Bio
I am a lover of musical theatre, science fiction and horror, an unabashed Rocky Horror Show fangirl and Trekkie. I have a passion for body modification, primarily tattoos, but still retain a love for piercings although my dream of becoming a professional piercer was quashed due to circumstances outside my control as well as physical disability. I adore crafts, including but not limited to cross stitch, crochet, resin crafting and general DIY projects. I have an eclectic taste in music, but a few of my favourites are the Offspring, the Whitlams, Alice Cooper and Pink Floyd.
I suffer from depression, generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety, panic disorder and PTSD, with all but the last one being generally under control unless crisis situations arise. Due to an unfortunate intolerance to most medications that can be taken long term, I'm well versed in non-pharmaceutical coping methods for most of my illnesses.
When I am more well, I would love to become a listener on this site. I look forward to the time where I am healed enough from trauma to be able to offer help and give back to the community here.
