As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Depression, anxiety, self thoathing

Feel fucking useless. Every time I try to go do queer shit so I'm not so chronically lonely I get most of the way there, barley holding myself together from anxiety, then it all bursts and I have to struggle not to break down right at the door. It always ends in me being so mentally fucked while I'm there that I don't talk to anyone and nobody talks to me, or I am so broken down mentally that I don't go and leave crying. Just dont understand how the fuck people do this shit. Just feel constantly burnt out and lonely

Planned Parenthood follow-up went well. We upped my dose from 1 mg 2/day oral tablets to 5mg/week EV IM (keeping on the 50mg 2/day spiro for now). Really excited!

I like to name my characters in video games and ttrpgs the name I veeery nearly chose for myself, as like a little joke that literally only I find funny.

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago (3 children)

One girl in my Vampire group decided to name her character with a new name she wanted to try out. Turned out she really liked that name and now she and her character have the same name, which is confusing at times.

CW: Genitalia

Tried tucking for the first time (in private). I got some compression panties from Tomboy X. They are expensive, but seem to work. Unfortunately, I got an erection from gender euphoria that ruined the tuck, but I was able to try on some pants that I had gotten and really like but couldn't wear due to the fit as it regards the untucked crotch.

Also, starting to do voice training exercises. It's neat to feel and manipulate the larynx, although I can see how it's going to take a lot of practice and effort to sound natural/consistent. Got laser hair removal scheduled as well. Just going to be $75/session for the the face/neck, which isn't bad at all.

Regardless of the broader context, I am happy to be making consistent transition progress.

I had such a long and exhausting day but I got a permanent cast for my hand instead of a splint held on with an ace bandage wrap and the lady that put it on for me was the nicest person and really good about explaining everything and was so sweet, I'm gonna have to bake her some brownies or something and get her a nice card

sad

I think that's the first time someone's (sort of) held my hand in like 5 years lmao catgirl-cry

After all this stressful shit, when I got home all I could think about is how nice it'd be to have a partner to come home to and just cuddle me

I'm so fucking lonely lol, it physically hurts sometimes

Oh but on a happier note, went to the park before the appointment and saw lots of nice dogs and a very cute (assuming?) gay couple and the way the one looked into the other's eyes was so adorable

Like you better be good to that boy, I can tell he fucking adores you

Saw a posting for a job I actually want instead of just needing to survive, but I don't think I'm qualified doggirl-gloom Might just apply anyway. If they laugh and throw out my resume it's not like I'll know any way.

anti-trans legal situation

So far I have heard of state agencies rejecting ID renewals if you use an amended birth certificate, and one case of a trans woman having her passport renewal rejected despite other documents having an updated sex.

I am wondering if the latter was a case of authorities refusing to honor a sex change during the passport renewal process, though, or if the previous passport had also been updated and somehow they knew anyway.

Is life just an endless cycle of u-hauling into a different relationship every 2 years? Surely it will be different this time... clueless

Fuck I had a terrible thought I am being a bad communist

smut, horny

Had a thought about being in a relationship with a theoretical person in a communist party where because of the power dynamics at play they order me to cuddle them and get kissed by them and I have to follow their orders

Alright anyways, I think I'm a bottom-switch, but I am near constantly a sub and a flustered mess when someone is mildly nice to me

In the process of getting a therapist. Hoping to hear back this week!

Venting, Probably Insane

I had a bad day yesterday. Really lost my cool, lost my glasses then got frustrated with my brother over text trying to talk about it. I hit a level in my emotions that I am not comfortable with, so I need to change.

My new glasses were like, part of feminizing my appearance, so it's upsetting not to have them. Glasses are the only thing protecting others from my intense yet forlorn stare. They help me see, also.

I guess I got caught up in assuming that just because my brother is also trans, that he would like, be more understanding of this or something. He came out 10 years younger than I am. He had our parents. Nobody knows what I dealt with in high school, and they'll never ask.

I worry more and more that everyone in my life likes their Quiet Little Brother who Doesn't Speak, and don't have a ton of room for that to change. I feel like I have to work 150% to match other people's social competency in most settings. So speaking of my needs is just really hard.

It's hurtful to call someone your favorite person and then just keep them in a little box and disregard their emotions and their problems when they get too big. You can at least say you don't want to talk about it. That'd be a step up.

Equally fun is processing that I'm probably autistic and have an entire other theater to wage war on in terms of understanding myself.

So yeah, I feel completely out of my element in just about every way imaginable. I'm hoping that therapy will help.

Hexbear trans posters

What standard superpower would you want? You're all trans or questioning, you all get shape shifting by default so we'll put that aside so we can give the other super powers a chance

I don't know how I want to look.

I don't know who I want to date.

I don't know how to decide when it changes every day. Every hour.

Two big fucking pendulums, gender and sexuality, both going at their own pace, almost never moving at the same time as one another.
