I also have two extremely adorable rescued #cats of whom I'll share pics now and then, mostly on #Caturday

Here's already a small taste - meet Rops (the grey one) and Alma (the calico):

A small add-on to my introduction about #MentalHealth

I suffer from #anxiety #dysthymia (#PersistentDepressiveDisorder #PDD #depression) and a light form of #ADHD (the inattentive type).

I take medications that were (and still are) live saving to me, and make me function like I want myself to be. It makes me more me, who I'm supposed to be; I don't feel like it takes away part of who I am.

I think about this all within the framework of #neurodiversity
