Thank you for that tbh, that really helped out. But now I’m unstable for what a friend of mine called me. -Jake
(I’m not a professional in any regard, so if you feel like there’s even the smallest chance that you’re in danger rn, be sure to phone/text/chat message a crisis hotline/chatline, and the person who answers should be able to walk you through things until you feel a bit better -- like, better enough to regain a sense of being in-control of your thoughts and emotions. I know that type of instability is an awful, and oftentimes alarming sensation! Here are a couple links: one is for various hotlines, and one leads to 7 cups of tea, which is similar to a hotline from what I’m gathering, but in chat format~!)
No worries~!!! I hope the person you were comforting is feeling better... whoever it was that launched a slur at them because of their polyamorous relationship needs to get over themselves. Someone else’s relationships are none of their business anyway, and don’t affect them in the least, so it’s pathetic that they had to try to hurt your friend like that (sounds like a massive insecurity issue).
Oh, goodness, it’s always painful when a friend hurts your feelings/causes harm to you (regardless of whether they intended to or not, tbh). : ( Sounds like you need (and very much deserve to have) some time for yourself to recuperate, maybe? Like, now that you’ve comforted/supported the person who was called a slur, it’s probably time to take a break and focus on healing yourself and regulating your own emotions! It could be that anger from your previous ask, it could be the pain and instability you’re feeling from what your friend called you, anything at all that you need support and comfort for~!
Definitely reach out to a friend or someone else who’s close to you (who you trust not to call you the same thing your other friend referred to you as) if you’re currently able to! It’s always fair to seek out the same comfort and support that you’ve extended to other people~!!!
