I’m 30, transfem, and to be quite honest, I feel my will to live slowly slipping away. I’m trying to find the willpower to finish my PhD thesis and to get into a better living situation after that, but I find myself frozen and wanting to curl up into a tiny ball of nothingness instead. And there are LOTS of reasons for that, mostly centered around trauma, guilt, and shame.

I don’t think I can fit everything I need to say in a succinct post, so if it isn’t against the rules, would any of you fellow girlies be willing to shoot me a DM and give some advice? I don’t think I can really explain without having a back-and-forth conversation… thanks in advance. 🏳️‍⚧️💜

    Hi, closeted trans girl here… just wanted to say that I really hope you keep going - because I want to come out into a world with people like you, who carried the same weight as me and still made it to age 30 and beyond. That’s something I can only imagine in my best moments, so frankly you’re already my hero just for making it that far <3

    I’m not DMing because I doubt I have much more to offer than my words here, but if you send me one I’ll probably get over myself and reply anyway :3 (may take a few days though, I’m the snail-mail type)
