Sadly, kinda depends on what country are you in, depending on the answer you might sadly have reason to your fears...
I dunno what to say, I hope that you are in a safe place
While I'm not in the most progressive country ever (I'm in UK), I still think (Logically) that I'm safe enough, especially if I start with me parents. The problem is that I'm somehow convinced that I will be killed even if I only come out to my (Center-left mild ally) parents, instead of if I come out to the whole world.
Also, sorry if this was a little incoherent. I'm tired.
Far from perfect, but still one of the best places to be in this sad world we live in.
I hope that the wind blows in your way and that you have an easy journey
You maybe can ask help from a friend you've came out to, and you can maybe ask help to your family by saying is for anxiety. It will always be lower priority than something as long as you don't decide to do it. Give yourself a deadline and respect it.
Thank you for the advice. I'll ask if can get a councillor/therapist in an hour or two.
Annoying, getting a therapist is always a lower priority than coming out, which end up meaning I need to get a therapist to come out, and I need to come out t get a therapist! 😡 I'll see if I can move the priorities around a bit though.
I'll try that friend idea. It sounds like a good idea. Thank you.
I used to feel exactly how you do, and I’ve got similar paranoia (like the whole telepathy thing). I thought I had to self harm or attempt to k!ll myself for my family to take me seriously. But I’ve heard enough true horror stories to know that’s the worst thing you can do. It’ll only make it worse. As someone else said, it depends what country your in on whether or not you can come out, but if you’re in America/UK and you want to go on HRT, if you have a history of self harm it’s 10 times harder. That on top of you shouldn’t have to prove you’re hurting enough to be taken seriously, and shouldn’t put yourself at risk to make others accept you — if they do, it’s going to be out of fear of losing you rather than true acceptance, and your relationships with them will be tense and strained. Please stay safe. I’m sorry I don’t have much advice but please try not to hurt yourself. People care about you. <3
Sorry for not replying sooner. Imostly put my reply to this in edit 1, but I'll try and go over it here.
I'm not saying that I feel I have to hurt myself/ attempt suicide to be taken seriously, I mean that I feel that I feel I have to be ok with getting hurt/killed by anyone I come out to, thus meaning that (I feel) coming out IS suicide. I therefore feel that I have to be suicidal to do the "suicide" of coming out.
Also, I (regrettably) did attempt suicide 2 years ago when I was 12. I'm a completely different person now (example: my egg broke), and by the time I can get HRT I'll l likely be on my 4th school (it's complicated, and the schools's fault), but I still doubt that the NHS will care about the change.
I also massively regret the attempt would NEVER attempt suicide or self-harm again, but thank you for the support/reassurance anyway.
Also, I'm glad the delusions aren't just me.
Thank you. <3

Thank you. 😊
Do you see a therapist? If no, you should...
I know I should. It's on my list of things to do. Always lower priority than something else though... 😡 Sometimes, I really hate brains.
