Bisexuality, Biphobia, and Health

This is going to be a quick run-through, but no doubt I'll return to this topic in future posts. For now:

The following are the statistically significant (i.e. strong evidence) findings of Horn and Swartz, 2019, “A Comparative Analysis of Lifetime Medical Conditions and Infectious Diseases by Sexual Identity, Attraction, and Concordance among Women: Results from a National U.S. Survey”:

Bisexual women reported higher rates of poverty (26.4%) than homosexual (18.9%) or heterosexual women (15.7%)

Bisexual women reported higher rates of asthma (18%) than homosexual (16.5%) or heterosexual women (10.8%)

Bisexual women reported higher rates of hepatitis B/C and were more likely to report having had an STI in the last 12 months than homosexual or heterosexual women

Bisexual women were more likely to report having had any form of cancer than heterosexual women

The 2016 “Comparison of Health and Health Risk Factors Between Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Adults and Heterosexual Adults in the United States: Results From the National Health Interview Survey” found:

46.4% of bisexual women had symptoms of moderate or severe psychological distress, compared to 28.4% of homosexual women, and 21.9% of heterosexual women

11.7% of bisexual women reported heavy alcohol consumption, compared to 8.9% of homosexual women and 4.8% of heterosexual women

Bisexual women were found to be more likely to have multiple chronic health conditions than heterosexual women

The 2016 “Intragroup Variance in Lesbian, Gay, and Bisexual Tobacco Use Behaviors” study found that bisexual women are more likely to smoke than homosexual or heterosexual women.

“Sexual orientation health inequality: Evidence from Understanding Society, the UK Longitudinal Household Study”, 2017, found that bisexual respondents had worse physical functioning scores, psychological distress scores, and health and life satisfaction scores than heterosexual respondents.

The Oxford Handbook of Sexual and Gender Minority Mental Health (Bostwick and Harrison, 2020), finds bisexual women to have worse rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use. They reference Conron et al., 2010, who found bisexual women to be TEN TIMES more likely to have considered suicide in the last year than heterosexual or homosexual women, and that bisexual women were more likely to have attempted suicide than any other group studied. They also reference Kerridge et al., 2017, who found bisexual women to have the highest prevalence of PTSD of any group studied, that bisexual people have more personality disorder diagnoses than heterosexual or homosexual people, and that bisexual women have significantly higher odds of a bipolar diagnosis. The book makes a point of noting that stereotypes about bisexual people may factor into diagnostic criteria and processes.

And just for good measure, below the cut is the entire bisexual chapter of "LGBT Health: Meeting the Needs of Gender and Sexual Minorities", 2018 - full references and digital text available on request:

Hello! Welcome to my blog.

My name is Sebastian! I'm an autogender bisexual/biromantic girlboy who uses he/she/they/it pronouns. I was born, raised, and live in the United States of America (though I hope to get out of here as soon as possible). Please keep in mind I am a neurodivergent minor (16yo) before interacting with me.

I'm an optimistic absurdist with a deep love for animals, particularly amphibians and reptiles. My dream is to study creative writing and become an author. Once I graduate, I want to fight to make the world a better place by writing novels and poems that everyone can connect to. I enjoy talking about urban planning, political issues, LGBTQIA+ related topics, and creative media! Politically, I consider myself a solarpunk/hopepunk anarchist.

I post about: Media I like, politics, LGBTQIA+ topics, alterhumanity, memes, overall things I find funny, and aesthetic things.

Asks/DMS open.

No set DNI. However, I am a extremely leftist and inclusive person and I block freely. I try not to discourse blog, meaning I'm not going debate with non-like minded people. I don't have the energy for that.

PFP by @/spicymochi 💛

Other stuff I didn't mention below cut:

I have ADHD and probably either bipolar disorder or BPD.

I have a speech impediment (slur my words, can't make R sounds/rhotacism).

I have a lazy eye/bad eyesight/severe astigmatism.

