Good, just left lunch.. how are you?
Physically, very bad. Mentally also very bad. Emotionally surprisingly good because I had an interaction with someone today that made me feel very good :)
not great. but doing better than i was before
Pretty good, I settled my differences with someone who caused me problems, and he told some really funny stories that made me laugh so hard. I’m starting to see him in a different way, and I think he’s a decent man who is actually pretty funny.
doing ok! im pretty bored but i'm trying to get volunteer hours in to make up for that boredom! how are you doing dude?
I'm glad that you are doing alright, enjoy your volunteer work. Don't overwhelm yourself.
thx dude :D its actually pretty fun. hbu? how are you doing :D
Load More Replies...oh :( i hope whatever pain, physical, mental, or emotional, will go away soon for you
I’m feeling bad. My bff ran away irl and no one knows where they are. 😭😭
Oh I’m so sorry Marion. Do you want to talk about it? Email is fine too
I feel like killing myself :) i probably should
No. You're not allowed to. <3 The plan is going to work, and everything is going to be ok soon.
May, please. I promise, it's gonna be ok. I'll be right here, I'll check BP whenever I can. I know it's really fvcking scary, but like you said, this weekend is the perfect time to go through with the plan.
It is. I promise. As soon as you get to Washington, it's going to be so much better. You can get whatever clothes you want, you'll get cleared for HRT, you'll be free from your parents.
It will. Please, just call CPS. I promise they'll get you out.
They will. Every case I've found, they side with the child. They'll listen to you, they have to. Even if you don't have physical evidence, you have more than enough behavioral evidence.
It's all on the doc. Antisocial behaviors, disconnect, an aversion to your family, etc. They'll listen to you and they'll believe you.
Why the heck would they listen because I'm not social? Lol. And what do you mean by disconnect
They look for specific antisocial behaviors that indicate abuse/neglect, and I mean, like, 'shutting down' or trying to emotionally distance yourself from the situation, if that makes sense? (but again, these are just a few examples)
I'll be right here, ok? I know you probably still can't call me, but the offer stands if you're not ready to call CPS yet and you need to talk to someone.
I just need to think about what to do for a little bit. Anything you want to talk about?
That's ok. And uhhh nothing in particular, hbu? I'm currently switching between homework, finding the right pants for my halloween costume, and working on another custom I've been procrastinating on lol
Ok :) also wtf bp cut off half my comment, I also said "this might sound kinda silly but I know some good asmr channels if you need something like that"
It's usually, like, sounds that are supposed to make you have this weird tingly feeling? idek lol... the channels I like are mostly just ✨positivity✨ and ✨cozy vibes✨ and talking to you until you pass out, with a bunch of funny triggers like writing on your face and inaudible whispering and stuff... it sounds really weird but it's actually kinda nice :)
Keep checking every few minutes if you want, I'll tell you when I do something. Thanks for being here for me <3
Of course <3 I’m really glad you’re comfortable talking to me about it, I’ll keep checking in.
I don't literally mean every few minutes btw I meant like maybe once or twice an hour lol
Hey May, just wanted to check in again :) I might have to get offline soon, but I’ll probably be available for a while longer (like an hour or so? Maybe longer? Idk. Anyway, how are you rn?)
No worries, I’m glad you got some sleep :) do you still want to go through with the plan this weekend, or do you need some more time? Either way is fine.
IDK. I came up with a plan that doesn't involve injury though
Oh and also the other site I told you about? Like 10 people, some of which my "friends" literally tried to bully me off because I'm trans and also a few of them think I'm annoying without explaining why 💀
That’s such bullish!t… people need to grow tf up and get out of their little cishet bubbles
And of course dp/Wade participated in it because he's the actual worst
Ugh I’m sorry :( btw did you join trevorspace? There have been one or two incidents with trolls since I joined, but they got shut down REALLY quickly
Not yet, I will once I'm not busy with all this s**t :)
Hmm idk… what would be the easiest time for you? Maybe if you have a chance to be home alone?
Ok, here’s an idea: pack a bag with everything you need (phone and charger, spare clothes, some water and maybe food, whatever you might need) and get out while you’re family’s asleep. Once you’re away from your house, call CPS.
