Mental Health

The day the world ended. And life started.

It was 1992 when I hit puberty. The Internet was just becoming a thing.

I grew up in a very religiously conservative household and community.

My Story of Getting Depressed

I’ve recently discovered that I’m gay, you know like the usual thing that happens during high school when you figure out the person that you and figure out what to do for the rest of your life. Well, mind didn’t really go ask I wanted to.

Vincent Marchisello opens up about his experience with coming out and being a Christian. He discusses his struggles with depression stating, “There was one day I was really done…

You’re Not Cis, You Just Think You Are: My Enby Epiphany

I suppose if you’re cis (or just think you are), you want to know how people come to this type of conclusion about ourselves.
