Aww, thank you ๐ฉท
I guess this Lemmy account somehow became my personal HRT journal.
Without the fear of someone I know finding me here, I'm really much comfortable talking about some stuff.
For better or for worse...
I do enjoy posting my experiences, even the really bad ones. I hope I can at least provide useful information to someone, even just one person. Probably not, but I'm not giving up! ๐
Anyway, thank you. You're awesome!
Glad to see you feel better.
Thank you for sharing! Your bravery and honesty with yourself is inspiring! ๐ฅฐ
You are awesome no less. It's lovely how open and honest you are ๐
Brighter days after scheduled right after the bad ones.
I'm sorry to hear things didn't go well today, but glad you're here to tell everyone. And don't worry about the crying, it's just part of processing the rough stuff. Don't let anyone's lack of acceptance let you think that you're not valid or don't deserve happiness.
You are loved and we're all happy that you're here. ๐ฉต
Thank you. Honestly thank you โค๏ธ
Also...nice username. I love sushi!
You just reminded me how hungry I am, I haven't eaten anything today. I don't eat much...
I'll try to take care of myself and recover from this nightmare of a day. Thanks again, kind Sushi stranger!
Thank you for letting us know. I am so glad you are ok and I hope your days improve. You are making it through and you are stronger than you realize. Big hugs if you want them. ๐
I won't ever turn down hugs ๐ฉท
and I hope your days improve
Thank you. Me too, honestly. It feels like I exhausted my supply of bad days for the next week just today.
It really took it out of me. Especially since I was looking forward to it so much. Oh well
There will be waaay better birthday parties.
I mean, now you have the lowest bar, every birthday party after this is statistically going to be way better.
Here are the hugs. ๐ซ๐ซ๐ซ
Thank you sibling.
Hugs ๐ซ
Hell yea sibling. We're right behind you <3
๐ you are special and loved
I think your outfit looked great. Honestly it suits you and presents really feminine energy. Glad to hear you're looking to the future <3
I don't know how happy you'll be to hear this, but I think you look a lot like Ashley Gavin (I mean it in a good way, honest)
Hey, I am happy to hear that. That's quite a compliment! Thank you <3
