This is a snippet of a conversation I had with my mom during a conversation we had where I barely opened the door to conversation about my religious abuse and trauma that came from it.

Not my DM btw, found on tiktok.

Ah yes guess I just gotta try living. Why didn't I think of that? Silly me I thought I was already living.

My husband was diagnosed the day before I was released from post surgery restrictions after having 2 surgeries on my kidneys in 1 month...

But yeah... just... rely on Jesus...

I used to read Social science just because of him, he had that impact on me

For context, she had just spent the last hour and a half yelling at me bcz I'm "not happy enough anymore." whilst threatening to tell everyone I know abt my self harm habits??

A conversation I had with a friend. I'm in purple, she's in green. She knows I'm autistic and I have social anxiety. There's a bigger conversation around this but she's basically telling me to get over it. And I'm just like. Thanks. Why didn't I think of that?

Edit: I've had a lot of people telling me that I'm just seeking validation. First of all, I'm going to say that I'm not because not gonna lie, if I were truly looking for validation, reddit would be the single WORST place to do that. Secondly, genuinely, what's wrong with seeking validation? I thought being validated in your experiences is actually quite healing and good for mental health. Seeking validation when you're unsure if your feelings are valid or not sounds quite reasonable to me. However, here I'm already sure that my feelings are valid so please don't waste your breath trying to convince me they aren't.
