I’m using carnivorous plants as a way to curb responses & triggers associated with PTSD—& it’s ridiculously effective, too.Welcome to the forum. Plants do have a way of bringing out the good and yeah, most of us have gone down the rabbit hole lol. People here are very helpful and the seed bank is a great way to expand your collection on the cheap. A lot of us donate seeds for others to use. Also, if you're looking to expand, you can check the sale/trades/wants section where people will post things they're looking to rehome.
I recently upgraded enclosures after keeping 3 mislabeled nepenthes sanguinea alive for 16 months; terrarium to tent. I will put a current list of my collection up in the list section.
I received my first Dionae & Sarracenia as gifts 20+ years ago, and I remember they died within two weeks. In 2017, an old roommate bought a drosera, Sarracenia purpea, & nepenthes alata for pest control. I cared for them, until I moved. In 2018, I put some Sarracenia outdoors on my pool deck... which spiraled quickly into my now obsession—I’m sure you can all relate!
I remain a permanent beginner. I will never stop asking questions, for someone else’s opinion, or for help. I really am grateful for the resources & community here, & hope you don’t mind if I ask you for your help, knowledge, &/or feedback.

For $7 I'd have to pick one of those up myself!
