my mental health has been getting worse (vent) (self.lgbtq_plus)

So this is a bit of a long one but things haven't been going well for me at all lately.

So things have basically been crumbling around me for a while now. First my now ex leaves me and just fucks up my mental health for a month or so. To the point where I'd spend at least 2 hours crying daily.

Then my best friend proves he's a bigoted asshole. Parents do usual shit messing me up further.

Now not only I see that nearly all my IRL friends are bigots. Then I just have a breakdown over body hair. Odk why I just hate everything about my shitty body. I hate this weak fat ugly sack of meat I call my body.

Then with basically 0 warning the only support network I had in mastodon blows up in my face because of sexual jokes I made and properly tagged.

The second I get comfortable with something it just blows up in my face. I'm honestly surprised I haven't hung myself yet

Sorry to hear you're going through these things.

No advice, but I just want to say that life gets a lot better when you gain independence as you age. This article helped me get through some of those tumultuous years.

F yeah. There is no better cure for sanity than moving away from the assholes and down-draggers of ones life. No better way to get back ones self-confidence than learning how to live independently (and figure out one isnt as big a loser as one was repeatedly told). In my opinion.
