I worry that I am someone who does this because I know I’ve let things get to me to the point of being paralyzed or unproductive in life. I made a post on this earlier in which I talk about some of my “trauma”, but tbh I just to want to be productive. I know other people go through worse and do amazing things. I don’t know if I am just making excuses for myself.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice about local peer support groups

I’ve been through similar experience and I’ve been able to reframe it into working towards helping others through finding that validation and learning more about the topics.

Thanks for sharing and good luck with what you’re doing!

I understand what you’re saying on an intellectual level, and I am just working towards making it realizable

Thanks for the thoughtful post

Thanks for sharing your experience, and I am sorry you went through that.

I am in therapy but it’s really hard for me to talk to someone about all this completely. It’s really the first time I’ve ever put it all down in text. I feel like I failed for letting things happen to me.

I hope you find a path you find is good for you! Thanks for sharing 💙