Hmm ok… on second thought idk if you should lie to CPS about that, if they find out that you were lying it could really mess up your case. If you have evidence of threats, though, that’s enough. Is there any way you’re able to get away? Maybe going somewhere on your own, or with friends, during the weekend? It’ll make it a lot easier if you’re able to get out of the house and away from your parents before calling CPS
Sh!t.. ok, when do you leave the house? Do you go with your parents when they get groceries or anything like that?
Alr when you have an opportunity to get out of the house, try to get alone for long enough to call CPS… or, you could tell your parents you’re going for a walk, and do it then?
You have a recording of threats. You’d almost certainly show the behavioral signs I talked about earlier. They’re required to respond to any reports of abuse/neglect, so even if you don’t have 100% concrete proof they still have to listen to you and give you a chance. Trust me, you have enough.
Not threats. Admitting to a singular threat and claiming it was the only one
Alr I need to go offline now, I’ll message you as soon as I wake up. Personally I think the best plan would be to say you’re going for a walk, and then call. Also pack a bag, if you’re able to do that without getting caught. Gn <3 (even though it’s not night for you lol)
It’s still enough. Just tell CPS the truth, it’ll all turn out ok. (Also, another idea- if your whole family is going somewhere and you know they’re not going to cancel it, fake sick. I think there are safe ways to make yourself throw up. That way you’ll get a chance to stay home while they go somewhere)
May those aren't your friends those are s****y people. Please get off that site it seems really bad
May I know you don’t know me well but please call cps. It can only do you good. We’re all here for you <3
:) my favorites are Luna Bloom (who does a lot of positivity stuff, but also curses a lot lol, here's a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5zbwaf3pi8) and Gibi ASMR (who's very... professional? idk how else to describe it. She does sooo many different themes/styles that it's hard to pick just one video to recommend)
You can sleep in Seattle but you can also sleep in Oklahoma and as someone who isn't taking their meds because they're lazy at least one of us needs to sleep
They're not even actual meds it's just mugwort tea and anyways I've been getting at least a couple hours of sleep without it I think. Also being tired helps me dissociate so I don't have to experience life (being able to dissociate on purpose is the best fast forward button) and I'm always too tired to go get it once I should. I'm really using all of my energy to just continue being alive, expecting me to function might be a bit over the top
I want to play in f*****g traffic and i probably will because I can't escape and life is s**t
You'll be okay, we can still get you out. Have you tried anything yet? Also, I was serious about the suicide thing. I've attempted and I'm willing to try my best to keep living if you are
Suicide thing? Also, how do I get out? Everything I can think of would just make it worse
Yeah like if you don't try to kill yourself, I'll hold off on doing it. Ideally you call cps, but if you have a better idea go for it.
You better not do it ever. And if I call CPS, they won't believe me. I have no proof and it would make everything worse
Thank you that has fixed my brain problems (I'll definitely wait until you're in Seattle and safe and at that point I might be doing better mentally and if I'm not at least you'll be there) and CPS will believe you, especially if you fake more proof than you have (and you have it) which you should do. It might not make stuff worse, there's a chance your parents realize that for you to call cps they might be doing something wrong, and they might be more careful with their abuse after actual authorities are called even if they don't remove you
If you kill yourself I probably near definitely will too. And when should I call?
That is the reason why I'm not gonna try again while you still need me. You should wait as long as possible, but once that's run out (like, to the point where you've already waiting longer than is mentally possible and healthy and are sitting down with your literal only two choices being suicide or cps) then call them, say that you're having a suicidal crisis and in an unsafe environment with emotionally and sometimes physically (right?) abusive parents/siblings and a physically abusive brother who has been allowed to continue abusing you, and if cps isn't specific to oklahoma/ you'd be safe telling them, mention that you aren't allowed to transition. Also mention the threats, and if you can, give yourself more minor injuries and blame your brother
I'll always need you. And yeah that sounds like a plan. But that will probably take a while
We'll see about that, and I'm fully prepared for that to take a while. As long as you're alive, I'm good with it. It'd obviously be great if you're happy too but as it is, alive is significantly better than not alive
Yep! Also there's updates that you need to hear about and I might be able to introduce u 2 two new people once ur in seatrle
So the transfer one is really high energy and funny (like me) and we kind of just amplify each other and do stupid s**t (we were throwing my instant hot chocolate at each other until one broke and then we made hot chocolate) and the transmasc one is really sweet and nice and sort of the voice of reason, also they're both really open to physical touch so I finally feel like I've actually gotten enough physical touch and I'm not craving it constantly it's really nice. They also have convinced me that I have adhd and apparently think that my family situation is 'unhealthy' and the transfem one accidentally stole my knife cause she took it whenever I wasn't actively using it (they both know I had been planning to kms)
Your family situation is unhealthy, and they sound fun :) can't wait to meet them. How many people IRL know about me?
