Being in a cage is claustrophobic. Unable to move, be yourself, and it could hurt with how bent outta shape you are, jutting into your own body. It's suffering.

That's how i think it feels to be stuck in a body that's not your own. Feeling like you're living a life that's not yours, to not feel how you truly wish to feel. It's awful, everyday feels like a nagging pain that doesn't go away.

It's overstimulating. Like if you don't escape in some way, you'll either force your way out or do something to escape the pain. Like terrible coping mechanisms or even taking your own life.

It's bad, I know. It hurts, I know. Even though I'm just a random person on the internet, even if I'm not exactly the best person to offer the help, just know that you can always be who you truly are around me. That you're not alone, and I'll be here to help in some way. I'll try my best to always make you as comfortable as possible.

Words are hard, I apologize. I just hope I give off the right vibes. I'm here for all of us, and I never want anyone to feel like they can't be themselves around me. Even if it takes time, that's fine, too. If I'm able to make you guys feel even a little bit safe around me, that alone will make me happy.
