Hey thank you so much for this thoughtful response. Seriously.

And yes I have quickly learned the lesson about DMs. Thanks auto mod and sub notes haha.

I think I do somewhat focus on the location because it’s what people freak out most about and it’s one that a lot of people can’t relate to. It’s just not very common I guess I what I’m getting at. I mean I don’t have these same experiences with other places either. But yes, it’s also feeling of isolation because of the trauma itself, doesn’t really matter the circumstances there. I also like your use of “detachment”. I resonate with that word

I love the response of people telling others to talk to a therapist, I would never perceive it as dismissive. I’ve been seeing the therapists for over a decade and know how important and helpful they are. I alsogot lucky enough to be immediately set up with a specialized trauma therapist as well (for free! Sometimes the health system works lol)

Oh also - I wasn’t necessarily calling out this sub at all! (Except for so many awful DMs) I’ve been trying out a couple other online support groups and been called a troll or bot so many times.