Just the first friend for now (the one who's name you know) but I'm considering telling them to get their help, the transfem one has (kind of sucky) experience with the foster care system and might be able to help. She's also transfem and so are you and maybe you two could get in contact and idk talk about transfem s**t
I will! She can also only contact people through email so you two are perfect for each other
Hey, how are you doing crow? We haven't talked in a while, and I wanted to check on you.
Ikr! Do you want to talk about positive things or negative things?
I really don't want you too :) Aren't you planning to go to seattle?
A plan is a plan, as long as you are trying :) Anything positive happen this week?
Sorry to here that, anything you are looking forward to? Can be as far in the future as you'd like :)
Also my family isn't actually bad I'm literally just dramatic as f**k and I misunderstand a lot of stuff, my mom isn't a wonderful parent but she isn't a bad one and I'm a pretty hard kid either way
Hey May, I just read your bio, and I know you are talking to crow rn, but I wanted to let you know I'm here if you need to talk :)
Literally everything you told me about your mom ducking sucks and she's a manipulative a*s
She's not actually that bad and she's just having a bit of trouble parenting me, the only things she's bad at are privacy, mental health, trans stuff and she's a little controlling but like not that bad, she's not manipulative
You say "the only things" then have a list of some of the most important s**t
I'm more touchy about privacy than most kids and you can't expect everyone to be perfect at boundaries with their kids, most people who aren't trans are a little bit transphobic and she's not that bad, and all parents are a tiny bit controlling of their kids by accident. The mental health stuff isn't amazing but no one's perfect
She's done some really violating things to my body after I told her not to and said I wasn't comfortable (I'm not willing to go into further detail), She used to regularly walk in on me when she knew I was changing and refuse to leave and then got mad at me and started insulting me when I snapped and started screaming at her (she hasn't done it since then tho) she doesn't trust me in any way and has always been very nosy about how I spend my time (not only does she have access to my location and quiz me on it every 20 minutes when I'm on my own, she also requires that I periodically tell her where I am without her asking, which would be reasonable if I didn't already tell her exactly where I plan to go whenever I leave the house) and she used to need to know everything I read, watched, and listened to so she could do the same and then judge me for it. Nothing is really that bad but I personally really value privacy and it's definitely a big issue for me
Yeah but she's not very bad either, most people with her as a parent would be doing fine and just mildly annoyed
You can do bad things without being a bad parent, and nobody is perfect
Yes really, and even if you could use that excuse, your household is still unsafe for you and damaging both physically and mentally
All of that after you adjust to your new home and get a therapist and stufd
You bring up a problem. What home? How do we know anyone is looking for a child around there? Do you know someone I could live with or something?
People everywhere are looking for kids, and Seattle has a ton of gay couples looking to adopt so you'd have a great chance of landing in a super accepting home and to live in Seattle you need to exercise at least not obviously transphobic. I have very little knowledge about foster care and adoption, I'll definitely have you talk to my camp friend, she'll probably help
Big. It's nice ig, my teachers are all great, I kind of just dissociate the time away because I'm not really enjoying life unless I'm spending it either at my nature camp or with one of the four people I genuinely enjoy being around (I've discovered recently that depression makes me super super picky about who I put energy into, I've started kind of hating everyone who isn't one of four people and the only reason I interact with most of them is cause I don't want them to feel bad and they want to talk to me)
It totally is, I've always felt way more at home and safe in nature. It's also very interesting and pretty and generally good
Yeah. We figure out how to meet up, either through the art thing or by you volunteering at the place I work for (it's free and we need more volunteers). Depending on whether or not you get exactly where you're aiming for there's a small chance you'll end up at my school too which would be fun
Also apparently some people think freckles are ugly?? I knew this peripherally but now I'm actually thinking about it and first of all what the f**k like freckles give faces life second of all freckles make everyone automatically nicer to look at, like I have freckles and beyond just me thinking I'm the epitome of human beauty I actually do like the way they look
Ok what?? My partner has freckles and they're the cutest, who tf thinks it's ugly??
