Couldn't sleep last night - ease my fears of psychosis

But I think that's just my brain's inability to tolerate hearing someone point out exactly how f*cked up and bad he was. It's like it goes "nope, there is no way someone could really think that, therefore they are pulling your leg"

Yep - I can totally relate to that. I still have a hard time seeing the monster in the person because it's easier to think I'm insane that to think I came into contact with someone who was that horribly evil. I'm slowly (s.l.o.w.l.y) getting better but it is still hard for me to take sympathy(?) for what I consider my stupidity.

But you really don't seem like the type that would do that, and I know it's just my mind playing tricks on me.
LOL -- I see you've met me! I just had this conversation with someone else --- That I was born without the "sugar coat it" gene! Tact and diplomacy are not my strong points :rolleyes::D
 
@Scarlet13 Aww. I'm sorry that it triggered you :( but I understand, I've been there, with my own triggers. I have made posts that have initiated the panic attack sequence. All sorts of things. But, I feel like it helps me progress in my healing journey, even if I occasionally bite off more than I can chew.

I just want you to know that your post -really- helped me, so even though you are suffering because of it, I am really thankful that you pushed your limits and wrote that for me. I hope you feel better soon, and I hope your healing goes well. Know your post did some good for someone else :)

That is such a good way to word it, that is exactly how I feel about it, I think "no, I'm just insane" (having gone through psychosis just throws a drum of gasoline on that fire) and all of that.

Yes, it is really hard to take sympathy for what you feel was caused by your own stupidity, failures, etc.

I think that can be a good quality, for sure. Sometimes people just need to hear it straight, no sugar coating.
