Hello strangers!

Hey everyone!

Oh, but it feels so weird to be introducing myself on a forum. :) The last forum I joined was some spirit kin thing (you know, people who think to think they were dragons in a past life?) in high school that I wasn’t actually at all serious about. Now I’m all over the internet in various guises but I haven’t found a place where I’m really comfortable talking about my hyperhidrosis, or that sometimes I don’t leave my apartment for weeks, or that I think about suicide kind of a lot for someone who isn’t actually suicidal. Just a few of the reasons why I’m here.

I want to be totally honest somewhere! When I started sweating in junior high I learned how to hide things, to be disingenuous, and it’s crept into basically every part of my life… I tell little lies and I don't talk about things unless I can spin them positively. I keep all my weird little behaviors secret. I feel like a gross person. And I don’t want to (or maybe can’t?) articulate to my IRL friends why and how I feel gross. Inside and out.

Let’s see… I’m a 20-year-old atheist female who has spent her entire life in beautiful Northern California (wine country, weed country, city by the bay). College dropout. Listening to The XX, rereading Narcissus and Goldmund.

Annnnnnd I feel like I’m making a dating profile, so I’m going to shut up and go troll around the forums now.

I miss northern cal. marin to be exact. say hello to stinson for me. and fairfax if your ever out that way. you're not gross - only in your twisted/anxious imagination. and you're not twisted either - just suffering from a very common condition. turn off your tv for a week and think about the power of nature to destroy as well as heal. your mind, (mine as well) is a little bit broken but maintains its ability to be healed. that's what i'm telling myself these days. hope springs eternal if you make it a habit.

Thank you all for the kind welcomes.

I've never been out to Fairfax and have only made it out to Stinson Beach a few times, some family friends used to own a little variety store out there. Marin is gorgeous! Used to work out there. I grew up in Lake County which is pretty much the armpit of NorCal, if you know it. And it's true that I'm addicted to television on a disturbing level. I'll make a point of getting out of it...

21 days to make a new habit, right? ;) Good advice already.
