I'm resilient, but seriously?
So, some really bad stuff is going on in my life right now. My parents, my boyfriend, and a few friends know, but I am trying my best to be outwardly positive. I don't want people to know what is going on because it looks bad for me, even though it is not actually my fault nor did I do anything.
I'm tired of being a pity case.
Part of it is residual trauma, part of it is employment challenges, and part of it is emotional dysregulation.
