Furpocalypse is Garbage - A 'IRL Crazy Person' Perspective
Posted 8 years agoBefore I get those comments, yes I am mentally ill! I am by no means required to give you a list but I do experience psychosis! Like a full on real psycho, not a fake one you get to pretend to be for a weekend.
So, if you weren't aware, Furpocalypse has decided that their theme this year is 'Haunted Asylum'.
Ooh yeah, you heard me. That's real. Like, I'm not making this shit up.
And if that wasn't fun enough, look at the fun different VIP packages you can buy!

You just can't make this stuff up, my dudes.
If it isn't obvious enough, this is fucking terrible. There is such a stigma against the mentally ill, ESPECIALLY those with 'scary' symptoms (violence, psychosis, self-harm, etc) that events like this continually promote.
"Well I'm mentally ill and I don't care" - I'm glad it doesn't bother you, but seeing this kind of thing celebrated and joked about is extremely harmful to others.
"That kind of stuff doesn't happen anymore" - Yeah, it does. Google is your friend. Also books. If you REALLY need a personal, IRL story and you aren't joking around about it I may tell you privately, but you really shouldn't need it.
"Well we're all in this fandom so we're all crazy lol" - Yeah, people have been saying this. A lot. And you're all terrible. Call me back when you're getting tested for schizophrenia at 16 and all your doctors stare at you like you're a freak. Then you can be 'crazy lol'.

R.I.P. Scarlett - Safe from Matthew
Posted 9 years agoI am very sad to say that my cat Scarlett has passed away. She passed away about a week ago, but my mother wanted to tell me in person (I am home for fall break). She had been suffering from stomach problems for some time and her health had started to deteriorate. She spent her last few days being held by someone 24/7, and drifted away while being spoonfed in my mother's arms. As much as it hurts me to have been so close to seeing her one last time, it is comforting to know that she was well loved in those final hours. We think she was much older than we thought when we took her in.
She had a rough start to life, but I'm glad I got to make the other half of it as good as I could. Her old owners had declawed her (not well - she had pain in her paws a lot) and had kicked her out of their house when they got furniture redone. My neighbor was doing their furniture and saw her. When the owners said they were going to shoot her my neighbor took her away and she snuck out to our porch. She was covered in fleas and ticks, her whiskers had been burnt off, and her tail had broken at the base and never healed right (it twitched all the time - still don't know why).
But I was crying on the porch - a bunny had actually just passed away - and this cat came up and sat in my lap. My mother is a very religious person, and she honestly believes God sent her to us.
In the last year she had gone blind and lost a lot of weight. The vets weren't sure what was wrong, we spent lots of time holding her and feeding her lots of yummy wet food and chicken livers. In her last days she got baby food and anything she would eat (basically she got spoiled!).
My mother let her sit in my room a few days and stored her away with a teddy bear in her arms and wrapped up in blankets - I got to hold her and kiss her one last time when I got home. She will be cremated, and I have her collar on my wrist all the time expect for when I'm sleeping. We're looking in to getting one of those cuddle clones made of her (the plush ones, not real!!), I just hope we have enough pictures.
Our older cat Louie is taking it very hard. He used to spend all his time downstairs and now he doesn't want to go down there. I think he was honestly guarding her and now has no reason to be down there. He wants to spend all his time in my room and is being very affectionate. He is getting on in years (he's 15) so I hope he is able to overcome it soon. I couldn't bear for something to happen to him.
In better news, some of you know I live in the coastal region of NC. We have been hit very hard by Matthew. We are okay, we have a lot of trees down and one that may pose a bit of a threat to the house, but otherwise we are okay.

Tablet suggestions? PLEASE HELP!
Posted 9 years agoSo shockingly I do actually draw with a tablet. I got a Genius Home and Office graphics tablet YEARS ago and have used it ever since.
Tonight unfortunately some soda was spilled onto the pen and the old thing gave up. I figure I might as well shop around for a new brand since apparently these ones (despite being actual garbage) are now pricey.
Specs I'm looking for:
-compatible for SAI (which I wanna purchase soon) and Fire Alpaca (those are my main programs)
-VERY VERY beginner friendly (this tablet I have now is literally plug in and use, no other BS necessary)
-pressure sensitivity (is this phrased right? IDK my last tablet CLAIMED to have it and didn't)
-looking to not spend more than $200 (and even that is iffy for me)
Please help me out I know literally nothing about tablets. I'm just a simple artist who is not looking for the world of a tablet.

