ive been feeling really bad about myself for the past couple months. comparing myself to cis men and all that. related to having to go off T for financial reasons, so hormone imbalance etc, but it has been really seeping in to all facets of my being. anyway, the stuff about mental illness you were reblogging yesterday really actually made me feel better and I don't follow much feel good stuff so thank you for inadvertently injecting some kindness into my depression bubble.
oh man i'm so sorry you've been going through it with bad gender feelings lately that is never a fun thing to deal with :( it's hard for it not to seep into your life when you're struggling mentally, but (yeah everyone says it but thats because its TRUE) i'm SO fucking proud of you for pushing through these rough months so you can get yourself to the happier ones ahead of you. i know how hard that shit is and it's definitely not for nothing that you're making it through right now, okay?
everyone needs reminders sometimes that they're not alone in their fight, we need those reminders that other people have dealt with these things and survived, that people are currently dealing with these things and surviving, that people will continue to do so because we're such a damn resilient group of beings!
i'm incredibly glad that i was able to bring even a little light to you in what sounds like such a hard time, you deserve more of that comfort!! i'm here to create a cozy, happy place for people who need one
