#mostly looking for advice

MAIN TOPIC, BRIEF: I need advice with my anger, anger management is not an option, neither is therapy an option for me right now.
Recently I've just been incredibly angry, it's either over small things like not being able to do something, someone having a response I didn't like, or sometimes I have no idea why I'm angry at all.
I've talked about this several times in my own personal server with my own personal friends and I know they don't have to answer and I'm not mad if they don't answer either, I guess I'm really just trying to get answers for myself. Which is shocking to me because I usually just try to fix my own problems without asking for any help at all. And I still do believe I can help myself, so for right now I think I just need some advice. I've had problems with my anger for a VERY long time, it starting to pick up more aggressively when I was around 12-13. This usually just started as me yelling or shouting but it progressively got to the point I was so angry that I would hit things, throw things, etc. I've never really had a good outlet to release pent up anger I've built up say over the past week, or month. So in the end when something sends me spiraling I just end up letting all of my anger out on something, usually furniture around my room or going outside to try and calm myself. I'm not really SURE where this anger originated, or began. I just know I can relate it to my own mother, because I know she deals with similar anger I do.
I'm scared I might slip up and say something I'll regret later to the ones close to me, including the ones I love, and I'm scared of this not because I think I'm a bad person but because I've seen this happen with my own mother. She says things in a fit of burning rage that she ultimately regrets later, leading her to apologize to the ones she has hurt, including me. And that "I'm sorry" feels empty, like it really doesn't mean anything. And I'm not saying my own mother is a bad person, but I'm saying we share the same anger, and I don't want to fall into the same pit she has.
I want to say this before continuing to write, my parents are not bad people, nor have they hit me physically or thrown things at me.
I find comfort in relating to characters who share the same anger as me, even so far as to say it makes me upset when I see someone else sympathizing or relating to said character. It's not a big issue and I'm aware that seems chronically online but sometimes it has been an issue for me.
trigger warning:|| Mentions of sexual assault(??)||
||Usually at night I'm left alone with my own thoughts and feelings, and I think back on past events in my childhood that may or may not have effected me badly now that I am older. I don't want to go into graphic detail, but several times in my childhood I have been "accidentally" grabbed or touched in areas I would rather not be touched in by my childhood friends. But of course I was young, and so was the person who had touched me. I've found myself in between an area of saying "I'm just looking for attention and it wasn't that important, and it didn't effect me" and "They were young as well, and they didn't know what they were doing." But than I look back at in an look at another perspective, and when I do in fact see what happened from say maybe a strangers perspective I'm always finding myself saying "that is clearly sexual assault no matter how you look at it" but once I return to my own view point I'm still just hit with my own thoughts like "it didn't even effect me."||
||I haven't spoken to anyone about this EVER, in fact this is my first time ever speaking about what happened. If anyone is reading this, I could explain something with more context, but I wanted to keep it as brief as possible.||
Considering I haven't told anyone about this, and I am still in contact with this person, I would really like some advice on the matter.
mostly looking for advice
apart from this mess could I get some advice on sleep paralysis??
I have this weird kind of sleep paralysis isolate something and in short terms its like my brain is awake but my body isnt
so I'm left there on my bed, cant move, cant see, cant speak and i can only hear things around me while im just stuck in my own mind
it's happened to many times i dont stress about it anymore because usually after a few seconds or 1-2 minutes my body wakes up
now i know i could just look up "advice for sleep paralysis" but if there is anyone else with this issue that could help me it would be great
it happens a lot less now from when i was younger but if it does happen again id rather be prepared instead of freaking out trying to scream or wake my body up
I also experience vocal hallucinations, usually at night when im going to bed, if anyone could get me some advice on that aswell
i dont know why but im just so angry all the time even when i dont realize it
it doesnt matter what im doing, i could be hanging out with my friends, and 10 minutes later ill just get angry
and half of the time i dont even know why
ive been feeling an unreasonable amount of dysphoria lately, and im just constantly angry about it
its almost like if i'm feeling stressed or sad about something it just all turns into this anger and adds fuel to a fire
i just have no idea what to do about it
i talk to the ones i love and it does help, but i just get reminded of something and get heated again
can i rant here aswell
im going to assume it is because other people have
alot of times on different social media platforms i come across videos of people relationships, specifically more leaning to gay relationships because i am gay and its more targeted to me because of this
now, usually im not someone that flinches or gets all mad when someone says a slur around me and i dont mean to be like that in the sense "im so edgy i dont melt like those liberal snowflakes" but more in the sense my humor also kind of just leans that way
but recently its been bugging me out and for awhile aswell
i see alot of straight relationships and alot of gay relationships at a time on my feed, and the comments are interchangeable
mostly just something along the lines of "if i cant be happen nobody can"
but once i dive deeper into the relationships i can relate to there are people saying straight up slurs fo no reason at all, or just something insanely passive aggressive if you were in the room with that comment you could cut the tension with a knife
and USUALLY im just like okay whatever what can you do but the more and more i see these videos and read the comments the more i realize about a handful of people in those comments are not infact just making a joke
but actually do hate those people in that relationship just because its just two dudes kissing
and it makes me wonder about my future with my boyfriend
if someone sees us out in the street theres a chance we could be yelled at or worse and im not sure how to deal with that
and i cant believe when i was single i acted the same way
saying shit like "if im not happy nobody can be" when i see a happy couple
single people are just salty man
and im in no way shape or form saying i want to break up with my boyfriend or im being backed away from the one i love just because someone might yell at me from across the street
i love him and i always will but im also scared for him and myself
yes my glorious king i will
i was planning on it
Ty pooks
back to what i was sayin
i live in the deep south, and my parents and everyone around me that i dont know on a personal level seem conservative
of course i plan on moving away but i also have to think about things like college and my future career
me and him are long distance, and we plan on seeing eachother as soon as possible or whenever i can actually see him
but im not so sure about staying here
yes i am scared of how people will react especially down here
O ok
everyone down here is STRAPPED you can imagine how scary it can be to be walking alone someplace or at night and just see a stranger across the street also alone it doesnt matter who it is or what they look like
and its no good up in the midwest where my boyfriend is, i mean he tells me about things that happen throughout his day and a few times he's mentioned coming across people who just ask him strange things
like "are you gay" "are you trans" etc
and i cant help but wonder if he answered "yes" to any of those questions could he have been hurt
i think thats it uhhmm
tl;dr im homo and so is my boyfriend but i live in the south so everybody hates the gays what am i meant to do here
Wait are you in hs rn or college
currently in hs planning for college
College where
well there is a place down where i live thats a good college for me but if it came down to it i would most likely move somewhere more comfortable and attend college there
me and him have been talking about moving, even moving countries because of how bad it is
but the big issue is money
South is Texas right?