PLEASE READ - I'm staying home this summer
Posted 9 years agoIn a strange course of events I have decided that I need to take the summer off of theatre. This may come as a surprise for everyone, but I need time with doctors and psychiatrists to try new medicines for my head, something I cannot do up at camp. I'm not in too much of a mood to talk about it, I just wanted to let everyone know.

actual kidney ROCKS
Posted 9 years agoyes they are kidney stones my friends
The culture came back negative for any bacterial growth, so the blood in my pee (ew gross nasty) and the pain means kidney stooooones.
At first I was super duper scared but my mom has one and she talked me through it a bit and a friend of mine has them a lot and she talked me through it even more, super grateful for that. Currently doped up on vicodin with a heating pad, reading and enjoying a nice lull in pain. I think it's about to pass which means the worse should be over.
Spring break is next week so I'm gonna go to the hospital for an ultrasound to make sure there isn't a larger stone that the smaller ones are breaking off of.

Mental Health Updates Wheeee
Posted 9 years agoSoooo I've been updating you guys on my eye health but I haven't really haven't been updating you guys on my mental health.
I've struggled with mental health all my life. I've always known my brain didn't really work the same way as other peoples but my parents are both very "that kind of stuff will not be in this familiy" kind of people so I haven't been able to be screened or tested for anything.
I've recently been going through some counseling at my school and we're going through screening for things now. My parents and I have both filled out an autism inventory and sent it back to my psychologist. I highly suspect that I may mildly be on the autism spectrum, especially because my father has aspergers. I struggle with interpreting social cues sometimes, I react very badly to change, and I have very bad reactions to certain textures. I also get overloaded by certain sounds and smells, things like that.
Technically, I have only ever been diagnosed with "severe anxiety with psychotic features". This was diagnosed by a general care physician and it also does not exist, back when I started hearing things. I have always had anxiety, and my mom has anxiety. Next week my psychologist and I are gonna do a generic anxiety and depression inventory.
I've done some research of my own and observed my own behavior and I strongly suspect I may have BPD (borderline personality disorder). I experience emotions very heightenedly, to the point of making myself ill (especially anger). I've noticed the past few days that when people do something that even slightly inconveniences me I get extremely angry, to the point of wishing extreme misfortune or harm on them. It wasn't until I started observing my thoughts this closely that I realized that this was not normal.
In addition, I am plagued by intense feelings of worthlessness and boredom that last for long periods of time. These have been around since I was 14 and was originally diagnosed as ADD, as it popped up as a symptom alongside difficulty focusing and irritability. All these things would fall under BPD though.
I'm a little worried that my psychologist will not agree, since she's never brought up BPD before, but I've also never brought this anger up before. The only time anger's ever come up is when she said I was hostile on my intake form and I was like OH NO NO I'M SO NICE only because I thought wishing death on someone for misplacing your order at McDonalds was normal. Whoops.
So yeah, that's going on!
If anyone's curious (and I like talking about myself, one of my symptoms whoops), my symptoms are: severe anxiety, auditory hallucinations, one visual hallucination, severe feelings of boredom, self-worth issues, fidgeting, racing thoughts, inability to focus, intense rage at insignificant triggers (ie. someone bumps into me and now I hate them), intense emotions and mood swings, fear of abandonment, need to be liked so intense that I will stretch the truth, easy to cut people out of my life

