Name: C

Age: 34

I mostly post about: My mental health journey, primarily, day to day happenings with my family (husband L, and 2 kids, 2 & 4), and running.

My hobbies are: Videogames, watching bad disaster and action/thrillers, running, drawing, and (when I can get back to it...) dice making

My fandoms are: I don't post really about fandom stuff, but... Overwatch (and PC games in general), Futurama is my all-time favorite show, and there's a squirrel that frequents my yard that doesn't have a tail and I love them. Oh, I also really love cats.

I'm looking to meet people who: are okay with my rambling posts, and are okay if I'm an infrequent commenter. I panic a little when it comes to interacting with people, so it might take me some time to fully warm up and feel comfortable making even the most benign of comments. But I do read what people post and often want to comment but have trouble getting myself to do it. :) I'm also interested in connecting with folks going through a similar mental health journey.

My posting schedule tends to be: daily, sometimes multiple times a day depending on what's going on with my brain.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: I'm not really sure, honestly. I mean I guess if you're a big conspiracy theorist and feel compelled to post stuff about how Covid isn't real or that guns aren't a problem, we won't get along. Or if you're mean.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm pro choice and pro science. I have some kind of mood disorder (bipolar or BPD or both) that I'm currently trying to work through.

My posts are all currently public if anyone wants to poke around. I don't really have any intention of restricting them at this time. This platform is new to me so I'm still trying to work out what I want to do, or what's expected (never seen the Age Restriction option before so I'm not sure if there's some kinda etiquette there).

Alright, think that's it! Thanks for reading!

Hello & welcome! I am down with rambling posts, and I am already charmed by your squirrel friend.

I'm 35, a librarian and writer, and mostly post about daily life, books/shows/creative projects, my cat, and occasionally my strong feelings about politics. Would be happy to connect!

Hello and thank you! I've added you back, and looking through some of your posts, I think we align in a lot of areas and I love that! Also, being a librarian was my dream for so, so long. I can't think of anything eloquent to say about it, so I'll just go with that I think it's really cool that that is what you do! Haha.

I'm interested in adding you.

Added you back!

Thanks

You sound like a good and interesting person. I'm going to sign up, if you're OK with that.

Of course, happy to connect!

Your post caught my attention, and I enjoyed reading through this. You seem like a very genuine & kind person, and I would like to get to know you better. I, too, write about my mental health journey, I love animals ^^ (The squirrel fandom made me smile.), I wonder how to make dice (Do you use many materials?), and whilst being spiritual myself, I don't see science as the "enemy", but rather enjoy learning about new discoveries (esp. in the field of astronomy...).

I have BPD, amongst other disorders, too. Am currently in the ending stages of DBT, and to be honest, it helped me immensely.

So... Would you like to be friends? My name's Rina, btw. :)

Thanks for the kind words, Rina! I'd love to be friends! It's exciting to meet someone on a similar journey and can relate. I'm so pleased to hear that DBT has helped you! I'm reading a book that goes over the basics of that therapy and it's definitely helped me a ton as well -- though I would love to find a DBT group locally. I've started CBT recently and do see an improvement from that as well.

Anyway, I digress! Lol. Though I do want to say that I feel similarly in regards to spirituality and science. Science is a wonderful tool, but I also really enjoy astrology and the paranormal! My views are generally pretty flexible. I love thinking of the "what ifs" of the universe. :)

Hey! My name is Shelly and I'm 33. I also have anxiety and depression, and am looking to open up to more friends online like when I was younger (so I totally feel you on the nervous to leave comments thing!) I was wondering if you wanted to be friends?

Definitely! This is something I used to do a lot when I was younger as well, and can totally relate to wanting to connect that way again. Great to meet you! :)
