Hi, guys.
So I've been on hiatus for a long time, and I just want to explain why.
For those of you who've read my book, you'll know that I ended it when I was in a really bad place. I was suffering from a lot of gender dysphoria and just depression in general. Shortly after I ended that chapter, I did something that forced me to be admitted to a mental health facility for three days. Now I've been diagnosed with major depression, and been prescribed with anti-depressants. They're taking their own sweet time to kick in.
I just want to say: what I did, I did in a moment of weakness. At the time, it felt like I was being strong, but it wasn't. It was just me giving up.
If you ever feel like I did - just despondent, and empty for weeks, months on end - you need help. I needed help, and I still do. If someone ever says anything that makes you worry about them, then get them help - because if you don't, you might lose them.
It's funny how we don't care about depression until someone dies.
Also: I've realized that I'm transgender (male). I'm really hoping that others will support me in this, as it's not a realization that I've come to easily, and certainly not one that cleared anything up for me. But chances are, that's not going to happen.
Sorry if reading this ruined your day, but thanks for reading it nonetheless.
