I think what I found distressing about your post is that the reader has to read it from a first person point of view.
I have a tendancy to have those kind of thoughts occur to me.
In general I do a pretty good job of not letting them get out of hand.
But to see them right there
over
and over
and over
Is a way of brainwashing yourself into believing them.
Does that make sense?
I found it hard to think of other stuff after looking at that post.The boards are here for support.
But sometimes...
It helps others to think a bit about how what you say might affect others.
Other people are human.
They have their own issues.
They tend to appreciate it if you show some sensitivity to that.
Especially with respect to trigger warnings.Maybe type what you need to get out...
And sit on it for a day.
Then if it still needs to be said
Post away.
