I spent years under a strong depression when I was in High School, I didn't take care of my appearance and that made people think I was a lesbian for some reason.

Now I'm in uni and living my best life.

I feel confident again and I get compliments on the street everyday.

I'm still very prone to depression but it isn't as strong as before, at least enough so I can take care of myself.

There was a period where I took care of my physical appearance but not my health which really affected me specially because it made people think I was fine at that point. But they were very serious issues.

I'm healthy and happy like when I was 13 and I can only regret that I allowed bullying to take that away from me.

Omg. You're beautiful. Were you able to start HRT in high school? Sorry if that's invasive, I understand if you'd rather not divulge.

Mental health can be difficult to untangle or understand even in ideal conditions, let alone when one's peers make the situation worse. I'm happy you could turn that turmoil into clarity and find some inner peace.

Also, you're gorgeous. People who discourage or bully us aren't worth a shred mental energy, but living our best lives is a nice way of telling them to "get fucked".

They were obviously jealous during your 'lesbian' phase
