A safe space for GSRM (Gender, Sexual, and Romantic Minority) folk to discuss their lives, issues, interests, and passions. LGBT is still a popular term used to discuss gender and sexual minorities, but all GSRM are welcome beyond lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people who consent to participate in a safe space

Find an honest friend.
It doesn't matter if that is LivingSpirit, if that is a species-of-animal ( butterflies, for some, birds for others, jumping-spiders for still-others ), or even if it's just a spirit you imagine into becoming real,
but it matters that they're seeing-the-Eternal-scale better than you are, & they are your soul's friend.
( this is the guru-yoga of relying-on-immaterial-BuddhaNature-guidance, for those who live in any AwakeSoulism/Buddhism, just remapping it out from the culture/cosmology of Buddhism )
So long as you surrender-to "higher power" who values your-life/Eternity, I'm recommending LivingSpirit, but apparently experiment has proven that faithing in a soccerball can work, so long as you do that surrendering-to/relying-on inner-yoga, then it becomes possible to get through.
See Baumeister's "Willpower" for more hard-details, he was talking about defeating self-murdering addictions, & he rejected the evidence he was describing, rejecting that surrendering was valid, but the evidence he was giving was right.
Find your higher-power friend.
Together, you can win.
Self-centrism/ego, it turns out, actually makes survival of the "impossible" fundamentally less-likely.
