When I was actively traumatized for over a decade and was constantly in fight-flight-freeze-mode, all my teachers called me lazy.

When I had a 4 year long depression with anhedonia, my mom called that tiredness.

When I had a PAIS two times for 3 months with fatique syndrome, my mom called that tiredness.

Now I have a burnout my mom tells me "just make sure you don't fall back into that tiredness".

All my life I am an extrovert with social phobia and people keep telling me to get out of my comfort zone.
How do I get out of something that doesn't exist?

It can be difficult to know when the line is crossed, because it seems positive. #lovebombing #gifts #praise #toxicpositivity

Nobody was going to do it for me, I had to figure it out for myself.

I thought that maybe if I got it just right, I could be loveable. I had to have the right mindset, and it was going to be POSITIVE dammit. #toxicpositivity #manipulation #scripttheory #survivor #writer
