Wherever you are, whatever you're going through, just know that you're you and nobody can change that. Don't let anybody tell you for certain about who and what you are, because you're the only one who truly knows. That's a fact.

You're not alone. No matter how isolated and lonely you feel, you're not alone in that feeling. There are many people who are going through and have gone through what you have and made it out to the other side. You are stronger than you know. You just have to keep going, one step at a time, and then you'll figure it out as it comes along. It's okay to make mistakes. You will survive. You can do this.

I love y'all 🦈🏳️‍⚧️

If you need someone to call a friend, you can use me if nothing else!

You can call me Kasey, and I'll be your friend!

I like woodworking, makeup, and plotting the downfall of capitalism. Nice to meet you!

I went to my gp yesterday and asked her to check me in to the hospital because of suicide risk. I'm in the Netherlands, and the state of the healthcare system is abysmal, so I am alone at home again.

Hey, just saw this and wanted to check in.

You alright? You've got this, Do Not the bad moments win.

I live on the other side of the world, but I happen to be online friends with a large number of netherlanders who are part of a Minecraft server I'm with. If you're interested, let me know and I'll send you the details, we're always accepting, and very accepting.
