I now have a new user name - HildaBeast. I chose to change because the name "Hilda" has come up over and over again in my mind. I feel like when that switch flips and I go into dark mode, I become Hilda. That's how I identify when I struggle. Hilda makes different choices than the person who has my given name does. Hilda is destructive, Hilda ruins things for me, Hilda IS a beast.

When I was a kid i use to read Broom Hilda comics. She wasn’t that bad. As you- not a beast. Just a struggler like us. Perhaps we should be Marvel heros.

@CanadaSpain I love that. Maybe that’s why the name came to me so naturally! who knows? but it feels right. All heroes have weaknesses/challenges. Just like WE do. But, strengths too. I hadn’t been thinking like that lately, Interesting.
