Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I'm a trans woman, I am white and I'm not disabled so I have those details as advantages, but I've still been internalizing for months that I probably won't get to make it to my 35th birthday (in about 4 years). Only things keeping me going are the same things that always kept me going, looking forward to incomplete media (anime/manga that have more seasons/releases to come, and video games that aren't released yet or haven't finished their update/content cycle) and wanting to finally physically be with my long-distance boyfriend. But I'm so tired and so wary of all the shit happening and I worry myself sick about all the worst possibilities. Fuck everyone responsible for the way the world has gone. Every rich person and every power-mad narcissist. The fires of hell and eternal damnation are too cold and too lenient a punishment for any of them.
