I remember your last post! I'm so glad to see you posting again. It's an incredibly hard thing you are going through. I want to double down on the advice to be kind to yourself (even when friends and family will not) and protect yourself.

I can kinda relate. I'm GNC and was lost/lonely when I was late teens, I joined/left a religious cult. Maybe it might help you if frame it as joining/leaving a cult (one that has mass media favor right now cause it sells and because it is run by loud narcissistic men who have $$). I'm not the only one with this idea (Arty Morty talks about this ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcqqGJrCpFY ). In the end looking back on it twenty years later, I regret it, but at the same time it really matured me and taught me A LOT. So please keep in mind that you can grow and survive this and come out stronger.

If you can mend bridges with family please try when you are ready (most sane parents will welcome you back), your true friends will still be there, if you don't have friends you will make new ones, guaranteed (you sound very smart and thoughtful).

There are more detrans reseources now then there was even two years ago, I hope you tap into them as well. Recently, I just started watching GNC Centric on youtube, love her and the conversations she has.

Take care and hope you stick around!
