I've been feeling more and more depressed lately by the fact that my family will never accept me and some residual internalized homophobia that I am constantly trying to get over... words would be nice...

In Chicago if you need a friend

In New York, if you want to grab a drink / talk. Regardless, sorry to hear that. Give it time. Sometimes it's takes much much longer for families to come around. Even if they don't, build a family of friends and folks that appreciate you for who you are! Re:Homophobia - see if talking to a therapist helps. I had a solid set of friends almost 9 years ago when I came out. So that helped a lot too!

In Austin if you need a hug, or we can take a walk. My parents didn't really come around until after my divorce, and not because they were happy. They actually saw how much my life preference meant and how hard I wanted it to work. It's like I became human...only 30 years of living but they came around. *Hug*

In NY if you wanna chat

Dc reporting in for hugs/love. I highly recommend therapy - it's helped me tremendously throughout the years.

+1 in Chicago if you still need someone to hear you out OP

L.A. checking in. I was out for nearly 8 years before I was rid of my internalized homophobia. Had a great group of gay and straight friends who loved and accepted me for me. That's what did the trick - well, and a little bit of therapy. 😃

You need a cuddle buddy?

Okay, I have a new problem and need help. So thank you to all those who provided app recommendations to me in the past. Right now, I’m using my fitness pal to track food intake.

I feel very full trying to hit 1600 calories in 8 hours. It’s even more when working out according to the app. What do you recommend? Eat less?

Hello, Fishes. I wanna to share one incident with you. Recently I got a call from J P morgan's HR.

She took all my details and then she said that I will be getting a call from them. At that time I was in hospital due to some unavoidable reasons, So getting a call from them made me happy.

4days back when I tried to call on the same, I got to know that my number is blocked by her.
Then called her from another number and the way she talked with me was really pathetic.

None of my tests ever indicated any issues. I have tested my egg reserve twice and everything came back normal. Any thoughts/advice? I’m really at a loss for words.
