So I'm new here, I found this place from the post on OOTF about C-PTSD. I've known for a while now that I have it, but finding support in dealing with it has been difficult. I want to expand my support network so that I have a variety of places to turn to for help.
About me: I am 31, genderqueer [use they/them pronouns, please and thank you], survivor of extreme childhood violence of a number of fashions, as well as severe events throughout my life.
Fun things: I'm an artist, and I like to cook. I live in the glorious South Sound of Washington with a very sweet partner. My hair is currently blue, and I have a face full of metal [piercings].
dang, i love blue hair! tried to get it once, but they made it green. not the same.
o, and by the by, welcome. glad you made it here.
Welcome, glor! We're glad you are here.
:hug:
I will try to remember "they/them"! :)
I hope you will find this place as supportive as I have. :wave:
Welcome! :wave:
Just adding in my welcome to OOTS Glor :heythere:
Welcome, glor! Hope you find lots of helpful info and support here.
Hi glor
I'm 29 genderfluid with blue hair (on half) and a face full of metal too! is Washington more accepting than other places you think? I'm living in a very small rural arm pit of the world and people look at me like I'm a circus side show...they don't even understand what "they/them" pronoun preference means! They just think I'm "gay" and "weird"...sigh
My art has suffered a lot since my diagnosis and trying to heal. How do you keep yourself continuing to create? My art used to be my saving grace, now I'm so convinced everything I do is "garbage" and "never enough" so I dont' even bother anymore "what's the point? " etc.
Welcome and hope to hear from you...*hugs*!
