You aren’t to blame for your trauma or mental health issues but you ARE responsible for how you treat others and you’re healing.

I feel responsible and then I feel worse and then I act more embarrassing and then that makes me feel worse and I feel worse about feeling worse and then I just get all worked up and implode and can’t think or act around other people properly and I try so hard to just calm down and stop being a fuckin spaz but that works me up more and I act even more like an dumb asshole

That’s easy to say “stop being conscious” “stop worrying” I’m trying man but trying makes me worry and self reflect more and it’s just so hard to keep it together when I barely feel pleasure ever like how do I make a river a cupful at a time and the dam is all tangled up

Yeah consider the response “I’m trying man” doesn’t really come across that way.

I’m sorry it read that way to you. You AREN’T a bad person if you aren’t “constantly improving.” In fact forcing that is counterproductive. Healing takes rest, sitting with things, patience from others and yourself. Sometimes it takes years of avoiding a thing l to level out enough to actively address it. And then it may take resting long after for something to click. If you need to lick your wounds do so! And when you’re ready to do more do so. That’s healing. It makes you human, not bad.
