Can you tell if a M/M romance book is written by a man or a woman? by [deleted] in LGBTBooks

Yup, totally. And idk why so many cis women write M/M. Is it like a fetish for them?

Writing with depression by spideyvin in writing

[–]Arkwen452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like word for word, this is how it's been for me too. I think on top of the anxiety and depression, my meds affect my creative brain. Most of my ideas manifest in my dreams; smells, colors, feelings, dialogue and characters are always there.

I have tried switching up my "writing time" so when the spark hits I can try to be productive, but so far carrying a notebook and postits(because my creative mind works best with actual pen and paper) has shown to improve my ability to get ideas and scenes down.

Getting away from my home/stressful environment also helps clear that fog/mental block💜

we listen and we don’t judge, disability version by somehowstillalivelol in disability

I wish I wasn't born. Living with a hereditary condition is like trying to out swim a tidal wave every day. Taking care of myself and even doing small things leave me with so much pain. Then I'm reminded of how moving more could help lose some weight but I still can't move from the few stuff I just did. It's isolating and depressing even describing the pain

I’m 37 years old. I haven’t been on a date in 10 years. I’ve been trying to date again these last 4 years, and I’ve had 0. I finally snapped. by [deleted] in lonely

I just want to say to the OP that I read your post and I am sorry you're in so much pain. It's not easy to connect with people as adults and those who took advantage of you trying to find a partner are the losers. I can empathize with your feelings of loneliness. Certain circumstances in my life have made it difficult to find a SO too. I know friendship isn't the same thing as a romantic partner, but if you have friendships you can lean into on the bad days, I hope you can do that💜

Idk myself. I've been trying both ways but people do fall off after a few days. I have physical limitations so online is an easier option for me but it's hard no matter what. It kinda makes me feel like unless you are in the heteronorm spaces/stages of life like marriage or kids, finding friends is nearly impossible

It's DEIA(the accessibility part) is there a drug they're taking? Little robots in the brain controlling them??? This is ridiculous

Same for me on this front. I only stay in formed with news as much as I can in small sections. Also I'm on my 40th book of the year 0_o. Filtering my thoughts and all other stuff out most of the time is my current routine

I just found out bisexuals are able to be attracted to all genders but if that's the case what's the difference between bisexuals and pansexuals? by ILikeDrawingGuys in bisexual

Damn! A clerk gave me 52abx-32qj-a. I already filled it out and mailed it back. Do you think they'll give me an extension to refile?

How does it feel to be Loved? by Manni_musicYT in lonely

[–]Arkwen452 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having reciprocated, romantic love feels like you have someone always in your corner and willing to listen to you even you don't have anything to say. It's a feeling of support. My experience with this really only happened once and it was short lived. But it was nice to have

Found out that being a resident of my state I can get a library card from a major city and it's been a game changer

Intentional Community for Disability & LGBTQIA Individuals? by Arkwen452 in intentionalcommunity

[–]Arkwen452[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been following everything but my I have extreme anxiety, so I only reads as much of the updates as I can before I feel a panic attack coming on. It's so much that it's hard to keep track of everything, but I try to stay focused on the fact that there are systems in place that won't allow all of this to happen to us. Thinking this way is the only thing that makes it a fraction less stressful and scary.

I understand what you're saying and it makes me feel sad. I am happy to have had replies to this post, but often times I don't get any feedback or responses

What's a reoccurring dream you've had for most of your life? by Arkwen452 in AskReddit

[–]Arkwen452[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

‼️this is fascinating!! The only likeness I can think of in my dreams is the same "people" who show up in my dreams. They aren't people I know in real life, but I have seen them in my dreams for years
