i guess i have to say weebshit lol i love anime/manga (favourites include heavenly delusion, kokoro connect, lain, ergo proxy, bit of everything i guess but kinda trannycore taste) and i'm big into the convention scene, i staff cons sometimes and i cosplay too (ask me about my last one!). i like rhythm games and VNs too even if i don't have much time for games these days.
>other interests and hobbies
recently took up HEMA so if anyone here is into fencing or swords in general i'd love to talk about that! i'm a bit of a history nerd, used to be a castle tour guide, not anymore but i'm just back from a trip to normandy to visit the d-day beaches and follow william the conqueror's tracks. can get pretty intensely nerdy about some topics, urbanism and public transport are big ones for me but also just anything to do with like people and cultures is fascinating. otherwise just your typical things: working out, biking, thrifting, all kinds of films and documentaries, music (especially metal/rock/rap but dabble in other genres too).

friends, similar age is cool but as long as we vibe it doesn't matter really. trying to fix my sleep schedule so maybe no crazy 8 hour timezone differences unless it sounds like we really have shit in common haha no offence!
>not looking for
i'm not big on vc with people i don't know well yet so just bear that in mind, i'm okay with doing it once we've chatted for a bit though.

i'm gonna be open about the fact i have BPD, anxiety and some other mental health problems, i spent some time in hospital for them earlier this year, but i'm trying my best to keep them under control and get clean from substances and self-harm. just be gentle with me and let's try to steer conversations away from doomer topics. :)

i went to the psych ward back in february/march, i honestly found it fine. they put me in the woman's ward ig because it's what my documents say. because i tried to kill myself i had to go to the acute ward for a few days and that was a bit shit, it was like an open ward and some of the other patients were kinda scary or hyperactive, it was always loud. nurses could be a bit mean too. then they moved me upstairs to the more chill ward where you're in like these rooms with three or four girls in each of them, way more privacy. being there was actually quite nice, i felt so much more at ease. honestly nobody batted an eyelid at me being there and i looked like shit because seeing as i basically got taken in off the street i had one set of clothes and none of my usual haircare and my moustache was starting to grow back in by the time i left, if anything people were more weirded out by the fact i was foreign (this is in a small central/east euro country, not that many immigrants here) than the fact i was trans or whatever, it never came up. i remember in the second ward we used to share the shower room with the boys ward down the hallway, you were meant to sort of move this wooden panel on the door to make it say men/women depending on who was using it, the first night i went and asked the nurse for a towel and afterwards when i was going in he moved the sign to say women. i actually sorta miss it sometimes, at least the nicer ward, i made one great friend in there and the girls were generally sweet and supportive. i felt temporarily better for a while after i left but then life got kind of shit again. hope it goes okay for you nona.
