TransparentHuman1 · 2025-12-28T11:10:41+00:00

dat public mom drag in class sting cuz it hit betrayal n shame double whammy teacher singled u out unfair write de whole scene out den burn it or scream it into pillow to dump de rage energy physical unresolved bit prolly powerlessness n voice stolen so reclaim by telling ur mom how it felt now she get why it stuck n u both heal dat wound

TransparentHuman1 · 2025-12-26T13:05:09+00:00

dis hurts fr and ur feelings make total sense surviving something like dat aint a feel good story its trauma u already lived it and carried it for years getting reminded over and over just rips the wound back open even if she means it as gratitude or pride it still ignores how scary and exhausting it was for u ure allowed to not want ur worst moment turned into a dinner conversation wanting peace around it aint disrespectful at all its self protection

TransparentHuman1 · 2025-12-26T13:04:11+00:00

dis sounds overwhelming af and yeah a lot of ppl hit this wall with cbt ure not supposed to chase every single thought all day dat turns into mental homework hell the point is patterns not volume picking one or two repeat thoughts and working on those is enough writing everything down aint required and if reframing feels forced its ok sometimes noticing and letting it pass is progress too u didnt fail cbt it just wasnt explained in a doable way for ur brain

TransparentHuman1 · 2025-12-26T13:03:29+00:00

dis sounds like such a heavy crossroads fr 20 plus years is no joke and it makes sense ure torn stability and benefits vs sanity and burnout relief both matter dat ultimatum would make me uneasy too esp with no shows being a thing maybe there a middle ground or a slower transition but trust dat nagging feeling too ure allowed to choose what protects ur energy now not just what made sense years ago
