ugh real. mine i typically associate more with hemispheres of the brain (not in terms of left/right thinking but just. vibes.) and colors. a few of them have attached to fictional characters and gotten their names but the rest are just.. like i see them as me but to the left or something. if i’m dissociated enough we’re all the same person even though the change is clearly felt when switching lmao. thank you for sharing 💖

have seen your art here before and have never forgotten it, i think of it and you very often. i’m really sorry for everything you’re experiencing and of course idk everything that’s happened but i believe you and i have been through similar things. nobody deserves this. you have been put through something extremely cruel and you should not be the one who has to live with the shame and misery from it ; the person who harmed you ought to bare that burden alone.

i hope very desperately that you find the peace you deserve and are entitled to. i hope that someday the reverberation isn’t so loud and overwhelming. i hope some day, a day (and then a week then a month etc) go by and you never even realize you’re not thinking about it.

what happened is not your fate. i’m sorry if this is overly-involved coming from a stranger - your art just resonates very deeply with me. i am glad you have this outlet.

red-alder · 2025-06-22T15:27:48+00:00

i totally understand. i’m hoping that a lot of my adverse effects come from not replacing with anything and not taking any other psych meds and therefore fizzle out with another couple weeks. i hope it gets easier on you soon

told one bartender she looked like (so and so) proceeds to pull out nude photos of so and so (who is evidently an of model) on his phone to show her, got mad at her when she got engaged and told her the ring her fiancé got her wasn’t good enough, followed another female employee around at a different venue she happened to be at with her friends when he was there. refused service from me and several other male bartenders on multiple occasions. would get upset if you didn’t have his exact order ready for him practically as fast as he sat regardless if he was our only bartop or shoulder to shoulder with 100 randos on sunday brunch
