Shows with lesbian representation, not just sensationalism?

I’m frustrated with the shows I have seen that are *supposed* to have lesbian representation. They all feel like either porn or a political statement like, “hey look, we have lesbians!” It’s so annoying!!

Reading another post about Orange is the New Black reminded me of this. I know all shows are overdramatized, that’s what TV is, but where are the regular lesbian couples in every-day situations?? Like, I want a show like Friends, Big Bang Theory, or New Girl, but with lead characters that are gay. Not just for the “Ooo look at us we have a gay,” but for the actual purpose of normalizing representation.

The more I read about the church the more nauseous I get. HOW do I process this??

I’m reading more and more about the endowments and stuff in the temple and I’m horrified!

My parents are actively pushing me to go back to church and to do this shit! I feel… totally grossed out and dismayed that they would want me to go through any of that! How could the possibility be okay with that for themselves?!

I’m having legit anxiety over trying to process all of this… bad enough I would have had to marry someone I didn’t want to, but this?? No no no

I feel guilty for eating

I’m going through a phase of wanting to eat as little as possible, which is a problem… I know that, so why do I feel like I did something wrong when I actually eat food??

I had more than a couple bites for dinner; that should be a victory, but I feel so sad… It’s been a while since I’ve experienced this drive to stop eating, and man, I didn’t miss it. 😕

How do I find someone to sleep-sleep with?

Even if it’s not sex… I’m touch starved… soooo touch starved and I’m in so much emotional pain rn… I need someone to hold and someone to hold me.

Where do I find that? Or anything?
