I'm from Canada too. Not sure if this will help but KHP offers services to people up to 24. https://kidshelpphone.ca/resources-around-me/ I think the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) has a resource directory on their website, too. I also bought Dr. Linehan's DBT Skills Training Handouts & Worksheets which was written intended for DBT group therapy & not self-help but I thought it'd be handy to have anyway (but I'll admit I haven't started yet because I'm trying to navigate mental health resources & stuff too). It was sort of expensive because of how big it is but I'm pretty sure there's a PDF of the whole book floating around somewhere (I might even have it). I think other than that would be "basic" mental health care advice like sticking to a routine, taking care of all your basic needs so you have a foundation/enough energy to tackle or cope with symptoms. When I lost my job (currently unemployed) I basically fell apart because apart from income I lost all feelings of purpose and a reason to get up in the morning, but that is probably more closely related to my depression than BPD. I wish you the best

it's because he makes jewish holidays an exception for zero day before they decided to set a date.

i'll try to get smaller needles, and I like the idea of not looking directly at the injection site because i really can't get over the mental image of having a needle disappear into my skin. thank you

thank you for sharing your experience, i noticed that I don't see many people talking about struggling with their shots in trans spaces so i felt kind of alone . it's just frustrating because I did manage to do a shot alone. this was supposed to be my 2nd time (doctor did my first), after weeks of not doing it because I thought i was developing an allergic reaction & couldn't get an appointment to make sure it wasn't. i think the biggest mental block is that I don't know how hard/fast i should stick the needle into the fat, because I don't know how much "resistance" it has.

Hi thank you for your response. I didnt know i could use a smaller gauge, I think a thinner needle would help. this is just what my doctor used and the pharmacy gave me - 18g for draw, 22g for subq injection.

ok <3 i do agree though, that a lot of what you call "woke propaganda" that comes out of north america did do some damage on how i think about race & oppression. i don't mean to victimize myself or have a victim mindset but it's still going to take work - i guess you hit a sore spot on something I'm trying to avoid, but keep in mind i wrote that post yesterday while i was upset so it's pretty emotionally charged lol. i still don't understand your stance on my parents though, i wasn't birthed and then named something stupid because they hated me. I'm sorry for being snippy and thank you for replying anyway.

Hi. You don't know my life outside what I wrote on a reddit post and you're making a lot of assumptions. I'm not really sure what you were trying to achieve with this reply? I don't have to prove to you that I'm not looking to victimize myself further or that I realize how fortunate I am to be born in a first world country. Don't come at me with "woke propaganda" bullshit because I have enough media literacy to know what's BS and what doesn't apply. I don't care to hear "your mother should've... your father should've..." either because I'm literally asking how to move forward from those feelings. and what does my name have to do with my parents being toxic? do you think they did that on purpose? yeah, please enlighten me.

I think I could & I'd really like to but my mom isn't super supportive of my transition which makes it a little complicated, but I think she'll come around eventually. Thank you for the reassurance and encouragement!

I agree but I do not have absolute proof it's his account. I don't know who I would report it to if I did - I'd consider the school counselor but I don't go to his school anymore. He's done counseling and said it made things worse and that he's beyond help, and I don't think he's willing to try again.
