    ... Before I was Thirteen, I was ArcAngel actually. Only changed it 3 times since I've been here.

    Y so much work? -.-
    Lol, for some reason that reminds me, this one time a fella in my class sent, like, half the people in our year group a message on Facebook asking if we had summer homework, the day before we were due back. He wasn't the sharpest knife in the...place where they keep the knives.

    I'm doing okay, thanks! Therapy today was pretty nerve-wracking, but I'm alright. How about you?

    Thank you for your blog comment I just thought I'd put something happy on it since it seems to be filled with a lot of sadness.

    Haha, I'm the same but opposite. Erm. If that made sense.

    I still have no idea. I mean I know the difference between jam and jelly in Australia, because our jelly is like your Jell-O. I think maybe the difference is in how they're made or... something. I don't know, I've looked it up several times and I always get confused. But I think there is a difference, because all the Americans at my college always complain that we don't have jelly and jam doesn't taste as good with peanut butter.

    My favourite is milk chocolate but I definitely prefer dark over white.
    Okies. Thank you! I had a total mind blank and couldn't think of anything except Vegemite, which wouldn't have made sense because it was for a story set in America, and then I spent ages trying to remember the difference between jam/marmalade/jelly and got really confused.

    You might have to, I doubt you'll come across too many other people willing to do your math homework for you.

    Oh, there's even more the year after, and those ones essentially decide the path of my life. I might get a few hours here and there, or I could find somewhere I could volunteer at the weekends.

    It has good and bad parts.

    Indeed it is.

    Yeah, I'm hoping I'll have enough free time. Next year is a pretty busy year at school though, lots of exams and stuff.

    Thankee. Algebra is usually my forte.

    Lol, it wasn't an appointment but I do have therapy tomorrow, so I'll bank the good luck for that. Thanks!
    I volunteer at a special needs school, and I had to go in early today. But they're finished for the summer this week, so today was my last day. I'm gonna miss the kids!

    About me
    Hey all! My name is Dez, and I am a 28 year old who just graduated with my Masters in Public Health. So I basically just entered the "real world" and have to be an "adult." Ew.

    On any given day if I'm not here you'll find me napping, sitting in therapy, or watching something on Netflix. I'm trying to do this thing called "finding a hobby," so feel free to pass along your favorite books and TV shows.

    I have an interest in sexual health, especially contraceptives, the prevention of sexually transmitted infections as well as HPV and the vaccine in particular. I stand with Planned Parenthood and similar reproductive health organizations. I also have an interest in vaccines.

    I'm still basically trying to figure everything out myself, but feel free to say hello. If I don't answer right away, rest assured that I will when I get a chance! :D

This is a letter to my guinea pig, Pancake, who passed away 7/1/25.

Dear Pancake,

You left this world on July 1, 2025 after a brief illness and were cremated on July 3, 2025. I am sorry that I didn’t notice that you were sick sooner, such as when you stopped wheeking for food when I passed your room around dinnertime. The room was quiet whenever I walked by for a few days, and I thought it was because you were getting tired of my dinner selections. Maybe if I saw that...

My dad searched my room before I got out of the hospital and took my good self harm and suicide methods. I'm trying to wait for the right time to get them back and it's so hard. What he didn't find to self harm isn't as satisfying so it's not giving me that same sense of relief. I was self harming a little more severely before he took away all my stuff and now I can't get back to that same level. And I had a plan for those suicide methods.

I also gave up what he didn't find of my...

Well, I got a little too silly. Here's to hospitalization number 6.
Where I go to group made me go to the ER because of an increase in suicidal ideation, self harming almost daily, and nonstop anxiety.
The ER itself wasn't bad. My patient sitter was so nice and we had a lot of great conversations I haven't had with previous sitters. Then I transferred to the ABU part of the ER where I had my own room with a TV and watched a SpongeBob marathon.
I got to the...

It’s been a while since I have blogged and a lot has happened but honestly I can’t think of most of it at this point so I’m just going to go with the main points.

I am very much not okay. I almost ended up in the hospital because I was incredibly suicidal but I decided to do a partial hospitalization program instead. I had to stop seeing my individual therapist because the insurance won’t cover both at once so I’m hoping she is willing to take me back after I am done or I will be...

I did a risk assessment with one of my group therapy clinicians the other day and it told us that I was high risk for suicide. I already knew that was going to be a thing. My mental health has been bad lately. The clinician let the crisis team know and they called me, but I was able to convince them I was fine.

I was supposed to go for a medical test on the sixth. They had me go off of my reflux medication to do it, and then the day before the test they called and said they made a...
