As icing on the cake, my best friend of 7 years who is also trans told their family I was trans, and now, they aren’t allowed to hang out at my house anymore. I mean we’re 21, so I guess we can still talk and shit bc they can’t control that, but it just fucking sucks. I have one friend who is left who is in Spain, but I’ve lowkey been intentionally pushing them away for a year now because well I’m diagnosed borderline, and they, being the saint they are, have stuck by me.

I don’t know if it’s any help either but I come from a fanbase that puts its energy towards art. Instead of SH or attempting, they channel that into what they create. It doesn’t have to be as good as Van Gogh or something, but you can doodle, draw, or paint how you feel right now. You can even take an abstract approach.

And I’m just coming back from an attempt. I’m in college and no source of income until I potentially start an internship this summer if I get it. I am trying to take accountability for my shit and be healthier, but I feel like the world is laughing at me right now. Could just use some encouragement that it gets better.
