Hey there! I read in one of your other posts that you have OCD, and from my personal experience I think this might have a lot to do with what you are feeling. Before I saw treatment for my OCD I quite severely repressed my sexuality due to awful intrusive thoughts about me making unwanted sexual advances on people or doing things that are sexually inappropriate (these thoughts sometimes caused me to stay home from school in fear of hurting anyone -- even though I never would). What you're feeling is a normal symptom of OCD, and if your seeing a counsellor or some other health professional, I would recommend bringing this up to them: I know it can feel embarrassing but they're there to help!  It's not you, it's your OCD! I promise! I felt alone and 'dirty' for a very long time before I managed to seek help, so I know how it feels. Stay strong! :) ... View more

1. My cat is named Tybalt after the character in Romeo and Juliet. 2. I've been both skydiving and bungy jumping... yet most of the time I'm too anxious to answer the phone.  3. In year 12 my studio arts final project got put in an art gallery. It was a photo of my mum plastic wrapped to a door. 4. I have bright red hair, which has been my colour of choice for about 5 years (with some changes over time). 5. I spend most of my time playing the Sims. ... View more

Quick update: I'm so proud of myself. Just Saturday I couldn't imagine being in my place today. Over the weekend I went through my first break-up but we still managed to remain friends and even though I love her I can see that we weren't compatible (and we were super long distance, so that added pressure). I'm proud I'm accepting this without my anxiety or depression going over board. Of course, I have to take care of myself over the next few weeks, and will update when I'm proud of that. Haha. I also came out to my mum as gay. She said she sort of knew, as parents seem to always do hahah. ... View more

Hey guys!  . Ah, I'm so happy to see so many young members embracing themselves! I'm 21 and I only really figured out I was gay at 18 (by playing a hot sim on Sims 3. Cannot make this up ), so kudos to you! Also, it's nice to see some people excepting changes in how they've previously identified! I identified as asexual most of my life before I realised I was indeed very gay. I don't think I've ever once thought to myself 'Yep, I am straight', though.    @peacelovepizza That's adorable. Ah! ... View more

Today I'm proud that I started to work on my resume and have been taking steps towards becoming more productive (including posting here, even the thought of posting on forums like this is usually daunting for me). I asked my friend who I haven't seen in months if we could organise something with another friend I haven't seen in literally years.  Also, I'm proud to be part of the LGBT+ community. I'm attending a pride march and brought a few accessories for it today while shopping with my mum (who I haven't came out to yet but I'm sure knows anyway). While researching opportunities I found a lot of resources that made me so proud to be a part of this community. ... View more

Hi everyone!  First post, I'm happy to be here. Great questions, by the way. Would you rather explore a new planet or the deepest parts of the ocean? Why? Immediately I jumped to new planet, thinking of aliens. My logical brain is confusing itself with the implications of this (in our solar system? Can it support life? Gravity? Elements?). If it were somehow perfectly safe, definitely. Some planets rain diamonds! Even Mars would be amazing: This photo blows my mind. We have the technology to build little robots, send them in rockets and take pictures of sunsets on an entirely different planet. This is a place no human has ever stood. Wowie. Anyway, I associate the deep ocean with one of my favourite books, Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman (named after the deepest known point), which uses it as a metaphor for the main character's lowest state of mind while dealing with mental illness (very beautiful book!). So, metaphorically... no thanks!  Though I am sure it would be very beautiful. Bring me the aliens! If you had to teach a subject, what would it be? Probably literature. It's so fun hearing all the ideas and interpretations people can come up with: I find it so freeing because there's no real wrong answers (as long as you can justify yourself!). Words and stories help shape society. And yes, I would be one of those 'the curtains are blue as a metaphor...' teachers. What motivates you to succeed? The ability to look back and know I made it through it all, and be proud of myself for having overcome the obstacles in my way, as well as thoughts that I could help and inspire others through the things that I do. Also, cannot forget that pesky bug called perfectionism. How would you survive a zombie apocalypse? I would not. Next question. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?  A raven, because they're super intelligent and aesthetically pleasing in their own brooding, Poe-ish way. What kind of magical power would you like to have? Teleportation. I'm in a long distance relationship, that is my main reason. Also, air travel can be expensive and I'd love to see more of the world. I could also get to places easier (no  more commute to uni, yay!) ... View more
