...See more TW - Substance use Here seems as good a place as any to share this work. The Depression Triptychs is a series of triptychs (a piece of art comprised of three panels) I produced about 14 years ago amid a prior period of deep depression. A. the Unreasonable Triptych And, yes, the influences for the first and third panels are acknowledged on the final pieces.

...See more I have yet to find a community (or listener) I feel comfortable with. It would be great to have a group/community/listeners for mature, self-aware individuals with the intellect to articulate and discuss their issues knowledgeably and coherently. Any advice, insights, and/or support in the matter would be greatly appreciated.

...See more Sage, Connoisseur, Master (WTF?!), Proficient, Supporter, Explorer, Novice These don't even follow a coherent taxonomy.  Is there a reference guide available?

...See more I'm here to reengage with professional and peer-based care for my mental health. I'm a divorced, 57yo, cishet male of color with a 14yo trans child. Until recently, I had a 20+ year career as a professional creative in the ad/mktg/brand biz. I'm coming off a period of intense distress developed over the past year-and-a-half due to unemployment, depleted finances/savings, loss of car, relationship challenges, physical health issues, and, as the saying goes, "much, much more!" Some of the ongoing specifics that underlie my … dis-ease: * 8 of 10 on the ACEs scale * Clinical Depression * Anxiety Disorders (Social + GAD) * Substance Use Disorders (alcohol + other drugs, 27 years clean + sober as of 9/1/24) * High Functioning Autism (late Dx) * ADHD (the AD part, late Dx) * PTSD (late Dx) And, FWIW * MS (heat sensitivity in a warming world—my skin, the body's largest breathing organ, feels like it’s suffocating sometimes) * Eczema (annually recurring full body, including face—in addition to insatiable itching it feels like wool is inside my skin)