Eye Update: Bad News and Badder News (warning needle talk)
Posted 10 years agoI went to the ophthalmologist.
The optic nerve in my right eye is the source of the problem. I have what is called blurred margins, meaning there are spots and cloudiness on/around my optic nerve/disc. This can have two possible causes: inflammation or increased cranial pressure.
Tomorrow (if I can find a ride) I'll be going in to get a visual field test. This will basically be a comprehensive map of all my vision, and this will tell the doctors whether there is an injury in my eye that they couldn't see that could be causing inflammation. When I was put on prednisone a few weeks ago it helped a little bit, so I'm trying to be optimistic about it being an inflammation problem.
The reason I want it to be inflammation is that pursuing the increased cranial pressure (ICP) diagnosis involves getting a lumbar puncture (aka spinal tap). For those of you who don't know, this is where a hollow needle is inserted between the lumbar vertebrae to drain a sample of spinal fluid. It is an extremely painful and uncomfortable procedure that laves most people bed-bound for at least a week.
For those of you that don't know, I'm TERRIFIED of needles. Absolutely terrified. Not only is this large needle involved, I would also need several blood tests before I would be eligible to have this procedure. As an adult, I might not be able to be fully sedated for the process. In addition, I have a slipped disc in my lower back so I would likely be wheel-chair bound for a significant amount of time, and I do not have the time.
The doc said that I don't have to do the spinal tap unless I want to, and I don't think I'll be able to. I understand it's my health but I cannot handle this. Even the idea of it being a possibility made me almost have a panic attack right there in the office.
I dunno guys. I'm very scared about the coming months. He did a very intense light test and my eyes are all blurry and they hurt. I don't know what to do.

MRIs are back! Good news and bad news
Posted 10 years agoThe good news? Everything's normal. No problems at all.
Bad news is that we are no closer to figuring out what's wrong. The doc I'm going to doesn't seem to know what's wrong but won't admit it. He's putting me on meds for migraines but I got him to admit that he doesn't think that's it. He's referring me to a ophthalmologist. He wants to test for glaucoma again (which I'll do, whatever) but it's obvious that it isn't glaucoma. I'm going to ask the eye doc to test for iritis; my mom and I have been looking into it and my symptoms line up.
Hopefully we get some answers soon.

Eye/Brain Updates!
Posted 10 years agoI realized I haven't really been updating you guys, sorry!!
So I saw the neurologist and then a few weeks ago I got two MRIs done: one of my eye and one of my head. The neurologist didn't really have any concrete guesses at our appointment, which makes sense. My symptoms are not too severe yet so it's hard to tell what's wrong, adding the fact that brain stuff is usually impossible to diagnose without an MRI or two.
As far as the pain goes, it's getting worse. Light bothers it much more now, and today I noticed I can barely feel my eyelids and eyebrow. You know the kind of numbness/detachedness that comes along with a callous? Where you don't feel it's there but it still feels pain? That kind of numb.
My next appointment is November 5th. Hopefully the neurologist has figured something out.

I have to see a neurologist
Posted 10 years agoTW: Eye talk
And I'm really really scared about it.
Basically I've been having eye problems with my right eye for a few months now. It's sunken back in the eye and takes a while to focus, and in the past month I've had a lot of eye pain and headaches.
My doctor just made the connection that the problems didn't start until after I was hit in the head back in February. I'm being referred to a neurologist and I'm super scared because the doctor said she has no idea what could be wrong.
Myrrrrrrrrh.

Animazement was, as usual, amazing!! It was a lot less wandering than last year which I was disappointed by, but I still think it was a great con! The furmeet was awesome as usual, and it was great to see
again! It was also awesome to see everyone before I leave (more info on that down below). I got to wear my America cosplay again and it was well received. I love fellow Hetalia cosplayers, they're always so energetic!! Overall not the best con experience I've ever had, but still awesome! Can't wait for next year!++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
THE BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
As I mentioned a few months ago, I will be in Hancock, NY for a summer job. I will be leaving next week, and during that time I will have VERY LITTLE wifi and phone access. I'm not sure exactly what my access will be, but until I know for sure, just know that I very well may be completely gone from FA from JUNE 3rd to SEPTEMBER 3rd!!!
If you don't already have my twitter (which will be easier for me to regularly check), it is MapleElliot. If you would like my facebook or phone number, shoot me a note! However I've had some bad experiences in the past, so if I decline to give you either don't be offended, I'd just rather it be a person I really know/trust.
That's all for now! Time to go pack!
