When did you realize you were a sun bear?

My realization came to me at a very young age- nearly ten years ago now. Since a child, I have struggled with psychotic depression and species dysphoria. Therapy and drug trials lasting through my teenage years proved helpful with some of my manias, but not all. I remained unhappy. It was not until I was 18 that I found a therapist, Dr. Fell, who understood my identity as a kin and lead me to embrace it, not squander it. I feel like my life is finally beginning to open up and I am finally comfortable with being a sun bear, which lead to my recent creation of this blog.

Do you poop in the woods?

This is, believe it or not, my most frequently asked question. Yes, when I go camping with my boyfriend. I live in the city, not many woods to speak of, so it is not always possible. 

Do you eat an all-bear diet?

Primarily, yes, but I do breach into human substances to maintain healthy vitamin and protein levels, which are thrown off by some of my medications. I love berries and honey!

Do your parents know that you’re a bear? 

I was actually raised by my aunt and uncle, whom I do not keep close contact with these days. They are aware of my dysphoria, since it has been prevalent for quite a while. So yes, they know, but if they fully understand and accept it, I can’t say that I’m sure. Thankfully, I have some amazing friends, like cupcakekin, who support me fully, along with my boyfriend Mads, who is not kin himself, who love me and accept me for who I am. I can’t complain!
