I fall into so many psycho-social traps even when I “behave impeccably” or as near to that as a fuzzy bear or most people could... no wonder I suppose some people (mostly irl) have “given up on me”

How to get the balance “right” between being authentic and ??? I don’t know. It is hard being “sensitive”..... that is unlikely to change, being sensitive, however much I might want it to. And then I get close to one of the triggering topics for me, and why I can’t be more supportive here..

Possible trigger:

meds . I’ve tried to reply to most people in this particular forum for years but recently the med issue has become too much of a trigger for me. And please, I do not want to discuss meds in this post.

Possible trigger:

Just a rant. I don’t even open some posts any more, and I think other long term members are the same, it’s my personal issue. I personally think everyone (or almost) everyone can be helped, but I can’t always be that person.... there were a couple of members who aren’t here any more who I used to reply to but the meds issue and on meds, off meds, su threats etc... certain words I am allergic to being used in every post .... . And issues in the forest I live in irl I can’t tolerate meds at all and then I find a post of mine which I worry might have triggered people I care about.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I am back to feeling that I’m a “bad paws” ... this is a “boring” post and hasn’t even said what I was wanting to say...

I suppose people who don’t worry about “offending” people are “strong” since it’s impossible not to “offend” or trigger someone somewhere. Thud. Yawn at me . But of course, it’s not that simple at all... lack of empathy does not equal “strength”

Thank you @little turtle for hugging my post
And for not judging...

I think I’d like to be a turtle. I feel like deleting my post. Yawn

Thanks unaluna for the hugs

Certain "simple" treatments for depression, the "first-line" treatments in most medical systems, don't work for you. Fact. And you are strong enough not to tell the doctors what they expect to hear about "improvement". Telling the truth is a virtue. It may not be convenient, but it's a virtue.

What are we to do when caretakers are limited by official treatment protocols? What are we to do when they've got no idea how to help and refuse to admit it?

I don't have an answer.
Self-care? Self-palliative-care?

You are strong dear Fuzzybear. It is not easy in our forest to refuse their no.1 treatment option. Rohag is right it is honest.

We are all AS IS and cannot help being triggered by our emotions. I think for me personally the event/situation that causes the unwanted feeling can be avoided to a degree. Big and small life event sometimes force their way into my self enforced prison.

I am sorry that you are triggered. I am sending much love and respect to your cub and snake.
