Hello! Thanks for being here, everybody!

[_mlmlmlm_]

Just introducing myself - I've been going through a pretty intense self-reflection period lately and I'm so grateful for MIHH and all the people who connect through it. I'm always open to correspondences so feel free to message me and we can have discussions!

Something about myself...I live in a house with my husband and his girlfriend and together we have the following pets:
- Two ball pythons
- One crested gecko
- Two cats
- One bunny

I love living in a zoo!

------------

Here are some of the things I'm trying to address:

- Emotional unavailability
- Severe ego-based existence/selfishness
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Codependence
- Inauthenticity
- Inability to be vulnerable
- Lack of openness
- Non-understanding of what I'm feeling
- Resistance to expressing how I am actually feeling
- Difficulty asking for help
- Gaslighting behaviors
- Severe complacency

I worked in a pet store, and while I was never "an animal person", I was surprised at how sweet crested geckos were. They had such kind little personalities.
