I'm a 30-something #asexual #lesbian.

I've been struggling on and off for a while with some really miserable thoughts; exactly the ones you'd expect me to have. I'd really appreciate someone to talk to, especially a woman older than me.

I'm not on Facebook (and can't join, thx Meta) and completely isolated from other queer people; local queer groups are for kids or not functional.

I'm not in any danger.

If I don't reply for a while, it's just because I've gone to bed.
@carmenlisandrette Hello girl. We can talk a little and be friends on the network to begin with.
I'm no asexual so it will be friendship if anything. But I don't like that you're alone like this.
@loucramazouk Hey :) Love to chat sometime.
@carmenlisandrette i just discovered there is no private messages in mastodon! I use jabber now, do you? [email protected]
@loucramazouk I can use jabber. I'll have to sign up.
@carmenlisandrette I’m mid-40s heteroromantic asexual (among the least obvious types of queer, thought I was just a prude for most of my life). Happy to chat, I keep eastern US hours though. I’m on Signal? Same name with .45 at the end.

@LisaMaesie

I would love that. Maybe a couple days time?

@LisaMaesie actually, apparently you can't use Signal without a phone. If you have some other way of chatting , still keen :)

@carmenlisandrette Huh! Did not know that. I’m here, Bluesky, and iMessage (Gmail address) if you happen to have an Apple device.

Or, heck, email. Man how is that the last thing I think of? Aforementioned Gmail. Hah.

I saw an article recently that messaging with random strangers is better for mental health than AI!

@LisaMaesie I can send you an e-mail. I'm not on Bluesky and I don't have a phone.
@carmenlisandrette
You are not alone. We will listen.
