Transgender Trainwreck
Sorry if a thread like this already exists, but I figured since we're stuck in quarantine those of us with mental health issues could use a bit of support. So just start by telling us your diagnosis, what's bothering you, and what you're doing to cope with everything. Who knows? Maybe someone will suggest a healthy coping mechanism. I'll go first.
Okay, so I have bpd, major depressive disorder with psychotic features, social anxiety, and PTSD. I'm kinda having a hard time coping with the quarantine because I'm a shut-in because I'm trans and live in a bad neighborhood (I live down the street from a men's shelter full of ex-convicts). I'm currently not speaking to the one friend that actually lives in the same city as me because he was badmouthing my little sis and I'm the only one who is allowed to do that. Also I'm supposed to be doing phone sessions with my therapists and workers, but my therapist forgot about me twice this week, so not feeling too great about that. And, finally, the last thing is that I applied to a four year college because I got GED last year, and I'm going nuts waiting to hear back from them.
Um, I've been coping by using social media and the internet, and playing ACNH and reading books to keep me busy.
Anyone else care to share what they've been going through lately?
