Hello!

Im Francis! Im 23, nonbinary (to be more specific Im epicene, which means I have masculine and feminine or male and female traits while being neither), and I like anime, video games (especially street fighter), cartoons (especially ducktales and Steven universe), medicine, literature, and voice over, especially English dub work done in LA (trust me, when you have a keen ear like me youll learn the difference between the quality of New York, LA, and Texas dubs, LA and New York are often higher quality). I am here because I feel like I need a community to get to talk to about my current mental struggles. To start, I am diagnosed professionally with autism, ADHD, PTSD, OCD, panic anxiety, and psychosis (so far, NOS). Im suspicious that I might have BPD and some sort of schizoaffective mood disorder, which my psychiatrist is recommending me get extensive testing for to see if I can rule it out or if i have it. I also have intense self harm and self destructive urges, which include cutting, headbanging, giving myself bruises, and most recently, binge eating. I decided I am going to take matters into my own hands and talk about my issues in a supportive community while I wait for my psychiatrist to sort things out.

Im glad to meet you all!

Also: my username is danhibikisponytail because I really relate to a character in street fighter with that name who, yes, he is a joke character, but despite (or because of) his mental illness and autism symptoms hes one of the kindest and smartest people in the game despite suffering PTSD so bad that he has intrusive thoughts about wanting his fathers murderer dead. Pretty relatable for someone with my disorders IMO.
