"I wish one of us was a man" type of situation

Today (my 20th birthday LOL) my best friend hit me with "I wish i was a boy so I could love you properly" and it isn't the first time she says she wished one of us was a man so we could have been together romantically. At the same time, she claims she's straight so all of this is confusing since she's kinda insistent about craving a relationship with me. Today she told me it crying with her hand in mine and it was very deep, it really hit me. My question is that... i know every situation is different, but is there anyone who went through a similar thing? Have i the right to be confused about her feelings towards me or am i just overthinking?

Exposure therapy through medias

After i got acid reflux last september my emetophobia worsened A LOT and i even had trouble pronouncing words linked to vomit, but after i decided to go to therapy i started to deal with this phobia and I'm noticing that i don't have anymore the urge to look away from my tv series/movie/tiktok etc when i see or hear a scene of vomiting. I still have to cover my ears but now i can look at it without feeling anxious!!! The same thing goes for calmly reading and writing "vomit", "throwing up" etc like i'm doing right now

I've suffered from emetophobia for as long as I can remember

I'm motion sick so nausea is my best companion during long and tortuous car trips, but when i was a kid it made me throwing up and it traumatized me to the point of developing this phobia. As the title says, i've had it for as long as I can remember but it got worse in september 2025 when i got acid reflux and i completely lost my appetite and i became constipated for a week, with nausea and dry heaving. I felt so bad that i had trouble eating and i couldn't even say words linked to vomit without panicking. I started to properly eat again when i started to go to therapy, and now i eat well exactly how i did before september but i have the constant thoughts of getting sick and vomiting; i'm really working on it and i try to rationalize my thoughts. Right now it's 1am and i can't sleep because i randomly had stomach noises and in this case i guess it was because of digest (every night i drink a chamomile to help my digesting) and hunger but when i heard those noises i really got scared and to calm myself i sipped some water (which is a trigger because when i was like 6 my whole family, including myself, got a stomach bug and i remember i was drinking water when my mom threw up in front of me) and when i saw that i was just fine, i calmed down a bit but i still can't fall asleep. Therapy is helping me but i still have those bad "lows" so i'm still not fully recovered... I do NOT want any kind of reassurance but i just can't wait to fully recover from this phobia!!! It's consuming my life

do you have any kinda-cheap game recommendations??

i got a nintendo switch 2 for my birthday and i'm searching for games that don't cost very much since i'm kinda broke. it was a mario kart world bundle so i already have that one, waku waku sweets and my hero one's justice 2. i'm planning to buy tomodachi life (i'm a big fan of the one for nintendo 3ds) but it's kinda expensive, so i was wondering if someone could help me find good cheaper games; i had a look at the nintendo e-shop but i'd like to receive advices from people who have actually played those games. i don't have a favorite genre, i can like and try anything!!
