Health hasn't been great- on new meds and the side effects mean I'm even less functional than before. Just glad I can still game with my friends. Getting an EEG done in December for seizure stuff 😵‍💫

Birthday is coming up soon. Been over a year since I was homeless so celebrating that. I've been more stable than I was a year ago and moving to Colorado has been pretty good for me. Just wish I had insurance 😬 would be good to be back on meds and in therapy. My system has been super active lately.

Had another seizure today while waiting at the SSA office to get back on disability benefits 🙃

Hey this is to make sure I can still afford rent, I already had to pay for the move which was about 2500 total. In-between jobs since I lost disability status and need income immediately. Thanks in advance!

Made the move to Colorado! My roommates are awesome, and I'm already starting to feel at home here.
The move was expensive though so if anyone is able to help out, I started a GoFundMe! I have no income currently since I lost my disability and I'm looking for part-time work.

I'll be at Animazement this year! Only doing Saturday because I'm low on energy and I'll be riding the bus home on Sunday morning

I'm gonna miss this pup when I move back out. This is my dad's pit, Sissy. She's a sweetheart who fell asleep on my feet today

Lucid dreaming is pretty neat. Getting to interact with other system members while I'm asleep has helped us integrate better

I'm looking for part-time remote work, most of the job listings are full-time or don't pay enough 😕

Been in GA 6 months now- still looking for housing but finding a roommate has been difficult, especially since I'm in a red state and openly queer. Hoping something comes up soon so I can move out of my dad's place ✌️

Being plural on main because it's too exhausting to mask as a singlet weeee. Anyways Violet was our last host and she's finally learned how to give up control so we can switch more fluidly. It's a lot more peaceful in headspace now, think the combo of meds + therapy is helping a lot. -Rain

Working on Tales From the Underworld has slowed down a lot. My dev team is probably just me at this point and I'm going to try my hand at ren'py after all. I've been in a creative rut for months now but I'm hoping to find inspiration to keep going regardless.

People really lack compassion for folks who struggle with unreality, and the aftermath of it can be so messy. I know from firsthand experience and I'm tired of being the butt of the joke. I'm glad to be starting back in therapy finally though, I hope we mesh well. I meet my new therapist today

Rain Hunter @haydenroyle.bsky.social · Sep 8

I don't think people realize how long it takes to come back to reality after an extended psychotic break, especially when someone is not receiving basic life needs like food, water, and shelter. Be kinder to those experiencing unreality, and be patient. We are still human and need connection.

Really excited to be able to game with my friends again, I've had to use a Chromebook for a while and I can't do much besides writing and streaming shows. I still lack motivation for publishing my writing though. I don't know what my next step is to submit a manuscript 🥲

Finding it hard to relate to my family out here when they all see me in this little sister who is delicate and needs protection. Dealing with sexism from direct family sucks and I've been feeling so powerless out here due to the people I'm around

Rain Hunter @haydenroyle.bsky.social · Aug 22

I started carrying around little name tag beads for my primary fronters so we can keep track of each other and feel validated by having a name that varies from Host. So today was Toby and Toby and Rami got some bonding time listening to music while we walked out dad's dogs.

Ah my birthday is tomorrow- I'm a little jittery. As a neurospicy person I don't like surprises so birthdays and presents are something that can dysregulate my day. I'm grateful today for having inspiration to draw and write again! Keeping up the momentum of creation so I don't lose that energy.

Rain Hunter @haydenroyle.bsky.social · Aug 16

Writing projects again and updating socials so y'all can see glimpses of what I'm working on! the-swing-system is my Tumblr I have been talking about plural issues with. It's a bit of a more private blog for me to discuss my DID system. #talesfromtheunderworld

Okay okay I fell prey to the Vriska kinnie

Rain Hunter @haydenroyle.bsky.social · Aug 12

Today was a lot of personal growth. I let go of my anger and achieved some peace and self-forgiveness I needed. I was in fact my own enemy keeping me back. I needed to grow up to realize I can stop punishing myself now.

Rain Hunter @haydenroyle.bsky.social · Aug 11

Trying to cope with the constant flashbacks sucks. Being here everything is just repeating itself from my last recollection and the deja vu never goes away. I'm nauseous from the time jumping that happens with cPTSD and especially with DID

The first day back to working! Doing some clerical work for my Dad's repair company

Making comics for my personal subsystem stuff to start to heal the trauma from this summer's events. I'll share some highlights but this is mostly my art therapy journals so I'd like to start keeping more things private after I was outed as plural to a huge audience and still struggling with housing
