You are fighting for yourself right now. You are fighting against people who are a HUGE part of the problem,
That’s true
It kind of reminds me of what my therapist was saying, that if I don’t picture it as part of my life in twenty years, it’s probably something I shouldn’t bother with
Except animals who don’t live more than twenty years :p
in an environment that is detrimental to you and it is causing you to struggle way more than anyone should have to.
yeah, it’s making me depressed and limiting my views on things. It’s the worst place ever.
I mean, I just had a mini fight over an expensive book and I don’t want food. She’s doing her best and now I feel bad, but this house is ridiculous
You DO have to do what will help you heal - even if it means upsetting other people.
I guess I need to learn to upset people. For some reason that scares me. Probably because of that thing where I think upsetting my mom will get me into huge trouble? Or because every time I upset Brandi she’d start cutting herself, hitting herself in the head, threatening suicide, threatening to hurt me, threatening to tell my mom I was schizophrenic even though I wasn’t?
Can you talk to your T about being assertive with the family to make it a bit easier for you?
Yes, and I think technically I’m on my way there. My therapist noted that I was good talking about anything and everything no matter who was in the room, until my mom came in. Then I was either mute or saying things in a way that my therapist didn’t recognize.
She wants to do EMDR on it. Last time I did EMDR on a family member, I started having intense nightmares all the time about him cutting himself too much. From that time he did and the police showed up.
Brandi came by at 2am to help me chill, then the hospital released my brother without making sure he was in therapy or anything.
I was mad because I had told my mom that it was going to happen, and she called me paranoid. My brother almost died, but I was paranoid.
And yes. I had to go to school the next day.
Weird that Brandi did. She missed so much school that if it hasn’t been for Bush and no child left behind, she’d have just flunked out.
I will take that as permission
I’m definitely not interested in being friends with this person
Hopefully she doesn’t become a therapist because she’d be dangerous
Fun fact: Brandi wanted to be a therapist. When she first told me that, I laughed. That was before I even realized I didn’t like her. She always seemed dangerous to me
you don't have the skills yet to tell them to go away
I do not. I’m worried about hurting people
So I should ghost? Lol
Don’t want her to think I got shot either, though.
The darn thing had me laughing hysterically while I looked like a lunatic.
Oh no!!!!
That’s hilarious :p
.....do you know what kind of wasp? :p
Fun fact: the entire time I’ve been typing this, I’ve had an ant crawling on my leg
I didn’t want to spook her yet. But she crawled on my phone and got a lil spooked anyway
Even though we haven't met and (probably) never will you have become very special to me! Just wanted you to know people care about you!
Thank you :) I needed that today
You’re cool too!
I get excited when you like things I say — it makes me feel like I am posting quality content™ :p
