Hello there...

Hey guys, this will be a relatively concise introduction to who I am and why im here. Thanks to all those who read, and love to all those who resonate.

You can call me 124 or UQ until i find an anonymous nickname thats personal to me but isnt identifiable to those who may know me irl. Feel free to message me if you want to talk more or introduce me to some hobbies since I have very few.

My days consist mainly of watching shows and hitting the gym.

I have been struggling mentally for aslong as I can remember, i dont know exactly how far back that goes. Ive had periods of plateus or straight lines where ive been relatively ok for a little bit. However, recently my mental health has been plummeting.

Im hoping I can find myself a community here of shared experiences and validation of the effects its had on us collectively and individually.

    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Welcome to the mix @unheardquack great to see you
    Sometimes when the people most like you don't love you, it is a hurt that can cause the greatest pain, and this pain can lead you to hate everything.

    Dexter is such a great show!. I did well only watch the first episode on channel 5 because its being streamed there and i want to get into it but I ain't got netflix or any subscriptions. I do want to watch Hanninal as well because all my friends keep saying for me to watch it because of how good it is.

    Original Sin? It was amazing, infact I genuinely believe its far better than new blood.

    Ahh let us know what you think when you finish it @unheardquack ! I think I've watched Hannibal 3 or 4 times now

    I've heard Mindhunter is good but I haven't personally watched it - it is on my list though! Sherlock is always a classic. What about Killing Eve? Love that one
