4 months agoCW: trauma, men
spoiler
That feeling when you realize that you're actually arguing with someone's trauma response, and there's no way any problems are getting resolved.
God save me from angry men with no emotional ability, no self awareness, and no perspective.
Bro literally stated the textbook definition of trauma induced hypervigilence, verbatim, and claimed that it was actually just them being more perceptive than everyone else in the world and yelled at me when I said "That is the textbook definitiuon of trauma induced hypervigilence, verbatim".
Ahhhhhh
CW: people being shits about depression.

While we're at it; Fuck you for resenting me for being sick. I have compassion for the stress and hardship of caring for someone else, but seriously, fuck you. You want me to apologize for being severely mentally ill? For being very literally incapable of basic functions? You want to yell at me because you had to clear some dishes out of the sink and move a laundry basket? Eat my shit and hair, and fuck off. I am perfectly happy suffering alone without being disrespected and patronized like that. If you can't have at least a little fucking grace and compassion then go fix your own shit somewhere else.
I am sick to death of people treating me like I am not doing literally everything possible to mitigate this disease. Fuck all of them to hell. "You just have to force yourself" is just the most infuriatingly ignorant, cruel, thoughtless thing you can say to someone with a severe chronic illness. All I'm thinking when people say that is that if they had what I had they wouldn't have survived as long as I have.
