Hii

[psykei]

Hello. I go by Psykei here! I'm a soon-to-be-30yo mom living in the GTA. My partner and I have a baby boy who just turned 1. I have cyclothymia, which is a milder form of bipolar disorder. For various reasons, I cannot be properly treated for it right now. Writing helps me iron out my reactions to things and identify when my hormones are swinging.

This is a new journal but I was on LJ for 12 years.

I don't have any real demands of anyone who adds me except that they not be right-wing (sorry). I'm not a high maintenance pal - occasional communication would be great. I'm easy-going. I will update when I can and read my fl when I can. If possible I would like to get to know you for who you are, which is why I prefer to read entries about YOU and would be less likely to comment on posts about fandoms, for example. ;).

Nice to meet y'all :).

I talk about mental health - I have schizoaffective disorder. Would you like an add?

[psykei]

Sure :) thanks

Hi, I like that writing helps you iron out your reactions to things. I also write to process feelings.

I also experience mental health issues (bipolar II, anxiety/OCD) and they are often an implicit part of my thought process.

It stood out to me that Man's Search for Meaning is your favorite book because that is one of my favorite books too!

I am also low maintenance. *thumbsup*

Let me know if you'd like to be friends. :-)

[psykei]

Absolutely :)

Hi! I'm interested in being friends; I'll be getting my sociology BA in May and planning on going on to grad school for counseling psychology after that. I'm an INFJ and post about my life rather than fandom stuff. Although I'm not entirely sure my journal is what you'd be interested in reading--I just granted you access so you can see for yourself :)

[psykei]

Awesome ^_^

I'm not too picky really!! Reading about school gives me nostalgia lol

Hi, I'm also an INFP, also in the GTA (but won't come knocking on your door, lol), also very much into attachment/gentle parenting, mental health issues, psycholog and sociology. I love hearing and reading about babies/ small kids. I have a 6 year-old girl, and would love to have another child, though I'm slowly losing hope for that. I have a more detailed entry a little further down in this community, it's right here: https://addme.dreamwidth.org/363729.html Friends?

[psykei]

Absolutely!
Neat to find a pal nearby!

I have to admit I'm more of a Type A person though I'm trying to be more relaxed lol. I'm really into psychology and I am fascinated by Jung. I have several mental illnesses and I use my journal as a therapy tool and memory mechanism.

Would you like to give being friends a go?

[psykei]

Yes! :) Nice to meet ya!

Love Jung.
