10:56 AM--
I'm going to the mall with my best friend and another one of our friends. We're all trans so we're calling it a trans mall party. I'm really hoping it'll be fun, but my anxiety is kind of acting up for no reason so I'm writing here to calm myself down. My morning isn't going how I planned it so it's really throwing me off.

First, I woke up way earlier than I wanted to. My bottom dysphoria is acting up really bad and I can't get a packer. Then I couldn't find my binder. Now I've found out that my curling iron is broken and what I want for breakfast is not available.

I'm really jittery and kind of feel like I'm going to throw up, but it's okay. I just have to push through it. This is not one of the times that I'll let my anxiety stop me from going somewhere. I already cancelled these plans once. I won't do it again.

5:41 pm--
Okay, so it was actually really fun and I had a good time once I was already out with my friends. Our trans mall party was a success!

It would've been an absolutely perfect day had I not started my MANstruation about half an hour before we left. Good thing I was prepared and had a pad on hand. Didn't help my cramps though.

Curry for lunch was probably not the best idea.
