I hope it's okay I add a few more! Social distancing doesn't mean you can't find ways to help people out in your community, especially those who may be more vulnerable or may need a little extra support during this time. For a lot of communities there are still ways to reach out, and I want to menti...

Alright, I'll definitely keep all that in mind, and definitely like having those people I know support and believe me in what's happened, my friends especially although I think a large part of that is actually having to live through it with me. I'm still nervous for it to get better, but I'm so frea...

I had to go to school to clean out my locker and grab all of my school stuff, we we're put on a schedule based on last name so I got a chance to talk to my AP and the constable. My AP just wanted to check in and ensure that I was doing alright, and we confirmed that things were going pretty well in ...

I hope it's okay I chime in for a second here, I wasn't sure I fully wanted to, but I definitely think it's interesting. The things mentioned here are things I did used to have problems (for lack of a better term) with, that still arise sometimes now. I used to get pretty frustrated with it, because...

Alright, I'll definitely give that some thought, although quite honestly I don't think I can ask her to look into getting me those, she's made a lot of progress with me being trans and I really don't want to move backwards. Even with those other reasons, they do make sense I just think if I'm asking...

It feels pretty heartbreaking to be dealing with this, before binding and before all of this happened I never thought it would actually be me having the problems I am. I had heard of other people having those problems and while I did have the same issues while taping and ace bandage binding (obvious...

So, I've been binding for about a year and a half using GC2B binders, they work pretty great but lately I've had some problems with it. I'm an athlete, so I stay pretty active, and have always worn my binder for working out, and up until recently I haven't had issues with that. I know obviously, you...

Okay, I think I'll probably set Wednesday or Thursday for when I'll contact them. Thank you.

- For me, what I enjoy doing is setting up a workout, this kind of looks like 1 minute of sprints, 50 pushups, 1 minute plank, 100 sit-ups - repeat. Sometimes I add in burpees but not always because I find I get lightheaded going high to fast and repeatedly. All of that can be changed around though,...

With writing it, or I guess actually sending it, I have a pretty good idea of how I'd compose that, I just don't know when the appropriate time frame would be. I'm still not sure what'll happen with my therapy, but I haven't gotten a call for a cancellation or with any other information, so I'm kind...

Haha, there's my own life situations where I'm just as confused and stuck, don't worry. I totally get how writing can be really hard when mental health/illness gets in the way, it's something I've been struggling with for a little while. My therapist and counsellor both recommended that I start by j...

I think I'll give it some time before I message her and see how that'll all work - this might actually speed up my case now that she isn't dealing with a school population of like 2000 students. I feel hesitant to actually write the message though and all that, I don't want to be pushing it. With my...

In the matter of an hour, (it's been a few now) I went from having school tomorrow, to not having school until September, students in my province will receive a final mark and progress to the next grade level. They cancelled PATs (Provincial Achievement Exams, which I'm assuming are similar to you S...

For sure, thankfully I have a treadmill, and with staying home my mom will require a certain amount of exercise each day. Sadly, with the weather I can't head down and do my walk/hike I normally do, but it's fine I can work around that. Either way, I'll keep it up with the exercise, and won't let th...

I don't want to only update on the bad, because right now, kind of feeling on top of the world. I've felt alright the past few days, Wednesday went so poorly, and Thursday was alright, so was yesterday. Although the person decided she wanted to piss off my friends during the play we had and stare at...

I get that, it's terrifying. When you have so many people that have let you down or have gotten your hopes up just for them to hurt you, or you don't have friends that treat you all that great, it makes sense you'd be scared of it. Honestly, a lot of what your describing you're doing to help cope wi...

You know, although I'm not ace myself, I've known a few people who identify as asexual who have had fulfilling relationships and the main thing they've said has helped them was working on their confidence on their boundaries then putting themselves out there. Actually, I dated someone who was ace, a...

I honestly don’t think there’s anything you can really do? I’m not sure what’s really even possible. Honestly just having a safe space (with a record of it all) to be able to say “this really sucks” and explain the things that are happening. I don’t really have an idea for how you could best support...

I’ve been involving people, my AP is aware of all of this and I talked to her yesterday, my school counsellor knows and I have an appointment with her today, my teachers are taking it pretty easy it seems. I have a math test and my teacher is being pretty chill about all of this, if I’m not able to ...

So, bit of an update: So, I had an orthodontist appointment and so I was late to school yesterday, everything was going really quite amazing... until I got to school. So, she was there and caught up and walked to my locker and waited while I went into a different area past my locker and tried not to...

Yeah, I think that makes sense. Thank you, this all still feels so new which is really strange to say because I was doing it for quite a while before everything. It’s definitely frustrating and confusing to have to relearn things about my own body I thought I knew so well. I think knowing that I’m s...

Thank you, I think with the whole time thing, this just feels like a pretty strange amount of time. Like these problems started popping up badly at about this time last year, when I started questioning what happened. It was weird because I started to remember things I had no recollection of before, ...

Recovering is annoying. Like yeah, I guess I can take that off the table again. I just kinda miss how that felt and I really hope I can get back to that point. I’m just worried that like with everything else getting better and with you saying it *could* be something that will feel good in the future...

I’m just curious, recently, I’ve been exploring masturbation a bit more, and like that can be really fun. Especially now that I’ve been getting used to feeling pleasure down there, which isn’t something I was able to do for quite some time. The weird part for me, is I feel like I’m new to this all o...

Hey! Welcome to the boards! So, I had to deal with a lot of this when I first came out and I want to let you know you're not alone. I also hear that dysphoria can really suck, and I'm sorry that your mom is against trans people in the way you describe. Truly, there's nothing wrong with being trans b...
