The People's Republic of Xi-feng Welcomes You
hi welcome.
This, like most documents, is a living one. Last updated 31 December 2019.
As of April 2017, I have moved to Dreamwidth; my username there is xifeng, if you'd like to follow along at home. I still read my friendslist here and respond to entries thereon or comments left on my journal, but LJ is no longer ( Read more... )
Between the ambiguous name and my personality, I have actually had people I've met online think that I am biologically male (you definitely wouldn't think so if you passed me on the street), especially people I met through RP. Apparently I play quite convincing men.
"Dysthymia" is now the accepted clinical term in the US, but I've heard it's still called chronic depression in Other Parts. Either way, not the most funnest fun thing to live with. With fuckery like that, I can see why you're a tad doctor-paranoid; I admit I can't fully relate, since I tend not to mention it to my doctor, and I've never been medicated and never will be. (I'm not Tom Cruise, and I'm not against other people having medication if that's what they need to function and feel better; I just don't personally need it, and it irks me that there's a lot of pressure for me to at least consider it, sometimes even after I've made it clear that I won't. It doesn't make me a better person, just a really stubborn one XD) Events have pretty much shown that I was definitely correctly diagnosed when I was 13, so. You know. :\
Oh, was I being you again? Sorry about that. That is definitely not an easy situation to be in; my realization that I possibly am not monogamous came fairly recently, and since I'm technically single I have the good fortune to be clear up front that someone might not be my only partner. (Or they might, but I don't want that door to be altogether closed, because you really can't call these situations.) That is, of course, not an option when you've been with someone for 4 years and it did not start as an open relationship, but I commend you for your honesty (the foregoing was not sarcasm). Way too many people would take the easy way out and cheat, cheat, cheat.
My folks were divorced about 12 years ago, and while my father and I had a hard time with each other prior to that, things really imploded after that. They imploded to the point of no return when my response to one of his wife's tantrums was "l33 dun curr."
I LOOK FORWARD TO A LONG (if not terribly productive) ASSOCIATION. :D Welcome!
