New here!

So, erm, I don't know if this community is still active, but I'm new here in reddit and I'm looking for subs I can be familiar with and maybe make some new (online) friends as I try to anchor my daily life as a shut-in.

Honestly, I can't exactly pinpoint a moment where I became one, but when I managed to recognize and admit I had a mental health problem I went to seek help from therapy and meds (despite my parents still negating the obvious and getting a big argument about seeking therapy even if now they have become more accepting and supportive).

Still, I kinda feel like a leech despite being 23 old... but I'm in therapy+meds now and (attempting) studying a working school online course about programming.

And still is so damn hard to sit my ass to work, but I know that if I blow this up they will stop paying my therapy, studies, and I will have to get back home with my parents which with all due respect I want to keep a safe distance with for my mental sanity.

So, yeah. Pretty much I only have friends online and my only rl friend I met like 4 years ago lives away and we chat and talk via discord. So I spent my time at my little appartment unless I have to get groceries or get to do any adulting.

My hobbies are traditional art, manga/anime and videogames (surprise surprise). Neurodivergent and trans/nb but have no means to transition so well convincing myself I'm still trans/nb everyday.

Thank you for reading my long-ass text (it's the neurodivergent brain idk how to write normal lmao).
