SIGNAL FUCKING BOOST

I don’t think people realize how much strength it takes to pull your own self out of an anxiety attack or a panic attack. So if you’ve done that today or any day, I’m proud of you.

things i had no idea i needed to hear

You’re not alone, you’ll always have me, fuck everyone else. 

[innerpeaceonly]

I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.

one of the more valuable things I’ve learned in life as a survivor of a mentally unstable parent is that it is likely that no one has thought through it as much as you have. 

no, your friend probably has not noticed they cut you off four times in this conversation. 

no, your brother didn’t realize his music was that loud while you were studying. 

no, your bff or S.O. doesn’t remember that you’re on a tight deadline right now.

no, no one else is paying attention to the four power dynamics at play in your friend group right now.  

a habit of abused kids, especially kids with unstable parents, is the tendency to notice every little detail. We magnify small nuances into major things, largely because small nuances quickly became breaking points for parents. Managing moods, reading the room, perceiving danger in the order of words, the shift of body weight….it’s all a natural outgrowth of trying to manage unstable parents from a young age. 

Here’s the thing: most people don’t do that. I’m not saying everyone else is oblivious, I’m saying the over analysis of minor nuances is a habit of abuse. 

I have a rule: I do not respond to subtext. This includes guilt tripping, silent treatments, passive aggressive behavior, etc. I see it. I notice it. I even sometimes have to analyze it and take a deep breath and CHOOSE not to respond. Because whether it’s really there or just me over-reading things that actually don’t mean anything, the habit of lending credence to the part of me that sees danger in the wrong shift of body weight…that’s toxic for me. And dangerous to my relationships. 

The best thing I ever did for myself and my relationships was insist upon frank communication and a categorical denial of subtext. For some people this is a moral stance. For survivors of mentally unstable parents this is a requirement of recovery.

this is especially difficult (and important!) in situations with a lot of survivors, because often everyone WILL be noticing and responding to the subtext, which creates feedback channels where paranoias can seem valid especially as others react to subtext. but that’s all the more reason for clear communication. because every survivor comes from a different context (even two siblings who survived the same abuse have different life contexts for it), people aren’t actually reading, and reacting, to the same subtext. like, people can easily share subtext. people who share oppression share subtext especially if the oppressor is around. people who’ve had a lot of experiences together share subtext. sometimes you can just “be on the same vibe” as someone. but these work around constructive, community-forming activity. these harmful anxious sorts of subtexts (passive-aggression, forgetting things about people, etc) are cues we learn from growing up abused, reacting to the specific situation of that abuse, and so attempting to read other situations through that lens will inevitably distort the real situation, even if it is a dangerous / abusive one. which is why its so important for survivors to be direct with each other, especially in those situations where there is an abusive or oppressive dynamic occurring. (obviously things are more complicated if for safety reasons you can’t communicate openly, or can’t be sure who to trust, but it’s important even still to find ways of directly checking in and not pre-judging situations)

One of the things I hate about anxiety is never being certain if this is how other people feel or if I’m just a disaster. 

Like, is the thing that I did really not a big deal to other people? Or are they, too, wondering what the fuck is going on with me?
