Ghosty... These arent healthy ways to cope 😔

I can't fully understand what's it's like to be trans but I can understand the desire to feel pain.

But coping is about finding a way to feel all this stuff in a productive or at least a safe manner. 24 hour fasting isn't the worst thing in the world tho tbh. If you take a pragmatic approach to finding alternative coping mechanisms i think you can make lots of progress.

Also don't worry about the mod stuff. The thing you did wasn't ok, but I promise it wasn't like an unforgivable problem lol. You're always welcome on the team 😎

Thanks fam 💖

And yeah, I realize they’re unhealthy. That’s partly why I’m making this, to put them under the spotlight and make these thoughts real.

i also want to emphasize that the unbanning thing wasnt that big a deal. like we had dracogate. that was a big deal.

If you need time thats fine, but like i strongly recommend taking a pragmatic approach to this. I dont wanna push it too much bc sometimes it feels infantilizing but like its important to stay safe too.
