Recovery Partners Megathread

[INYGTRMTFMO]

Hi, I'm in my early 30s, Southern U.S., nonbinary (but AFAB if that matters).

It'd be nice to have friends who "get it" (...or at all lmao. I am not a social person irl). My husband is a lovely person but, thankfully, does not at all understand suicidality, and me talking about suicidal thoughts or self-hatred just makes him upset and sad. "Stop thinking like that!" -- gee, that never occurred to me, thanks mate, my lifelong depression is cured. /sarcasm

I'm definitely doing better overall than I was as a teenager and in my 20s -- I have an awesome therapist, and Zoloft...works? i guess? meh. But I'm also not completely out of the woods. The bus ticket is crumpled and in a neglected corner of my wallet, but it's still in the wallet, if that makes sense. Autistic burnout is kicking my ass, but I'm still mostly functioning most days more or less.

I don't think I have PM privileges yet because I'm still rather new, but feel free to reach out when I do, or just in general I guess (still learning how this site works).

Open to chatting with anyone who also needs a friend (although English is the only language I can hold a conversation in). My hobbies and interests include keeping my toddler alive, video games (mostly simulation games and Pokémon), and sometimes kandi. Would love to become more active with some sort of exercise/sport for health reasons but have all the natural athleticism of a dehydrated sea sponge.


I believe in all of you!

If someone wants to motivate one another to learn about computer stuff with a view to being able to get remote work please contact me as that is something I am trying to work toward.

m, mid-30s, currently living in the US. Looking to talk to someone roughly in my age range or older.

Mental health has always been a struggle for me, cptsd, mdd, and gad among others. Went through a mental breakdown and am trying to recover but it's going very slowly.

Looking for someone who is open and honest but also determined to recover and make a good life. Open to venting both ways but not looking for someone who is just trying to be negative and stay there.
