    I’m so sorry for everything you’ve gone through, this sounds horrendous. But thank you for enlightening me, I know mostly nothing about Finland personally. I hope you’re doing better now though, and as someone who’s been through abuse as well, it’s tough, but in the end, we can get through this. I’m not really good at talks like this, sorry if it’s bad, but just know that I’m rooting for you. It will get better. 🙂

      I’m not really good at talks like this, sorry

      1000% more supportive than any Finn I’ve ever met, including my family.

      So yeah, compared to them you’re a fucking master, mate.

      That is very meaningful to me, thank you a lot. People ignoring it is what really gets me, not the personal experience. (It’s not the first time I’ve been in a psychosis due to insomnia/other factors, but when I’ve my meds at home, I don’t end up eating myself.)

      I am doing better, yes. Maybe not exactly well yet, but …

        You are very welcome, I’m glad you’re doing better. And yeah, people can be awful, but you’ll find people who will be supportive, even if it’s just a few. My dogs help me personally, they know how to get me out of depression funks.

          Seeing as I’m 36 and yet to find such a creature who I’m not paying hundreds an hour to listen to me trauma dump… I’d like to politely advice you to not use any definite sentence on what I will or will not find.

          I would love a dog, I’ve had many as a kid. None from pup to gone though. My grandmas sofa wasn’t older than me, then when we got our own dog when I was 12, he got ran over by a truck (and I saw it very close, and picked him up after he was driven over by a full semi tire). Then our next dog was done which was a sort of rescue, but from a trainer. He was my best friend ever.

          I’ve cried more over my dead dogs than I ever have for any relatives.

          So yeah, I’d like to get a dog, but as I live in a bedsit and am kinda depressed, I don’t know whether I’d be justified in taking a dog… There’s better homes for pups to go to.

            I’m sorry about that, I can be overly optimistic sometimes. And I’m sorry you had to witness that, especially at such a young age, losing pets is awful. I’ve lost many myself too, I get it. But I hope your depression improves, I know it can be really tough. Again, I wish I had better advice to give. I just hope that I could make your day a little better at least.

              Thank for the empathy. I can’t overstate just how meaningful even a slightly empathic message can be. I’m grateful.

              Honestly, like had the guards had 1% of that empathy, I would’ve never been abused like I was. And Finland wouldn’t be as ass if the general population did as well.

              Edit who the fuck is downvoting you lol

                That’s good. :) I mean, I tried spreading positivity on a political post once, and someone downvoted me then too. Idk, people are weird.
