    Why is veganism making me feel lonely

    Hi everyone, I recently became a vegan after being a vegetarian for years. I have a hard time with social situations and dealing with a lot of mis-understanding. My boyfriend and my parents don't understand and they find it annoying. My boyfriend does his best to support me, but when someone...

    Mental Health

    Before I went vegan, I was depressed, had an eating disorder and had anxiety. Now, 2 years of veganism later, I have never been happier and am rarely anxious.

    Dealing with Veganism, Intolerant Peers, The Pain of being powerless.

    Hi, I'm new to this forum so bare with me. I'd just like some advice from other vegans on how to 'deal' with the world around us that is so dark and cruel to animals. I'm currently 22 and have been vegan for at least 4 years now and was vegetarian for about 5 years before that, I've always loved...
