Well, it's slightly different as the victim rather than the suspect, but still a stressor. Sorting out my whole life story after being gaslit and bullied is tough, particularly as I'm still finding extra bits of evidence. That's the main reason I'm getting a medical certificate. Even if I could work, a lot of my spare time is going to be spent in lawyer's offices and therapy. I might get a part-time job for a few hours a week. - What kind of therapy? Sex therapy. That's the obvious problem in my life. Acting it on TV is the worst possible idea. All those people making degrading images made me swear off sex. Couldn't relax when I slept over with Evie. The online world is so shitty at times. - Feeling some pride that the opera score is largely done. Now that everyone's got a vehicle to express their queer intimacy, I'll be able to sort out my own problems in peace and quiet.
