I also want to let you know that even though you included a **trigger** so I knew there was something potentially upsetting, I was very upset to read what you wrote. I felt scared & disturbed.
I care about you and it was upsetting to hear you talking like that. I'm not trying to guilt-trip you or anything like that; I just need to say how I felt.
I took it very seriously & I found the "lol" in the next post jarring. It seemed as though you couldn't have realized how it might be for your friends to read that. Maybe the lol was to let us know that you were okay?
I think it could be useful for you to print out the posts & discuss them with your therapist. This could give you some insight into what would prompt you to post like that.....or have those thoughts, for that matter.
When you're feeling like posting that kind of a post, I don't know if it's possible for you to stop yourself & ask yourself "what do I need right now?" "what do I want from my PB friends?" "is there anything I can do to help myself feel differently?" It's just a thought Deneb. I do hope you will discuss this stuff with your therapist.
There was a period of time when you were posting like that quite a lot, then there was really a very long time when you weren't. How are you feeling these days? I know you were really stressed about possibly changing your work position. Maybe these thoughts are triggered by how your life is right now?
much love, Kath
