Hi all! I am new here, but I’m searching for someone who is genuinely interested in helping me work through my current mental state. I know I need help, but don’t really have the motivation or income to get anywhere. I used to be so self sufficient and productive and now I’m useless and completely dependent upon someone for basically everything. I used to work full time overnights and go to college full time and still manage to be somewhat social… I wish I could be that me again.

Things that I (kind of) enjoy:

• Cats are my favorite. 😻 I also appreciate all types of animals in general ( I am/ was a Registered Vet Tech).

• Before my mom passed away I was rescuing cats and helping people get their pets fixed.

• Randomly painting cute designs on objects around the house and attempting to “renovate” things when I have no clue what I’m doing. I don’t do this much anymore.

• Staying home and avoiding social media

• Playing Fortnite and COD (The new MWII and MWIII) even though honestly sometimes I’m not even having fun. I fall asleep while I’m playing all the time. 🤦🏼‍♀️
