Hello. I know I disappeared for a while but I'm back for now. I have a few updates. -I'm coming out to my parents on Tuesday (Not as a straight boy but as a gay girl) -I have DID -My depression has returned
Yup depression sucks especially if you thought to have beaten it already...but see it like this if you have beaten it once you can beat it again. Glad to have you back and good luck with your parents.
Hi, I'm pleased to meet you. As someone mentioned, if you beat it once you most likely will eventually beat it again. There are some indications that are hopeful. For one thing, your subject for the thread is funny and shows a good sense of humor. Profoundly depressed people have a lot of trouble having any sense of humor. Another is your energy. You're coming out to your parents on Tueday (not "someday"), and with a surprise twist it appears. Good motivation is another indication your depression might be something you can fight. I'm not sure what "DID" is, so if you can please tell me as I'm a bit dense on this stuff. Also, your message is concise and very to the point. Any chance you might be a bit autistic? Please write back, at the latest after you've come out. Depending on how it goes, it could have a big effect on the levels of your depression. Either way, we're here to help.
DID is short for disassociative identity disorder symptoms can be amnesia relayed emotional response disassociation detachment and troubled perception of self time and places People can feel detached from their own thoughts feelings and self. There is also the definition of "multiple personalities" inhabiting one body but this could not be scientifically proven in the sense that public media likes to portray it
I do actually mean in the "multiple personalities" sense and amnesia does come with that. And yes, faustian1, I am autistic. I didn't realize it was that obvious. Definitely not with a twist. My.parents are transphobic and I'm AFAB. I am a straigt trans boy, but because my parents think I'm cis, I'm coming out as a gay girl instead. I'm only coming out Tuesday because it's National Coming Out Day. I suppose I have a decent sense of humor. Depression comes and goes, really. I might want to die and then 10 minutes later be laughing at videos on YouTube. (One ridiculous video that helps somehow is Pen Pineapple Apple Pen.)
Please don't be creeped out by my clairvoyance. :lol: I'm an Aspie too and I've learned to recognize the signs. There are a lot of smiles in what you write. I sure hope your depression doesn't last, and I hope too that your National Coming Out Day announcement goes really well.
Thank you. Sorry if my writing seems sort of... Stiff. I don't really relax around people until we're actually close. (Not me, anyway. As stated before, I have DID in the multiple sense and I'm not really the alter to go to for a fun time.) If you do want to talk more, though, feel free to drop a message on my wall. (Is that what it's called? I haven't been online in a long time and my memory is bad anyway...) ---------- Post added 9th Oct 2016 at 07:02 PM ---------- Thank you.

I hope you get better. I know what it's like to be mentally ill and depressed. Make sure to take care of yourself.
