An open-ended community for asking and answering various questions! Permissive of asks, AMAs, and OOTLs (out-of-the-loop) alike.

In the absence of flairs, questions requesting more thought-out answers can be marked by putting [SERIOUS] in the title.

Doesn't have to be a big thing! For me, I just managed to handle an entire move all on my own, without help from friends or family.

I started processing trauma memories and working on maladaptive survival behaviors in January. Running and dissociating always seemed better for some reason.

I guess I was afraid I’d learn that I deserved abuse growing up. It turns out that it wasn’t about me at all.

Mindfulness practice has brought more agency and intention to my life. Despite this being the hardest and most painful thing I’ve done, it’s also been one of the most rewarding.
