The earlier-mentioned meeting went OK. I don't really know if I can truly believe in the prospect of things getting better, but I feel that maybe they heard me a little bit better today. The main concern I have is that they are making assumptions about my abilities based on how I present. There's this idea that I'm able to self-advocate because I'm educated, but I don't know what I need. I'm so used to things being hard and just having to deal with them that I have no idea how to even imagine that things can be better. So how can I ask for the things I don't even know that I need?

Today I'm meeting with J.D. to discuss ways to improve my professional life. I'm not really excited about it because I have to mask to get through meetings.
