    depressionposting, dysphoria, some health stuff, transphobic family. it's bad, i'm sorry

    god i'm so fucking miserable lol. I don't have an answer to the reason why I'm so fatigued I can barely get out of bed, I'm dysphoric all the time, I'm getting fucking top dysphoria now which I didn't used to have or at least it was never this prominent before. I feel like I have nothing to look forward to in life. My mental health is in such a drain that I'm actively avoiding people because of it, which I know is a shitty thing to do and I feel awful about it. if nothing else, I want to stop being depressed so that I can finally respond to peoples' messages like a normal person.

    I literally have not felt a single moment of true happiness for at least 3 years at this point. I don't even remember what happiness feels like. it sounds cliche but it's true, I actually cannot remember even the sensation of it. If I'm not spiraling from OCD I'm feeling sick to my stomach with anxiety over random things or numb from depression. Usually it's all three at once. I am starting to think I have BPD. I fit a lot of the symptoms.

    And I don't have an easy health answer to my fatigue. From all measurable accounts I seem normal but I'm so tired and dizzy that even climbing up and down stairs is a chore. My family thinks I'm faking it and that all I need to do is to get more exercise or something but I've tried exercise. I've tried exercise and it's a miserable experience that doesn't make me feel better afterwards. I had a period 2 years ago when I was briefly in college where I walked and biked constantly. I felt winded after walking for 10 minutes on the first day of the semester and on my last. My stamina is just gone.

    I don't know what to do about all this. Medically transition, I guess, but I'm still living with my family and I'm worried they won't be supportive. It was already a fight to get my mom to be okay with me being a queer person who ostensibly wasn't trying to change stuff about my body. She wasn't happy when I brought up the prospect of going on birth control. What would her reaction be to me taking testosterone and getting my tits chopped off??

      Chronic fatigue solidarity. It fucking sucks feeling exhausted all the time, especially when exercise just doesn't help and makes it worse meow-hug
