    I’ve recently realized the very real and very understandable boundary that my cat had where he does not wish to be petted (and stimulated, and surprised) while sleeping, even if purring on my lap.

    When I started respecting this boundary he started telling me when he wants pet time (by screaming at my face and occasionally, doing a social roll on my lap, which is insanely cute.)

    I’ve been open on the fediverse about my background.

    The problem with being a major depressive for the first 36 years of your life is, you meet a lot of friends in treatment, and statistically, many of them don’t make it.

    I recently surprised myself by telling the boyfriend two stories back-to-back and hearing myself say, “they died in (x) year.” Some of us outlive others. Some of us outlive a lot of others. That just makes those of is who make it all the more precious, and makes the example we lead that much more critical.

    (Yes. 36 years of depression. And yes. It was actually worth it to live through it and get to the other side.)
