    Yeah! Honestly going somewhere a little away from where i live does help. I think my biggest issue is people who know of me be4 but dont actually know me if that makes sense (think cashiers and the like). It doesnt even make sense to me why i would care at all but those people scare me the most. Its stupid lol

    That and my ex. To come out to her would be catastrophically terrifying. I think i might actually have a heart attack if/when that happens lol

    Edit: forgot love you too girl! You the best as always ❤️

    Its been rough but its my own doing. Im so anxious about coming out and its been hard to deal with this week. Also been doubting myself alot, my brain has a way of cutting deep. This week it was trying to convince me that im fake, like i get these extra rough feelings being a “cis straight white male” before that that voice tries to tell me i just want a group to belong too. That im not really this and just looking to be a minority or my own story of oppression.

    Its awful, awful ,awful stuff to think about, i hate it. But i also know its not the truth. Decades of these feelings, noone could ever convince me that its not what it is.

    Also, might be the only one, but i HATE the idea of coming out to everyone. I feel like if you come over to my place often enough then sure ill have a talk with you. But if i hardly see you? Naw youll find out whenever you see me, im not putting myself through the anxiety and pressure of coming out to absolutely everyone lol

    So meh week, some good, mostly bad. Still here still kicking still love you all! Nobody is allowed to Leave i want you all right here where you belong 🥰

    It really depends on where you are geographically, but here in oregon its pretty quick from lifeworks, and we have a decent emergency mental health hotline thingy. But its def not this easy everywhere, and also depending on insurance and money.

    If you get public assistance (SNAP or ACA/medicare etc) then a great place to start asking for affordable or insurance covered therapy is at your local DHS (department of human services, not the other fascist one(fuck ICE)) ask them, they should have a resource book available for you to take and browse through.

    Thats where id start, wishing you lots of luck!

    Facial hair is the biggest PITA, check out past posts on here or reddit about this, you might get some helpful advice!

    Hair creams and waxing hasnt worked for me, im gonna try this sugar paste wax stuff my partner recommended. But as a baseline i use a safety razor with good blades (still trying to find the best ones), a thicker or more lubricating shave cream/soap is very helpful. I start normal, with the grain and all, then 2 more passes; once sideways somewhat with grain, then last pass AGAINST grain. This gets me the closest shave i can muster currently lol.

    Also, dont use a ton of pressure, and cream choice is super important. If you do 3 pass, your skin will hate you if you dont use a good cream/soap!

    Good luck to you with your journey! Maybe youll learn something i dont know and teach me one day 😁
