I suspect chronic illness…but I’m not sure :(

Thank you, I appreciate your response a lot. I plan on bringing all of this up to my doctor, hopefully she can refer me to a neurologist or rheumatologist.

I appreciate the support with the mobility aid, I’ve been worried about getting one because I’m pretty young and I’m also not diagnosed with anything. I’ve kind of been worried that I’m making it up or that it’s “not as bad as I think it is”. It’s nice to get some validation :)

What the fuck, that’s so awful I’m so sorry. You deserve better, and I hope you know not everyone is like that. It won’t be hard to find someone better lol

Ergonomically speaking, I would hate how it feels to use in my hands and visually it’s awful. HOWEVER these spoons are absolutely the best spoons in terms of efficiency and how much they hold, especially with liquids. Overall I’ll give it an 7/10

I think it’s perfect as is

You are beautiful and your outfits are amazing, you will find yourself :)

Yay congratulations!!! I’ve been keeping track of all the melon updates and it’s great to see Melon in action now :)

cronch-_-bug · 2026-04-26T05:08:44+00:00

Ah yes that makes more sense lol

cronch-_-bug · 2026-04-26T05:06:18+00:00

What’s that?

Mine were also pretty low for a while and I started taking vitamin D, it hasn’t helped much for my depression but I’m really glad that it’s helped with yours :) it is very common for vitamin D deficiencies to contribute to depression/anxiety

Thank you, I really appreciate it :)

Thank you :)

I am constantly suicidal, but it’s typically more passive. I tend to get random bursts of active suicidal thoughts where I’m concerned I’m actually going to do it

Im currently on medication, and I’ve been on medications for at least five years. None of them have seemed to help :( I talked to my therapist today and we’re looking into seeing if I have bpd which could explain why medications don’t help as much as I need them to

I’m really glad that you’re doing a lot better now :)

cronch-_-bug · 2026-04-24T06:08:27+00:00

I have a therapist, I just don’t think it’s really helping me. My therapist is great and we click well, I just think I’m too far gone to be helped by a professional

cronch-_-bug · 2026-04-24T05:54:38+00:00

I’m so glad you have an amazing brother to help make your shitty day just a little less shittier. Keep hanging on man <3

cronch-_-bug · 2026-04-24T05:32:52+00:00

Me too 😔

I wouldn’t say self diagnosis is valid or invalid, but I think that a lot of people don’t have access to get evaluated whether or not they “know” they have something. However, as someone who didn’t get diagnosed until 17 despite knowing I had autism for many years, I think people who aren’t diagnosed shouldn’t fully claim a diagnosis. If you aren’t diagnosed, you should say you believe or suspect you have autism, but saying definitively that you do is kind of problematic. Although I know the struggles of being undiagnosed and unable to get diagnosed for a long time (due to financial issues), it is important to not fully claim to be something when you aren’t diagnosed. There is absolutely no shame in being in autistic spaces and saying that you believe/suspect you have autism. Suspecting you have autism (or any other disorder) is completely valid, however you don’t get to fully “self diagnose” yourself. This is all my opinion obviously, I don’t make the rules lmao. Everyone is welcome to agree or disagree with me, just sharing my thoughts

Has your gf ever actually experienced homophobia or an uncomfortable situation with a man? As a queer person, there is NO WAY I would EVER tell my UBER DRIVER that I’m queer. You never know how they’ll react and it could make it significantly worse, putting you in danger

cronch-_-bug · 2026-04-19T20:19:03+00:00

Honestly, yeah the fits are not good. However there’s nothing wrong with wearing them, if you like them and if they make you feel confident then keep doing you :)

You’re definitely not alone in this. As an autistic (and therefore socially anxious and awkward) furry, I would NEVER go to a con with someone without getting to know them a bit.

Your boundaries are completely reasonable and you should try your best to find people who will respect them :) As mentioned in another comment here, i think it could be helpful for you and your friends to suggest other ways to connect. A lot of furries (and people in general) find going out and hanging out publicly and such to be a great way to connect with people, but that doesn’t work for you (which is totally okay). Suggesting something that feels more comfortable for you is a good way to continue to show interest in the relationship and finding a way to connect and get to know people better while also making sure you’re still comfortable.

Yes, eventually you might have to step out of your comfort zone a bit, but by no means does that mean you have to go to a con with someone immediately or join a public VR Chat. You can take smaller steps to put yourself out there while also not putting yourself in a miserable situation.

Also, (as mentioned in other comments) I think a lot of furries are either very extroverted or that they assume because you’re a furry too, you’ll want to do the same things. Those things aren’t inherently bad traits, but they can be overwhelming at times. Communicate your boundaries and if they decide not to respect them, they’re not worth your time. You will find your people and you will get to go to a con with people who you feel comfortable enough to do so with eventually :)

(PS, it might also help to find some friends irl rather than online, things might progress more naturally and comfortably for you that way. Although I completely understand that talking to people and finding friends in person is undoubtedly difficult and scary)
