Could use some words of encouragement/support. It's very tough after years of self degradation and isolation, all while living with schizophrenia. agony-wholesome

    Honestly, it hasn't come without enormous mental struggle and self-introspection. It's been almost a half a decade now of trying to figure out who i really am and unlearning negative biases, both from the negative schizo-talk and the extremely white, christian, conservative, rural community I grew up in (racism/elitism/anti-immigrant/lgbt+phobic/etc) doomer

    I still have so much to learn (yay!), and unlearn (booo :( ) when it comes to those biases. Here's to the never ending struggle comrade spongebob-party

        Well I moved to a more urban centre which is more accepting, problem is up the latter hasn't changed much.

        I even was able to vote left-wing last election! (even though the party called me a fascist basically) doomer
