I thought of that too which is why I was a little nervous to ask about it. I said kind of a low rate because I still want to leave this world but I'm being a snowflake about it. I feel like people wouldn't understand it's for the better.
You don't need to be nervous to ask things here that is what's great about this place.
I've found it covers every aspect pretty much.
I'm just not sure it's in the right section.
Maybe recovery / off-topic / venting.
Not sure if a mod can move it or not.
I understand you have feelings of wanting to leave. But you're saying you want a method that is lower on the scale. Almost a contradiction
(kind of becomes SH at that point imo)
It's a little bit of a kink, I also hate when people act kind of casual or nice to me because it gets annoying really quick like teachers for example that won't stop talking and trying to make the whole class feel good or a near by student complimenting certain parts about your work. Annoying.
Everyone's different. And gets bothered by different things. I can't really say much because I don't know what causes this.
And don't want to misinform you.
Well I have tried to talk to important figures in my life many times and it just feels awkward, doesn't get through, or gets half ignored most of the time
This is why a seperate 3rd party comes in handy.
An example I told my mother I would like to work towards a gender change and she just kind of turned it down but said at a later time which I doubt cause she always "forgets" unless I remind her and it gets too annoying.
I'm not sure on this.There could be a bunch of factors envolving a conversation like this. Having it or avoiding it.
( I know there are threads that have similar experiences/advice) Personally I don't.
She always says to be honest with her but nothing comes out of it.
What is supposed to come out of it?
A gain of some sort? Understanding?
I don't try to talk to my dad because he is just a really different person than me.
Yah makes sense.
I've tried to talk to siblings too who have had similar experiences but those were the awkward talks and paper just feels nerve racking and embarrassing.
These types of talks are usually awkward and nerve racking. Etc.
But once it's out there it's like a weight off. (personally) ( many years ago)
paper was just an idea.
SH isn't the way it has to go I was just looking for anything that's like a 60/40 with success or maybe higher or lower yk?
This is the point that
@FuneralCry was trying to press on i think. Same with me.
"Maybe higher/maybe lower" "60/40" you're not exactly confident in your choice and a little confused. Which is fine that's why a place like this exists. I've found lots of clarity here.
Ctb or not.
Each topic has a specific forum and thread for it.
For me it's different. I know that I'm done and I'm choosing that.
I have a somewhat concrete plan and method.
with what's available to me. And even then it's still not 100%.
I'm still just tweaking ideas/methods.
I've failed a couple a times because it was spontaneous and erratic. Ended up not in the greatest shape. And hurt myself.
But now that I'm at ease and have done some reading and educated my self about ctb. It makes a big difference in the thought process.
I always get choked up on the therapist conversation because I have a lot of mood swings from fine to fucking fuming and the next second I just wish I were dead constantly then it just goes away. I wouldn't want a session where I don't feel extremely troubled cause that makes it harder to talk about how I feel during the other times.
I have a mood disorder. Plus more.
So I definitely get it.
But you're already defeating the session before you go.
When I was going didn't matter. I also was required to go to a certain amount. So that pushed me.
Feeling fine?Go. Raging?Go. Don't worry about the other times. And if you do. Keep a journal. And only show it to them.
I guess I have some expectations but I'm mostly talking about the empty half assed responses I usually get. It's just kind of hard to listen to all the time I try to listen to someone's response.
This will change depending on who you're talking to. Different people different experiences/views/ideas. This is why it helps to get an unbiased view.
Well I can't remember it exactly too well sometimes it's a chain of events. I watched an analyzing video on "ruler of everything" by tally hall and it really had me thinking and sometimes when I think too hard some things go off and the next thing I know I'm in my bathroom with my shitty knife against my closet door kind of behind an open drawer looking out the bathroom door in extreme fear and like great self awareness I guess not really having a grasp on what I was feeling. It's so hard to explain.
yah that's a lot going on all back to back. Mood fluctuations and triggers. I don't want to give you false information. I somewhat get it.
A professional would be able to explain this.
I felt really scatter brained righting this so sorry if I messed anything up or didn't get anything across right and I guess this is the late response to your late response haha.
Nah man it makes sense and you got it across fine no need for sorry.
Just think it needs to be directed to a more suitable area.
Scatter brain lul that's a good terminology. Surprised I didn't use that before for myself.
