i come from a similar place, and while I’ve been on my own for 10 years now, the crushing grief of my lost childhood has only intensified. now, the whole country i live in is trying to force me back into the same life i struggled SO HARD to escape

I’m also severely depressed and have a painful disability that i have to work through at a manual labor job. all i want, all i need, is rest. but i will probably die working, and so i grieve for my past as well as my future.

sometimes it feels like i will never truly live, and that’s incredibly painful to deal with. dont listen to people telling you to stop being bitter, i know it isnt like that at all.

try to find an understanding community, as well as a trauma-informed (very important) therapist. you may never get rid of the trauma, but hopefully find ways to cope.

I posted under a comment by accident lol

My chevy cruze. Biggest dumpster fire on wheels ive ever owned. DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE.

I have an ex who is like you, and i love that about him, it is one of his most attractive qualities… we are still besties but didnt work out due to me figuring out my identity as primarily being attracted to femme people (yes i think thats why i loved him so much lol) but he was not into presenting that way. Also i was becoming more and more masc and he’s straight.

Now that i think about it, this might be the opposite of encouraging lmao…hopefully mine was just a fringe case, but honestly the only reason i would ever choose to do it differently if i could, would be because he would have those ywars back to find the right person. I don’t regret the relationship and he’s one of my dearest friends.

Anyyway, im high as fuck and im gonna go watch tv with my girl. Lol

I only have one piece of advice from my experiences: be your authentic self and dont be afraid to open yourself to others. If you do, the right people tend to just show up. its honestly magical. Good luck to you. :)

Is there a baby animal sub i can join?? I need this in my life

those aren’t options for everyone.

maybe i got lucky, but my psychiatrist is private practice, and she lets me skip every other month and i just text to remind her to fill my meds. she’s great.

oh, and offered to see me quarterly because she is encouraging me to find a therapist and i told her my budget is too tight to add another bill.

…yeah, i think i got lucky.

the absolute WORST thing I’ve ever had to clean up was dog vomit that was full of cat shit litter. and I’ve been a public school custodian for almost a decade. lol

I’m 30 and this is the first I’ve ever heard about this. my southern Baptist homeschool curriculum told me that his teeth were made of wood and it was never something i thought to fact check as an adult.

gotta love homeschooling 🙄

this sucks, I’m sorry you’re going through it. i tend to tell people I’m autistic if i feel like i might be misunderstood, hoping that it’ll give them more understanding of me. but I’m learning that some people just don’t know how to handle that information respectfully.

one time years ago i paid for the guy behind me at McDonald’s. he then proceeded to follow me all the way home to thank me. i haven’t done it again. lpt: if someone does that for you, just fuckin pay it forward so you don’t scare the crap out of a 21 year old.

now I’m a school custodian and i go out of my way in little ways, like watering/turning plants in the classrooms, etc. I’m not sure if they notice but it makes me feel good ☺️

i would believe this if they hadn’t literally taken it away. it’s about oppression, simple as.

i know people are uncomfortable hearing this, but i am the same way. I’m already barely making it to work most days due to disability, i would probably literally get worked to death anyway. might as well spare them some satisfaction.

the thin plucked eyebrows (2000s)… I’m now trans masc and wish i had them back lol

you can find plans for $15/mo. it’s not unreasonable for homeless people today to have a cell phone. even homies in prison have tiktoks.

there’s a show about this. Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell. hilarious and underrated

we loved watching this with our kid, we were so upset it got cancelled 😭

man i used to love supernatural but had to finally stop trying at season 7. the show just felt like they ran out of ideas and it was painful to watch. I’ve never finished it

how can this possibly be a good investment? genuinely confused, i didn’t think this franchise still had much of a fanbase