I'm socially anxious and don't know how to talk to people for shit/I have temperament issues.

I have trouble empathizing sometimes, but I do care about you and try my best! "Sometimes I have intense overwhelming empathy that takes my breath away. Other times I feel like it is a chore to act like I care about something." -Reddit user who summed this up perfectly tysm u/angry_baberly.

Best way to describe my gender is with a mix of fingender, mingender, genderfae, genderfaun, and agender mashed into one singular creature named "Sebastian." I occasionally refer to myself with these terms, but my "official label" is autogender. Or, to put it simply, he's just Ken Sebastian

I'm just a little kibity cat (otherhearted feline)

"wowee thats a lot of labels" yes. I collect them like little shiny rocks. they make me happy

⸻CHARLES MICHAEL DAVIS HE + HIM / have you ever heard of I KNEW YOU WHEN BY MARIANAS TRENCH., well, it describes ZEKE WILLIAMS to a tee! the THIRTY NINE year old, and OWNER OF BELLE NOURRTURE was spotted browsing through the stalls at portobello road market last sunday, do you know them? would you say HE is more graceless or more PERSONABLE instead? anyway, they remind me of the taste of experimental ingredients , the sound of a karen’s shrill voice and early mornings with coffee at the perfect temperature , maybe you’ll bump into them soon! mental illness tw , alzheimers tw , injury tw

time in notting hill : currently ten years birthplace : notting hill , london sexuality : bisexual relationship status : divorced

growing up, zeke williams knew that he had a gift. cooking was his passion, his art form and everything that he could want to do in his life. it was something that he could control. his cooking fascination began when he was only five years old, helping his mother in the kitchen in their humble home in notting hill while his father worked long hours at the local hospital. they never believed that their son would grow to love cooking so much as to want to do it for the rest of his life, but there they were, raising a young chef who would cook more and more as he got older.

things began to change, however, once zeke began to grow up, hit puberty and eventually begin mingling in the halls of the dangerous jungle that was high school. it started out subtle, but the highs and lows were constantly being brushed off of zeke's mood as simple hormones until they began to grow more erratic and drugs and alcohol were involved that the school guidance counselor recommended zeke see a psychiatrist. over weekly sessions, the family was shocked (but perhaps, not so much) to learn that zeke was to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, but something that was manageable with medications. it was through the trial and error that zeke went through the motions of his disease, learning how to maintain it without hurting those around him and along with it he focused heavily on his dream - taking this obstacle to the next level.

it was with some struggle that zeke managed to graduate high school with an esteemed diploma and fighting his way through the cutthroat world of scholarships before finally earning his way into the culinary institute of america which brought him to hyde park, new york where he would follow the footsteps of those that he admired the most. it was with his productivity and capability that zeke was able to impress even the most stubborn of professors, his creative mind making different dishes from around the world as if he had cooked them in foreign kitchens when in reality he’d made them right in the united states.

it was with his driving talent in the kitchen that zeke graduated with his master’s degree in culinary arts in which the whole world became his oyster (so to speak). he chose for some time to work in restaurants run by the big wig chefs, having worked under gordon ramsay, masahara morimoto and before the restaurant’s shut down, guy’s american kitchen & bar. having worked his way up the food chain (no pun intended) he’d eventually made it to third runner-up in iron chef which still managed to earn him enough fame and fortune to get his name out there opening more and more opportunities.

however, such a dream can only last for so long, when an accident in the kitchen left him with limited mobility in his dominant hand , his chef career ? over as it seemed and his marriage , as short as it was , fell apart as well . as life usually worked in some cases when six months ago, zeke received a distressed call from his father, his mother was sick. suffering from early alzheimers, zeke was quick to pack the life he’d made for himself in new york, rushing back home to notting hill to help take care of his aging mother while his father was too busy to do so himself. once he arrived, he'd decided to open up his own restaurant to be as close to his dream as possible and belle nouturre , the local fine dining restaurant , became his . it wasn’t with the same flair as restaurants in new york city, but it was perfect for him to live his lifestyle, and take care of his mother all at the same time.

