I’ve actually spoken about this with three people I’ve ever trusted the most. They laughed. Every day, I grow more distant from myself since I can’t be who I’m meant to be. My acute, social anxiety and manic depression gets in the way. PTSD. I’m in outpatient for sobriety right now and my therapist keeps pushing me to open up but it’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I think about all the homophobic things that have been done to me just for hanging out with one girl. I just want to be myself. which falls into my self image. in the gay community, they throw me to the side. Too fem, you just want attention, you don’t deserve anything, my own sister hates the idea of me, my mom thinks im
joking, and other sister the same. What should i do? my anxiety is beyond and i just want to live the life i’ve craved and been taken away from for years. helppp
