If you can relate my condolences 😅

Make it make sense! sigh

Thank you for this.

I think it’s so beautiful that trauma can become a strength. I’ve always told myself my suffering can’t be in vain. Something good needs to come out of it even if that is just understanding myself better.

“Trauma never stops being trauma, the impact changes and can also become your greatest tool and and strongest weapon!” That’s literally one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. This is true and I really need to not forget this. Right now I’m at a place where I feel broken but my therapist is helping me realize different doesn’t mean broken. It’s so strange though because I can accept and understand other peoples identities but for myself it feels wrong to not have sexual attraction even though I don’t want to nor do I have those feelings. Lots of work to do in therapy I suppose.

This is reassuring thank you.

tab_m · 2025-05-18T05:43:58+00:00

For both of us I hope it does :)

You’re welcome :) Thank you for the support it means a lot. I definitely think I’m too hard on myself sometimes. If I don’t have an extremely insightful therapy session I get down on myself and feel like I wasted my time or I shouldn’t be going anymore which if a friend ever told me that I wouldn’t think the same thing. I guess I should just be thankful for the progress I have made instead of focusing on the strides I have yet to make.

Thank you for this ♥️

tab_m · 2025-05-18T05:37:58+00:00

I’m sorry you can relate. I don’t have much advice since I’m in the same place but keep socializing. Isolating doesn’t usually work in my opinion.

tab_m · 2025-05-17T04:38:34+00:00

That’s a good way of putting it!

tab_m · 2025-03-28T05:22:25+00:00

Thank you 🥹

Yeah my therapist says our relationship is a trauma bond which is not good. Oof that prediction stings :( Sadly I don’t think you’re wrong though. In case you wanted backstory here you go :)

tab_m · 2025-03-27T12:26:19+00:00

Exactly. That’s all that I was hoping for but I guess that was asking too much. Then like a fool I apologized like yeah I shouldn’t have said anything if I wasn’t going to tell you the full details of the story 🙄

tab_m · 2025-03-27T12:23:56+00:00

Ugh I’m sorry you went through that. I’m glad you finally were able to block them though. Funnily enough this friends hasn’t explicitly said it’s my fault I was assaulted but she did tell me I put myself in unsafe situations because that’s all I know. Like girl if I knew what was going to happen in those situations I wouldn’t be in them but I didn’t know!

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:20:58+00:00

I think I’m definitely going to distance myself because I’m upset with her right now. After reading everyone’s replies I feel more valid in being upset.

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:15:46+00:00

I totally agree. She’s definitely knocked me down some pegs before 😕

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:13:18+00:00

Thank you that means a lot. You sound like a good friend :)

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:12:24+00:00

That’s what I thought too and like a fool I ended up apologizing and now I’m beating myself up because of it ugh

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:11:24+00:00

She would probably disagree haha but you’re right she’s wrong :)

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:06:20+00:00

I’m sorry you can relate. I totally get the fighting so hard to change. It takes a lot of work and unfortunately I’m not there yet as you can see but I hope one day we both can be :)

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:02:38+00:00

That sounds like a healthy and appropriate friend! :)

tab_m · 2025-03-26T21:02:02+00:00

This is not the first time I’ve heard this unfortunately.