Bentley 8 Squad: Forgive and Heal

(I dedicated this post for this October AKA Mental Health Awareness month)

Every member of the Bentley 8 Squad has a dark past. All of them were problematic in their late teen or early young adult years.

Angela Pleasant (Bentley Queen). The miss “perfect”. She was a queen bee, cheerleader captain, honor student, and the girl squad leader. Her parents (Daniel and Mary-Sue Pleasant) put pressure on her to be the flawless daughter. She dedicated herself to become “The Perfect Princess”, but actually she thinks she’ll never be good enough. But she didn’t tell anyone about her battle with Bulimia, and no one believed her when she said there’s something wrong with her body. Everyone just said it’s just bad cramps, nothing more. Then she was diagnosed with Endometriosis at age 19. Although she was surrounded by many people, No one understands her pain and struggles. She's pursuing a master's degree in psychology from Sim State and has the ambition to become a psychologist, but her conditions keep restraining her.

Lilith Pleasant (Bentley Gothic). The black sheep of the family. Daniel and Mary-Sue favored Angela over her and abused her. They didn’t teach her to talk, walk, and use the toilet. They blamed her for everything. They liked to and slap and yell at her. She and Angela also hated each other and they’re always fighting every day. One time, Lilith ran away from their house because she couldn’t take it anymore. But eventually, the police found her and took her home. Since then, Daniel and Mary-Sue treat her better and Angela apologized to her, but later on, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Bipolar Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder. She pours all her emotions into arts and music, then took the art major at Sim State because her dream is to become a rock singer and illustrator at once. But her fluctuating moods and her addiction to self-harm make her questioning the future.

Dustin Broke (Bentley Rogue). The delinquent criminal. The death of his father and the way he died made him mad at the world. He took over his late father’s position as the man of the house and eventually became a criminal to support his family. But his mother became an alcoholic who liked to beat him up and throw an open bottle of alcohol at him. He also has substance abuse after he became a drug dealer. One time when he was in his college dorm at Foxbury, he sent Gordon King into boiling rage after he told him that he spent the drug-selling money for gambling besides his tuition, and Gordon beat the shit out of him mindlessly. Because of his drug addiction, he was diagnosed with Mild Schizophrenia. Sometimes, he thinks he’s already wasted. He doesn’t get enough sleep every night and always looking at the ceiling while he lies on the bed.

Dirk Dreamer (Bentley Brain). The genius, nerdy guy. He always put a good effort to do well in his life. He was an honor student in high school. But the death of his mother really shocked him, and his grades took a downfall. Eventually, he rose to make his late mother proud and his grades back to the top. Although he was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 16, he keeps studying hard and he got a scholarship to Sims University Medical School. He became the assistant lecturer of Dr. Worthington. But, not everyone admires him. The son of Dr. Worthington named Dr. Mark punched him hard when he was alone after finishing a class. He said that Dirk will never take over his place as a devoted medical student in their faculty because his father kept comparing him with Dirk. Dirk keeps it to himself and he never told Dr. Worthington. Although he wants to become a psychiatrist to recover his beloved seven friends, He almost gave up as a doctor because of his illness. He muses about it every night when he's alone because he has to act as a strong, resilient young doctor in front of everyone.

Ophelia Nigmos (Bentley Flower). The mysterious and anxious girl who was desperate for a family. Her parents died when she was ten, and she was raised by an (allegedly) murderer aunt. She was haunted by many ghosts in her near-graveyard house, and Aunt Olive wasn’t the nicest person to be around with. She liked to scold her over the smallest things. She was cold and indifferent to her. One time, she humiliated Ophelia in front of her high school. Many people looked at them, but Ophelia couldn’t do anything to hide the shame. It caused her to have Anxiety and Paranoid personality disorders. Because of this, Ophelia is always anxious when she has to talk in front of many people, so she dreamed to become a novelist and songwriter. Eventually, Aunt Olive died when she was attending La Fiesta Tech. Ophelia mourned her death, but the wounds that Olive gave to her aren’t easy to forget.

