my weekend was really bad thanks!
this site is ok tho. figured out how to subscribble to the communities i'm interested in, so that's neat.
It seems like IPL is working! I shaved Saturday and I'm still somewhat smooth, plus before when I shaved against the grain I would get so many red and itchy spots, which haven't shown up (yet)!
Just be careful of paradoxycal hypertrichosis. LHR and IPL, especially when done incorrctly, can ironically stimulate the follicules to grow hair thicker than before. So keep an eye on that.
Do you know more about it? Nonetheless, I will.

You can read it up here but unfortunately this phenomenon is not well researched at all, so the info is quite sparse.
thank you for posting this!
I love how Rust is the official trans language lmao
No love for Diesel in the OP?? (honestly that might be for the best, SQLx looks cool)
I think it got left behind a bit because there's still no official async support, there is a fork as far as I understand tho.
sorry
We're coming up on five years of trying to fight this shit. Five years of trying to get better. Of trying to even imagine a happy life. Of understanding what I want and can reach for. And I haven't found anything. My brain is literally just broken. Actual dogshit.
I will never be happy. I am not capable of doing what will make me happy.
Fucking "survival instinct". Such complete bullshit. I know I will never be happy, normal, I will always hate myself and be hated. So literally why can't I bring myself to do it. Do I want to go through another embarrassing, awful five years? Just fucking, putz around hoping I figure my shit out? I don't want to do that.
I can't get better. Why do I have to do it myself. I wish I'd just die in my sleep already.
I hate being a burden. All I do anymore is go from place to place, person to person whing about how I'm in pain. Dump all my sad shit on the nearest poor fucker who has to listen to me. I'm an anchor around everyone's neck.
I'm such shit. I can't do anything. I don't even know what my problem is. Why can't I get even basic shit together.
The kindest thing would literally just be shoot me in my sleep. Life sucks, it's going to keep sucking, my mental issues are going to keep tormenting me forever. This isn't living. Literally what difference does it even make if I'm dead. Not like I'm doing anything with this "gift" of life. Fucking waste. Why am I a wasteful, unappreciative shithead. I should kill myself just for that.
even worse self harm stuff
I want to cut myself so bad. It's been days of urges slowly building. I want to see blood. Feel the rush. Holy shit the rush. Honest to god better then drugs.
Y'know "being a burden" is not a real thing, else I'd be an even heavier "anchor" to certain people... I'm sorry you feel this way though, given you haven't and can't really make the progress you want wrt gender it's not surprising to feel this way, but you don't deserve to turn it on yourself Wouldn't be as much of a problem if you could get what you need on that front...

I guarantee you will start to feel better once you start HRT or socially transitioning, even just getting out of your parents house when you're ready will probably help you.
This feeling won't last forever, it's probably going to feel like you've been holding your breath for 5 years and finally can take another breath when you start. Transitioning isn't a cure-all but it's definitely the kind of thing that can help anguish and mental health a lot.
You're worthy of living and worthy of help and care. It gets better, I swear
Woke up anxious so probably gonna do some cooking of and then self care like shaving and doing my nails again. Food and looking good usually put me in a good mood
watched that anime lord of the rings film. i liked it
minor spoiler. you will be spoiled
wulf is kinda gender (at least when he's clean shaven)
