Potential triggers
(This is directed at the so called ‘professionals’)
You saw me crying. You saw me shaking uncontrollably. You saw me trying to hold myself together. You saw my black eyes. You knew I was struggling. Surely you could see how scared and vulnerable I was/am? I really needed you to ask me the right questions. I needed you to hear and listen to my pain. I needed you to allow me to be honest with you.
Yes I’m actively suicidal.
Yes I’ve self harmed, but not in my usual way.
Who the hell am I am supposed to talk to?
Who is going to believe me when I say I’m not safe?
Screw you all and thanks for nothing.
I didn’t lie.
