Is this a stupid coping mechanism? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Our therapist said that in general coping mechanisms are unhelpful in the long term and it is more useful to have coping strategies.

However, we understand, it's hard being trans. We recommend seeking community and listening to some of their strategies, or merely just offloading emotions in places designed for that.

We do hope you will be okay and that you can find some solace that it does get easier, if not better.

You do not need to apologise to us for being negative. 💜 We understand.

Hmm, we hope you can get some helpful drugs. However, we suggest seeking community offline and going out, that may help at least a little. We find our mood is improved when we do such things and have others around us to help or enjoy things with.

kratom

had to look up what kratom is. apparently it's a type of plant that comes from south-east asia (malaysia) and when taken in low doses, it is stimulating (less exhaustion, better mood, less pain). so a bit like cocaine but with less addiction potential, apparently.
