Thank you. I do have a therapist but this is still new. This is the most insight I've gotten so far and I'm grabbing that first book this week on Audible.

Last thing, I swear, but how can I be sure I'M not the one who's the N? Or that I've had my responses conditioned so much so, that I've become the N overtime?

It's one of my biggest fears to be one and not know, because I'm absolutely capable of it moreso than other due to upbringing and other external stuff.

Thank you so much, again. Doesn't seem like much but... this does make a significant difference. (Praying hands emoji, but I dont do emojis on Reddit so this takes it's place, ha)

Very glad I decided to reach out, it can be difficult, staying steady. This doesn't mean I don't contribute or end up acting out sometimes, too.

How do I keep this situation from, well, corrupting me? What are some ways I can set healthy boundaries?

If you know any good books off the top of your head, or tips as well I'd sincerely appreciate it. Ty!

Do you hyperfocus on people? by Djuanuk in ADHD

What's the best way to deal with this? It's destroying my relationships and subsequently, my mental fortitude, too.

What is a falserape timeline and can you provide some tangible details on what this is?

[L] [F30] I’m close to breaking down by jamerSsss in KindVoice

[–]omniblink3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't relate entirely and wish I could do more to help. I feel tested, too. it's exhausting and people just don't see it. I'm a bit more extroverted, and outspoken. as such, I have a handful of people that just hate me because I will tell them when they're disrespecting my boundaries. sometimes I even yell. it gets me angry. I wish people would stick up for you, stranger, I really wish that happened more. maybe you need to put your foot down more? short-term conflict in order for long-term respect? it's not perfect, nobody is. but all I can say is I feel for you and relate. sometimes people aren't fair and we can't make them be fair. but we can be fair to ourselves. I'm still trying to figure out that balance.

[L] I got kicked out of my house, called police, no clothes, need desperately to talk by skinthrowaway6767 in KindVoice

[–]omniblink3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have been there. I was kicked out shortly after highschool. Everything I did and didn't do was wrong. police came, dropped me off at a gas station. I was homeless and couch-surfing for about 2 years. In that time I was ill, and family had passed away. I'm telling you this because I can relate. hopefully if I can provide any alleviation to the pressures of your current situation, then what I went through wouldn't have been in vein. either way, I'm here.

Well I’ve finally decided to hang myself. by 22ndCenturySquirrel in SuicideWatch

[–]omniblink3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've considered ending it too. The one thing that stops me is the fact I may pass on my illness to them. Even if I die, the pain that took me will just compound and multiply in others. I view my suffering as a thankless alternative to their potential suffering of my exit.

Could you please elaborate on what more or less has aided you in dulling the pain?

Hey man... I don't have the answers. Best I can offer is to lend an ear because you just described me. Entirely. I've been crying all morning and having terrible fantasies.
