This is one of the hardest things I've ever done: asking for help.

After a financially devastating divorce, I am asking for help getting FFS, a gender-affirming surgery for which I am having to pay a vast majority out of pocket.

Any bit helps.

I am so grateful for time with creatures like myself (on a lot of levels). Reminds me that the all the goals and shit I'm chasing aren't all of life, and that moments of connection make me happier than having another check mark on my to-do list.

I told Ependa this screenshot looked like a bargain-bin book cover and the rest attended to itself

That's a good way to view it. I'll try to focus on that aspect, less on the reaction and more on it being a practice for myself.
azurebitch.bsky.social
Like I get it, I definitely fit RSD criteria among other things, but boy I just.. sometimes social media interaction feels like such a minefield
azurebitch.bsky.social
Yeah. I guess the real answer is "boy I wish everyone had access to good trauma work resources and therapists"
azurebitch.bsky.social
No, I appreciate you were commiserating! Just feeling a big helpless about it, didn't mean to come across as irritated at you.
azurebitch.bsky.social
Yeah and that's why I want to say *something* because I've been on the autistic receiving end of "I did something this person didn't like and they ghosted me and I never knew why" and it sucks but man sometimes the reactions I get make me feel like I'm not doing it right. But maybe it is what it is
azurebitch.bsky.social
Oh yeah. "You're right I should check my privilege for being able to have a piece of clothing feels good, I'll go away now" definitely happens internally sometimes
azurebitch.bsky.social
Haha I've considered the big announcement but always worry that will come across as super passive aggressive (which, to be fair, this thread could also be viewed as much I guess)
azurebitch.bsky.social
God that's so hard, I'm so sorry.

And yeah that's the part that hurts most, I think, is the feeling of "don't you have any idea how hard I've had to work to find scraps of joy in my life? Aren't I allowed to enjoy something without having to immediately give you therapy?"

Me too. Like I *do get it*. Sometimes other people's good news both makes me happy for them while simultaneously triggering a CPTSD cascade internally. But I care enough about the other person's joy to take that to my therapist or a good friend or a journal.
azurebitch.bsky.social
See that's my hope. I expect a lot of people on social media are as neurodivergent as I am, and so when I go "hey I don't like this, please don't" it's partly out of a hope that maybe no one has expressed to them that's hurtful before? But boy the reactions sometimes.
azurebitch.bsky.social
I'm.. not talking about myself doing this to others, I'm asking about what to do when others react to *me* this way. Where I show a picture of a cute outfit or a nice meal and immediately get someone who turns it into a complaint about themselves
azurebitch.bsky.social
Thank you. I try that and get blocked by them or such a lot but I guess that doesn't necessarily mean I'm doing it wrong. Always hard to tell if I'm fumbling something or it's just a lose lose
azurebitch.bsky.social
Yeah I'm afraid that may be the case, which then speaks to muting but man that always feels rude. It's so weird that "I will ignore you forever without telling you" is more polite than saying "hey please don't do that again, thank you"
azurebitch.bsky.social
For sure, and I think there were times in my life, like back in my teens especially, where I probably had similar reactions and hadn't learned where to direct them. I get where it comes from. But I also don't know how to go "hey, please don't" in a way that people can hear without spiraling.
azurebitch.bsky.social
I mean yes but I can't control the time others spend on social media, so I'm trying to figure out if there's anything on my side of the equation I can do to handle it in a way that is kind to myself while also not setting others off
