I had a pretty heavy triggering moment last night, and despite having gotten past it, I guess I wanted to share with more than my immediate support group.

My wife(both of us RBN) made a mention last night during a conversation, talking about how we were never allowed to have a problem unless it was a world-ending problem - if you weren't melting down right this second, it must not be that big a problem, right? The only way to be heard, at all, was to have big, outsized emotions and responses - without making yourself a scene, you didn't even exist.

It got me thinking about how similar my experience had been. About my outsized emotions and responses, my fights with my Ndad. Him scream

Hi! My nocturnal schedule can make it hard to find people to talk to, but there's a lot of time overnight to while away. Hopefully I'm not the only late night lurker who'd like some conversation.

I'm into most any type of gaming, reading(mostly fantasy and sci-fi), and writing(mostly the same). I've been spending the last few years doing a lot of navel-gazing, and among other things it's gotten me really philosophical, so if that form of mental masturbation is something you're into, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

If you're not into any of those things, that's cool too! Tell me what you are passionate about. I want to hear what interests you, what gets you excited. Tell me what you like ab

I was completely blown away. It was wonderful. Seeing line after line of people walking by with banners, flags, ridiculous outfits, knowing they were all saying, "We see you, and we support you."

Looking around and seeing so many people, hundreds, thousands of people, who were all there to say the same thing as well. Everyone so happy. Happy to be there. Happy to see you. Happy to see me. I got approached by at least a dozen different people, with no provocation more than standing there in the outfit I'd put together, just to tell me they liked how I looked. Half a dozen offering or asking for hugs.

And everyone with a smile.

This was one of the most pure, powerful single events I'v
