hey careful zucchinis. I left out a ton of background info for the sake of privacy, but there is obviously more context.

I absolutely have been hurt and alienated from the people I care about, because it was a hurtful and alienating experience.

Already, people sending links to potential technology this was, with potentials not as invasive as I originally thought, has eased my anxiety x10.

I had a family member go through serious mental health issues like this, please try to get help, and please try to get off the internet. There are people who will tell you to lean into these delusions and it will only hurt you, and alienate you further from the people who care about you.

Please try to get help, I know it’s hard because you can’t trust the things your brain is telling you are happening around you, but please try.

When I was in high school, we had an Intro to Psychology course. I was (and still am) super into psychology, so I took the course. Part of the course was that, as a class, we had to choose a psychological experiment and complete it, with everybody turning in their own research papers and thoughts on the experiment.

We chose a fun one from the list of pre-approved experiments- training rats to play basketball. So our teacher goes out and buys two rats. The pet store she bought them from swore up and down they were both males.

Well, we found out our Ralph was a Ralphina when we came to school and found 10 baby rats in their cage. Woops.
