Apologies for last night, using this place as a vent for some of my trauma. I would hate to have triggered anyone, and I am sincerely sorry if I have.
The woes of waiting for a therapy appt, and being very, very friendless. I appreciate you who put up with my trauma-dumping, and I would not fault a single one of you who may block me.
I have spoken at length with mein liebe, he knows everything. But he not my caretaker, nor therapist, and neither is this place.
I will treat you better than I have.
Venting is part of therapy. I appreciated it. We are somewhat acquaintances and somewhat strangers which is quite similar to the therapist / patient relationship.
I overshare here and while its a journal it's also because the people close to me have not been good to share with for the most part. They're supportive, but most of them think I should have sucked it up and moved on by now. That's not how dealing with trauma works. Not how the journey of being transgender works. Not how trying to come to terms with having neurodivergences works. Not how being in addiction recovery works. This stuff takes years and we all need people in our lives who have patience to hear us talk about things a lot over and over again. You're welcome to vent and share as much as you feel like in my dms hun. I'm a good ear and I've been to dark places a lot in the past as well. Lots and lots of love.
Thank you, you have been nothing but kind and understanding. It means the world to me. You are such a wonderful, incredible human being. 💜💜💜
Thank you for the same things Spud! You brighten my days.
Waiting for an appointment is torturous. In the meantime keep busy. Have a look on r/miniatures for inspiration.
Well! I do have a killteam of Necrons that need painting, I could get some good painting tips there! Thank you kindly 💜💜💜
W40k fan too?
I’ve painted a predator tank in Blood angel colours but it looked pretty bad haha so I won’t be offering any tips.
Yeah, I bought the Indomitus box a couple of years ago (when I had a job lol) because I love Necrons and my partner likes the Space Marines (so original haha). I painted two necrons and never did the rest of the squad haha! I have a bunch of D&D models to paint as well.
When we bought the box at Games Workshop in the CBD, the clerks helped us with painting tips. We also have been to PAX a number of times where you can minis as an activity too. We are by no means great painters, but they do come out quite servicable haha!
I would love to see a pic of the predator tank you painted! I'll find the first mini i ever painted too haha it was quite horrid 😂
I’m not sure actually sure what happened to the predator tank, I may have lost it when I moved.
I’d be embarrassed about it though. I remembered I used enamel paint because I didn’t know any better because I thought shiny was better.
Nooooo 😱 may it live on in your memories always! Do not ever be ashamed or embarrassed about not knowing! 🤗 shiny is always better 😅

I don't know what they are but I ♥ miniatures.
You have nothing to apologise for. You're human and humans reach out to other humans. hugs
💜💜💜
It’s ok. You sometimes need to do it and it also must be hard not having a proper outlet of times. Even I’m guilty of it I have to admit because I bottle it up too much.
You are a wonderful person who also cares about people too and you deserve to be cared about as well.
If you need to talk or vent you can reach out to us.
💜💜💜
Hey it's cool to vent on here if you need to. The pitiful amount of therapy covered by Medicare is really some bullshit. One of my kids needed some therapy, has used all his appointments and now we're paying full price until the end of the year. Really needs it, it's not optional, and mental health is priceless, but at the same time there is a price on it that some people can't pay. Constructive venting is therapeutic. Vent away, friend!