Puck Summerdream (Bentley Fancy). The lucky fairy guy who was adopted by loving parents and also a kid sister. He didn’t want to get involved with Capp-Monty feuds in Veronaville and always be kind to them. He also had a crush on Hermia Capp, who became his girlfriend after they kissed for the first time at Puck’s party. But Mercutio Monty didn’t like it and got mad at them. The next day, he beat Puck's ass and took his money at the schoolyard. "That’s for stealing my girlfriend", he said. Puck hid his feelings and cried when he got home. Later on, he attended Academie Le Tour with Hermia. He took double majors: music and mathematics cause his dream is to become a classical musician. But, a tragedy struck. Hermia got shot in a mass shooting and died when she was buying heart medications for Puck. Puck fell into a Major Depression, and his heart condition got worse. Years have passed, but he couldn’t forget her despite many women want him.

Ripp Grunt (Bentley Clown). The tragic hyperactive joker. His mother died when he was eleven, and he was raised by the disciplined-yet-abusive General Buzz Grunt. Buzz liked to punch him when he didn’t obey him, and his brother, Tank Grunt, used him as his punching bag. One time, Tank threatened him to tell Buzz about Ripp’s bisexuality just because Tank didn’t like that Ripp partnered with his crush, Anna, at the school lab. But Ripp never showed his real feelings, except for Ophelia and Johnny. He smiled, joked, and laughed a lot, but actually, deep down he’s crying. He cries a lot and is also tortured by loneliness when he’s alone, but he keeps hiding his feelings by “The Funny Guy” mask. Despite the abuse of his father and brother, Ripp has the talent to entertain others by acting, singing, and play the guitar, so he took the drama major at Britechester. He suffers from ADHD, and gastritis caused by the longtime stress of the abuse. He misses his mom so much and always musing about her.

Johnny Smith (Bentley Leader). The carefree green guy. He was happy. Being the “normal” family in “abnormal” alien descent made him proud of his heritage. Despite having green skin, Johnny was so confident. He’s a sporty jock guy who likes to exercise, play soccer or basketball. He tried so hard to fit in at his high school and every surrounding. His neighbors see him no differently, except Buzz and Tank Grunt. He and Tank always fighting with each other in high school, but it didn’t affect Johnny’s happy life. Then, one night changed everything. When he was 18 and attending as a freshman at La Fiesta Tech, he got attacked by nine people and stabbed on his abdomen due to a hate crime against alien sims. When his blood ran down, the culprits threw him into the smelly and filthy dumpster. He fell into a coma, but luckily for him to have alien blood, he recovered very quickly and regained consciousness after five days. But since then, he has Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. He got Minor Depression and having suicidal thoughts as well.

However, everything gets better when all of them get together. They’re having medical treatments for their mental and physical condition, counseling, and group therapies. They’re completing each other and have special bonds. Their stories might be different, but that’s what makes them united besides their love for Bentley cars. Together, they learn to be stronger, nicer, wiser and be a better person. They also want to recover from their past traumas through medications and strong friendships.

In the end, they learn to let go and forgive everything in their pasts. They realized it’s useless to blame themselves, and everything happens for a reason. Because the past doesn’t define who they are. Trauma might be hard, but eventually, they have to face them instead of avoiding them. That’s the meaning of growing up, healing the wounded souls, and moving on. They never stopped chasing their dreams despite their disabilities and keep supporting each other just like a real family.

And it was an early fall in Bridgeport, Sim City. At the anniversary of their establishment of Bentley 8 and Im-perfection community, they decided to go to a resort. They had some fun there. Angela made grilled salmon and cheesesteak for their lunch. Johnny and Dirk played soccer. Meanwhile, Ripp, Dustin, Ophelia, Lilith, and Puck roasted some marshmallows. When they are together, They’re creating memories because tomorrow is never guaranteed. But, no matter what happens tomorrow, they are grateful to still have each other.

