thepowerofdeathHello Dreamwidth
I think I'm actually about ready to come back - it seems I wasn't last time and the internet was still a little Too Much. I've done a combination of avoiding the internet because it's stressful, and some work curating my online experience to protect my mental health and I think I'm starting to recover.
The world is still a dumpster fire, and there have been some things in RL that have been utterly terrible that I'm not ready to talk about. I'm still struggling but I'm medicated, I've done a self-referral to local mental health services, and I have an amazing support network in my closer friends.
I'm starting to notice I'm listening to music again, I picked up a book for the first time in weeks, and I've opened up Dreamwidth again so fingers crossed the light at the end of the tunnel is the exit and not another train hurtling towards me.
Normal service should return shortly but in the meantime - I've just signed up for Threads. I have no idea how to use it, how to find people but if any of you lovely people are using the site, please add me and say hi so I'm not all alone?
https://www.threads.net/@alismaywitch is where you'll find me

Date: 2023-11-30 11:03 am (UTC)Not to add any pressure, but just...Threads? The one social media site blocked in all of EU because of it's gaping privacy holes and predatory practices? When not even Tiktok gets that treatment? That may not be the best choice of social media sites to sign up to. (I'd be happy to drop you a Bluesky invite if you need one, that's where all the cool folks are at. Although granted, its always-public policy is heading for a disaster so it might not be the best option either in the long run)
