This is MEEEEEEEEEE (Hello!) T.W ❗(therapy abuse and trauma)

ameliawillsharevoiceameliawillsharevoice Posts: 25 Boards Initiate
I wanted to do this before my vents tbh but I can do it now and I will.

I am amelia and I go by she/they I am demi-girl and homophobes shall not be tolerated.

I also am terrible at romantic advice but may still give it if I think it could be of use so it's ok if you hate my advice (I do too most of the time!)

I have social anxiety and some pretty bad trauma from my early childhood. I have also tried CAHMS and go to jigsaw as a therapy to try and piece together some sexual abuse and neglect I had when I was young.

I love art, rain, horror games and books but not films (they make me uncomfortable) and to everyone out there, it's ok not to figure it out, I haven't yet and probably won't for 10 more years but you don't have to figure it out at all. I will listen and try to understand how you feel but I know two peoples pains are different feelings and I can't guarantee I get it right😓. I am open to vents and try to send hugs through the screen to those that are struggling. I may also talk about my struggles in the foster system as let's face it, the system is broken and has been for years. I don't have a great sense of emotions but can navigate through the tangle of my brain to comfort people.

I leave with a quote I made

Life is shit. It's less shit with others.

    @ameliawillsharevoice Welcome to the Mix, it’s nice to meet you. It takes a lot of courage to share who you are and what you’ve been through, thank you for trusting this space with that. It sounds like you have a really thoughtful and caring approach to supporting others. We hope you feel at home here and are glad you joined.

    @63marie love horror and adventure. Stuff like the hunger games or a good girls guide to murder are my mind of things. 😀
