Hello (TW: Self-harm mentioned)

Posts: 1 Just got here
Heya, nice to be here, I don't really know what to write but I'm gonna try anyways (awkward ramblings start here). It's been a smidge difficult for me over the past couple years with a myriad of different things but I'll try to mention a few š . I'm sadly not a girl (though I really wish I was) and I want to be trans but I know that my parents would probably not support that and I've been having a real rocky time. I've tried expressing interest about girl things (like painting nails, wearing more feminine jewellery and stuff) but my Mum's kind of laughed in my face about it and said I was being/looked silly and that she "only wants to make me cool and not be bullied" (I've never been bullied before and have a ruby-player's build (tho I wish I didn't and was more smol and cute)) I'm getting slightly sidetracked but that's my issues with being trans (also coming out to my family would be hell). Another big issue is just raw anxiety and AudHD (think I spelled that right) which led me to self harming though I'm a couple months clean of it now thankfully and am very safe (after CBT). Also I'm struggling because I think that what I thought was romantic attraction was just platonic attraction and I might be Aroace š . Anyways, thanks for reading any unfortunate soul who had to deal with reading this lol š
