' '...call me ishmael.' '
needed a place to talk about the atrocities (mental illness) or just about anything, lolol
on the user
name's Ishmael. Fish or ishy are also fine.
"why ishmael? do you kin her or something" wouldn't you like to know, weathergirl. but no, i just chose her since she's one of the only OCD-having characters i know who's protrayal i like.
im a lesbian and taken. women good, women great. shoutout to women gotta be one of my favourite genders.
you can refer to me with any pronouns. technically they change all the time, but i cannot be bothered to update my pronouns all the time. i do not have the time for that.
on my mental health
I've got obsessive compulsive disorder, particularly contamination and moral OCD. women say saying they're fighting demons and the demons are intrusive thoughts
I also deal with PPD and depression. although the former is a constant, my depression fluctuates a bit. it's in full swing at the time of writing this intro post.
this same paranoia will likely cause me to delete some posts after they're posted, but in spirit of this being a free space for myself, hopefully this won't happen too often.
on tolerance of topics
if you, by any chance, find some sort of relativity to my mad ramblings, I'm sorry. i hope you'll find some peace of mind someday.
people are messy, i think. just so happens that each person is messy in their own way. it's not my place to judge others for that.
but i can only extend that sympathy so far. bigots will be blocked, please steer clear.
being kind is the most basic thing you should do as a sapient being, as far as I'm concerned. if you won't treat certain groups people with basic kindness because of some bullshit vendetta against their existence, you shouldn't expect to be given kindness back. don't be surprised when you must reap what you've sown.
most I've got beyond that is that minors can interact, though please beware. i have no interest or plan on bringing up NSFW conversations; just know i am not a good influence.
warnings
i will use self deprecating language very frequently on here. mainly since i refuse to make my loved ones uncomfortable by doing so in front of them. they shouldn't hsve to put up with my bullshit.
just block me if you'd rather not see that, don't worry.
.. also if you happen to be ahab fuck off. thanks 🙏 /nsrs
on tags
I've always had a habit of preferring ranting in tags, most posts on here will probably have more to say in the tags than the main post itself.
my unique tags are as follows:
#thoughts of a sailor = post tag, neutral
#spiralling whirlpool = post tag 2, neg
#my compass = love life tag
more may be added as time goes.
' 'my fault? hah.. daresay, it's all thanks to me.' '
thank you for reading through, whoever you may be <3
