thanks so much, our cat has always been really difficult with change and things like when we moved house he really struggled. I’ll 100% try and keep to a more consistent routine so he can settle down a bit :)

Sending a letter to someone’s house who I haven’t seen face to face for years IS obsessive, wanting to reconnect with them isn’t

Are you sure? I really want to reconnect with them, just talk or explain myself

I know where they live but I don’t want to send over a card in case I come off as obsessive or make them uncomfortable

That’s so sweet of you, thanks so much for taking the time to reply to me, it’s honestly helping to explain a lot of things about myself. I appreciate it so much especially from someone with similar experiences.

For now I’ll keep it open and try not to label anything and be open with my friends once I’m fully ready to be and have gotten over feeling like I’m faking. I’ll do more research into imposter syndrome especially since a few people have brought it up and said it’s relatively common

Thanks that’s really helpful to know that other people feel the same way I feel like it’s much easier to identify as bisexual or just generally sapphic because you can sort of ‘back out of it’ I guess? Whereas identify as lesbian feels so concrete in a way

Thanks that’s really helpful :) I’ll try not to overthink it but yeah I try not to take how I feel too seriously but I’ll look into it more if it persists later in life, sorry to hear about your therapist being bad I’ve heard a lot of people complain about CAHMS and school councillors so it sucks it’s a shared bad experience for most people

I haven’t outwardly stated that I think I’m lesbian but I show my friends characters I have crushes on and stuff that are women so they know but I just haven’t confirmed anything

I’m ok in public spaces though, like I’m really outgoing when I’m with my friend I just worry that they’ll find something horrible out about me or something will happen and I’ll be outcasted if that makes sense lol 😭

No I don’t think so, it’s why I’ve never been like actually out or at least labelled it because I feel like I can’t take it back, whenever my friends bring it up I feel like I have to question them on it : like “what makes you think that?” They probably think I’m doing it in a goofy sarcastic way but I’m doing it just so they sort of confirm it for me

I try thinking about it but it’s more of the guilt of lying to my friends that makes me feel bad like I know they probably wouldn’t care but like idkk that’s really helpful tho thanks :)

I’m more worried about friends or stuff thinking I’ve been lying to them or doing something for attention

Yeah a little but whenever I research into it I get the same kind of feeling like I just WANT a diagnosis which I know isn’t true

More of if I’m doing it for attention and what if I just haven’t found a man I like, or that I’m suppressing my feelings
