Kinda hasn't been going. There's not really much I can do given my current situation, so I'm mostly just waiting for college (which is in 2 years).

There is some stuff that I "can" be doing, like voice training, but I just don't have the energy or willpower to do so. I'm trying my best, and recently my best has just been getting out of bed in the morning.

Overall, has been going pretty terribly. But I have hope that it'll get better in the future when my situation isn't so sucky.

Edit: Oh yeah I did get a therapist. They are basically everything I could ever ask for. Trans (nonbinary), ADHD, Autism (SELF DIAGNOSED which is huge), and just in general I really click with them. I don't think I could've gotten any better.

Hang in there. Hopefully therapy will make things more bearable in the meantime.
