Hi there. I hope I can provide support for you if you need it! You don't need to fall under my "Areas of Expertise", but I have the most knowledge and personal experience with them. I will totally listen if you experience mental illness or neurodivergence which I did not list there, but probably haven't experienced it intimately. I know it's not just depression and anxiety out there, and I try not to be a stigmatizing jerk about other stuff.
Similarly, I don't have every identity under the LGBT umbrella, but I'm comfortable discussing many issues related to gender identity and orientation. And if you just feel more comfortable discussing something not super related with me because I'm "LGBT friendly", that's cool too. People have many things going on in their lives. I feel pretty strongly about how LGBT people face disproportionate mental illness and isolation. I just want to do my part to help.
I'm a college student who maybe wants to do social work. I enjoy animals, discussing social issues, and walks in nature. My favorite thing on Youtube is Monster Factory and anything McElroy. But really I'm trying to rebuild my life after bad. New Year's Resolutions: Read more fiction, deal with the excoriation disorder, and stop cussing in public when kids are around.
Hit me up if you need to talk with someone.
