I wonder, what does she consider "proper treatment?" And how do you feel your treatment for depression is working right now? Do you want it to change or are you pretty satisfied? With the emotional boy comment, as much as possible try to put that aside with all the other nonsense she says...

Hi Kittypink, I think it might help to think of crying as something that happens to be some people's automatic sad reaction, while for other people it just isn't as automatic. There's nothing wrong with being someone who doesn't cry easily. With depression especially it's not a good indicator of ho...

Like, I know I have had severe depression, and back then I was pretty much empty. And I feel like I still am empty because I'm not always crying when I'm severely upset, maybe it's just me letting my mother get into my head again, but I feel like I'm still suffering from it even though I've made a s...

I don't have a collar, yet.

So, anyone have suggestions?

So, anyone have any idea on how I could mention this to a significant other, because I kind of want to be their kitten.

That's an unfortunate reaction. I guess if your grandmother was giving you transportation to the date she might have felt like her time was wasted, but it's a bummer that she's taking this to mean that this person wouldn't make it in the future. She would of called after, but she told me she was af...

My grandmother won't let me hang out with her now, because she thinks she won't show up again.

Do days ever feel off for you when you aren't as anxious, down, etc?

Seconding the 'have a second plan' thing, personally I wouldn't give folk more than half an hour. And yeah, if you're not willing to be friends with her at this point its' alright, sometimes you discover you're not feeling an arrangement and panic about how to say so but keeping someone idle for an...

Being stood up really stinks, but alas, it's a thing that happens sometimes in interpersonal relationships (and, I'd say, especially first dates, where a good strategy, IME, is to always be prepared to do something else in case that happens). Sorry that was what happened for you here. :( Well, give...

So, I sat up at the place we were supppsed to get coffee at, and she never showed up, even an hour after she said and we agreed on the time. I was pissed because I never even got a call, and I was really looking foward to it!

Like for example, my grandmother saying isolating me is to protect me for "bad influences" or something.(Not an actual reason why.) Like some of this shit frustrates me so much.

Yeah, just no images. And as long as it's consensual.

Hi, KittyPink! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I definitely understand the fear of looking out of place. It's so great that you feel confident wearing shoulderless/crop tops, and that alone gives you the right to wear them. I would suggest that if you have a support group or some individua...

Like I want to wear these kinds of tops, but I'm afraid I'll just look weird or that my shoulders will be really big. Any help? (I feel confident in wearing them, I'm just afraid I'll end up looking super masculine in them.)

So, yesterday I almost couldn't fall asleep, and that was mainly from dysphoria. Anybody have any ideas on how to fall asleep even if I'm suffering from insomnia?

Yeah, some people genuinely hate Obama for some reason or another due to political reasons, but I've seen others use thinly disguised racism to hate on him (i.e. questioning where he was born though they never asked another president). And of course the accusations that he was Muslim (though that s...

I'm going to be with my mother for the summer for two and half months, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to deal with being away from a significant other for a long period of time. (Oh, and if anyone has tips for homesickness, that would be appreciated as well.)

Realized I have an issue, I can't wash the panties in my laundry.

Like I'm on the border between calling myself a switch as opposed to a sub, because like, sometimes I want to be dominant to an extent, and sometimes I want to be completely dominant. Buuuuttttt.... most of the time I'm submissive. Any ideas with help on this?

To be honest, she's so cute! <3 And, she's really, really sweet. (I'll just stop gushing now, and go back to absent-mindedly daydreaming... or something.)

Maybe before you start thinking about how to go out secretly, it would be worth checking in to see what the current rules in your house seem to be? Just so you have a better idea of what kind of constraints there are. I got the constraints, and now they're pretty reasonable. And, things seem to be ...

It absolutely doesn't invalidate you as a female (and you're definitely not the only person who feels that way, either - sometimes or all of the time). I think you've mentioned before that you've read our Trans Summer School series, but your post reminded me of the "Am I Trans Enough?" se...
