NURSE Editionprevious: >>43487320Goal of the thread: Take a moment to listen to your body. Are all your physical needs met?Daily goals can be repeated. Remember to keep score, it can only go up!>What is this thread for?Getting better is hard, and sucks. A lot. It does not get easier doing it alone.Share resources and experiences with combating depression, anxiety, personal issues, achieving or maintaining a healthy weight, etc.>Why is this thread /lgbt/?Struggles with mental and physical health are an indisputable part of /lgbt/ life, be it from dysphoria, social pressure, heartbreak, or just unfortunate lifestyle choices.>Notes to consider:Please be civil. Shame is your greatest enemy in fighting urges of self abuse (be it sh, drugs, or just self deprecation). Relapsing into bad and unhealthy habits is to be expected, the goal is to increase the average amount of time it takes between relapses. Any improvement is a victory no matter how small. Your worth and right to get better are non-negotiable. And most importantly:WE ARE NOT THERAPISTS, WE DON'T REPLACE MEDICATION>Note on adviceGeneric advice won't necessarily help you in particular, but for those it does it is an essential foundation to build future progress on, not a miracle cure. Do not underestimate the effects subtle changes to your lifestyle can have. Try first, keep us posted on your progress, build from there.We are *always* short on self help resources, so if anything was useful to you, let us know!Since the OP is getting too long I moved all resources into their own post, see below!## RESOURCE LINKS:Resource link paste: https://rentry.co/sig-resources-2025-07General advice from Anons: https://rentry.co/sig-tips-2024-04Posts from other sites (markdown format): https://rentry.co/sig-posts-2024-04

Apart from the GOTT, here are a few things you can do _today_ to make your life a little better. Keep a diary and write down every success. Some you may do as often as you please, but write down each one individually! You deserve it! Do not feel pressured to do all, but feel free to select one or two!- prepare 1 load of laundry- do 1 load of laundry- read one page of a book or manga you have been putting off- cook yourself a meal, or try learn to make a simple dish- eat a meal- pick up items on the floor for 5 minutes- make your bed- if you have a bad habit, try making it more inconvenient (putting things in hard to reach places for example)- do the dishes for 3 minutes- write down one thing you are grateful for (from abstract things to something like a cute image you saw)- Clean up 1m^2 of your floor (~40x40 in)- Open your window for 10-20 minutes- try to exercise for 5 min (walk outdoors, walking stairs, whatever you wish)- take out the trash- drink a glass of water- put one item of trash in the bin- reach out to an online contact (perhaps even try arrange spontaneously meeting up with an IRL contact near you!)- BONUS: Repeat a goal to hit a milestone (1 book chapter rather than a page, the laundry pile, the floor of one room, etc)Unofficial group chats maintained by kind anons of /sig/:IRC: presently defunct afaik.Discord: https://discord.gg/pUuXdBjKX2

>>43623821in spite of the shock, the most urgent thing you can do is to go to the hospital and get PEP (HIV prophylaxis). I know nurses and doctors can be awful but even they have the sense to be kind to you in that case
Random Navy liveblog:Got my (12 page) dysphoria assessment back, my favourite quote is>Her speech was normal in rate and volume but tangential in contentand also>During the assessment, some traits suggestive of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder were observed, including difficulty maintaining sequential focus, tangential responses and rapid topic shiftsSo that's one step closer to a HRT prescription anyway.Just hit a new low point for weight at 67kg this morning (170cm for ref), currently aiming at 63-64kg before I start bulking and/or making use of pioglitazone and i'll probably cycle 5kg if anyone has experience weight cycling.Back to running again, didn't run today but got my 16:08 (could have hit 16:00 it just wasn't my original target) 2 mile which is not great but not terrible (old pre-HRT pr is 12:53).Work is being itself but I kind of feel like I'm getting the hang of things slowly.FFS quote hasn't come in yet which is a bit annoying since it's been 2 weeks since I had my second consult to confirm all that and I am ofc rushing to get it done.I keep trying to check the thread but I'm very busy atm and my phone wont let me post ;-; otherwise I'd be making replies.(also honestly a lot of issues are just beyond my knowledge base).If the /k/ posters are still here, hiiiiiii
>>43624286i use /k/, boney just likes talking about that stuff with me
>>43624286>>43625036Stand ready for my arrival.
>>43625991i answered ur armor question dufus and you haven't noticed, you hate me omg
>>43619758I’m not sure if this would fit here but I’m wondering how to ease constant overthinking without just spamming work or school. I wake up suicidal, feel miserable on my way to class about myself. Get into working and just focus on that and it eases up for a while. Same goes for job’s. The second I’m home again it’s back to intense overthinking and dysphoric self loathing. Is there another way besides busying myself to ignore it or sh
>>43626259/k/ ladyyyyyyyy!!! I’m running out of things to talk about!!! I am really interested to hear how shooting with your brother goes again. It’s tomorrow right?
>>43626747oh oh that's okay, you should think about something and wake me when you need mealso he flaked it back to wednesday
>>43626792It’s just something on my end. I’ve always had trouble with this, text-wise. I don’t know how people text each other super often without running out of things to say. Texting has never been my strong suit
>>43626879it's alright, i don't want you to burnout on me!
