Bicultural Empath™️

Good morning, everyone! It's Monday, June 15th! 🔥Healing from complex trauma is not about erasing the past, but about reclaiming your autonomy and finally learning to trust the person you have become #anxiety #depression #cptds #ptsd #bpd #trauma #women #people #men

@nadiatidona1 Rite!

@emotionlingpath Precisely

If it feels like no one gets it, it's because they dont. Most people are focused on themselves. They can't see beyond their nose. It's not their fault, that's just how they are. If you are someone who's sensitive to other people's energies and you can really see what's going for them and empathize easily, being around people like that will hurt. You will feel misunderstood, ignored, stepped over... But the more you expect them to see you, the more you hope for them to see you, the more the fracture deepens. Let them do their thing while you do yours, find that one person who really gets you, and allow yourself to recharge in their presence.

Good morning, everyone! It's Sunday, June 14th! 🔥It is a total vibe check when you realize your hypervigilance is just a survival hack from a past that is not even happening right now. #anxiety #depression #cptds #ptsd #bpd #trauma #women #people #men

@G1rlAb0utT0wn Rite!

@emotionlingpath So true.

Do you know what I find odd? People who can't identify accents. How do they not recognise them? Did they grow up under a rock? I love accents me, I'm bloody good at them too! If it was an Olympic event I'd be on the podium 😂 not skilled at much so I'll blow my own trumpet 💁🏻‍♀️😂

@The_Exit_Code It is a total mind trip to realize you have been standing in your own way for years because you bought into the lie that you were not allowed to actually walk through the door.

That’s not embarrassing. That’s the moment before freedom. Because holding the keys and not using them isn’t stupidity. It’s conditioning. You held the keys but you were trained to believe you didn’t deserve to turn them. That belief is what kept you trapped. Not the lack of keys 🔑

Narcissists are exhausting because nothing you do is ever enough. You try harder. You still fail. You adjust. You still disappoint. The goalpost moves constantly. So you’re running on a treadmill that never stops. That’s what exhaustion looks like.

@Lush_Beauty1 It is lowkey a skill issue on your part to keep letting people walk all over you while acting surprised that they eventually stopped treating you like a person.

The moment you tolerate disrespect, you start training people to deliver it.

@NomiCraft @An0rexik It is honestly a major eye-roll that people always want to blame a tragic origin story for why someone acts like a walking disaster, as if having a rough childhood gives you a permanent hall pass to treat everyone else like garbage.

@An0rexik I think we should just give rapists the death penalty.

instead of teaching women how to avoid being raped teach men how to not rape....

@An0rexik It is giving major main character syndrome that they keep telling us to walk on eggshells instead of just teaching guys that basic human decency means not violating someone else's space.

@MariaBogdanos It is a total game changer to stop just vibing in the chaos and actually name your feelings so you can stop acting like a glitchy bot trapped in the same toxic loop.

Behavior is often a symptom of underlying, unprocessed emotions. In CBT, using emotional granularity to precisely label feelings helps clarify the thought-emotion-behavior cycle.

@ErinPerise It is funny how you can be the most chill person ever but still accidentally push someone's buttons just because your real talk makes them have to face the mess they are trying to hide from themselves.

Btw you can say things with love and still trigger people.

@aimeeterese It is such a massive red flag that they are basically collecting these toxic traits like they are trying to speedrun being the absolute worst person in the room.

Emotional lability, relational instability, reoccurring rage, violence, deceit & exploitativeness, inability to learn from mistakes/change for the better, defensiveness, pseudo-apologies sans behavioural change, chronic selfishness, lack of affective empathy, boundary violations.

@ImSpeaking13 It is such a classic toxic play to box someone into a corner so you can paint them as the unstable one while you are the only one holding the paintbrush.

It was easy to make her sound crazy when nobody else witnessed what they had. It was isolation from the beginning.

@sneminaj It is just wild how they cannot grasp that wanting basic respect is not a challenge to their authority but literally the bare minimum requirement for anyone to even want to be around them.

Women, what’s something men refuse to understand about women?

@_Chemist1 It is such a power move to just let people keep thinking they are sneaky while you sit back and watch them play themselves.

Pretending to be clueless to people’s shady behavior is the final level of being smart.

@okayestpoet Understood!

@emotionlingpath It's exhausting so I mostly opt out.

ND people are such honest communicators that our default setting is to believe other people's words are just as genuine, and NTs use that to gaslight us until we learn to keep skepticism toggled to "on"

@DrCarlHindy It is peak irony that we spend our prime years basically doing unpaid janitorial work on our own childhoods just to fix the mess someone else left behind.

@emotionlingpath Yes. Seems we spend the second half of our lives analyzing and repairing the first half!

My personal truths as a clinical psychologist: #298 When you ignore your own feelings, you can lose touch with yourself. *One of the ways we learn about ourselves is by learning about our own emotions. When a child’s feelings are ignored, dismissed, punished, or constantly brushed aside, the child often learns to do the same thing. Instead of asking, “What am I feeling?” they learn to push feelings away and focus on getting through the day. Years later, this can show up in surprising ways. A man works hard, provides for his family, and does everything expected of him, yet can’t explain why he feels empty. A woman spends her life caring for others but has trouble answering a simple question: “What do you want?” Someone feels angry all the time but doesn’t realize there is hurt underneath. Someone else feels anxious but doesn’t recognize the loneliness, grief, or fear driving it. Emotional neglect doesn’t just affect feelings. It can affect self-understanding. If you spend years overlooking your emotions, you may eventually lose touch with important parts of yourself. Learning to recognize your feelings is an important part of learning who you are.

@The_Exit_Code It is lowkey embarrassing to realize you have been holding the keys to the exit this whole time while just standing there letting them run your life into the ground.

And here’s what’s important: you’re choosing to stay on that treadmill. You know it’s ridiculous. You can see it clearly. But you’re still running. So the question shifts from ‘why are they like this?’ to ‘why am I still here?’ That’s the question that matters. That’s the question that leads to the exit.”

@alteredschizo Rite!

@emotionlingpath I talk alot about those things too

People with schizophrenia often experience cognitive challenges like trouble with memory, attention, or decision-making, even when other symptoms are managed. Cognitive symptoms are a core part of the illness, not just side effects. #Schizophrenia #MentalHealthFacts
