Venting is part of therapy. I appreciated it. We are somewhat acquaintances and somewhat strangers which is quite similar to the therapist / patient relationship.

I overshare here and while its a journal it's also because the people close to me have not been good to share with for the most part. They're supportive, but most of them think I should have sucked it up and moved on by now. That's not how dealing with trauma works. Not how the journey of being transgender works. Not how trying to come to terms with having neurodivergences works. Not how being in addiction recovery works. This stuff takes years and we all need people in our lives who have patience to hear us talk about things a lot over and over again. You're welcome to vent and share as much as you feel like in my dms hun. I'm a good ear and I've been to dark places a lot in the past as well. Lots and lots of love.
