I want to look past their...

You see it quite often online in communities built around one topic as there is a lot of echo chambering and the like that makes...

    I don't believe in mental health

    Before you throw rocks at me, please let me explain what I mean. For a while now, I have been observing people both in real life and online increasingly talk about "mental health", typically as if it is some sort of credit score or bank account they are responsible for taking care of.

    EVANGELION: Westside Story (A Fanfiction)

    For those of you who might know, I have had a traumatic experience with the anime known as Evangelion, and furthermore, with its own fandom.

    How many stable Agorans actually exist? One or two? Are you stable?

    It has come to my attention that Agorans might be self selecting for instability and irrationality. Which are both excellent traits in people, but not so great when it comes to interpersonal relationships between members. So My question is this: Do you consider yourself to be one of the stable...

    I have Dissociative Identity Disorder, Ask Me Anything

    The title is pretty self explanatory. I feel like DID is one of the most polarising Mental Disorders, and because of that it can make life very hard when trying to open up about it and what it sort of means. So I want to try to answer any questions to the best of my ability, because I still...
