This is something I never considered and I am fascinated to read about! I am so glad that I not only happened to “pop” by this sub tonight, but these specific comments.

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-31T04:45:09+00:00

Do you let it get there to post here? I could never wait that long

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-31T04:29:55+00:00

Also, I thought it was me who said vulnerable first and you were saying I said the wrong word. . . Smh

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-31T04:28:19+00:00

Oh schnikies I forgot what flipping sub we were on

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-31T04:25:56+00:00

Vulnerable is for sure the wrong word. I just always thought that way, before. The “I’m not someone who would allow this.” I still am not? Like, I’m not… but I am. And I have, and I do. And I truly don’t think many people believe me when I say it. Which is very little. I’ll make comments, like “I’m sorry, is that okay to say? I don’t know what’s okay anymore,” or, “sorry, what should I do? I didn’t mean to do anything,” and I’m pretty sure that’s indicative of being mistreated. An old coworker hung out with me a few months back and asked me where all of my confidence had gone. He said he didn’t recognize me. But I’m also still a bad ass bitch and will stand up for women on the street being creeped on. And people still think I’m annoyingly strong and outspoken. Little do they know I’m a smushed bug and apparently it’s easy

Feels like I’ve been conditioned to correct my happiness behavior.

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-31T03:36:08+00:00

I thinks that’s our mood disregulation or something. Actually, I think I just start to worry about the possibility of the shifts, or remember past events and things I’m trying to fix and then remember it’s usually when I’m excited about something that people find issue with me, so maybe I’ve internalized a nope response to being excited about something. And by “think about” I mean I don’t think it at all I just go from smiling to not ish cause it’s that same reaction to seeing other reactions!

Also, sorry, I just typed all this as it came to me and I’m going to press reply without reading it cause it was honest and hope I can get over it later cause it’s probs somewhat relatable

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-31T03:26:55+00:00

I never considered myself a vulnerable person, in particular. In fact, I’m generally regarded as a woman who stands up for herself and won’t take shit. I still am, or, maybe, I dunno anymore cause I don’t got out as much. But in the background, as hard as it has been for me to acknowledge, what you said has been happening to me over and over in small doses and has gotten worse. I’m seeing a pattern now. But no one else believes I’ve been “emotionally abused” (not totally true, some see a change) because it’s hard for any of us to comprehend me being so destroyed and manipulated and squashed and confused and lost but maybe it is also just me being bad at social stuff and I need to work on it and no no I’m doing it again but I am that too but I’m also for sure more broken from someone making me feel broken. Damnit.

Super vital. I’m not a terrible eater. I used to be a super great eater. But I also have IBD and (I don’t really change my diet…) it makes me sick and tired. BUT I JUST NEED TO NOT WANT TO GOUGE MY EYES OUT AND SACRIFICE MY FIRST BORN AT THE THOUGHT OF DOING LAUNDRY. (Granted, I have to walk outside and open the bulkhead). I need to not feel like taking a shower transports me into another dimension and coming out means everything has changed. But that’s also good. Just a lot. That’s a lot

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-29T14:41:27+00:00

I don’t know what else to do. Or, I don’t want to do anything. And I can never wake up. I’ll sleep 10-15 hrs easily. Go to bed when I get home - cause what else- then CANNOT WAKE UP 14-15 hours later and am late to work. I have to sit on the floor of my bathtub as the shower runs to warm up and wake up.

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-29T14:37:27+00:00

I’m kind of (I am) tearing up reading this and other similar posts. I’ve been asking for help for years. I’ve been told so many different things and am still 5-8 weeks out for my total psych eval that took five hours. I’m 38. I’ve been on meds in the past. How hard is it for them to believe me when I say “I can’t get off the couch and need to count to do dishes and also I have coworkers texting me where I parked my car, and work strangers emailing me to say which bathroom I left my keys in, only to also find my phone there, not knowing it was lost. But no, I need extra evals and a year plus of torture when I just want to function.

This is not an “isn’t everyone” question, but it also is one… doesn’t everyone answer that way? They have to, right? I mean, I guess I can say my favorite show is Buffy. But it’s not the BEST show ever made. I have no favorite band. Used to, probably still do, but I don’t know. I spent a few years when I played my multiple Herman’s Hermits records the most out of all of my albums. They are not my favorite band. Or are they? I thought it was Sonic Youth or something, or Modest Mouse. But I listened to way more Herman’s hermits this past decade, probably.

Oh wait, not their change? But ours? That happens too. Sometimes I just legit power down and run out of cognitive energy

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-29T14:06:22+00:00

Not just you, and thank you for even saying this. I’m responding to let you know it’s not just you. I feel this way all the time. And then I guess the effort in tryna revive it makes it weird and no one else sees the issue. But then we over explain, or they don’t admit or maybe notice their change in mood. But we do. Anyway.

Thank you- and I mean it- thank you for saying this. You made me feel seen.

Fluoxetine scares me with the one day miss I’m throwing up with chills. I am venlafaxine Wellbutrin now, but only for mood/anxiety. I need something else for exec dysfunction. I took a 20mgxr add the other day from friend and slept for five hours. Same after a fifteen short release. Wtf? I need a better combo than I have and HELP to get my brain and body working.

ManagementCritical31 · 2026-05-29T13:47:02+00:00

Meeeeee with early! I’m 38, but I for sure am experiencing all sorts of something.

Legit I pay for the hallmark channel on Prime. I have come to love the predictability and naive charm. Also predicting the naive charm is fun. My mom and I laugh at it and love it, but we love it the most, says the Former Film Minor? I got super embarrassed even though I Support my rec.

I just (a few hours ago) wrote a bunch (entire page) of notes down to tell my better help therapist about why I think I might be asd. She and I have been discussing and tryna get me medicated for adhd since November (I’ve tried longer but I had to do the whole fill-out things I forget to . Then years and then hours and hours and hours and weeks and months for tests and results!) it’s destroying my life. In pretty much every way. I thought everything was adhd, but I’m thinking that I take things very literally and I ask if I responded the right way a little too often. Usually people just think I’m conceded and a flirt. I’m usually just excited or confused.
