About

I guess, if you want to know more about me besides my sporadic blogging, here's a little bit more info. Of course you can ask me questions. I always welcome questions to help build awareness, especially if it's mental health, type 1 diabetes, and LGBTQ+ related.

I'm just a person living in Western Sydney with my partner and two bunnies. I've been diagnosed with (C)PTSD which I'm currently undergoing treatment for. It's one of the things I like to blog about. I'm pretty open about my mental health. I guess after a 30+ life of major depressive disorder, OCD, anxiety, and panic disorder it's honestly not a big deal to talk about. Undergoing therapy is my day job, which sounds like I have a lot of time on my hands, but really I'm trying to learn how to function like a(n) average(real) person. That's what my blog is about. It's me learning to function and discover what I like and am like after the fact.

In my former repressed life I enjoyed creative writing, puzzles, gaming, gardening, guilt baking, reading and reviewing novels, and a whole bunch of maladaptive behaviours, ooo boy.

These days, besides therapy, I've learnt I definitely love puzzles, gaming, gardening, exploring and going for long walks, crochet, painting, embracing my Dutch heritage and the food, and reconnecting socially. I've learnt I may be a true crime buff, I'm pretty sure I still love reading, and I might not actually be scared of heights, but rollercoasters are out of the question. On top of that I'm attempting to run a book club and considering volunteering in a maternity ward because apparently I think babies are cute and I want to protect the small and vulnerable 👀 

It's fair to say I will always love animals (especially bunnies) and nature in general. I know this without a doubt. I also know I love nature, but will never be a vegan.

I'm also not a big fan of writing an "about me" or introducing myself. Ta da.
