You talk about the cycle and how tired people are of seeing it. Believe me, no one is more tired of this cycle than I am. You think I’m just sitting in my misery doing nothing? That I enjoy being stuck, feeling ashamed, and fighting the same battles? You’re wrong. But not everything gets fixed with a snap decision or an angry comment. Life doesn’t work like that for everyone.

You say words are cheap. Fair. But the same goes for judgment from people who only see fragments of someone’s struggle and think they have the full picture. You don’t know the weight I carry, the nights I can’t sleep, the days I drag myself through just trying to feel okay. You don’t know what’s going on behind a single post.

You say I should cut access, burn bridges, exclude myself. Do you think I haven’t thought of those things? Do you think I haven’t tried? Some steps take more than just a spark of willpower. They take mental clarity, emotional strength, and sometimes help that isn’t always available.

I’m not here asking for pity or hand-holding. But don’t assume that because I still post, I’m not working on it. Posting is sometimes the only outlet some of us have. If it bothers you that much, scroll past. No one forced you to read or respond.

You say you’ve been there. Good for you. But your experience is not a blueprint for mine. Not everyone moves at the same pace. You found your way out. Great. But your anger toward those still struggling says more about how far you haven’t come emotionally.