You and my ex agree (: idk if they suit my face incredibly well (I contradict my perception of my body and attractiveness constantly) but they're a great concept and I love them in genersl
I can't tell you their names but I made a transmasc and transfem friend at the same camp the guy I'm alterous crushing on is at (we didn't talk much unfortunately but he's still really pretty and cool and if I have a chance to talk to him more and he seems interested I definitely want to be his friend) and they're amazing and I love them I'm gonna send a second comment actually giving u info abt them
I think I'm going to do it. Killing myself is basically the only answer. I'm sorry
F**K LIFE AND F**K EVERYTHING IT ALL F*****G SUCKS AND I CAN'T GODDAMN ESCAPE AND I CAN'T WITH THIS. F*****G GOD I WANT YO SCREAM AT MY FAMILY RIGHT NOW AND PLAY IN TRAFFIC EVERYTHING IS F****D UP AND MY LIFE IS RUINED AND I'M SUPPOSEDLY PLAYING VICTIM FOR SAYING A DAMN THING WELL GUESS WHAT I DON'T GIVE A F**K
The only traffic you will be playing in in Mario Kart once you have escaped and we can play together online.
Load More Replies...Nope. Mario Kart. I'm terrible at it, but maybe you can teach me :)
I'M HURTING SO MUCH AND EVERYTHING I DO MSKES IT GODDAMN WORSE
I'm so sorry I'm late, I just woke up, but I'm here now, please talk to me. I can send you my number- I know you've said no before, and I'm sorry I keep asking, but I just want to talk to you, you don't have to agree but I just want to offer again.
May, please, talk to me, call a hotline, whatever. I promise, the plan will work, it's gonna be ok, please be ok
I'm here if you want to talk about anything, I'll check my phone asap tomorrow. Even if you dont want to talk about brain stuff I have some positive news and good stuff for you to look forward to in Seattle if you want a distraction. Also I misread the time I still have 10 minutes (it's still totally okay if you don't get online until after that)
My phone shuts off in 5 minutes but if you see this, I've been having a bit of a suicidal crisis too and I can promise you that I won't kill myself if you can promise that too, we can talk tomorrow evening. I love you and I know you can get through this, I know it's really scary but you can do it and I promise it's going to work out. Please stay with me
IDK fijfjxhxzbj I'm not good at talking to people
That's ok. I'm right here, you can take your time. I might be a little slow to respond because I'm working on class stuff rn, but I'm not going anywhere.
I know it seems like that's the easiest option, or even the only option, but I promise it'll get better. I know it's so fvcking unfair that you have to go through all of this, but I'll do whatever I can to help. I wish I could be there irl <3
Keep going. Call CPS, get out, get to Washington. You can get cleared for HRT, buy whatever clothes you want, and... do you want me to do some research into legally changing your name? I could add that to the doc, if you'd like
Sure :) but I have no proof and four people against me
Ok :) you don't need concrete proof, CPS will want your account (as in, your story, not your BP account lol) and the recording is just a bonus. I'll look for more specific examples when I have a chance, I'll let you know what I find.
But four other people are against me, which kinda matters here, and the recording is just her admitting to threatening to kick me out once and saying it was the only time
Yeah, that's tricky... again, I'll research some examples and see if I can find any similar cases. Regardless, the entire point of CPS is to protect you. If you report something like this, they'll guarantee your safety before sorting everything else out, and we can work from there.
There's no proof of that. There's so many stories of CPS doing the opposite
I'll look into it when I have a chance. I have to do some school stuff rn, but I'll be free to research it in a few hours max. I'm still here to chat though, if you want to <3 (ooh, good news- I might have found a way to watch the Hunger Games movies, I know you said I need to watch them before Songbirds and Snakes)
Hm idk, what kind of movies do you like? Also if you haven't already you need to watch the Barbie movie
Idk, I'll watch pretty much anything, although I usually can't watch anything that my siblings can't watch. My favorites are Princess Bride and POTC. I have watched the Barbie movie, it definitely wasn't what I was expecting (/pos).
