sadJust this low hanging fog over life today. I feel like an observer. Lots of dysphoria and envy. I just wish I looked different, had different clothes. It's a haze right now.
spoiler medical system bad/coming out I had a good talk with my therapist for the most part. He knows coming out is going to be hard and I'm going to have to explain a lot to my family (he thinks this is good). Not up for that right now though.

The bad part is he keeps misgendering me. Need to tell him to stop. Just wasn't feeling it today. Too sad to bother.

Oh also he seems to think "extremes" are bad, example being just immediately and uncritically accepting someone is trans. Fucking hell. Apparently questioning someone about it is good, actually. His example was asking if someone was being brainwashed. Idk he's just a fucker sometimes.

self harmTried to self harm the other day, knife is too dull and useless to do anything. Pisses me off I don't even have the option if I need it. So with that coping mechanism gone idk what to do if I start feeling worse.
In good news I guess I shaved my legs last night and they look/feel a lot better.

EDIT: I am now feeling better

spoiler self harm urges Okay its getting worse. Want to self harm, literally can't though. There's nothing I can do. I want to cut why can't I. This is bullshit. Looks like I'm just in for some suffering. Many urges, deep sadness. :::

spoilerThat sucks, I hope you can find healthier coping mechanisms. Meditation? I know derealization well and it didn’t help that much? Maybe wouldn’ve been worse? What always brings me out of my rut of misery is a random ADHD (?) high. It gives me ideas and energy and good feelings. For example I realized a big part of my disordered eating (mostly just thoughts) was largely OCD. It helps me a lot when I suddenly realize I don’t have to believe my thoughts. They are not me. Thankfully self harm scares me too much to consider, though “fortunately” I have a knife collection “in case.” (Sorry if my “dark jokes” come off as insensitive. Shit, now I read that and it sounds like I’m a prick/gen) Thinking of a greentext about some dude being turned off by scars.

Thank you, I hope so too. Fortunately I am feeling better right now.

spoilerYou should get rid of that knife collection.

I’m too “pretty for that.”

And please don't say things like this under my comments. It kinda hurts.

You should get rid of that knife collection.

I’ve never had the urge, I’m sure I’ll be fine. I actually use them for outdoors and plant stuff etc.

And please don't say things like this under my comments. It kinda hurts.

My apologies. The AuDHD urge to say everything I’m thinking and simply pre-emptively apologize because there’s probably something offensive in there but I’m not sure what.
