Honestly, how are you doing?

Not the best, but not the worst.

The three main sources of my anguish have been my family, schooling, and my transition.

My family is a complicated one, but dominated by an abusive and obnoxious father. The man who "can do no wrong" by his words. Prone to beat children and threaten with violence, and yet at the same time despises those that do it to their wives (physically, verbally he just never stops). I find it ironic. I was to get out of this place, but my mother was just diagnosed with skin cancer but they caught it really early thankfully but I still want to be by her. I'll move out soon when I figure out finances.

As for schooling, I'm forced to take classes I don't see myself using and am stuck in a 3 semester bottleneck just to do comp sci. Thanks school system.

Transitioning isn't easy. Everything becomes a target of anxiety and going through the paces is one of the hardest things I've done. Remember that father I talked about? Well I'm not so sure he'll be supportive but I'm going to have to wait and see.

For something more uplifting, I have a great girlfriend and have made a best friend and they help a lot. I'm going to try and do my best in school as well, and hopefully move out in the near future.

TL:DR; Impromptu Reddit therapy, Trans, Shitty father, and University.
