Hey there. I'm Rae and I'm here looking for friends and love and support.

I've been going through a really hard time lately but it feels like all my friends are distant or busy or just don't understand what I'm going through... I also cut a bunch of abusive people out of my life so I don't have a lot of people around anymore and I'm really bad at making and maintaining friendships early on... I have 3 partners (I'm polyamorous) but I don't really know where I stand with one of them and haven't seen or talked much with her in almost 3 months and the other two are long distance and we don't get a lot of chances to talk in between visits. I'm lonely in all kinds of ways and its been leading to severe depression and low self esteem. I also suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality disorder and am a queer identified transwoman.

I hope that wasn't all too forward for a welcome post... Anyway, I'm a big geek. I like games, anime, cartoons, sci fi, fantasy, art and music among other things. I also really like learning new things especially in areas that I am passionate about. I tend to be shy and quiet and at a loss to know what to say at times... But I can also be really talkative and outgoing when I warm up to people. Politically I'm an anarchist and an intersectional feminist. I'm a really cuddly and affectionate person but kinda greyasexual for several reasons.

I'm looking for more friends on the spectrum, especially ones who live in or near Toronto or are also queer or trans identified or struggle with BPD or PTSD.

Welcome Pandoradawn!

I am also trans(m2f). I identify as trans-feminine. No strong political feelings, other than perhaps a vague sense of disappointment in the human race. I used to, but I realized the futility of fighting human nature.

I also have high-functioning autism, and have all the symptoms of BPD as well.

I'm unfortunately nowhere near Toronto, but I certainly wish I was back in the higher latitudes again, and I'm not gonna stay in this furnace(Arizona) forever. I'm happiest when it's 6C and cloudy/rainy, or snowing and much colder.

Hopefully they'll let me do my job remote, at some point, as they seem to like my work, but I'm not really making any friends here, anyways, and I'm off in a room by myself because I can't concentrate with normal people around.