"The past can't haunt me if I don't let it

Live and learn and never forget it

Whoa, gotta learn to let it go

Learn to let go, learn to let go

Learn to let go" - Kesha, 2017

[that-devout-catholic-woman]

Hello! So I’m just wondering about your stance on the LGBTQA+ community and how your stance is validated from a catholic pov. No hate here; i’m just curious. Thanks!

Hello, anon :)

In this regard I follow what the Catechism of the Catholic Church has to say about it which is that we should respect them and love them as Christ does, but that engaging in same-sex sexual acts is prohibited. I myself am bisexual and abide by these rules. Those of us who follow the Church’s teachings on the matter despite being in the community are known as “side B.”

“Chastity and homosexuality

2357 Homosexuality refers to relations between men or between women who experience an exclusive or predominant sexual attraction toward persons of the same sex. It has taken a great variety of forms through the centuries and in different cultures. Its psychological genesis remains largely unexplained. Basing itself on Sacred Scripture, which presents homosexual acts as acts of grave depravity,140 tradition has always declared that "homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered."141 They are contrary to the natural law. They close the sexual act to the gift of life.They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved.

2358 The number of men and women who have deep-seated homosexual tendencies is not negligible. This inclination, which is objectively disordered, constitutes for must of them a trial. They must be accepted with respect, compassion, and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided.These persons are called to fulfill God's will in their lives and, if they are Christians, to unite to the sacrifice of the Lord's Cross the difficulties they may encounter from their condition.

2359 Homosexual persons are called to chastity. By the virtues of self- mastery that teach them inner freedom, at times by the support of disinterested friendship, by prayer and sacramental grace, they can and should gradually and resolutely approach Christian perfection.”

In a similar way, Catholics believe God didn’t make mistakes in creating our physical forms and as such condemns reassignment surgeries and treatments, while still calling us to love and respect those who suffer from gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria is a mental illness, same as anxiety, depression, bipolar, etc. and as such needs the help of trained medical professionals who can gently help those suffering from it find healing. There have been many studies showing that even after reassignment surgeries and such people still are plagued by self-loathing, depression, anxiety, etc. showing that it’s not a viable solution to gender dysphoria.

[everybodys-therapist]

So I haven’t watched Skam since the OG and now that there is a brand new season I’m freaking out. Especially since it’s about hearing loss which is another topic near and dear to my heart. I don’t have any friends that follow Skam or anything anymore. Anyone want to become friends so I have someone to talk to about all of this. This is a terrible show to watch all alone. 😬😬

I’m from the United States. I’m 23. I have bipolar disorder (which is actually relevant for anyone reading this who doesn’t watch the show), bisexual, and my aunt/second mother is an asl interpreter and mental health liaison, so Skam holds a super special place in my heart.

So yeah. I loved the og Skam and I want to love this season too. If anyone is interested in talking about this new season and stuff shoot me a message. 😬😬😬

[raynes-musings]

Rayne, can you tell us about yourself?

Ah-  sure, why not!

Well, my name’s Rayne; that isn’t a pseudonym or alias  -  though most my close friends call me Ray. Though being I’m trans  &  very much ‘in the closet’ at home, currently, it isn’t my legal name. Pronouns are he/him, strictly.

I honestly look a lot younger, according to most people, than I am, but I’ve been told that I come across as way older personality-wise. For the curious: I’m 20 and my birthday’s on April 28th. My ‘various alignments’, if you’re into that stuff, are as follows:

Zodiac: Taurus

Moral Alignment: True Neutral

Personality Type: INFP-T

Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw (I don’t Harry Potter but I’ve taken the test)

I’m proudly bisexual, as well as polyamorous. I’ve been dating my current partner  (Kerri  /  Luka  /  @lukas-musings)  for over 3 years. Our anniversary is in late October. My metamour’s name is Jacob, and he’s an absolute sweetheart too.

