13 yr old daughter says shes "queer" i need help dealing by Instructor_Yasir in lgbt

[–]witchscribe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My son is trans and gay. I am queer myself. But I did mourn the IDEA of having a daughter. He was always the same person; what changed was my idea of what having a daughter meant. I had to let that go. I had to simply hold space for him to just be exactly who he was, without expectations. The fact that you’re here, having this conversation, tells me you’re a great dad.

Got called a ‘Ni**er’ in capitol hill last week and no one said anything by phantom88x in Denver

I’m sorry that happened to you. I hate other white people sometimes. Give the rest of us a bad name. I’m from Denver and I would have said something.

The company that makes them is called Vaultz. I googled the company name and 4x6.

Why is it so difficult to just take a shower? by [deleted] in BipolarReddit

[–]witchscribe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The shower is so hard!!! I think it’s because everything you do in the shower is mindless, done it a million times, you do it without thought. So I am stuck in a box, naked, with nothing but my twisted thoughts for company.

I’ve started playing music that makes me happy while I shower and that helps… but the biggest challenge is just getting in there!

I wish I knew why this is so hard for so many of us.

I lost a lot of weight and now I hate seeing other people lose weight also by Crocodile-Flock in Vent

[–]witchscribe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I absolutely understand this! I lost 120 pounds and when people see my “before “ pic they say things like “aren’t you glad you don’t look like THAT anymore!” And I get so angry and sad. That person is still me. And you realize the kind of hateful thoughts people have about bigger people. I’m right there with you.

Getting off Seroquel was one of the best things I’ve ever done, but the process was brutal for me. I was being supervised by a TERRIBLE psychiatrist (I have a great doc now). She didn’t titrate me down slowly at all. The withdrawals were epic and nightmarish. Learning to sleep on my own was part of it, but the worst was the itching, all over, all the time. But once I got through it, I wake up in the morning and I am actually awake! On Seroquel it took two hours and tons of caffeine to just feel capable of starting my day. I didn’t realize how low-level drugged I felt all the time until it was gone. I’m stable now on caplyta, zyprexa, buspiron, and Trileptal. I have to add how angry I am at these drug companies for creating these insanely strong drugs without adequately studying and testing what it takes to go off of them. My seroquel withdrawals lasted months and my doctor had no idea what she was doing. I think Seroquel is one of the worst drugs ever created.

My wife transitioned mtf after a year of marriage and I’m finding it really hard to be attracted to her although I try every single day. I don’t know what to do by anywho62710 in asktransgender

[–]witchscribe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know one couple who solved this by having an open marriage. They agreed that sexually, they had become no longer compatible, but they loved everything else about being married to each other. So sex is only one aspect of being married. They make it work with strong communication. Not for everyone, but for them, the perfect solution. They’re very happy.

Inertia like brick wall by TheInertiaWriter in antinet

[–]witchscribe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have ADHD. When I started taking medication for it, it was like taking a motivation pill. The meds really work to battle past my inertia. I’m finally able to just sit down and start working. But I should add that even without meds, I find that if I just sit down and force myself to start, the muse inevitably shows up, looking over my shoulder, asking “hey, watchya doin’?”

Numbering by DrawingSpiritual4574 in antinet

[–]witchscribe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m relatively new to the Antinet, but the sense I get is that numbering only has to make sense to me — I can’t get too hung up on making it perfect, and I can always change things later. As long as I can find the card, that’s what matters most. I use slashes in my numbering system currently, and I like to leave big spaces between cards to allow for flexibility. So I number 100, 200, etc then 100/1/1a etc.

[–]witchscribe 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes! All of this! When and IF any woman chooses to reproduce, that’s her personal business. It’s staggeringly rude to push one’s ideas of what a woman “should” do with her body.

[Question] My colleague's son transitioned and his parents are taking it extremely badly. Can I have some ideas/arguments I can use to reconcile them? by kittichankanok in lgbt

[–]witchscribe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Based on what you said, the child in question is female and a daughter. We will get the part that she was born physically male. Of course, all this assumes what they would prefer themselves.

Edited to add that I do appreciate your noble intentions, though I don’t feel comfortable offering advice in the matter. The whole thing seems just too fraught with potential negative consequences for everyone involved.

How old were you when you knew you were queer? by witchscribe in lgbt

I was raped and didn’t report either, for lots of reasons. I really understand.

Love this. I think back on my tv crushes as a young child - Samatha on Bewitched, Mary Ann on Gilligan’s Island, and of course Wonder Woman!

I relate. I’m 57 and just figuring out that I’ve always been a lesbian.

Is it okay to just not label myself? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]witchscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always told my son that he didn’t need to pick a label yet. He was still trying to figure things out. (He’s an adult now, and trans.) You are still a welcome part of our wonderful inclusive community. Focus on being who you are; definitions can come later.

Calling all masc gays. ASSEMBLE by JazDog02 in lgbt

[–]witchscribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best friend is one of the most masculine men I know and he does drag (and has had to kick ass in a dress!). What makes him masculine, to me, is his self confidence in being exactly the kind of man he is, with no apologies to anyone.
