Tldr, scared about coming out and its consequences I'm 18 & scared/confused about my immediate future. In the last 6 months, I have come to accept myself as trans. What scares me is telling others. I live in a conservative area with a conservative family (I have heard comments about trans people openly existing being the work of the devil), and i go to a wels church. I am scared that when i come out my family will hate me. I know i will be excommunicated from my church, which in some ways is good, but it also hurts as I am currently in the praise band and like the people there despite some of their views. It also hurts because i feel confused enough as to what i believe already. Am I cutting myself off from christ? My pastor is supposed to teach me how to drive as well. Awkward. Im starting college this fall and have signed up under my own chosen name rather than my given name. I'm wondering how I should even go about telling everyone. Thanks for getting this far. God bless you.

My long term boyfriend just informed me that he would leave me if I gain too much weight. I don’t feel great about this, especially because I’ve gained about 20 pounds since moving across the country in the middle of a pandemic and slipping into a deep depression. So, I guess our love is conditional?

I am a married woman and I am completely in hopelessly in love with my online crush every time I see him my heart just skipped a beat and I hate the fact that he will never ever ever see me in the same way he is the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen in my life and I would just love to have the opportunity just to be in his presence just wants God I only wish she could see this but if he did he would probably laugh at me because he’s so beautiful and I am so I’m not beautiful.

I am attracted to someone who works in a local shop. I stop by a few times a week. Now I feel really awful about, because I found out she is much younger than she looks. I've never spoken to her or bothered her in anyway. I just feel bad for be attracted to someone so young, even though she'sof legal age.

When I was a child I broke my arm and the first thing that I said to the doctor was “My daddy didn’t do it.” My dad was taken in and my parents convinced the police that I was only joking and that I said that of on my own. They acted like they had not told me to say that on the car ride to the hospital.

i asked my lover to be my boyfriend then cheated on him that same week and have been lying to him ever since and still keeping in contact with the guy i cheated with

sometimes i feel angry about the things in my life that i cant control. i feel as if everything in my life is falling to pieces and then i go to school and that all changes. i have friends who care for me. teachers who appreciate my ideas and a place to have some sort of normality. i love my friends so much but i find it hard to communicate that with them and soon i have to leave them to live a -better- life and i dont know how to tell them. im afraid when i leave they will stop talking to me or stop thinking about me because i know i wont stop thinking about them.

My self esteem is derived from sex and admiration, I’ve been married 7 years and feel like I may never get either again. I hate myself and would like to make it a full day without wondering what the afterlife is like.
