  • My initial comment was directly responding to you asking for help. Since I don’t know any better way to help you I went to advice. My intention was share to the basics of what helped me regain some stability in my life, whereas I think I came across as cold/fake. I wasn’t trying to minimize or suggest that you are supposed to be “fixed”, I wanted to make sure I covered all bases for what I thought were impactful when experiencing anxiety/depression/abuse. I mentioned hobbies, friends, social safety net, online or local resources, groups, and professional.

    I was working under the assumption that you had no resources because I thought it would be the best way to respond quickly without waiting to ask questions like “do you have a therapist?” I get that it is annoying to get the similar redundant advice. I didn’t read the full comment section because my anxiety started spiking. I am sorry that I contributed to that.

    The way I deal with abuse is to harden my shell and make sure to reduce any chances of getting hurt. Avoidance to the max. I sucks to feel hurt, but it is impossible to avoid it all.

    My words were sincerely my attempt at advice. What drove me to respond in the first place was reading the spoilered-out intrusive thought. I literally went, “how am I reading my own intrusive thought from someone else entirely?”

    My comment advice was just what has personal helped me deal with SH ideations. I don’t know a way to stop bigotry. It hurts to be invalidated and othered. I recommend building a stronger emotional buffer, do things that bring you satisfaction. I wouldn’t be able to deal with existing if it wasn’t for my hobbies. I have terrible self-esteem, so i find that doing things that make me feel intelligent, or self-confident, decrease the risk of getting super drained and SHing.

    The best thing you can do is find a therapist that specializes with genderqueer people. Also, get a good psychiatrist and start finding the medicine that works for you. Find professionals who value your opinion and give them a good idea of your symptoms.

    If you can’t afford healthcare, find see if there are any local lower-income therapists, or look for free resources through the internet like a “self-harm hotline”. Look for lgbtq groups, preferably local but online is good too. Build a safety social safety net.

    Please stay safe! I maybe a random person, but to me you are my internet neighbor. I like to see my neighbors in good health.
