You Are Not Alone If you need anyone to talk to, I’m here!
TRIGGER WARNING, MENTIONS OF TRIGGERING THOUGHTS, NEGLECT AND TOXICITY FROM PARENTS Hey- First Post since the long break And we’re off to an okay start My mental health has fallen a lot since the update post, but I’m doing a lot better than I used to be doing. This is what I would say about “Them” and to “Them” if I really had the guts. “Them” is a person who struggles with their mental health and identity a lot. They go to others for help, something that’s okay, but certain friends recently stopped checking in on everyone else to comfort them. I don’t mean just some of the time, I mean ALL the time. They talk about their anxiety and LGBTQ+ identity, and the struggles that come with that all the time. I get it, but some of us are also struggling. I’ve been battling with intrusive and self destructive thoughts and some other issues. Another friend is seriously struggling with insomnia and what is likely ADHD. A third friend is dealing with ADHD, a fourth with toxic parents and a fifth with neglect. We all have our issues, and it’s good to seek help, but your friends can only do so much. So much of the group hanging out has turned into talking about their sensory issues and anxiety. It’s gotten too much for me to try and help with anymore and I’ve fallen back into some of my self destructive thoughts and ways. I was discussing this with another friend and they agree. They also agree that with how “supportive” “Them” is, they box people into labels a lot. Just be aware on if your friends are turning into attention seekers - Indigo
