Hello everyone, I'm new.
I forgot to do this introduction first, so I just jumped into chatting and answering threads to feel my way around a bit.
But here it is, my standing in the middle of the stage, pushing the red velvet curtain aside, waving to you all:
Ehem...
I'm a female human being, bisexual, lives in Norway and have *drumroll* complex PTSD. I have probably suffered from this since my early twenties, but has up until the last two years been diagnosed with depression and anxiety in different forms. I have been in treatment for the past ten ish years.
My story is long and dark and all kinds of shitty, but I'm luckily surviving it all with my sarcasm intact.
Long story short: I was raised in a religious sect, and it was like being raised in the 50's, only without the cool cars but with the violent punishments. I was sexually abused by my older brothers, and my family is pretty much psychologically f*cked up in all ways possible. I was also in a relationship for three years with someone who was violent and mentally abusive, so that was the cherry on top of all the other shit.
I'm currently living on disability, I'm in a healthy relationship with an awesome guy, and I have a couple of kids. My life is ups and downs, sleep and no sleep, sometimes good and sometimes bad, but I feel I'm handling it pretty well, considering.
I'm a bit of a nerd, and play a lot of games to distract my brain from all the feels. I love comic books, listen to a lot of music, kind of plays the piano, and get drunk on occasion. I'm liberal as they come, and I want a cat to cuddle and have paw fights with. I'm can come across as a bit direct, and I value honesty and freedom above all else.
I'm here to share experiences and find community and information, so feel free to contact me, and ask away, I'm an open book.
So there you have it *top hat off*. Bye
