Thank you for the kind words, comrade <3

I’m not one for giving too many chances, either, and I’ve been really thinking about if this person has been a good friend to me all this time or not and what level of energy I’m willing to expend to continue such a relationship that is so easily tainted/manipulated by that garbage-ass therapist who so readily diagnosed me via hearsay.

You have very succinctly pinpointed my feelings on this, and expressed it far better than I ever could. I am feeling really put off by this person because of this, to the point where I’m starting to question whether they’ve really been a friend to me all this time, or if they’ve only been accepting of my masked self rather than my true self. Appreciate you sharing, and I hope you’re doing okay with your burnout, too. I’m going to give myself some time to think about how I want to approach this going forward.

I can see how that could be the case, the pathologizing based on other’s comments. It really turned me off wanting to pursue interacting with them further, especially the ‘fixing’ me part like you mentioned. My knee-jerk reaction was to ask why they were discussing me instead of themselves in a one-on-one therapy session I have no part of. I suppose I could try to explain or educate them, but I’m tired. I don’t know if I have the spoons to try to mend that perception of myself when I have other people in my life who just accept me as I am. I’ll have to really think on it. Appreciate your response, it’s validating in a way.

I know it’s just anecdotal but the amount of people around me who have gotten some sort of long-term illness, cancer, and/or neurological symptoms in just the past 4 years is low-key terrifying.

I can’t find an actual CDC source for this info, even the Outbreaks page for this month only lists Salmonella

Maybe it really is just horrible punching down on others by the majority. It’s hard not to get all doomer about it. Shit really isn’t okay for too many people and for no sensible reason. For what it’s worth, I don’t think you or anyone else deserves such awful treatment just for existing and surviving. We shouldn’t have to struggle or be forced into isolation to such extremes. I’m kinda rambling, sorry. This varied suffering feels so forced and deliberately cruel.

I’m sitting here wondering why it is so many others feel this way, because I’m right there with you. I never know what I’m doing wrong but for some reason everyone treats me like a nuisance or like I’m evil when I just want to spread love and see people filled with joy. Hugs to you, stranger, sorry things are so heavy.
