No worries, it was just an attempt to avoid absolutes. I guess itās also fueled by the trope of āwe are all cool, except for [Fnord], **** that guy.ā But I cannot think of anyone who fits.
Crap. It seems I love all yāall. Even that guy.
Take care of yourselves!
Iām not okay. Iām completely exhausted and unable to hold it together. I completely broke last evening and I fear a spiral may have started.
Know that there are mutants here who care about you. I care about you.
If you need to vent, let loose. Thatās what this topic is for.
Been there for my own reasons, folks back here helped a lot.
Iām another mutant who cares about you. Iām sending you a virtual hug
Good vibes, virtual hugs, and best of luck!
Hey, if you need to talk to someone in confidentiality, reach out. We all are here for you. And maybe someone is geographically close enough to lend a hand.
I mean it. If there is anything I can do to help you, let me know. Or let another happy mutant know.
Oh no, I hope you can relax or rest however works best for you, and at least stop the spiral.
Big hugs. And I feel you. Iām putting on a brave face, but all cracked and exhausted behind the mask.
I will sit here with you.
Iām yet another one who cares. You matter in my world, and Iām here if you need support, an ear, or a shoulder.
Thanks for the support. The spiral did start, the only question now is how long. This month has been hell. Iām stressed, overworked and terrified over the ongoing genocide against trans people. Iād managed to hold it together but Monday evening pushed me over the edge. By choice I had a very busy January, had fun and made a new friend and maybe a second, however Iām exhausted and was about to get a couple days off when suddenly that changed. That put me over the edge. Everything Iāve been suppressing is coming out uncontrollablyā I started drinking today even though I know thatās only adding fuel to the fire.
Just remember, you have a bedroom here in Tijuana if you need it. Iām only 10 miles from the border to San Diego.
Iām on the edge of something similar, trying desperately to not fall over the edge. Itās scary as hell being trans right now, which adds a baseline level of stress to everything else weāre dealing with. I really hope you can get out of the spiral soon.
Always happy to talk if you need it. Hugs offered.
I totally missed this when comments were still open, but it really resonated with me and made me think others visiting this thread might find it helpful:
Itās almost like an analogy of the āhousing firstā approach to homelessness, but for when you already have a home but are struggling to keep your shit together. I found it well worth the 12 minute listen.
Iām feeling relatively better than I did a couple days ago. Iām not doing well, but I avoided the worst of it. I was able to get some rest and now Iām at least able to hold back tears again.
