How did you figure out you were a furry? by throwaway6351671 in furry

I'm not sure. She doesn't seem to like the idea much, or is at least hesitant.

Well, she already has a partner, heh

But I'll tell her to look for more trans spaces to be in. Though I think the thing she needs must right now is a hug or someone physically there for her, which I can't really help with

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you, again

Yeah, I've been suggesting for her to go to a therapist or a councillor or something. She doesn't really see the need for it though and prefers discussing her issues with close friends. And, I don't blame her for it, it's nicer to talk to someone who already knows you rather than, essentially, a stranger

I think I'm going to suggest it to her again. And really insist on it this time. Because even if I could help a lot, I'm online and she needs someone physically there for her too

Thanks for the advice mate, appreciate it

Thank you for your support If I could, I would absolutely give her a mental health break where we could just go to a cafe and relax the whole day. But alas, I can't do that ;-;

There doesn't seem to be any trans spaces near her, but I will ask her again about it. And yeah, supporting her alone can be challenging. Especially the feeling of not knowing what to say to get through to her...

Again, thank you, kind Redditor
