Introducing Out of My Mind

Where Survival Marries Sabotage—and Grace Forgot How to Remember

*“Fifty years I lived buried under trauma. Five years I built this farm. And now… FLA. An enlarged fucking heart. Time’s ticking. Isn’t that the cruelest joke of all?
Welcome to the only place where I let my brain talk—and believe me, it’s got a lot to say.”


⚡ THE REALITY CHECK

This isn’t another pastel-clean mental-health journey.
This is my brain—gaslit, ignored, mislabeled, mis-medicated for decades.
Now it’s speaking up, searing through every neurodivergent, trauma-scarred corner:

  • Fifty years of abuse and erasure
  • Five years of neurodiversity reclamation and TheFunnyFarm build
  • Today: facing FLA, a failing heart, and a clock that didn’t get the message

If irony had a body, it’d be me.


🧩 WHAT MAKES THIS SECTION DIFFERENT

  • All of it: Now. No tidy recovery arc, no feel-good flashbacks
  • System logs from a mind under siege—cracks, glitches, reboots, creative hacks
  • Each snippet is a thought file capturing meltdown, adaptation, survival

🔧 HOW TO JUMP IN

Hit any glowing node and meet the mind’s internal voices:

  • The inner child who held the fort
  • The intelligent survivor who built this farm
  • The sarcastic firewall that laughs at psychiatric diagnoses
  • The frontal lobe that just whispered, “What did I forget?”

This isn’t a memoir—it’s a live feed from a brain refusing to shut down, even when the hardware is failing.

You’re here because you’ve endured. You’re smart enough to ask the questions. You still stand.


🎤 WHY THIS MATTERS

  • Because stories heal brains—research shows narrating trauma organizes memory and strengthens resilience (medium.com)
  • Because nowhere else sees someone like us—misdiagnosed, erased, burnt out
  • Because we deserve to live inside our minds, not outside them, unseen

🔓 YOUR WARNING

This is not easy. It’s loud, raw, unfiltered.
It’s what it sounds like inside the skull of someone who has:

  • Lived through hell
  • Built a sanctuary mid-collapse
  • And is now watching the clock—and their mind—slip

But guess what?
This mind isn’t done talking.
Not by a longshot.

Support the Wreackage

This one’s sacred. If it hit you in the gut—or gently wrecked you in that beautiful way—consider tipping. This drawing holds memory, grief, grit, and so much more than ink. Every dollar supports the story behind it. The fading mind that still writes. The fire that refuses to go out. Thank you for witnessing it. Thank you for helping me keep it alive—one slow, stubborn, unforgettable spark at a time.

What does it sound like in your head? Have a diagnosis, a meltdown, or a masterpiece? Let it out here. This isn’t madness. It’s memory. Say what yours won’t let you forget.
