Does anyone know of a lithro-related discord server? If no, would anyone want to make one? I know there's a fairly solid base of lithro users on here, but I'm hoping that there's a more centralized lithro-specific server/forum. I do know about r/lithromantic but I'm hoping for something less public (or at least off a site like reddit that people tend to know about).

I totally empathize with what you're saying. I've been feeling down about it too. Ultimately, I think it's not necessarily something you need to be proud of, but it is an aspect of yourself that you have to make peace with. I've heard of lithro friends of friends who are in relationships with just very specific boundaries, so you could possibly still have a romantic relationship, if you wanted.

I don't know my specific diagnosis but I know I have a form of bipolar. I've somewhat aged out of it, though. I still get manic sometimes, but it's not super significant.

Just broke up with my second partner after realizing what I've been feeling for a few months is me being lithro. Sucks all around. I'm sure I will be able to find pride in the identity later on, but right now it's so visceral and not abstract and stuff kind of sucks. I understand that pride is meant to be despite hardship and negativity, and that it's perfectly fine to be how you are, but I feel shitty right now cause I hurt someone else and myself cause I didn't know how to deal with my own feelings. So like, I get what yall are saying, but I feel like shit in the moment.
