Dem dang generalizations give me more work, so many times. Lmao
But yeah, I get it.
I find the most optimistic approach to hell having been wrought on a life is “life built beyond the gaping hole”, being the type of person who focuses on the times when they made it work for themselves.
And honestly, that may do more to help people than a miracle cure. I’ve lost my family, but look what I’ve gained. I can’t function, but look at these moments where it worked, for me. Looks like people won’t understand me again, but damn it, at least this time I KNOW myself and can see this coming. Baby steps, sometimes, but especially for a younger crowd without self-expeeience, it’s more ideal to show how an adult copes with the mess: both with and without help.
And there’s scale of severity. I’ve never taken help with my issues because I’m functioning. I’ve met people who can’t cope. No shame either direction.