While those darlings live down south, I was born and raised in a very small town, in the upper peninsula of Michigan (United States). That’s still where I’m currently living, with my mom and great-uncle.

I have three half-brothers, two older than me (Ryan & Alexander) and one younger (Steven); only the youngest still lives in town. I also have two ‘quarter siblings’  —  my half-brother’s half-siblings)  —  though I’ve not seen the brother (Austin) since I was little, and I’ve never met the sister (Nikki) in-person. Our family tree, as you’ve likely gathered, is a bit of a mess.

Both of my parents are cancer survivors, though my mother’s is (unfortunately) currently ‘active’ again. If I mention being stressed, or am straying away from discussion of illness, this is a large part of why.

Personally, I’m anemic (iron deficient), and have nerve damage in my hands/wrists that results in chronic pain. I also have severe anxiety, bipolar depression, PTSD, and a host of currently-undiagnosed problems.

I absolutely adore writing, and hope to be an author someday. I also run quite a few different RP blogs, though I’ve not been very active on those due to how stressful and busy ‘real life’ has been. I semi-frequently write poetry, which I have a DeviantArt account for if anyone ever wants that link.

My main hobbies, outside of those already mentioned, include: listening to a wide variety of music, reading, playing with my cats, and obsessing over fictional characters.

Annnd I’m gonna cut this off here, ‘cause I’m not sure what else to add. If anyone’s got specific questions about me, my ask-box is always open to those!

As a pan/bi bipolar person I just wanted to say thanks for your replies to the Elliot season anons. I literally raged about what happened to Sana’s season and I’m rooting really hard for Imane to get a massive upgrade storyline-wise - there needs to be room on TV for bisexuals and bipolar people AND POC Muslims so let’s unite against the time devoted to toxic white heterosexual romances

YES. I am really hoping Imane gets her season to herself (which David had said she would). However I would LOVE to see some more time spent exploring Eliott’s life in the future. And yes, there is definitely room for BOTH. People completely dismissing mental illness as an irrelevant topic is…problematic to say the least. - C.

► HEADCANONS/FUN FACTS

someone who went through the red room, nadia has remained surprisingly optimistic and upbeat. she never judges any of the other survivors for how they have responded but for nadia she has had to keep her head up to move forward

nadia was always fascinated by her father and idolized him. learning that he had flaws and was human was a little hard to handle and meetinng him was overwhelming

her favorite color’s are orange and red ( in that order )

she can eat more than almost anyone due to having a super high metabolism and loves anything fried or greasy

being the wasp is her favorite thing ever

no matter how busy she gets with the champions, nadia will always prioritize the girl lab initiative as promoting female scientists are important

jarvis pretty much keeps her alive and nadia sees him as a father figure

matt murdock was her immigration lawyer / legal help as she was a russian citizen and not legal in the united states until they were able to prove her as the biological daughter of henry pym. nadia almost ruined that, however, as she never attended her meetings on time

she reads kamala’s fanfics loyally

janet of earth-616 is the only mother figure that nadia has ever known and she took the van dyne last name in her honor

nadia had a huge crush on ying and it was slightly a bummer when she started dating priscilla but she’s happy for both of her friends

her bipolar disorder was one she wasn’t prepared for. nadia wasn’t aware of how unhealthy she was until it was nearly too late. she wants to stay on top of things because she likes being alive, so that means staying medicated and weekly therapy appointments. it’s important she remembers to slow down sometimes.

she has a very bad coffee addiction and can live on it

scott lang has been like a father figure ever since they went on a mission together

for accessibility reasons nadia keeps a quantum lab in a crystal necklace

dating sam is her first real relationship

when she’s having a hard time her mind gets stuck in russian

the vision is her nephew & viv is her great-niece and she considers them family

Skam Italia & Mental Health

So since the last 2 clips came out some stuff has happened & I've had a lot of thoughts going through my head that I'm gonna attempt to let out now. I am going to talk about mental health and self harm is mentioned so be warned.

