Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Have servere anxiety... the last time I was still "normal" and not depressed, some kid in my highschool picked a fight with me and I got arrested for defending myself...
Ever since Covid... I have this hightened sense of fear in public... I mean have you seen videos of random elderly Asian people getting pushed to the pavement and some Chinese person got pushed into the NYC metro... I'm Chinese American... this definitely does not calm my anxiety since I literally got into a fight at school 1 week before schools shut down for Covid....
Honestly I don't expect to own a car... I'm just gonna ask my parents to add my name in their insurance and borrow it when I need it (they have 2 cars)
