TW: PTSD

hey everyone. i’m aware that i keep saying i’ve returned… only to shy away into the void again. i feel i am prepared to be here in full now. i still have starters on the way for all who requested one, but i wanted to address this, as i know my followers have been left in the dark in my absence– i appreciate your continued support and patience! recently, i was diagnosed with PTSD. in light of this, i’ve spent a lot of time re-evaluating my overall perception of myself, attempting to learn my way through who exactly i am, and the basics of self-care and healing. anyone who knows me likely knows that self-care is something i already struggle with, so essentially this has all been one big process of self-discovery… for me, even just speaking comfortably about this in a tumblr post is a great feat. baby steps. i do not wish to delve into the specifics of my trauma, but i will ask that you please tag any audio posts or videos that contain abrupt / startling noises. you can tag it as you would any other trigger, with the word ‘noises’. autoplay is fine, but i would sincerely appreciate it if you just notified me when your blog happens to begin with a particularly jarring song. i know this request is out of the blue, so i absolutely will not fault anyone who slips up or may not immediately see this update. i just ask for your best effort; we are all learning. thank you. -kate
