Dallas Bragg addresses a high-functioning gay man secretly using Tina, describing the exhausting double life: the perfect job and Instagram while lying to partners, friends, and family. He says this state is unsustainable and moving toward disaster, then offers anonymous support via DM.
You are a high-functioning gay man with a great job, healthy relationships, and perfect Instagram life. But behind the scenes, you are giving in to Tina. You are lying to your partner, your friends, your family, your coworkers, and yourself. You are living your life like a plate spinner, keeping everything going in a desperate, frantic way, all under the surface. What is your rock bottom? You can miss work if you want. You have alibis. You still look great. What will it take for you to want to stop using? You know you are flirting with disaster. You know that inch by inch you move closer to everything blowing up in your face. The low-grade stress you live with is causing health problems, and emotionally you're a wreck. You can turn away from Tina, and you can do it anonymously and virtually. It'll take some work, but hear me now, it's attainable and it's possible. DM me to find out how.