I've always found it funny how much I've related to Martino. I mean I've seen this storyline play out before, but I never related to Isak, just some of the issues playing out. The tweaks they've made to the Italian version though are enough for me to find myself in Martino. I'm bisexual, now 25 but I came out at a similar age to Martino. I lived at home with just my mum, I still do actually but more on that in a moment. My mum happens to struggle with depression, has occasionally had bipolar tendencies, and my dad has suffered long term with mental health issues, our relationship has always been strained until the last few years actually. Martino's situation speaks so much to me, his anger & frustration with his mother, the turmoil of keeping in a secret, the lack of sleep. I have been there, know the rollercoaster all too well. Teen me would watch Skam Italia with tears in her eyes wanting to scream at the screen, 'I know Martino, it's okay, you're not alone.'

But then there's Niccolo. And I've found myself relating to him more as I am now and as the episodes have gone on. I have dealt with depression since I was a child and even considered suicide as a pre-teen. (Now I don't say this to be shocking or for attention, although some people still think that. It's just that through those experiences I've learned being as open and honest helps me not bottle everything up which is something I really struggled with. Everyone deals differently though and I respect that.) I went to group therapy in school and was seen to at a specialist unit. Talk Therapy generally worked for me, I used the techniques through high school and beyond. But this year my mental health has taken a truly great landslide. It's sort of been inevitable, I deal with chronic illness and it can be very isolating and confusing. This year I started suffering with severe panic attacks where I've hurt myself. I started meds & they have helped but it's slow progress. I relate to Niccolo because of the fear that he has. I struggle to keep a job with my chronic illness as is, now I have depression on top. I worry I'll never find anyone who will deal with my shit. I have grand plans to move out one day but fear that will never happen because of my illness. My dad has BPD and I've seen how that affects his relationships, not just romantic but with me too. I get why Niccolo cuts off communication for a while, I've done very similar myself. I understand why he sticks with Maddalena because you stick with the grooves and patterns you know when your brain is communicating something that makes no sense.

Now to last night and some sort of a point I'm making. I loved how much love there was in Friday night's clip. It was a lot less intense than the original but way more comforting I felt.

That same evening I had a few hours of restlessness followed by thoughts of hurting myself. Literally felt like I was in a black void but I had no reason to feel that way, and hurting myself would at least give me a reason. I've always been logical even when comes to emotion but I hate how my depression can turn around and use that against me. That's just damn evil. Now my flat (apartment to anyone pretty much outside the UK) is very small but getting across the tiny hall to my mum's room took a ridiculous amount of effort. But I did it and I got in bed and just said I was having a shit night, she just held me with no questions asked.

Here's the thing we forget with Martino and Niccolo or Isak and Even. Sometimes you're going to be one and sometimes you're going to be the other. Your Martino or support will come in so many different forms. I just feel like people watching, especially teens, need to know that romantic love isn't exactly the key to the situation here, it's just love. It was strange waking in a bed I'm not used to but I could hear my mum already up and doing housework. She came through to wake me and we sat and played with the cat and talked about the night before, she was just like I know, it's shit, it happens. And that was enough. Sometimes it's just knowing that she's there and there's love there, that's enough.

Of course watching the next clip was just lovely and exactly what my brain needed. Just like a little confirmation.

What I do want to say is that I've found my voice again and actually managed to confront my depression because of how everybody is sharing their stories in this community and I want to thank you so much for that. You never expect something like a TV show to stem such a reaction but it's lovely and I'll never forget what this bizarre phenomenon has done for me. I want to say this is an open and safe space if you ever need to talk to someone, I am here for you. It's my little way of repaying this community.

Thank you if you read this, tbh it's likely a bit of a ramble but its helped me if anything.