im not in texas but youre on the right track
ive been trying to save up money wise but its insanely difficult because im under 19 and nobody around my area seems to be hiring under 19
ffs i js need a job ๐ญ๐
he works jobs in the summer because he has school and music anytime else
I'm too poor to send help
๐
I spend all my money on food
too real im afraid
Wait how you fna afford college
my future career is in health science as a physical therapist and the college i plan on going to which is where i live now offers jobs for people who work on campus
paying for tuition or dorms
but if that doesnt work out i plan on going to a community college
big misfortune
You're sure your parents would be upset if they found out?
absolutely dawg so heres the kicker
im a trans man and my parents were NOT happy to find that out
WAIT I HAVE A QUESTION
go for it
IVE HAD THIS QUESTION FOR AWHILE
SO ARE YOU GAY OR ARE YOU JS
Wait
Idk how to ask this
Without being offensive
ok so
nah its ok
im a transguy but i also happen to like guys
my boyfriend is bisexual
if that helps you understand better yes
community college is my option if i dont have enough money
No you already said that one
uhhh
What you gna say smth after this
Or
Nah
well
if they found out i also happened to have a boyfriend im not sure how they would react
most likely badly
What'd they do when they found out you was trans
Wait couldn't you just tell them you're straight
Like yh it would be a lie
But if BIOLOGICALLY speaking you're
Yh
well my parents are conservative christians but its not like theyre ABUSIVE or anything
but they react badly to certain topics
with the knowledge of them knowing im a transman they would not fuck with my boyfriend
Sorry you said you were from the south so everytime I think of smth I think of your parents as young Sheldon's parents ๐ญ๐
I'm trying my best to get my two braincells to work I promise ๐๐๐
Couldn't you js tell them you aint trans anymore
And then come out after you've moved out of their house
Whenever that is
Come out again I mean
my mom is deadset on me just going through a phase and that im not actually transgender despite admitting to thinking about this since i was at the prime age of 12
to reverse transition socially to my parents is like digging my own grave
while my parents can be rough sometimes i dont plan on going no contact with them in the future
so it'd go like
saying im not transgender
moving out to live with my boyfriend
them finding out i lied
having to transition all over again
Wait so how does the transition work is it js clothes or like pills
thats just me however everybody has different experiences
im not medically transition YET
Dawg js take the 1 L to your mom for now if you wna stay w your bf
Or risk it nd js tell them
Wait
i take a big fat L this "one time" i have to admit to my mother she was right and endure endless years of teasing and my mom js calling me a boyfailure all over again
america aint the best place for homos right
so im scared to leave my house with my boyfriend and someone yelling at us or giving us weird looks
or worse
its fine bro ๐
people are still deadset on not liking gay people for whatever reason
i mean future wise
when we arent all that long distance
Idk abt irl but in the movies they seem to support lgtbq
istg i hate NY no offense to anyone in NY
I love big cities
not a big fan
Biased asf tho cs I was born in the most dense city in the world
But anyways
Where would you move
If you did
but if we had to move a to a different state most likely Wyoming
nobody lives in wyoming bro
America by fat is definitely the best country for lgbtq rights other than maybe Canada rn
I've heard ๐
ts is so wrong bro ๐ญ
The whole continents of Asia, South America, and Africa are js sm worse
And europe
im not sure if you are or are not american but america is most definitely not the best place for lgbtq people
Europe's Europe
the most accepting and safe countries are scandinavian countries
like norway finland or sweden
Oh
True
Swedens nice
I forgot abt that place
I went there once
Good chocolate
we talked about moving to norway or sweden
I'm pretty sure in the current economy Sweden would be the cheapest for a 1st world country rn
And free healthcare
Yeah Sweden seems like the best choice
Norway idk
Never been
norway is kind of expensive as of now but its pretty safe there
sweden or canada is most likely our best choices
still somehow safer
Safer yeah but if you don't like NY you won't like Toronto or Quebec
You fw Toronto but not NY?,
for the silliest reason too
What is it crodie
because scott pilgrim vs the world took place in toronto
right but breaking bad didnt take place in NY
Is it south tho
its in the southwest
