I've made two forums looking for help, but have yet to introduce myself, so I'll start now.
With the basics, I'm 24 and identify as a genderqueer person and demisexual. (Special snowflake nonsense. Ha.) I've been studying illustration, though I'm taking many steps back for myself as I have sever depression and will not add more stress to myself while sorting things out.
My experience with poly is limited. The first "poly relationship" I was in involved a dangerous lack of communication. Both partners were open to having others, but I was not discussed as joining and... things just got messy. Couple years ago and I finally was able to show the boyfriend why it was cheating.
The second is my now broken triad. Because of the first relationship, I started lurking on sites like this and wanting help when things went bad.
We were all not ready for that. Still, I know now that I do have a poly heart, even if it likes to wait for a bond and when I have myself in order I'll most likely end up with two partners again. I want to learn and be a sounding board to help as much as I can and make myself a bit more active in this community.
Now that I unloaded that baggage everywhere, I'll get to picking it up. It will nice to meet you all more formally.
