I am sorry you feel judged... I hope you don't leave the forum.

I know, with me, some of my friends have gotten to the point where they get frustrated seeing me behave certain ways, without seeming to want to change anything. It hurts me when they tell me "just stop that" or "get over it", like it is really that easy...

People, even those with similar issues, sometimes don't understand that some things are harder for one person than they are for another. I have a really difficult time asking for help irl. I can't tell people what is really going on inside my head, because I feel like they won't get it... or they will think I'm crazy or overreact...

I applaud you for being able to share about ex-T and being able to share this post! That takes courage, that I don't know I have at the moment...

I believe the people who were commenting were trying to help in the way they thought was best. It just wasn't what you needed to hear. That doesn't mean they don't care. That's when we need to be assertive and express, like you did here, that the words hurt and upset us.

Please, consider hanging around. Maybe take a break from posting serious stuff and head over to games for a bit... I think good can still come from being in PC...
