It’s the current year (+ 4), so you can idenitfy as pretty much anything you want, OP.
Think you’d have better chances going gay though, or find yourself a trap.

Or go for political lesbians. They'll fuck you just for progressive points if you say you're a trans mtf attracted to women. And if they don't, ruin their lives with accusations of bigotry.

Imagine if OP was autistic and thirsty enough to try hitting on chicks in a lesbian bar/night club… Chances are he would be spending the Christmas holidays in hospital.

30 years ago maybe. In times where reality is not acknowledged, it's all about framing.

I've got a serious, legit question for the citizens of Lesbia: do women in lesbian relationships still play the same stupid games they play with men? Like are lesbians forced to deal with shit-tests? Are lesbians punished for not being psychic?

That shit. That endless, soul-crushing "I'm upset about something really trivial except that what I'm REALLY upset about is twelve layers under it and you'd better start digging, Buster!" routine. Do lesbians have to put up with that? Because if they don't, I'll fucking transition right here and now and find one of you who's drunk the Kool-Aid to suck on my "feminine penis."

Well, if you've got the time, I'd love to hear about it. And I'm sorry it happens to you ladies, as well. There's nothing quite as frustrating as knowing that the relationship you're in actually requires a literal time machine in order to come out on top, for once.

I should preface this by saying that there are no girls on the Internet, much less anyone here on 8kun, so this is all hypotheticals and guesswork, but I would assume that in a relationship between two females the confusion that arises between the different sexes cancels itself out.
time-travelling lesbians sounds fun though

Yes. Some women are like that regardless of sexuality. Still trying to figure out if there is a discernible bio difference between bro' tier lesbians (easy going, get along with men, masculine thought processes, dexterous etc), nutter lesbians (crazy, manipulative, pathological, whiny) and manhating lesbians (probably abused in the past, odious, hate men, aggressive). I suspect there is.

There was a thread over at /dup/ on tvch showing a screencap of Gahoole venting about how his semi-estranged sister now identified as a man. Could not find it now, so Gahoole or one of his jannies must have purged it. Might be someone LARPing as our dear ogre, but, big if true.

Man, that sounds really rough. Have you considered non-cerebral work? Even part time can get you out of the house, moving, and interacting with others. It can make a world of difference to your mental and physical health. An opportunity to do 'mindless' tasks (while getting paid), gives your brain a break and lets the ideas come back. It can let you begin formulating plans to retake control of your life. Never too late. Never give up.

>Have you considered non-cerebral work?
Yes. Unfortunately, it makes things worse instead of better. My eyes and hands do all the work while my brain thinks about shit that makes me sad, angry, and/or crazy, like times I was embarrassed, bullied, etc., going as far back as age 5. It's like I've got a photographic memory, but only for very bad moments in my life. When I smell, see, hear, etc. something that reminds me of these times, I end up spending seconds or minutes reliving the whole fucking event, and I'm often sad or angry when I come to.
Forgot to mention, when I was diagnosed with the Big Sad, they also casually mentioned I was a high-functioning sperg. These days, that stuff is usually caught a lot faster than they were back then, so I had none of the benefits that kids get these days. I spent my entire life making enemies while trying to make friends, and by the time of my mental breakdown, I had become almost allergic to humans.
Going shopping now is a nightmare, especially since the Coof began. Leaving the house means interaction with strangers, which I've managed to re-train myself to get through. But after 5 minutes talking with a Walmart cashier, I feel like throwing up and showering. There's no way I can work with people. Or at least not yet. I even have trouble getting together with extended family at this point in the game, because some of them have never experienced mental health issues and really don't understand why I can't just walk it off.

Have you looked into Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)? I don't know if it's bullshit but it seems to help people with interrupting thoughts and, over time, rewiring things.

Yep. Did it right after my diagnosis, and it helped, but not enough. I've been having more luck with EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), but the therapist I use for that is expensive so I can only see her a few times a year. Saw her last month and we were working on severing the ties to the place where I had my breakdown, but we ran out of time and the job's only half or a third done. I'll have to wait until late January at the earliest to resume.
