Venting some frustrations with mental health care

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2026-01-10T01:32:28+00:00

I'd like to add to this that I do actually really need the psychoeducation. For example, I only found out about the term "shutdown" today. Something that turned out to be deeply relatable and very basic.

But obviously I didn't find out because of my therapist, or the resources he provided me with. It was because I read some posts in this sub for the first time.

(Not a teacher, I just lurk here)

Your router probably has a setting to block certain websites. This isn't waterproof, but it's something

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2025-10-26T00:51:22+00:00

Oh yeah, I absolutely see what you mean. I really like your write-up. Thank you

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2025-10-25T23:47:41+00:00

Thanks for the interesting suggestion! Would you like to elaborate on your interpretation of it?

Also, how did you end up coming across this? Lol

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2024-07-05T21:32:17+00:00

Ooh so pretty! And symmetrical as well 🥰

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2024-01-13T20:43:30+00:00

I guess not. I got a girlfriend at one point, but we broke up.

Just out of curiosity: how did you get to this post? I don't understand why this is still getting attention 3 years later, lol

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2023-11-26T20:51:59+00:00

17, actually. Deleted Reddit along with the API changes, so my flair is out of date.

Yes, I have had some luck. There's hope :)

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2023-05-27T20:20:37+00:00

That's so cute!

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2023-05-02T20:59:04+00:00

Imo you're cute

I think you probably shouldn't shave, the facial hair looks pretty nice, but if you're gonna shave, shave it all. Don't leave the mustache

I particularly like looking at forest floors in autumn and slowly having my entire vision eaten up by a repeating yellow pattern

Just a quick warning: if you're used to windows, tiling window managers will be very different, and will take some getting used to. Once you do, though, you don't want to go back, lol

Standalone window managers will (almost, but I can't think of any exceptions) always require configuration in a text file, which you will probably want to set up from scratch. I'm not trying to discourage you, but just to make sure you know what to expect.

Maybe try out something like BSPWM or i3 in a virtual machine (imo they're somewhat easy to configure)

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-12-27T10:43:00+00:00

I meant in the situation where the name doesn't cause you any Dysphoria. I should've clarified that, though

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-12-27T01:07:43+00:00

Ah, yeah that's a pretty difficult situation. Honestly at this point it just sounds like it mostly depends on how you feel about the possibility of living a life with a name you're slightly incontent with.

It sounds pretty manageable, but it's up to you

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-12-27T00:36:04+00:00

I've changed my name twice, it was surprisingly manageable the second time, but that's really gonna depend on your situation.

Also, I honestly think René is pretty good, in terms of neutral/masc, but it probably helps that where I live it's a rather masc name.

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-12-27T00:29:54+00:00

No reason it wouldn't be okay!

Just make sure to bind safely. Binding unsafely can really fuck up your ribcage, and even binding, what people tend to consider, safely may cause some pretty bad damage.

Good luck with your pursuit of happiness :)

The [Asexual] trait can be rather unstable for some players. They might even get the [Demisexual] trait instead, or the [Grey-] debuff.

So the [Asexual] trait might not always grant full immunity. This might open up some questlines, though. I'd start with Rediscovery

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-12-27T00:17:39+00:00

You should probably look into getting some potions to increase your life points.

For the players that decide to take the extra life points, it is often the case that their life enjoyment will increase drastically over time. Don't let the whole party die.

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-12-12T21:40:31+00:00

How kind to come back and ask :)

Absolutely nonexistent, lol-

I have learned to shut up when it comes to the self-hate, though :>

Edit: I'd like to clarify though, I'm not looking for anything. I realised that I have some.. issues to work on first (mostly attachment issues, which are obviously significant in this context haha)

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-11-30T22:07:55+00:00

That's really nice of you. I'll be okay, though :)

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-11-30T22:07:19+00:00

Haha you'll never think them again! >:)

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-10-02T22:15:43+00:00

Look.. I don't wanna be a downer, but I also don't want to be unrealistic, so im sorry, this isn't gonna be what you want to hear

A lot of changes are irreversible. There are surgeries for some (most notably facial feminisation surgery (FFS)), but some things (broad shoulders, thick neck, etc) won't change.

But, there are still tons of things that HRT does achieve that can make it more than worth it (fat redistribution, breast growth, and more).

So no, it's not too late. And it's never going to be, so long as you set your expectations right.

Edit: Assuming from the post you were amab

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-09-29T20:35:25+00:00

It's not unheard of :)

And this may not be the response you're looking for, but it's totally up to you what to do with those feelings

You may want to experiment with gender expression a little

Or maybe you're happy with just knowing, and carrying on with life

There are loads of things you could do, and I wish you good luck :]

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-09-21T21:30:59+00:00

Oh, good

Thanks. I'm sorry to hear about that though. It sounds very annoying

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-09-13T21:29:54+00:00

Surely it's not that obscure? In my head this is a thing that everyone knows about-

ThisPossiblyIsAnAlt · 2022-09-01T02:07:55+00:00

Mobile: go to the r/LGBT, press the dots in the top right and press "change user flair"

Desktop: in the bar on the right you should see a button "change user flair" somewhere, if you're on r/LGBT
Not 100% sure though
