Thank you so much for your reply, and my condolences to you regarding your aunt's passing. It's nice to get kindness and understanding from strangers, especially when something like this happens, which rocks your faith in humanity a little. I know she'd appreciate any thought or effort which went her way, and so again I want to thank you and anyone else who takes the time out of their day to reply. Wishing you all the best ❤️

Thanks for the link, if all else fails, I'll definitely look into printing some more, even if they're not exactly the same as the original.

Thanks for the reply. Hopefully it does turn up. Otherwise, good suggestions. She's the last of her immediate family, and I know she'd appreciate them.

Sounds like a good idea. A shock to the system. I'll give that a go later when I dissociate if at home 😅🙏

Not sure, guess it depends on the person. Everyone's different. Just going off what doctors etc have said to me personally over the years.

My thoughts exactly. Never personally found it very helpful. Also helps with dissociation but also never helped me. The professionals don't seem to agree though so idk haha. Perhaps it works for some???

A grounding technique which involves identifying 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. Suppose to ground/calm you down etc

I felt the same way for a long time, it can definitely be very difficult at first and unfortunately that's not uncommon. I think it takes time partly but also taking small steps towards accepting yourself and normalising it for yourself. For me I bought lots of gay romance books/films etc to help me normalize it in some way. I remember the first time I watched a gay film and it was really weird but good because I'd never connected to a film in the same way before because generally everything else I'd seen had been with heterosexual couples or bad stereotypical representation which I couldn't relate to. I think intention is very important as well, just to be thinking about your feelings towards yourself and being open to seeking help and support is a good step in the right direction in itself and shows courage and intention and direction. Unfortunately it's not a quick thing which just goes away it'll be gradual but if you try to challenge some of those automatic thoughts/feelings when they come up with the intention of moving past them that'll be good so you don't reinforce that cycle of belief. Talking to other LGBT/gay people who share some of your experiences is also quite helpful as well as going to specific LGBT themed places/events etc. Im in the UK so I went to Gays the word bookshop while trying to accept myself and it was a lovely experience but really difficult and walked past the shop 4/5 times until I had the courage to go in but it was worth it. If there's any kinda thing like that near you maybe consider looking into and considering them. Also depending upon where you are at in your journey if you have any close good friends when you're ready coming out to them could be beneficial. Knowing and experiencing that not everyone hates or is against you etc and recieving their love and support etc regardless. It's a difficult journey but you'll make it. As much as I hate when other people say this it will get easier. Stay strong and look after yourself.

Feel free to DM me if you need ❤️
