somebody being weird about it usually says more about them and that is easy to write and hard to feel, no score is kept in here

- quiet_head_qi — fair, you are allowed to feel that 21:53
you are allowed to feel however you feel about this and nobody here keeps score
[edited]came back to say thank you this is a kind channel. nobody gets told they are doing it wrong for having a feeling, and that is allowed
scrolled past that, felt like a fraud
say that again, never knew what the noise was
nothing in this room is medical advice and mental health advice least of all, no explanation needed
feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
i came back at month 16 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected, thank you for saying it
nothing in this channel is therapy and some of it has been the closest thing i had at the time

the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards, take your time
writing it down helped me more than saying it out loud, and other people are the opposite, kind channel, no judgement
for anyone feeling like a fraud comments from family land badly more often than people expect and you are allowed to ask them to stop, that helped me, it may not help you
losing a coping mechanism is a real loss even when the mechanism was harmful. that is allowed to be hard, and that is allowed
thats grief honestly
