hi y'all, i'm autumn, late-20s/f, sapphic. been a looong time off and on user of the site, coming back after several months away.
i play guitar (plus a lil piano), played in a few emo and hardcore bands over the years, but really just like sad stuff the most these days
(current favs: julien baker, frightened rabbit, frail body, oathbreaker)
i also love cooking, despite that i haven't been doing it very actively recently. was in the industry nearly 14 years, spent time as a sous chef in high end at one point, but generally just have always been fascinated by food.
diagnosed basically the full alphabet, though most notably bpd, ptsd, and bipolar 1 are the reason i'm here.
been in active psychosis (where i just constantly hear my "old upstairs neighbors" from my last apartment constantly narrate/critisize me) which hasn't been fun, but neither are the meds i've been on (just started thorazine and vraylar, been on seroquel, cymbalta, focalin and depakote for a while now, plus other hormonal stuff), and basically the whole thing I've learned from years and years of clinical/hospital settings is that nothing feels good or probably ever will again (thanks 17-19yo me, for all the molly you took that most likely caused this lmao), and my body really likes giving me akathesia any chance it can get.
planning to ctb sometime soon-ish, though idk when, but been ready to go and made my peace for close to 2 years now.
i've never been one for well laid out plans, i just kinda go with the flow. like, could be tonight i ctb, could be next year, or even next decade, but idk, all i know is im gonna use ol' reliable (fent + barbituates), bc last time i tried with a similar combo, and it was incredibly gentle.
anyways, just here to hang out in the meantime, i tend to word vomit, and don't have any actual irl friends, but i promise im nice!
