#CosoLove

Hey all - I see so many new faces and so much activity as of late, so glad you are here!

User guide: The system and interface is likely a lot different than you are used to.

https://counter.social/userguide.pdf

Hashtags are your friend, and help other users filter content they might not be into. #politics , #CosoMusic, etc. You get the idea.

That CW warning button is great too. If it's something you worry that someone else might get upset about, consider its use!

Welcome home ❤️

You're amazing, #lgbtq members and of course everyone else.

Not only have you saved a life, you have done so much more.

Thank you. I may not know you, but I love you.

I'd loan it out to you in a second!

Was a gift from a loved one, this wonderful transgender woman who left us all too early - and it helps me so much over the many years since it was given to me.

It's really good for those with bad neck and sciatic and lower back pain, I can assure you!

oh god I found the power cord for my Shiatsu massage device thing and my neck is currently being turned to jelly and I have time for this.

Our methods span ages.

All we do is change the name.

Very similar here. It's been 15 years since my ex. Been in a 'healthy' relationship for ten now, and still so damaged.

Yay! Not only an anniversary, but SPA DAY? That's still one of my favorite things ever.

Recovering from that feeling where for the first time in a decade you actually just let it all go and really cry on someone's shoulder is difficult.

Still embarrassed. It was like once it started, I could not stop myself.

Realized that I never addressed physical and emotional abuse that I took for decades, and how a sick part of me actually has missed that. At least I knew where I stood, right? It finally all broke down.

So much I have not said, I'll be ranting a lot.

Weird things. Getting somewhere safe and having a complete mental health breakdown - because people were actually being nice and kind to me.

The stay at the hospital was weird. People gave a damn and didn't try to use me being #transgender as a weapon against me, they treated me so well. It was so foreign and strange to me that it scared the hell out of me.

So wow, the internet got a little weird while I was on my grippy sock adventure.

One of the new things I am working on: just exposing myself to better places with good people, and stop the doom scrolling.

Playing Final Fantasy 14 again. Almost able to express emotion again. Getting my legs back under me.

Well, damn. I hate working in Java, but I never thought it would go THIS far.

Sorry I get so quiet sometimes, energy has been low - adapting to new medication has been a chore, and sometimes I just kinda vanish for a week to go into full self care mode.

It's a total pain on the close friends and loved ones I have, I know - and I always feel bad about it.

Sometimes it's hard to say 'love, it's not you - it's me' and have people actually listen to that. 🤣

Warning: LARGE CAT
