Thinking

I haven't used this site in a while.
During the year I had a lot of self reflection. I realized a lot of stuff about myself I would have never knew if I hadn't took that break.

During the year I was diagnosed with DID, depression, and Autism. I was already diagnosed with ADHD beforehand.

I've had a couple talks with my parental figures and family recently. Almost all of them are homophobic.

I'm nonbinary and a pansexual. Only my friends and cousins know. My family wants me to be more "girly". They believe God made only two genders, they support the transgenders, and when I told them I was a furry they were okay with it (except my mom and stepdad), but they don't support neo pronouns or nonbinary pronouns. What do I do to tell them? I'm only fourteen, Im worried I'll get kicked out or something..

Navigating multiple diagnoses all at once is exhausting enough, and while also carrying the other weight. That being said, your safety comes first. If you are genuinely worried about being kicked out you do not owe your family the truth about your non-binary identity right now. It is completely valid and smart to stay safely at home while you build your life outside. You can be fully yourself around your supportive cousins and friends. You don't have to convince them right now. Protecting your peace until you have independence could be well your highest priorities.

Best!
