I’m 30, transfem, and to be quite honest, I feel my will to live slowly slipping away. I’m trying to find the willpower to finish my PhD thesis and to get into a better living situation after that, but I find myself frozen and wanting to curl up into a tiny ball of nothingness instead. And there are LOTS of reasons for that, mostly centered around trauma, guilt, and shame.

I don’t think I can fit everything I need to say in a succinct post, so if it isn’t against the rules, would any of you fellow girlies be willing to shoot me a DM and give some advice? I don’t think I can really explain without having a back-and-forth conversation… thanks in advance. 🏳️‍⚧️💜
