Today marks 10 years since till my almost last day. I am having a small party, (Alone in my apartment playing music)
My life isn't perfect at all, but I am glad that I am still here telling my story. Did you ever had any suicidal thoughts because you didn't know how to come out? I
I am so happy we are becoming more accepting

I’m glad you’re here, OP.

For whatever reason suicide just isn’t in my emotional vocabulary, but once I felt sad and empty about the things I would never have: a wedding, a home, and a family. Well guess what, I got everything I wanted. I wish I could tell my 16-year-old self that straight people didn’t own those goals, and didn’t own happiness.

Yes, I thought about stepping in front of the Metro so many times when I was younger. Therapy helped me to be less suicidal at the time. I still had a lot of coming out to do though. It’s hard.

+1 I have two beautiful children 18-year-old me could not have conceived of being possible. So grateful that we have these option now. And so glad you made it through, OP! <3

Celebrating with you, OP! Two months ago, I found my teen had sliced his arms and legs up with a razor. He was terrified to come out as gender fluid and bi, and tried for a year with all his might to starve himself into at least androgyny. As puberty hit, he got more and more desperate. He’s got some serious therapy, meds, and a good endocrinologist now. But the biggest relief was just to be able to say it out loud and be loved & accepted for who he is. Jan 31, 2022 was our near miss day, and as horrific as it was, it was also the first day of a new lease on life for our kid. OP, I’m glad you’re here & wish you hope and brightness for the future to come.
