Tumblr post dated August 22, 2019 reading: "Can't wait for, like, 2025 when we look back on the 2018/2019 era and say "hey, remember when we were all really freaking depressed? That was a crazy time! Glad we aren't like that anymore" Response dated May 10, 2025: "Hey," Answer from OP: "Don't say anything"

And particularly the ones you know have expressed suicidal ideation in the past because they can't bear to be pushed away and ghosted again.
"Men die by suicide nearly 4x more often than women. Yet they're far less likely to ask for help. This isn't weakness - it's silence. And it's killing them. Check in on your strong friends. Especially the men."

Photoshop of Donald Trump standing with his back to the camera, saluting a completely empty tennis court and bleachers. In front of the bleachers, Bernie Sanders is photoshopped sitting in a chair with his legs crossed and surgical mask covering his face.

Of course I can do it alone. I always do. I've learned how to carry groceries, pain, memories, solitude, compliance sometimes all at once. I've figured out how to untangle things no one else noticed they were knotted. I answer my own questions, fight my own doubts, cheer myself when the silence is too loud. People say, "You're so strong," like it's a gift, not something I built brick by brick when no one showed up. But yes, I can do it alone. I just wish I didn't always have to.

I was going to save this in case I ever heard from her again (unlikely as that is). But, it's a sure bet plenty of other people need to see this, too.
A trigger I often see in trauma survivors is the urge to over-explain - especially during or after conflict. They're not just sharing their feelings. They're anticipating how those feelings might be received... and trying to control the fallout. It sounds like: "Just to clarify..." "I'm not mad, I just..." "This isn't a big deal, but..." This isn't overthinking. It's a survival strategy. One the nervous system built to prevent abandonment, anger, or escalation. Because at some point, being misunderstood wasn't just uncomfortable - it was unsafe. So, the brain learned: "If I say it perfectly, maybe I'll avoid the explosion." But now, even when things are safe, the body still braces. Still over-explains. Still performs emotional damage control - just in case. With healing, that can change. Your body can learn that clarity doesn't require disclaimers. And you don't have to earn safety through perfection.

Not my work, but it won't be seen anyway so I guess it doesn't matter any more than I do. 💔
They judge me before they get to know me They judge me, before I even speak a word. One glance, and I become something they fear. Before they take the time to understand, I'm pushed aside, labeled by the weight of their own insecurities. "Too quiet" so I must be hiding something. "Too gentle" so I must be pretending to be someone I'm not. "Too cold" surely, I lack warmth. They see only what they want to see, a shell, a story they've decided isn't worth hearing. But they don't know the nights I spend in silence, waiting, hoping, longing for someone to notice the small things I do, the kindness I try to give, the love I hold back because I'm afraid it won't be returned. I've given, I've trusted, I've opened up and again, I was left behind. They don't know the pain of being overlooked, of being dismissed before I even speak. They don't know the sadness of never getting the chance to show who I am, what I could be, if just one person what I could be, if just one person looked beyond the quiet. I am not what they think I am. I'm not a monster. I'm not an unsolvable puzzle. I'm simply a person with a heart a heart that's been broken more than once, but still burns, wounded by those who never tried to understand, those who judged me before they ever heard my story. They judged me before they saw who I really am. And that hurts. It hurts more than they could ever know, more than I could ever put into words, because I've waited waited for someone to see me, to truly care. But they don't. They won't. They've already made up their minds. And I remain alone, with all the love I'll never get the chance to give. So I stay silent, because no matter how loud I scream, no one listens. No one cares. They judge me before they truly understand me. And that is tearing me apart.
