Did you experience restriction, or the limiting, of your food consumption by your parents or caregivers during childhood? If so, please consider participating in a research study. The link below will take you to the informed consent. If you consent to participate, you will be asked a series of questions about your childhood experiences and current psychological and eating experiences. You will also be asked basic demographic questions. The aim of this study is to assess childhood experiences, including food restriction, as they relate to adult behaviors and psychological health. At the end of the study, you will be able to provide your email if you would like to be entered into a raffle for the chance to earn one of thirty $20 gift cards. This survey is estimated to take around 15 minutes. I wanted to add that I have not received a response from the moderator about whether it is okay to post this (I have messaged a few times), so if this is not okay, please let me know!

previous lostwave, /r/HLWIT - this song says very good about boundaries!

disclaimer: please refrain from mentioning CPTSD-related activity on my channel, as I consider Youtube to be a separate version of myself. Thank you.

I never knew that my childhood or adolescence might really be a fuel for my creativity, but since I've always thought that art is a reflection of the creator, then it makes complete sense in my case.

I'm an amateur composer and keyboardist who has lately been on the journey of self-acceptance and discovery. What makes me me is more than depression or my neurodivergence or even the neglect I went through. I have succumbed many times to escapism, limerent ways of thinking, depression, and self harm in the past. And I found that the best outlet if I could not engage in those other things was to be music. Particularly the Baroque, which is a passionate interest of mine.

I'd like to share at least a couple pieces which best describe different states of mind. In the midst of seasonal depression, I wrote 'Silent Anger, Silent Void' which was the most accurate way I could describe what it's like to exist in depression. Since then I've better identified the root causes and learned to cope more healthily.

To the polar opposite, 'Peace on Earth Eternal' comes with the joy of actually being happy for relatively the first time in my life: self-acceptance and understanding and deep inner peace. Aside from this example, much of my music tends to be in the minor-key, as I feel that minor-key music best expresses things like desperation or turmoil.

Thank you for reading and listening; sorry for the wall of text.

It's possible that art has been part of my CPTSD cope since ever. It keeps coming out of me... I identify as an outsider artist. I have to keep going whether anyone says anything or nothing.
Anyway I made this game or "walking experience" in Unity. it is free / not for sale and will remain that way. It's fair to say music is a big part of the landscape, maybe someone would enjoy it:

It feels good to have finally set these songs in their forever homes, this puzzle box made of C# Peace and good wishes
