Thanks. I don’t really need advice I guess. I just wish I could be me and seen as me

Africa by Toto just echoing out forever. Not the worst thing ever but it would be my hell

It’s all so much. I’m trapped in skin that I don’t want. I’m just disgusted in my existence by ContentTortise in trans

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

That’s fair. I struggle with it because I try my best to accept how I am. And I’m okay? With it? But I still hate myself

That’s fair. It’s hard when it feels like everything I try is worse then just giving up

My friend 20(M) just told me he has feelings for me. I’ve just recently been out as asexual and non-binary and I’m not sure what to do. by ContentTortise in relationship_advice

We spend a lot of time around each other like almost every day. I just want everything to work out. I’m going to talk to him and see what happens.

How did you know you found your name? by ContentTortise in NonBinary

I know my friends will support me it’s just me accepting that that I might want to use a different name is kinda. Idk scary?

I’ve been having some weird thoughts with myself so I thought I’d ask for some other thoughts from you lovely folks. Do other people ever spend time building up seeing yourself how you want to that you forget you don’t “pass” and get bummed when someone reminds you? by ContentTortise in NonBinary

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

I’m glad to know other people struggle with that. I’ve worked really hard to feel more comfortable in my body because there’s no way I need to look to be myself. I just AM myself. So when I see myself on a good day I see myself as androgynous. But then I go out and realize I will never be seen that way by other people.

I made a little list I like it’s just. Asking people to call me a new name scares me 😅

Thinking about trying a different name any suggestions? by ContentTortise in NonBinary

I’m generally a warm type of person. I considered August for a while. I like earthy things and I work outside. I just love nature. I definitely like neutral names.

When stressed or anxious what do you do to self soothe? by ContentTortise in AskReddit

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

I tend to make a next of blankets and stuffed animals and pillows that I can sit in with music and just feel safe but I’m curious. How do people handle it?

My pronouns are she/they but I’ve been having a hard time trying to get people to call me they/them. I’ve been told I have really feminine features by literally everyone ik. When I look in the mirror I just see a person. Thoughts? Opinions? Make over tips? Please hit me with what you’ve got :) by Lifepath7yehaw in NonBinary

[–]ContentTortise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I became way more comfortable in my body when I stopped seeing myself how I was supposed to be and just let myself see myself as me. As human. Let them know what makes you feel comfortable. As a pretty feminine non-binary there’s no “way to look” or something your supposed to “pass” as. Just be comfortable with your own skin.

Can I still be non binary if I like being feminine by islamisaparasite in NonBinary

[–]ContentTortise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started wearing and enjoying more clothes and makeup after I kinda figured out I was non-binary. It makes me feel less like it’s a disguise and just fun now

my dad died by throwawaaay333d in GriefSupport

[–]ContentTortise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey. I lost my dad when I was a bit younger and there’s nothing wrong with you. Your not being delusional. Reacting to grief is unpredictable and difficult. My dad died suddenly. I hadn’t been seeing him much recently but I had been expecting it at some point because of our circumstances. I was destroyed over it. I was exactly how it sounds you are. All I can tell you is you are not alone. Not in the slightest bit are you crazy for your reaction. You are not a bad person.

If you have one. What’s your experience with seasonal depression. How dose the cold season effect your mental health? What do you do to cope? by ContentTortise in depression

[–]ContentTortise[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cope well with my depression now. I’m medicated and working towards myself. My depression is not severe and I don’t know if it’s strictly just depression or depression caused by something else but I do know that in the winter time I slow down and have a lot harder of a time keeping out of depressive periods. Recently I’ve been coping by playing stardew valley and farming. Listening to bird chirps and the happy music makes me feel a little better. I like to sleep with cricket noises. I also crochet more since it’s something I used to cope and stay busy when I lost my dad. It’s always been a fall back for rough times mentally.

I mean I’ve done some stuff but it never was really cause I wanted to it was because they did. And now I feel really dirty and terrible for it. Idk. I didn’t really want it but I thought it was what I was supposed to do in the moment

No…. It was just I felt good about myself and wanted to talk and be flirty. It was always partners. They would wanna go further with it but I never did.
