I hate having meltdowns because the smallest things trigger my fight or flight response. It’s uncomfortable, I hate feeling so upset/sad. I don’t want to be like this, but it’s like my brain is finally catching up to decades worth of suppressed trauma

Unfortunately I just now lost a close friend, after posting this, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to feel safe ever. That was my safe person, everything just got a whole lot worse. I keep losing friends, and I’m being told it’s not my fault, but then why do people keep leaving me. I feel like an unlovable monster

I am really sorry about that. I get how you feel and that its hard to feel safe when u feel so misunderstood. I wish we could be friends cause I wouldn’t do that

OMG there are so many times where I’m trying so hard to not shut down in public. Also I’m not a part of this community because I’m not a girl, but I saw this post because it was reposted in the Neurodivergent group. Otherwise I wouldn’t comment.

But omg there was an alcoholic girl every day that was stalking and harassing me in my form because she thought I didn’t live there even though I showed her that my student ID opened the door, and she snatched the glasses off of my face and shoved me and blocked me from entering. I had multiple meltdowns/shutdowns in front of her and she just saw that as opportunities to take advantage of me more.
