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!
I’ve lost so many people in my life. Family members, friends, loved ones, and I just keep moving. In August of 2023, I lost a good friend from High School; she was one of the most amazing people I had ever met, and I don’t think she even realized how important she was. So, I’d like to take a minute to tell you about her, to keep her memory alive. So, let’s talk about that, together.
