mentions of slight depression and anxiety. not actually diagnosed. d3ath. read at your own risk y'all I'm c0ming (for some reason that word is blocked) out on here, as I recently came out to my friends. not as like the lgbtq+ community way but as a therian. about one or two years ago, I learned about furries, which my parents told me were bad. I researched them a bit more and found nothing wrong with giant plushie cosplayers. I may be one of those if I'm being completely honest. diving a bit more online, I discovered therians-people who shared an emotional or spiritual connections with animals. a few days after that I had my first shift-when your animal mind takes over your human mind. and a week after that, I had officially labeled myself as a therian. during that time period I was also really depressed and anxious since I was not doing well with friends, family, or school. so that did not really help :) a few months after my friends and I had come across a therian video, and I came out to my REALLY AWESOME CLOSE friends who were extremely respectful of it. to my outer friend group I don't really trust, I'm kinda scared of them and won't be coming out for a while. and for my third friend group, majority of them were supportive, and the others were just acknowledging it, poking fun from time to time, but nothing serious. if you don't approve of that, that's fine. just move along. nothing to see here. if you don't wanna interact with me anymore, that's fine. just let me say a final goodbye. this does nothing to me and my personal identity anymore, just that i'm also accepting "it" as a pronoun (I'm just a little creature now atp), and my therian name is Nyx so I will go by that too. I was the same as I was last year but with one less secret. only a few of my very close friends know, and none of my friend's family knows, or my own family. and I'm going to keep it that way. yeah I'm also a closeted aromantic too >:) my theriotypes are a kit or arctic fox, dragon (that a valid theriotype!!) maine coon cat (?) and a type of bird...idek which one...HALP ME PLS edit: i'm a long-tailed t!t! edit: wasn't expecting all y'all to be so supportive, let alone check out this project!! been noticing a few of other people who I'm not close to have interacted w me!! TYSM <3 edit: some therians have past lives as animals. I am one of those. and I know how I unalived. as an Arctic fox, I was run over by a car. this contributes to my fear of loud noises and cars going by super fast in this life. as a bird, I was sh0t down by a couple of poachers and fell out of the sky. I'm now d3athly afraid of pew pews. like I had a family. all I remember is my vision going blurry as I was struggling to breathe. as a cat I was disowned and left to starve in an empty abandoned house. going for days without any interaction might actually explain why I like being left alone. I still don't know how I unalived as a dragon but I think I'm bound to figure it out. V here: Idk this is still kinda weird for me but BE SUPPORTIVE :D
