What is Dear Former-Self?

Depression, Neurodiversity, and being LGBTQIA+ all have something in common: They can make you feel really alone, especially in a world that so often either ignores or stigmatizes our existence. DFS’s mission is to advocate for marginalized individuals, provide judgment-free spaces, and empower people to manage their mental health and neurodiversity positively, celebrating their uniqueness. We aim to create a space where people dealing with their own struggles can feel heard and supported. Together, we can learn better ways of communicating and connecting with others!

It’s a lot easier to reject ourselves than it is for others to reject us. And so, we put up all of these walls and we stop ourselves from allowing others in. If I don’t let anyone get to know me, they will never have an opportunity to leave or to reject me. The trouble here, is that they will never truly have an opportunity to show me love either. Let’s talk about that, together.

It’s really difficult to pin down exactly what it means to be “me”. Some philosophers have talked about the idea that a person’s identity is based on how they act when they think no one is looking.