>>43627001No no no. There’s nothing wrong with you. I’ll obviously still talk to you and stuff because I genuinely enjoy talking with you. But, like I am running out of things to say 1on1 wise, yknow the topics that make our conversations interesting
>>43627167oh yeah i get that, hmm you could tell me what made you like mass effect so much
>>43627486Honestly, it’s mainly because I fell out of love with the Fallout series and my nerdy loser mind required something to be fixated on. I can honestly and unfortunately say my knowledge on Fallout lore is unmatched. Mass Effect somehow filled the gap because the worldbuilding and lore is near-peer to Fallout. Have you ever played the Mass Effect games?
Good night
>>43626879I text nonstop because I just dump out stream of consciousness. You know when your brain starts having internal monologue? You just lift the valve tap on that and let some of it leak out and that's the conversation. You don't HAVE to engage with me wondering whether I can toast bread with the raw power of uranium, but I'm gonna air out the thought.
>>43627728fyi>>43627745 isn't me>>43627728i did play a little bit of the first but the husks scared me a lot so i stopped xD i played fallout 4 a lot when it came out and some of new vegas off my brother's save. both of those games were fun.
>>43627777Before we continue, any plans to use a trip? I was worried this would happen eventually. It’s okay if you don’t feel like using one. I can still work with it
>>43627837im not exactly sure on how to make one, i had one years years years back but i can't remember
>>43627890In the “Name” category when you’re making a post, is where you decide your trip. Here is the template and you always have to type this to get the same tripcode or else people will think you’re someone else. Basically, put this in the “Name” category everytime you post: UsernameOfYourChoosing##Password
>>43627976hmm i dunno what name i should pick xD
>>43627976did this work
>>43628035>>43628020it work
>>43628035>>43628042/k/ lady!!!! I NEED YOU /k/ LADY!!!!Is that really you with your new trip…. What pistol do you use for everyday carry…
>>43628061my Heckler and Koch vp9a1Fyes it's me dufus
>Chatjipiti, teach me how to date.
>>43628035>>43628042>>43628061can you take your circlejerk to /k/ or somewhere else? If half the posts in a thread are from you without you materially contributing anything you should take the hint and peruse discord.
>>43628402idk what that is
>>43628610discord is a chat service, I don't really care what it is you are using, exchange phone numbers for all I care, but "hii" "hiii" is not really what a general on a slow moving board is for. After exactly 311 posts a thread reaches bump limit and is goners.
>>43628625where do i find it?
>>43619758Any advice on how to start an online business?
>>43596852>So far so good, bunon! Hopefully somebody somewhere takes pity on me and hires me for something at all.>Wish I could help you with the technical more..It's all good, I don't know what I am doing anymore anyhow.I have nothing to aim for these days, it's all a gamble.Nobody cares enough to follow up with me, I'm just a random number that can't be used by anyone. I can't believe I spent tens years of my life trying to self-improve just to be completely useless.Going to college was a waste of time and money. All I do is fail.
>>43621724what are there names?
>>43631554Last name Hawk, first name Mia.
>Don't forget to drink water. After years of drinking less water than I should (which progressed to drinking no water), I noticed the following:- Constant aches and muscle pain - Lots of muscle cramps- Severe stomach pain and constipation- Off and on icepick headaches everyday- Brainfog, dizziness, and fatigue everyday- Extremely dry and flaky skin- high bone turnover rate (could also be low vitD, which is another issue)This is/was totally preventable and I feel like shit all the time. Increasing water intake has already made me feel better. Go drink water.
I really want a hug.
Invincible is kinda mid
>>43634902Its aight.
>>43628074You haven’t told me your top 5 main artists on your playlist….
>>43636627probably like nine inch nails, queens of the stone age, crystal castles, radiohead, and the cure are most listened to bands but i also listen to a little bit of this and that from a lot of bands. also guys drink water and sleep or whatever self improve
>>43636677>probably like nine inch nails, queens of the stone age, crystal castles, radiohead, and the cure We gotta make a shared playlist one day. With your kino taste and my slightly questionable taste, our playlist will be beautiful. Think of it as our child>also guys drink water and sleep or whatever self improveIs this an artist or are you trying to tell me something
>>43637060oh no just a general tip, remember to hydrate and sleep guysalso what kinda playlist did you have in mind? something for leisure or working?
i'm finally coming to terms with the fact that i do really need and want a vagina so i can have sex with men
>>43637149>also what kinda playlist did you have in mind? something for leisure or working?Just for leisure. Like say we go for a night walk and we just want to play some music in the background while we’re walkin. Anyways, I’ve been thinking. Are you still okay with posting here or do you think we should stop bothering the peeps here?
>>43637581i self improve when i talk to you and make plans etc but if you wanna go somewhere else we can, i feel like we're two nomads lol.also a leisurely stroll playlist would be good, i could for sure get something like that together
>>43637652>i could for sure get something like that togetherThe world isn’t ready for our future playlist. I can already hear Rick James as we walk>i self improve when i talk to you and make plans etcI felt this. There’s this homely sense of comfort I feel when I talk with you. My soul feels like it’s self improving
