Deep Thoughts Dept.

Welcome to the Deep Thoughts Dept. This is where we overthink with heart, feel things louder than we planned to, and occasionally say something brilliant without trying. No need to impress. No need to fix it. Definitely no need to "circle back." Say the thing. Feel the thing. Or just scroll quietly — that counts too. In case no one’s told you lately: You’re not behind. You’re carrying more.

    Bring Your Story, Not Your Chart

    This isn’t intake.
    You don’t need a diagnosis to be here. No symptom lists. No severity scales. No pressure to spell out your medical history like it’s a resume.

    You’re a human—not a chart.

    We’ve all seen what happens in online sites that revolve around diagnosis. It starts with connection… and somewhere along the way, it turns into the unofficial trauma Olympics.
    Who has it worse?
    Who’s been dismissed more creatively?
    Who’s the reigning champ of “I literally can’t even”?

    We get it.
    Wanting to be heard is human. But around here, we’re more interested in what lifts us out of that spiral.

    This is a space where we lead with story, not stats.
    With what helps, what matters, what’s real—not just what hurts.

    If naming your diagnosis feels grounding—go for it.
    If it feels like shorthand for a story no one ever really got right—skip it.
    If you’re still figuring out how to talk about it—this is a good place to try.

    Because what we’re building here isn’t based on who’s the sickest.
    It’s based on who’s showing up, figuring things out, and finding their way—with creativity, clarity, and a ridiculous amount of strength.

    So bring the parts that matter to you.
    We’ll listen like it’s sacred—because it is.

    You’re not a condition. You’re a force. And we see that first.

    I read the intro pages while curled up in a hoodie I definitely slept in—and may or may not be wearing inside out.

    Honestly? I teared up a little. (Which is rude. I did not emotionally prepare for this website.)

    Just wanted to say thank you. For the tone, the honesty, the absence of “have you tried walking?” energy.

    I’m probably going to lurk for a while (that’s kind of my move), but… yeah. This feels like a good place to land. So—hi.