Hmm idk. I'm not good at recommending things sorry lol
Alr no worries :) have you ever watched Bullet Train? (One of the few movies I was able to watch without my siblings lol) it's very very bloody but the way it's set up is really cool (idk how to explain it)
Basically, a bunch of secret agents stuck on a train together. But there are all these crazy reveals and weird connections, and a lot of "oh he's dead- never mind he's alive- no wait he's dead- aaand he's alive again"
Another recommendation (and this is going to sound pretentious af lol, once I start talking about directors) is M. Night Shyamalan movies. My favorites are Unbreakable and The Village, I've also watched Sixth Sense and Signs. They're all really interesting, and the endings are crazy. Also (and this is going to sound even more pretentious) I took a theater tech class for a little while and the use of color theory in those movies is really good (holy s**t I'm such a nerd)
Also being a nerd isn't bad I'm like a f*****g mega nerd
I F*****G LOVE M. NIGHT SHYAMALAN especially the village, signs, and old
WAIT FR :D eeeeee that's so cool, I've met like two other people who have watched these movies, the village is so goodddd
fr, after Unbreakable and Sixth Sense I knew it was going to have some crazy twist but I was NOT expecting THAT
Basically a bunch of people get trapped while on vacation on a beach where time is sped up by a crazy amount so they all age super quickly and the end is amazing
Ooh that sounds really interesting, I'll try to watch it! :)
Ok :) and you should watch Unbreakable and/or Sixth Sense, I want to know what you think. Anyway I have to go offline for a little while but I'll be back in... three hours max? Probably less? Ttyl <3
Also I just watched the trailer for Old and it looks so good! I can't wait to watch it :)
Added a little info (and a resource) on name changes, I’ve been pretty busy today tho, but I’ll keep looking
Please don’t <3 I think the name stuff can wait, I’ll look into CPS cases so we can get the essential research done asap. Do you want to try to get out this weekend, or is that too soon?
I want out as soon as possible but I have basically none of the cat stuff btw, my parents get him food and that's basically it, they don't really care. Now that I think about it I don't think he's even been to the vet in like 4 years
Hmm ok I’ll see what I can do… in the meantime, make sure you know where they keep the food, so you can pack some, and see if you can do some digging without getting caught and find any vaccination records for the cat, I think I forgot to put that on the doc
Ok. When this is all settled, you’ll probably get access to them anyway, dw about it. My battery’s low again, so I’ll finish up the research when I get a chance. Ttyl <3
<3 I'll start researching official name changes and specific CPS cases for you, I need to get some lunch first but I'll be back asap
I haven't seen either of those yet, but all his movies have great twists.
Ooh they're so good, Unbreakable is kind of a superhero movie, and Sixth Sense is about a kid who can see ghosts
Also one thing about signs is what dumbass alien goes to a planet where 70% of the surface is lethal to them lol
May, what shows do you like to watch, I don't think we have had a conversation recently so I wanted to ask.
I just went on WJE and it looks like BP's doppelganger, instead of the trolls being hated for being a**holes, the decent people are hated for being respectful, Wade is like the Nathaniel of that site. (btw, where is Nathaniel?) If you want to talk to someone, I can talk about (almost) anything.
Echo chambers like wje are a breeding ground for bigoted bs, but honestly I'll just leave this one alone as long as it distracts the trolls and hopefully gets them off BP. And I just checked Nathaniel's account, it says he was last online three weeks ago? Which doesn't make any sense, I could have sworn I've seen him recently...
Load More Replies...Don't believe what Wade says about you, he doesn't care who he hurts as long as he can laugh at them. Wade, if you see this, go step in a bucket of Lego.
The more I look at that site, the worse Wade seems, he is disgusting, at least he is now occupied by the echo chamber of WJE.
Pretty good actually.
why is it downvoted? not everyone has bad mental health (yk what I mean). I sort of know why it was downvoted though.
