Thank you! Hope I’m not overreacting again

Elfilis

Hi guys,

I just want to thank everyone who has been very supportive of me lately. I want to apologise for any inconveniences I may have caused and for overreacting with certain posts lately. I am very grateful that you have all defended me and put me at ease, both the community members and the moderators! I just want to say that I have been diagnosed with EUPD recently as well as CPTSD  and it’s all a bit overwhelming so I may have overreacted as I thought I had caused some division and anger in the community but again thank you for reassuring me that this isn’t the case. I do also have a tendency to misinterpret things and takes me some time to process things.

Hope we can chat again soon x

    I know how it feels to be judged and I hate it! It's happened to me a lot throughout the years. I enjoyed our chat as well! Will be happy to talk again anytime! Slight smile

    Thank you for this! I really need to practice this more often. It’s very hard especially with these voices and triggers etc but suppose that’s where I just need to recover and fight back!

    Hiya Evi Relaxed
    Thank you for your lovely message. So glad you are very understanding, say I’ve been getting judged a lot in my life and I guess how I reacted was just a response. I am starting to feel better now so thank you! Also enjoyed our chat yesterday too! Also thank you for adding me Relaxed️

    Hiya. Thank you for your lovely message, I feel better now and I am grateful for yourself and everyone here and thank you for understanding how I feel. A lot of NTs would just saying I’m such a drama queen and all that lark and then bully me again, so I’m glad I’ve had support here!

    Thank you for getting back to me and glad you enjoy me being here. Yeah we are all different and have different triggers and I think it’s good to have the trigger warnings now. I can understand the frustration with moderation though as I have this issues on a well fake website of a game I used to play growing up. The filters are much more insane there trust me! I do feel coming here has helped me see things from different perspectives and I can understand where you came from with that porn convo we had but it just takes time for me to process things but I’m glad we didn’t fight over it. Say I suppose I see it negative because of my trauma and well I’ve never been in relationships so yeah 

  • Hi! Blush 

    The whole point of being a member of a community is to be able to express your thoughts and feelings without being judged, as long as you're not insulting or hurting anyone. You shouldn't feel bad about it at all, x!

  • I don't feel you have anything to appologise for, what you describe is fairly normal for ND's, but I do get how disabling it feels when you're jibbering and tweeting about what you may have said that could possibly cause offence and how it spirals horribly.

    Take a deep breath and centre yourself and come back when you're ready and you will find a warm welcome.

  • These sound like fairly common autistic traits and most of us have them often.

    It helps to ask for clarification if you are unsure of things I find - I've gotten into an arguement or two on here when it seems in retrospect that we were talking about different facets of the same thing and taking the time to ask - "I'm talking about this aspect - are we disagreeing about different things?" would have saved much hot air.

    The vast majority of the time this site is positive and supportive and you will soon spot the odd quirky posters and learn to ignore them and with the way the mods have stepped up with the trigger warning stuff, it should be easy to avoid stuff you don't want to read about.

    It's good to have you as part of the community.
