You are not alone, and if you ever want to just vent, that's okay too. Take some time to look around. You'll likely see some samples of similar experiences woven in to various topics and threads. You are in a safe place, and there will be no judgement here. Kick your shoes off and fire away.

thank you.

i'm so sick of it.

Hello Over and welcome to AF!

Kichi provided a good summary of where you can change your settings, but if you need further help, don't hesitate to send me a private message (PM) Smile
As for the frustration, try out our Converts' Corner, reading other people's stories and perhaps writing your own might help.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
