I’m 30, transfem, and to be quite honest, I feel my will to live slowly slipping away. I’m trying to find the willpower to finish my PhD thesis and to get into a better living situation after that, but I find myself frozen and wanting to curl up into a tiny ball of nothingness instead. And there are LOTS of reasons for that, mostly centered around trauma, guilt, and shame.
I don’t think I can fit everything I need to say in a succinct post, so if it isn’t against the rules, would any of you fellow girlies be willing to shoot me a DM and give some advice? I don’t think I can really explain without having a back-and-forth conversation… thanks in advance. 🏳️⚧️💜
Do you really want to be outlived by MITCH FUCKING MCCONNELL? You can do this. Persist on spite alone if need be. Join the fight for our freedom. Those with nothing else to lose make the most ardent fighters.
But more than that, joining those groups will put you around others like you, build community. Best cure for depression. I know you don’t want to do any of that. It’s much easier to just die. I get it. I really, really do.
Don’t give your enemies the satisfaction.
