I’m so exhausted I can’t even seem to move or form words. I somehow still had a pretty sparkly mood where I was able to feel excited about the next hour or even next 10 minutes in anticipation and adrenaline.
Then after the call and I genuinely think… it’s emotional abuse? I can’t tell if I’m too lax and those are very minimal requirements/ standards or it was actually some kind of malignant emotional transference. It’s just that after that call — I felt very dysregulated in such an intense and dissonant way that the initial onset shock lasted almost 2 hours in dissociation.
Anyways, I’m able to travel with a homebase and my life is really cool. I still feel the after effects of the abuse writhed in guilt but hopefully I meet a lot of healthy and happy friends here who aren’t faking confidence and distributing that superficiality to their support network. Hopefully I minimize that exposure too. I’ve been contemplating what kind of persona I should consistently deliver, and I think charming, graceful and reserved is the best profile so far. Something more harmonious and mentally present outside of my other lives and negative memories.
