Introductions, part V: Don't Say We Never Warned You.

[Doktor Howl]

Just tell us about yourself, and what horrible personal defect led you to us. 

Ok...Truth is stranger than fiction.

I was married to a female...who was not born physically female.
When she transitioned, she took the middle name of Eris...and that's what she goes by.
...She is a true avatar of the Goddess, alright.
...The divorce was final  (ironically enough) on April first.
She's still here in my house, but will be leaving soon.

We were just profoundly incompatible, especially after she stopped taking her medication.
We were together for 10 years total.
...She stopped treating me with respect entirely around 2005 though.

I'm under stress and suffering from a wonky, fogged brain right now from her incipient departure...bon voyage to the crazy cat lady...
She named all the cats in the divorce decree.
O.o

Yes, we were really married, in Texas, because for the point of marriage the state looks at her birth sex only.
If you meet her in person, she may go explodey if you call her sir.

...In 2011 my brain went REALLY wonky, in what was perhaps my most spectacular mental breakdown/reformat.
...I am now on me version 4.0...Mental reconfiguration hurts, but it was either that or self-destruct.

I am sad and relieved that I won't ever get to pop out a sprog, but single parenthood's just a bad idea.
I have a 11-year-old sinus infection, and I am tired a lot.
I pop pills like a pac-man to keep my sinuses somewhat open, lungs open, brain functional. 
I really do set thing down randomly-right now I can't find my damn paycheck.
I turned 40 a couple of weeks ago.

Okay.  So, you yourself are female?

Also, pills here makes everything better.  Subjectively.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Hi.

This is my zany, crazy, random introduction post.

NOW LOVE ME BECAUSE IM UNFORGETTABLE

Hey there, new guy!

If you have insurance, you might want to get that sinus situation looked at. I had surgery five or six or seven years ago and haven't had a sinus infection since. I'm also not tired all the time anymore.

Although, that might be mostly stress in your case.

Your ex-wife sounds like an asshole.

I'd love to hear about that. Always interested in travellers tales from planet batshit. Did much the same myself a couple of times in the past read about it here If you're as interested in other's meltdown experiences as I am, you might get a kick out of the spelling mistakes.

And I had the brain flukes, so I sympathize with both of you.

Did you have actual brain flukes? Like forealz little buggers in your head? Somehow I always thought that was a euphemism. Now I have a gnawing feeling of ick, buzzing around the outside of my cranium

Oh, they exist, but that's not what I actually had.  I had a non-malarial brain virus.

That means they don't know what it was.

Okay.  So, you yourself are female?

Technically and legally female.
I refer to myself as "Intersexed between the ears" though. 
I have let people pick the pronoun set they wish to use with me and wondered what it told me about the person.

I was depressed enough to be hospitalized for about a year, but I don't have insurance. 
There's the county, but they would not keep me long enough to do any good.

...I was pretty suicidal for about a year, such that I was spending hours a day making more elaborate plans to do myself in.  Then I started getting back some more repressed memories, along with PTSD freakouts.
Then I started figuring out who those voices in my head were...And none of them liked my wife.
We (an interior we) started working on why that was...

Your ex-wife sounds like an asshole.

In my ex's defense she did pay for the first sinus surgery, which occurred in Mexico.
My ex-wife probably has Asperger's.  Almost certainly.
She does not want a diagnosis. 
When I said that figuring out how to interact with neurotypical people would be helpful, she said (loudly) "Why should I change my reactions to accommodate other people?  Why can't they accommodate ME?"
She has often wished people were more like computers, simple to understand, logical, and they do what you tell them to.

Went through the county to get a second sinus surgery.
...I need to get back in the county and get more crap removed from my head.
It'll probably take about a year to get a surgery scheduled, I want them to go for a frontal sinus obliteration.

Okay.  I'm going to refer to you with female pronouns unless you would rather I didn't.

Ouch ouch fucking OUCH.

I do take a certain pleasure in the bolded line, though, since it's such a beautiful example of Texas fuckheaded legislation backfiring on them.

Better, it's only available under the 5th district court in San Antonio. We had to drive over.
The clerks faced with us had this wonderful deer-in-the-headlights look.

I am so confused by your postcount. It appears to be normal?
