So at 42 years old, I’ve just booked my first train ticket. As a result of my mental health I’ve always avoided the train for fear of just getting in the wrong train and ending up somewhere I don’t want to be (stupid I know). Now I’ve done it though, I’m already worried 😟

I think the reason my mental health is so bad is because I’m lonely. I don’t have many friends and while I want to go out and make more, the idea of doing so makes me so panicked, I can’t face it so I cancel plans & just end up wallowing with my own company. I wish I were normal.

I really don’t get why gay guys feel the need to body shame and attack other gay guys. It’s not like there aren’t enough people lining up to attack us already without us turning on each other. If you don’t like a guys body etc that’s fine but there’s no need to be a dick about it

After showing off my flabby body yesterday, thought I’d better keep some clothes in today. Also new glasses, finally bitten the bullet and got my first pair of varifocals (yep I’m that old), they’re taking some getting used to

12 years ago today I ended a 6 year toxic relationship. I lost my home, my friends and literally had to start from scratch. Fast-forward to now I have a great partner, own home, good career and am happy. Sometimes you just have to make a change, regardless of how tough it seems.

I’ve been told so many times that asexuality doesn’t exist, that I’m just a prude, scared of sex, a freak etc and it always surprises me. I just don’t understand how me being ace and not wanting to have sex can be so upsetting to someone. What is it exactly that’s so offensive?

Today I’m not okay. If you ask me I will say I’m good as that is what you want to hear. I will act like I’m fine because that is what society expects. I will carry on with a smile, so as not to make you feel down. I will cry in private so as not to embarrass you but I am not okay

Ever since I opened up about being asexual, I’ve had lots of comments, messages, opinions and questions about what it is. Why I’ve “chosen” to be asexual. How i’ll stop being asexual when I meet the right person and how asexuality isn’t a real thing. Asexuality is an umbrella…

I’ve often struggled to understand/identify with and relate to the gay community. Certainly when I was younger, while I obviously knew other gay people, none of them seemed to be like me. They all seemed to be hooking up regularly and I just had no interest in that. 1/

@midosommar As an asexual gay man I’ve used Grindr occasionally to meet and chat with others who identify as LGBTQIA+. I’ve been able to chat with others who accept that I’m never going to hook up with them but that I want to know other local people in the community. I guess it comes down…

For the past few years anxiety and depression have been ruining my life. Yet often when I mention it, people will still say “man up” or “stop worrying about things” like it’s a choice I’ve made. In the same way that people don’t choose to get Diabetes or Cancer, I didn’t decide…

Sometimes I wish I wasn’t asexual. Whenever anyone mentions asexuality, it’s mostly rude or as a joke, I’m constantly made to feel like my asexuality isn’t valid because people think there’s something wrong with me rather than trying to understand what being ace actually is.

After my panic attack at the start of last week, I’ve started to have multiple ones a day again now and my mental health just really isn’t good. Spoke with my GP and I’m now on an even higher dosage of Sertraline, I had hoped I’d be coming off them by now

You are not fat. You have fat around your body, but you are not fat. You also have finger nails but you wouldn’t ever describe yourself as them. Your personality makes up more of you than your body shape ever will so be a good person, it’s way more important than your body fat

I remember as a young child, back in the 80’s asking my father what a gay person was. While his response could have been as simple as explaining that it’s two men who love each other, instead he explained it as something that was wrong and unnatural. That was my first experience…

People think that to be lonely you have to be alone. I’ve found out through experience though that you can be lonely in a room full of people, for real loneliness is found in the knowledge that nobody cares if you are around or not.

Because that ultimately leads to an easier life. And as such I think this is the first time I’ve ever mentioned it publicly and I’ll probably regret doing so later, but with it being Asexuality awareness week it seemed like a good time to do so. 10/10

When my anxiety is at its worst, I shut myself off from everyone because I worry that I’m going to be a burden or bring them down. While I agree it’s important to talk, at that point it’s often the last thing I want to do. Sometimes I just need a hug & to be told it will be okay
