I have been struggling a lot with my mental health recently I was actually advised by my school to take a break from classes (studying to be a vet tech) due to my over all physical and mental health. I had even lost a bit of weight since the move.
But ironically now that I am moving back home to columbia,MO (my home town) from st.louis I am doing a lot better. And I do think a lot of it is from stripping, even though I have not begun it just yet or even auditioned yet. The idea of doing something I want to do for work, and something I am fairly sure I will enjoy is a really really good thing for me. And my mother although she does really entirely approve is taking a step back and letting me do my own thing and letting me be an adult.
Which is to be fair a bit surprising for me, ever since I came out to her about being polyamorous and Bisexual I have had a difficult time around her. I think in the back of her mind when she hears me say things like that. She wants to think "oh its just a phase and she will grow out of it"
She was kind of the same way earlier this year when I started learning Burlesque, and doing Drag King shows. In a lot of ways that was kind of the last nail in the coffin so to speak since well you don't need much more evidence you have a gay or bi son or daughter that wants to dress in drag.
She is even ok with me taking an interview at adult shop in town that sells adult video's and strip/burlesques clothes (they have pasties) At least in all this seems like a good start to tackling my anxiety and depression issues, what ever else I might need to work out in my life.
