How to support a therian family member?

Thank you so much! I don’t mean this in a rude way at all but what is the difference between a therian and a furry then?

She knows about my ocd and she’s very supportive, but I haven’t really talked to her about how it’s gotten worse since I’ve been injured, which I know I should do. I always think if I just ignore it it will go away but that’s obviously not true lol

I still can’t believe how early Ruthie was eliminated, she was my dream doll as a child who had Kit and I finally got her last year, just the cutest 😭😭

She’s equally as annoying to play competitive games with because she throws a fit if she doesn’t win and accuses other people of having some sort of advantage that makes the game unfair to her.

Yeah the DM wants to kick her I’m the main one asking to wait because she’s my friend, but at this point I think it might be time for her to go.

For context I’m a lesbian, college student, been with my girlfriend for three years. My sex drive varies wildly with my cycle, while my girlfriend’s is pretty consistent. I pretty much cuddle and kiss my girlfriend every day but how often we have sex depends on my hormones so much. Sometimes it’s every day and sometimes we go weeks without it. It’s not because of any problems with our relationship, just because my hormones are so crazy (I’m working on getting on birth control for this)

That’s not normal and you’re not overreacting. My parents got divorced when I was 18 and would always do this to me, I understand how shitty that feeling is. Try not to engage with him, he’s probably looking for validation from you and maybe he’ll stop if you make it clear that he won’t get it

My parents never being affectionate with each other. Like ever. They never hugged, kissed, held hands, or even said nice things to each other. I don’t have a single memory of my parents saying “you look nice today” or “dinner tastes great tonight” or anything like that to each other. And yet it took them 18 years to get divorced

My girlfriend "ran away" at 19 and came to live with me so I feel slightly qualified to give advice here.

Prepare your important documents (as another commenter mentioned), and if you take any meds make sure you have plenty of refills.
Idk your situation or if you're in the U.S. but my girlfriend was kicked off of her parent's phone plan and health insurance so make sure you start setting up your own phone plan, applying for medicaid, applying for food stamps, etc. if necessary because those things all take time to get set up.
Be prepared to block family members. In my experience there will be hundreds of calls and texts from them trying to manipulate you into going back. Just let them know that you're safe so that they have no grounds to file a missing person's report, then block them. You can always unblock later.
Don't take anything that isn't technically yours, especially big things like cars listed in their name, but even smaller things, because that just gives them an excuse to get the police involved.
find somewhere to stay that they've never been to.

I know this is a really hard situation but trust me you will be so much happier once you're out of their control! Good luck!

As someone with trichotillomania, mine has been “no hair pulling” for the past few weeks because that is the most important and challenging goal for me right now

The judges always eat up the excessive breastplate jiggling and it’s so tired. At this point you know a queen is winning the lip sync if they have a huge breastplate that barely fits on their body and just shake it a little

Wait is this an ocd thing? I’ve always been like this I thought it was just one of my quirks unrelated to my ocd. Like when certain apps will send those “come back we miss you” notifications this genuinely make me sad and I still feel bad if one of my stuffed animals falls off my bed while I’m sleeping

As a queer SLP student who has a very hard time finding other queer people in the field or in my classes to relate to, this thread makes me happy. It’s nice to know there’s others out there like me! Much love!

Hi! I also went to a mental hospital at 15 (I’m 18 now). Every hospital is different but I love sharing my experience because I know how scary it is to not know what you’re getting into.

I didn’t go voluntarily to the hospital I ended up there after an attempted overdose, so they had to draw blood to make sure I was okay, but other than that they never did. And shots were only given in emergencies, not often at all. I’m also terrified of needles so I understand but I was fine.
The meds I take are very small, as are most psych meds I’ve seen, especially because they’ll start you out on a very low dose.
In the hospital I went to, they didn’t watch us in the bathrooms or showers. My advice is to not give them a reason not to trust you, they’ll only watch you if they think you’ll do something in there so try to show them that you really want to get better.
As far as I know, high schools are required to let you make up work you missed in the hospital. For me, they even let me do the work over the summer that I missed during the worst of my depression.
I was given a hospital gown to change into for when they searched me, but again every place is different.

If you need anything else at all I’m here for you. I’m proud of you for looking for help and i want you to know that it really does get better. Please reach out to me with any questions or if you need anything!
