[grand gull]

GG @grand gull, you just advanced to level 2!

[foggy storm]

Go for it however don’t tell anyone

Ik it’s bad to hide it

[balmy scroll]

Just try and explain to your family because even if they don’t understand it it would change who you are

[foggy storm]

But if ur a child and can’t move away it’s probably safer

[foggy storm]

If they are uneducated educate them first but if they are fully homophobic I think it’s safer to keep it on the low until u can get out

If they aren’t crazy homophobic then I’d give it a shot but if they are the beat the gay kid homophobic I wouldn’t

I don't wanna be an annoying mod but this is the health forum and not the right place for a post like this (not a big problem but if everyone started doing this it would become a mess)

[balmy scroll]

Also it may be helpful to try and explain to her about the current status at home

[foggy storm]

Have u seen some of the things in the health forum 😭

[fickle skiff]

yeah

[foggy storm]

I get it tho

But

Where would be a good spot

As it kinda gets lost in channels

[fickle skiff]

but when a post gets to like 50 replies It's a bit too late lmao

[foggy storm]

Maybe a thread ?

[foggy storm]

Like the hyperfixation chat 😭

[fickle skiff]

a thread in #🌻mental-health maybe

[fickle skiff]

I mean that one is at least a bit health related ig

[foggy storm]

We should have a general advice forum

[fickle skiff]

but more like the band post lmao

[fickle skiff]

yeah I'm thinking about making one but not sure yet but it's on my planning

just have a busy week rn for personal reasons but I'll probably do it after

[foggy storm]

I mean it is a symptom but then I could say how do I stop cutting ppl off over small things is a health thing cos it’s a symptom of BPD

[foggy storm]

That’s probably a good idea

Like someone asked how to make friends
