Southern Mass's local machine healer and part time witchdoctor.
Tiny motorcycles, magic potions, machine tools, progressive rock, trance states, and hand sharpened drill bits. Oh, and I read Tarot. Probably 18+ just to be sure.

I wanna get a stage troupe together of all plural systems and write a Play with thirty Characters and Ten Actors.
And one VERY busy costuming staff.

Me in early 2018: I want to start learning how to do art but I don’t know if I can really do this
Me now:
Sorry if I've been obnoxious to any of you lately, I've been digging thru pretty serious childhood trauma and I was kinda unpleasant a couple days there.
I'm really starting to realize I was abused by Communism Gone Wrong growing up.

these were real advertisements that a company really wrote and really published to really persuade people and there's the serious societal issues that you can discuss here but also

Sometimes therapy is like taking your car in for an oil change.
Sometimes it's like doing a full engine rebuild with a Friend who knows enough about the History of the Damage to help.
That second one takes a Week, of all day work. @budgiebin@snouts.online spent her Valentines day helping me understand how traumatized I was, and that it's Not normal.
So, that was another five hours of talking about my past trauma.
Funny, seems like a lot more there than I remember. Or maybe my idea of Abuse has just gotten more comprehensive as time has gone by.
That being said, I finally feel like I can create music and art without feeling massive paranoia and insecurity.

long wikipedia excerpt, Ryukuan religion maybe related to ptsd? //
(from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryukyuan_religion#Mabui)
Mabui (まぶい), or "spirit", is a key concept in Ryukyuan religion. Mabui is the essence of the self, somewhat like the soul and somewhat like mana…
[…]
Mabui can be lost as the result of fright, stress, loneliness, or helplessness, any circumstances in which a person suffers from a sudden shock or a lack of psychological/physical resources. A coma-like trance is one manifestation of the loss of mabui, but an extreme one. It seems that the loss of one's mabui manifests itself first psychologically, as depression or anxiety, and then physically as general lethargy or actual illness. Poor relationships – be they with the living, the dead, or incorporeal powers – also may result in the loss of mabui.
## Mabui-gumi
Performed as the result of the loss (or potential loss) of mabui. After being startled, while scared, or even after a sneeze, one says or has recited over them "Mabuya, mabuya, utikuyou" or simply "Mabuya, mabuya". **One can also regain one's lost mabui simply by doing what one habitually does: sitting in one's favorite chair, sleeping in one's own bed, wearing favorite old clothing, or handling familiar, personal objects.** More formally, a special ceremony can be performed by the family's matriarch… if the case is especially serious, a *yuta* may be involved in the retrieval of one's mabui.
---
reading that like dang, that sounds like an actually pretty good description of dissociation during trauma, possible complications afterwards (PTSD?), and potentially reasonable courses of treatment. (it sounds like the *yuta* can range from the "buy this lucky item" animal crossing lady to a family-oriented, almost psychoanalytical approach, except that they can still interview your [grand] parents even of they've passed away. potentially like a terry pratchett witch?)

Me, coming out as Pan, or poly, or Enby, or whatever: Yah Fam, I'm doing the thing. It's awesome.
Me, coming out about wanting to learn guitar: Is everyone okay with this? Don't tell my family, okay? I don't want them to know, like, At All.
Everyone's trauma is Different, yours is Valid, even if it's fukkin Weird

Anyone here good at teaching electric guitar?
Even basic chords. I picked up a guitar at Savers for fifteen bucks and really do wanna learn to play, but have no idea where to begin.
Well, besides having enough cabling and stereo equipment to have it jacked into my Pc and running thru my big stereo.
So, it's tuned-ish, needs new strings and the bridge adjusted, but it works.
