Edit: Im asking because I'm currently going through some serious depression and I've been forgetting stuff lately. I wake up every morning with a panic attack, I am too tired to do anything. I barely had any appetite to eat. I just wanted to see if I'm the only one. Hearing stories from others makes me feel less alone.

Sorry if I sound pathetic af, I'm just sad

Edit 2: I'm gonna mark this as NSFW because the potential very traumatic stuff.

Understanding each others trauma is not enough for a friendship, I agree with that. You need more than that. Personalities that fit well together, same level of intelligence, same sense of humour.

I totally agree! Sometimes I feel like I'm asking for too much out of other people because I need someone who understands a lot more than the average person.

I agree with you about the people who say things like "trauma dumping". It really comes across like they just don't want to deal with it which always left me confused in the past until recently - I know I'm just sharing things with my past but it made people uncomfortable so they put a label on it as a way to get me to stop talking about myself. Because you're right. They didn't want to get that close to me.

Thought tracking is kind of fun. Basically, anytime I had an intrusive thought, I'd write it down and then try to figure out what actually led me to the thought in the first place or if it was truly an intrusive thought that came out of nowhere.

Turns out most thoughts were being triggered by something and now I just backtrack my thoughts naturally if something weird pops up in my brain.

I have to learn lemmy more but I'll find some way to message you!
