Omg. Is that what’s happening to me?! Haha I 100% can’t mask when people are making me feel uncomfortable, or just any inkling of being manipulated or abuse. It’s creating conflict with me and my husband because I was normally “easy going” and passive, but now I can’t hold anything in
Yes, my tolerance for putting up with bullshit is getting lower and lower. Usually this would mean running away/avoidance/cutting people out of my life. This past couple of weeks, I actually managed to set some boundaries, telling people off. Eg I am working with a temporary therapist and she really doesn’t get me or trauma and instead of just not going anymore, I confronted her. So I guess that’s progress. Still want my functioning back, dammit!
Oh, and I am starting to feel that a confrontation with my parents is unavoidable. No contact isn’t an option at the moment, so I’m trying to grey rock. But I don’t know how much of their bullshit I can take.
