I haven’t left my apartment in almost 2 months lol. Not sure what the point of this post was — just venting I guess and seeing if anyone can relate. I’m so envious of you folks posting about going to gay bars, sex parties, etc. and just living your gay lives to the fullest (as you should!! No hate at all)

Edit: I’ve also been in therapy for almost two decades and tried like 15-18 different antidepressants. But I genuinely appreciate all you guys’ responses on ways to help and for just listening in general.

How is it?

I come across a lot of political debates on social media, and without fail, when Trump supporters are asked why they support him, 9 out of 10 of them give only two reasons:

1. trans people in sports/in bathrooms
2. illegal immigration

Trans people make up like 1% of the population and the VAST majority of these supporters have never crossed paths with one. This has not ONE SINGLE material impact on their lives, and yet to them, it’s the most pressing issue in society. This fixation does nothing to help them afford childcare, housing, healthcare, etc. but it’s okay because at least there will be a few less trans people on their TVs.

I’ve experienced very few benefits but plenty of side effects that are impacting my quality of life (bad memory and brain fog, major dizziness and fatigue that result in me almost collapsing once a day, extreme erectile dysfunction - to name a few). At this point I’ve been on it for a little more than 2 months. Should I give it another month? Another 2 months?
