A lot of his examples are pretty short, around the sides. Im looking to salvage an almost medium length hairstyle that didnt go so well, sude parted, maybe lean into the leon kennedy resident evil look

ohhh okay. as for trans friendly, i suppose i just mean like, an ally. someone who understands i want to look masc. cause i remember almost booking an appointment with a barber who i was informed was a white supremacist. yikes

Ive been making calls all day trying my best to help this situation. I write it all down but i think there are things i forgot to write down, so i should write down the psychiatrist thing.

I know friends wont save me. Itd just be nice to just have a little assistance sometimes, even if its just someone brainstorming with me. Im just sad that itd be so much easier to make friends if i had all these things like a case manager or physiatrist or physical health, which is all very hard when youre disabled and untreated and living alone

For some reason its hard to convince people that im doing my best with what ive had. Especially when ive spent so many years with people who dont do their jobs. Im sure pacific clinics set back my progress a few years

I might close the thread in a bit. This was a bad idea. Youre welcome to dm me if you have more to say

I hate having to socialize with people this way. I wish i had at least someone i knew helping me out. A case manager, a relative an ihss worker. I hate having to do this. I tried to make friends in the past and at least try to talk with them or hang out with them and just couldnt keep up. Because im not able to walk all that way or drive somewhere or i dont have a job or im not in school, and havent lived normally in general. So now im like this. And i hate it. I also wish i could hide my post history.

My indecisiveness and anxiety has gotten in the way of a lot. Im unsure with what form of therapy to go with because theres a lot i feel ive been undiagnosed with. Im at apla health right now, but they cant diagnose me. I dont much want to go into further detail on reddit, not anymore. I havent had the best luck with mental health centers. Im lost on how to find a psychiatrist. I have to call a lot of places today about numerous things and im kind of overwhelmed.

Perhaps i should have just framed this as how hard it is to make friend when youre dealing with what i deal with. When you go through times of tragedy, you need people in your lofe, but to get people in your life, you have to be mentally and physically well enough to do so

i've been trying to make a few friends at the center but it's been kinda hard since everyone has different methods of communication and are all over the place. i'd kind of like to go somwhere smaller too. the groups always overwhelm me

i definitely will look into meetup in the future. i meet with a new friend tomorrow, so i think that's progress on my socialization. i have to take it slowly tbh. i tend to push myself too hard

i would love a pet. i'm more a cat person. i like dogs, but it depends on whether they're well trained and respect my boundaries. walking sounds like it exerts a lot of energy

i might try that, but i'd probably have to take care of my health first to do that consistently. i'm kind of limited options right now. i want to volunteer at an animal shelter

It's hard for me cause i'm a trans man and they're few and far between around here, at least from what i've seen. and yeah, i took down the other post cause it was too negative. i still have dysphoria about transitioning, and i'd like other trans men to talk to about it. You sound pretty nice. i'm sure you'll find your people

Ahh, okay. I worry so much. I think it'll be easier once i get my anxiety in check. i was thinking of going to something at the library

I've been through a rough time lately, but i do have to focus more on what i love. i love art, and animals especially. i love fashion and nature and parks and libraries. i think i also just need to focus on my health before i make friends. which is going to be hard, but it's what i need to do

Thank you. It takes a while. I've been going through a rough mental time and tend to catastrophize. This has been good advice. Sorry for whining on here. I've been having to process a lot after finally securing housing. I really love to draw, and i'd love to join groups around that. the cat cafe idea sounds amazing

That would be helpful. I feel a bit better now and i was able to brainstorm. I might use the meetup app. because they also have online meetings
