Think I'm going to put together a small thread I can update with mental health tidbits after my therapist said it's good to be open about this stuff, even if it seems grim on the surface. So here we go!

Twice this past week I had an evening dominated by suicidal thoughts that wouldn't be away, and I'm slowly learning to cope with them and figure out the root cause. I didn't self harm though, which is an improvement.

There's so many layers of self improvement I need to address, ranging from recent grief to internalised transphobia that still stops me from believing in my true identity. I know that I can't fix everything at once, so I think it's all about chipping away at things when I can.
