so yeah. i established a persona that wears whatever ages ago. the only relevant steps in my coming out (in my city) are therefore name and pronouns. it is horrific. i don’t want to talk abt myself or be the topic of any discussion. i like the anonymity here. but these people know me.
i just turned off notifications and spammed a few group chats.
… guess i’ll burn my phone.
update: i’ll survive. i had a good, long and agitated walking-around-in-the-flat-while-crying, then had a peak into the messages. had 2 really cool chats with ppl i hadn’t talked to for a long while. the rest is a lot of emoji noise. which is nice, but i don’t know what to do with that. it’s the nice ones.
Hey, I’m really proud of you. That took a lot of courage. There’s no getting around the flood of emotions an feelings of panic that doing something like this will bring, you just have to wait it out. But remember, you told your friends. These are people who like and interact with you by choice. And just as I’m sure you would stand by them, they will stand by you.
Eat some food, drink some water, and know that everything will feel a bit better after a good nights sleep.
ty. i’m really super unhungry. but i’ll make tea.
