This is something I'll talk to my t on, but I believe this is hitting what she was trying to get me to understand.
For me to Knowingly going into a situation that Sparks are igniting at the moment, and with me not being stable enough- is irresponsible and invalidating to myself.
I can't save people, I shouldn't get myself in situations that may re-traumatize me or confirm negative core beliefs, especially when I'm aware that I'm not in a stable enough set of mind to take others ********.
That phrase, leave well enough alone, comes to mind right now.
Some may see that weak or selfish, but that's their perception. And I need to worry about right now is making peace with my decision on this topic. Why I'm taking steps with, I reached out to a few and will go from there.
I'm sorry if this is disagreed, but everyone is different- and that's ok.

This is a good post/reply ((beauflow)). You laid out the expense involved, where you are right now in your healing, and how you don't want to engage in doing something that could cause you harm. No, you are not being selfish or weak if you decide to do what's right for "you" in this challenge. You have a right to set your own boundaries.
