Listener - Beginner 3

Greetings! First and foremost, I want to applaud you for taking a step towards self-help. I know how difficult and scary that can be. I myself live with PTSD, and have personal experience in living with PMDD, post concussion syndrome, sleep issues, and have survived previous bouts with self harm and suicide. I have also lost friends to suicide, in addition to addiction. On a less heavy note, I also have experience with scholastic difficulties, both as the student, and as a mentor. I find it rather poetic that these things I have lived with have made me a more compassionate, and empathetic person, and I think there is a lot we can always learn through the words of others. Being a lifelong student is a lifestyle, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I am also an artist, intersectional feminist, and a hobbyist writer. I research things for fun; the most recent endeavor has been astrology, and understanding my own natal chart. Regardless of the hocus pocus cynicism that surrounds astrology, I truly believe that an essential tool to finding happiness is self-awareness. Things I enjoy engaging in for fun include hiking, camping, rock climbing, reading, and appreciating music and cinema. Lately, that's been a lot of documentaries, drone, doom metal, thrash, instrumental, independent hip hop, and female fronted punk bands.
Hopefully, if some of these aspects resonate with you as well, you will reach out while I am online. I look forward to listening to you.
