meh, that's my response to age!!
I'm not sure who is who either, I'm fairly new to the forums.
I've had a particularly crappy year and realised I'd signed up to sane a few years back and decided to start participating.
I like how there is no judgement, no one tells you to get over it and people know how you feel.
Regarding pets, I have 2 cats, Mal who is a red point ragdoll and Gypsy who is half ragdoll and half sassy madam. Mal is like my emotional support animal, he will lie next to me at night and won't leave my side when I am upset.
How about you? @bartart23

Hi @ENKELI so far I find sane okay haven't had a issue they seem nice
If I got to know who is who i won't be so scared haha I get scared because I don't know what to say yes I am very complex and lots of issues i just don't know what to say and sometimes the voices take over and talk
I would love to make new friends and take to know peer workers and everyone else I get confused to who is who and who does what job
I have one cat and 2 fish

@bartart23 yeah I hear you. It was like when I was asking you and @Jynx about transgender stuff. I think I wrote a message about 5 times and deleted them all because I didn't want to offend anyone or make people think I was dumb.
I guess I should thank the people who screwed me over this year because I have come to a point in my life that if people think I'm stupid then I can't change that. Of course that sounds good in theory but not so much in real life.
Do you mind if I ask you a few questions regarding being transgender? Don't feel you have to and I won't be offended if you say no. I have gay and lesbian friends but no transgender friends and I want to be more informed. ❤️

Thanks for trusting me ❤️
I'm doing it again now, I don't want to upset you so I don't know what to ask.
Lol, I've gone all shy now. I think I should get to know you better before asking if that's okay. Sorry if I have made you feel anxious.
How about some general questions about yourself? I will answer anything you want too.
What sort of music do you like?
Do you have a favourite movie or book?
What would your ideal job be?

I like all types of music except metal and I grew up in the 80's (told ya I was old!!) so I love 80's music
Same, no favourite movie or book (gee we're boring! ha ha ha!)
As for dream job, I'd love to do something in event planning and management.
Do you have family support for your mental health? Are they supportive of your sexual orientation?
My mum tries to be supportive but she doesn't understand bipolar so she tends to change the subject or talk about someone else she knows who has MH issues. It used to upset me but I know now that's just how she is. My brother who lives with me is pretty good when I need to vent. I quite often yell and scream at him and he lets me rant. When I'm over my rant he'll ask how I am and if he can help.
I am luckier than some people that's for sure.
Where abouts are you? Which state?

@bartart23 people are shitty. If you were my child I'd celebrate you for you. No one has the right to make another person feel bad based on their beliefs or feelings.
Do you have anyone who supports you?
What gender do you identify as?
Oh and what state are you in? I can't remember if I asked that before.
