Hi friends!
We need some positivity around here and I think it would be fun to get to know each other.
So I think it would be fun for you guys to share 5 facts about yourself (positive & not dpdr related.) (also I realize a lot of us feel pretty lost about ourselves right now but it's still doable)
It can be where you're from, any pets you own, random quirks or whatever!

[courtneyk]

I'll start
1. I absolutely love gardening
2. I've been married to my husband for 3 years
3. I have 2 dogs (border collie & a shi tzu) chickens, horses, sheep and a few kitties.
4. I could eat Mexican food for every meal, everyday for the rest of my life.
5. The Office is my Netflix go-to.

[Chicane]

1) I am addicted to pizza.

2) I speak three languages fluently.

3) I am left handed, green eyed and 6'5'' so genetically I am pretty unusual, I guess.

4) I am twice divorced at the impressive age of just 33.

5) I am deathly afraid of heights and can't go three steps up a ladder without pissing my pants (but oddly have no problems with planes etc).

I'm green eyed too! What languages do you speak? That's so neat!

Ok really cool! here we go

1) I am a troll. Not in a negative way, i love to prank my family and friends and we end up laughing together (yeah even despite dissociation I can still have some good laughter)
2) I have 2 cats, and i love animals
3) I love playing CS:GO, it's a shooting game, I'm pretty good at it.
4) I'm on first year of psychology in college, i really love studying the mind, emotions, physical body, and I think i'm creative and have many theories about the mechanisms of DP (even if they may be crazy and non-scientific)
5) I am a spiritual person, i believe we are souls, i believe there is an 'afterlife', i believe there is God (not a judgmental God like many religions say, but a some form of God or Source of life and the Universe)

I studied psychology in college as well. I was even going to major in it. It's funny because I've heard that around this site. Yes to fact 5. I feel the same way!
Thanks for sharing!
