a meta observation
i have sympathy and patience for people's cri de coeur, and i try to have as much as possible
however, it is becoming increasingly easy to see one person having an untagged meltdown, then another person getting triggered into an untagged meltdown, then another person, etc., etc...
i'm not saying struggling with mental illness is bad, or that these people should be ashamed
i am saying maybe it's good to reflect on what you are putting out into the ecosystem from time to time
a meta observation
it's the painful lesson that we all gotta learn at some point and another -
one, your feelings are valid for you to have, your struggles are valid to struggle with
two, that validity does not mean you get to hurt other people
both are true, both at the same time, both in all the same situations, and that's what makes the whole dang thing suck more often than not.
