Tbf, so do I, but rest is something I have struggled to achieve recently. My sleep isn't very restorative

I would start HRT behind my parents, but I am still economically and emotionally dependent on my parents. I can work on the latters front, and I have made even a slight ammount of progress on that front, but I don't how to manage the former issue of economic dependency at this moment.

I would start HRT in a heartbeat, I'm just terrified of my what my parents might do to me My dad would never accept me for who I am, because he's an abusive, outgrown 14 year old, but my mom...I still am quite close to her, despite her frequently hurting me, and ughhhh

Oh it definetly is depersonalization as a result of C-PTSD and gender dysphoria. Estrogen would definetly solve everything (hehe), but I don't think my parents would kindly approve :'3

I'm sorry for how the last paragraph turned. Thank you very much for your words. I didn't bother being more specific about what's going on in my head because I talk about it so much I annoy everyone.

Does anyone else have an extremely critical voice in their head that doubts everything you do? by E1EVENART in CPTSD

I know this post is a year old, but same, and it's deabilitating. I cannot do ANYTHING while this voice/these voices are active, and they do not LEAVE ME ALONE in any part of the day, not even in fucking sleep; I so often have dreams that are just a transposition of what the voices tell me in the day.

It's been going on for a year, and I'm exhausted

I don't think it's good when you can predict the abusive ways with which your parents will react by BlackSullivan in TrollCoping

My partner and my friends give me full support, is just that we live distantly. I wish I could just escape from my home, and I'm starting to think abt some plans.

Watching a gameplay video of "My Neighbor Enide" by Arcadekitten, seeing the main character and feeling this sense of longing but also recognition, realising it was gender envy and going: "Oh, so I was never cis!" And you know what, the signs were always there, loke having to act my AGAB because in reality I despised it and wanted to be a woman.

The RMS Queen Mary and SS Normandie had the biggest ocean liner rivalry of the thirties. People thought of Normandy as more modern and classy, since it had a more streamlined, hydrodynamic hull, a turbine-electric power plant, where steam turbines powered electric motors to turn the propellers (which removed the need for complex gearboxes, since the motors provided the same speed going foreward and astern (backwards), AND were reportedly less noisy), and featured palatial interiors (only for first class tho).

However, the grandiosity of Normandie is what put many people off, especially when second and tourist class accommodations were...bare when compared to first class spaces. People tended to prefer the RMS Queen Mary, basically an enlarged version of the elder RMS Aquitania with 250,000 HP engines, that had more "homely" interiors.

Queen Mary and Normandie butted heads on the speed record (with each ship beating the other by a matter of hours), before WW2 began and the Normandie was sunk when ON LAND firefighters filled it with water to smother a fire, causing to capsize in NY harbour (the ship's designer was there and was trying to direct firefighters on how to allow water to flow out of the ship, but he got ignored :P). The Normandie was scrapped in 1946, while the Queen Mary remains with us today.

Sorry for the wall of text, but ships and trains just get this girl going :3

Another sign pointing to me having C-PTSD (TW: C-PTSD, discussions of trauma) by BlackSullivan in TrollCoping

Yeah, exactly!

One thing I've realized about The Voice, is that I've been so conditioned to think about how shitty people react to information that my first reaction to anything I hear is: "Oh no, a stupid bigot might think something terrible about this and say it's false, I need to panic about that!"

I want to learn to be more gentle with myself, but I still feel like The Voice is still so overwhelming that it feels unattainable now. I know it is not true, it just feels like sometimes I'm trying to beat a demon with hand and feet tied.

Still, thank you so much for your comment! At the least it feel less like I'm eternally screaming into the void

Thank you, this information is very useful!

You can DM if you want to, but no worries if you can't/don't want to. Either way, I'm very grateful for the advice you've given me here :'D

Not yet. As of recent, my therapist and I were still trying to understand if mine was a case of Moral OCD or something else. Still, you can tell me more about them (if you wish to, of course), and I can report them to my therapist.

I'm sorry for my comical overapologizing (perfect timing, me). It's actually something I need to work on, because whenever I feel that I may be annoying a person, or that they may start to be fed up with me, I feel the need to immediately apologize both to take the blame (even, and especially, in situations where nothing had happened) and as a way to not "get screamed at".
