...See more It's taken a long time, but I've only come to fully accept myself in the last few years. Just this year I joined an lgbt group in my area. I've noticed though that I have a really bad habit of trauma dumping on folks. I don't want to do that, but I don't know how to stop myself.
Bigoted family

...See more Hi I'm Rae. I'm biromantic asexual and trans. I'm closeted with my family because they are very bigoted. They say a lot of very hurtful things about the lgbt community and its tough to be around them. I want to go low contact but I love my niece and nephews and don't want to cut them out too. Plus, we live in the same town and I'm renting a house from one of them. Does anyone have any tips for dealing with hurtful family members besides going full no contact?

...See more I'm suddenly struggling with dysphagia. I have an appointment with a doctor soon to look into it. But it's upended my life. I'm feeling very alone and hopeless. Every day is a struggle now.

...See more I've really struggled with intrusive thoughts and compulsive behavior lately. For example, I normally take a walk everyday sometimes multiple times a day for both physical and mental health. This time of year I enjoy stepping on leaves and hearing a crunch. It started as something fun and relaxing but now I feel I *have* to crunch every leaf I cross paths with or it stresses me out not to but it also gives me stress to feel pressured into doing it so I'm just always anxious.
