So for context: I'm a disabled NEET living with my (transphobic) parents. I cracked just a couple of months ago and I'm not out, I don't know if I ever will.

The doctor was being really nice when I was getting treatment for my illness, until my mum said I'm too whiny, to which she answered "he's a man, they are all like this." They continued joking but I kind of zoned out, and my mum scolded me afterwards for being rude.

Sure I'm used to being called a he, but this felt different. I'm not used to socializing outside of the internet, this sort of interaction isn't common and I just... didn't know what to do. My mum went to the hospital bathroom and I went outside to let myself cry. Unfortunately, she saw me, but it's whatever.

I thought Woobat from Pokémon had one big eye

I wasn't sure if the nose was actually an eye, or if Woobat had no eyes, and its nose was just meant to *look* like one. Turns out neither was right, its eyes are just always closed (notice the w shapes surrounding the nose).

Frustrated that I can't create anything

I don't feel like I can create art of any kind, that my words and feelings are at all valuable, or that I have any useful skills. I see people talk about how passionate they are about their craft, but I don't think I'll ever share that feeling. I just feel so damn useless, I can't accomplish anything. I don't even have a job or an education (dropped out of high school).

I've tried all sorts of things, like music or drawing, but I just sit there without getting anything done and get very depressed if not break down in tears. I guess I'm too scared to "fail" that I don't allow myself to try. But even when I do try, I just don't understand anything. like, I start drawing, and I try to make something simple, and it just seems impossible, like it's just out of reach.
