UK Reform of Gender Recognition Act/transphobia/please fill in/boost 

The government wants to decide how to reform this, but I worry that a lot of transphobes (TERFs specifically) are filling this out. Even if like me, you're cis, fill it in to negate their hatred.

I found this a quick read/parts of it helpful/insightful beforehand:

Also, you don't have to fill it in all at once! (I haven't) You can return to it later (but before the 19th)

CW transphobia 

A vile and deceptive transphobic ad that ran in London's free commuter newspaper Metro has been referred to the UK's Advertising Standards Authority. Here is a link to the ad and another to the website where you can submit a complaint.

HUGE CW transphobia, genitals, sexual assault, and abuse, obviously. No-one should've had to see this ad and neither do you.

MH/anxiety take? 

Please please get help if you can, however that is done. Self help through approved channels, talking with a support group be that close friends or an actual group set up by people, a doctor or specialist, yoga, whatever helps. Just don't... Please do not do what I've done and just internalise and push it all to the back of my mind.

It will destroy you. I wouldn't wish "just getting over it" on anybody. It's soul crushing.

MH/anxiety take? 

Here's possibly a tip. Take with grain of salt or 60.

Do not attempt to brute force your way through mental health issues. It is an absolutely terrible idea. I have tried.

I'm not sure how I'm still alive but I'm definitely not functional. I feel like a machine going through motions. I'm not equipped to diagnose myself properly or explain my symptoms because i keep instinctually writing it off as "just making a big deal out of nothing and just wasting everyone's time".

today is the day. the day you go into cs:go matchmaking and only use the glock the whole game, yelling "GLOCKTOBER" in mic if anybody questions

- / ??!!? 

No I don't"think" I need to see someone about this. I DO need to see someone. That's not an opinion that's a fact. I'm a mess and this isn't going to get better just trying to brute force my way through it.

... Well shit.

Apparently some of the symptoms I had today aren't labyrinthitis.

They're a panic attack, causing hyperventilation. Which might well have been triggered by the vertigo from labyrinthitis.
Which of course can be made worse by

Drumroll please

Anxiety and panic attacks!

\o/

Holy fuck i don't know how much clearer my body can be about screaming at me "get help".

I really think I gotta see someone about this. ._.;

Mostly on this account today because feeling fragile and not so good and don't want to flood my main account with negativity and me screaming into the void.

Which now that I type this i realize is pretty bad as well because I'm still just internalising this whole "stop being dramatic" shit I've been programmed to believe.

@MochiWaifu
Thank you, but I'm not certain this won't be a life long thing. I mean if it is, I can probably learn to live with it but it does limit the physical activities I can sometimes do.
