focused on working again. it feels overwhelming but i guess we just need to go one step at a time.
