I need to be honest about what happened today.
I woke up into chaos. Before I even had a chance to breathe, eat, or take my meds, I was being yelled at. I was still half-asleep, overwhelmed, and suddenly expected to jump straight into chores like I’m not a human being with limits. I reacted because I was exhausted and overstimulated, and it spiraled fast. Living in a house where I’m constantly misgendered as a girl and misunderstood makes everything heavier. It’s like waking up already drained, and then having more weight thrown on top of me the second I open my eyes. I’m tired of being treated like I don’t have real feelings or real problems just because I’m 17. I’ve been through more in 17 years than most people realize. I don’t feel safe venting out loud at home, so I’m saying it here. I’m not trying to start drama, I just need somewhere to put the truth. Today was loud, overwhelming, and honestly just too much. I’m okay, but I’m shaken, and I needed to get this out.
