    I need to get out of my depression. I didn’t realize I was depressed until I had a dream, just now, where I ran into an old college classmate. She was telling me how depressed she was and I was just thinking “but your life is like mine”.

    I just self-administered the IHQ-9 and it indicates me as having “severe depression”. So I need to get that figured out.

    In the past I’ve taken medication for it, but I can’t seem to find any arrangement that allows me to take the medication continually. This really worries me. My life is a total failure including financially.

    A family member has been helping me financially but it’s ruining their finances to do so.

    I have a few, but the general theme of 2025 for me is “cultivation.” Ignoring personal life milestones as goals, my biggest areas of work will be to improve my fitness and start a training regimen (I know, typical lol), going vegan once and for all, accelerating my language learning journey, and finishing the 30 or so works left on my “essential Leftist theory” personal reading list I set out for myself, including Capital Volumes 1-3. I want to go into 2026 a more well-rounded individual that is more knowledgeable and broadly skilled.

      I’m not sure what you are trying to tell us when you call yourself a visibly trans person. What you are inside your mind is rarely what is visible on the outside.

      So, helping trans people, absolutely, but how about you, who is looking out for you?

        I am short with a somewhat femme figure, sparse but obvious facial hair, a flat chest, and a voice that sounds somewhere between a very gay man, a 13 year old boy, and an older woman. I am very visibly crossing many lines that people look for when trying to figure out how to address someone. Meaning, in a time when attacks on trans people and our rights are very quickly ramping up, I am in more danger of harassment and assault than I have been in the last few years.

        As far as who is looking out for me: I am, that is part of my goal, but I also have a husband and a few friends who I can ask for help. However, I am in a slightly better position in life than most trans people in this country, since I live in a blue state that is (probably) unlikely to strip me of my rights. Hence my focus on helping others. There will probably be a lot of people coming here for medical treatment, and I want to make sure I help in any way I can.

    I have three goals:

    • Lose weight
    • Do at least three game jams
    • Stay employed

    Stretch goals

    • Move into a nice rental house
    • Get a new, better paying job
    • Get laid
    • Ship a game
    • Survive the shitstorm that is 2025

    This is the first time I’ve ever felt the coming year isn’t going to be great. In fact, I’d rather stay in this one if I could.

      You can speak your mind and still be kind and considerate. You tend to catch more flies with honey and after a while nobody resents a hard truth in the mix.

      On the other hand, being less considerate about truth means that people will ignore you or worse actively fight you just to spite you.

      You definitely don’t have to be passive, but you don’t have to be a dick about your truth.

      Note that I’m not saying that you’re planning to be a dick, just that I’ve been where you are and don’t wish that on anyone.
