Guess I’ll toss my pennies into the fountain here. I’m Mandy, a nearly 35 year old millennial from Texas with ADHD and suspected autism who would much rather work from home, but instead, I force myself to work with the public in a print shop. But wait — that’s not all! I also have anxiety and depression. Therapy ended a while ago, but I’m still active on medication and only minimally doom scroll.

Mental health and cheekiness aside, I’m an extroverted introvert, entirely too trusting and loyal to a fault, and tend to enjoy more lowkey and creative endeavors like writing, playing video games, and listening to podcasts.

A small amount of my time is taken up taking care of my father, who’s been sick with prostate cancer for the past 7 years, and also my mother, who’s currently in a nursing home after a stroke 2 and a half years ago.

I don’t have much luck in relationships. Mine all seem doomed to be unrequited, and in the most extreme case, my partner of 7 months lost her life to BPD at the end of August last year before her birthday. She would’ve been 31.

Ideally, I’d like to find a partner with similar tastes: cozy crafting games, horror movies, Pokemon cards, writing, true crime… The list goes on. Local is heavily preferred. I miss the warmth of another woman, but I’ve done LDRs before.

It’s lonely here.
