They have been using different labels and pronouns for a while now. They come from a homophobic, religious household limiting ways to express themselves the way they want to. I have been trying my best to help them out by giving them advice I have found from the internet (I am aware of how unreliable this could be but it's what I've got) and other people who have gone through this, yet still I am unsuccessful. They also have been under a lot of stress from the way they have been treating themselves and the way others are too. I am genuinely worried for them. I hope it isn't too much to ask but can you guys drop some more tips on how I can help them out.:))</P> Fri, 12 Mar 2021 12:18:54 GMT jack_of_hearts 2021-03-12T12:18:54Z https://forums.beyondblue.org.au/t5/supporting-family-and-friends/helping-a-friend/m-p/515254#M15650 <P>hi,</P> <P>I'm jack of hearts my friend has been having a hard time figuring out who they are.
