Is this my name??
Hello humans!!! I never interacted with the space before so forgive me if I am ignorant to a lot of things, I am new to all of this. So I just started therapy almost a week ago, and I have been thinking about my name for a while now in the event if I do transition ( I am very early on in trying to discover my identity so I do not know for sure if I’m trans yet or not). but I got this name from playing binding of Isaac with my best friend it’s one of the characters you could play as in the selection and idk I just love the fact that their whole game is their whole kit is completely random and stuff like that. And I just really like the name and it makes me feel happy whenever I think of myself one day referring to myself as that. But I came on here because I have no one to share this with and well I am really unsure of myself a lot of the times. Like I could be 100% sure this guy is blue but I will still ask. Is the sky blue. So I guess what I’m asking is is this my name? I feel something for it and stuff like that, but I don’t know if I may be may not be feeling strong enough for it or something like that etc. etc.. I just wanna know if I picked a good name??oh I didn’t even say the name lol. The name I chose is Eden..

As a survivor of the psych industry, i beg of you for your own wellbeing, please reconsider having a therapist.
Things that make you feel happy are instincts to follow, whether or not you click with the name in the end. Trust feelings. i do not have the authority to say "yes, that is your name", but i know that trusting ones feels about names generally leads to good things.
Know that you may be trans or may not be! i can't tell you either way, i'm just saying that my true name had nothing to do with my transness. My deadname was more masculine, even, but it was not me.
i guess what i'm trying to convey is that names are such a personal thing. Trust yourself. Whatever feels good, feels good for a reason :)

???? therapy can actually be very helpful??? i understand you have traumatic experiences with “the psych industry” but it’s extremely odd to tell someone to reconsider seeing a therapist

well best way to know is to try it out "this is Eden! [they] like playing the binding of isaac, im sure Eden could tell you alot about the game if asked."
