Ooo I need to do this for my old Windows 8 laptop. It has a touchscreen and I'd like to use it for a low-spec + Wayland touchscreen testing device. Unfortunately, the battery has been dead for years, and I've also lost where the laptop went D:
Oh also hi Una✨ how've ya been??
Hi, I'm good for how much someone with dysphoria can say they are good. Idk if you are interested but i think I might be having dpdr (depersonalization derealization disorder) or at least I have something similar to it and I don't want to invalidate someone who has it but according to my humble research it sounds like I might have it. Like my whole life i felt like i'm just a mere spectator of someone else inside their body and right now feel like it idk how to better explain it, I'm sorry I'll talk with therapist about this it just is hard being like this and I need to small vent. And nice, never used laptop with touchscreen but wish you luck at preparing yours, and I'll just say once you do something yourself, like repairing electronics you feel happy and proud of yourself, which actually means something when I say how much I'm happy I did this and I'm proud I did this myself. :)
That's real. It sounds like despite all the circumstances being bad you've settled in to a spot where you can be as good as you can be for now. It also sounds like your humble research with dpdr has been good in finding explanations for your lived experience, which I hope has a side effect that you feel less alone :) All of this plays a role into how you feel, and I appreciate the detail. no worries about the lil vent 🩷
Yesss repairing stuff feels amazing, not only do you get a sense of independence, but the computer goes through this hero's journey-like experience that you get to play a guiding hand in. At the computer's darkest moment you were able to step in and save it from death, and let it breathe once more >:3
