I find it frustrating when people try and problem solve my situation.
I am a smart, intelligent and resourceful young woman who tries to reach out to people in her church and community so when people suggest that I try that, it causes me to feel angry that they seem to think I'm not trying.
In fact it's the opposite that sometimes I don't have the energy or capacity to be stonewalled again.
Because that's what they do. They have their lives and I have mine and they don't have time for me and if they do they give up on me anyway, that I'm too much drama. But I keep trying to the point of what could be considered insanity.
I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I honestly find it unhelpful as it seems to make the assumption that I haven't already tried.

@tyme words are very easily misunderstood online and can depend on how it's read. I know I tend to read things defensively, especially in regards to my church because their shortfalls are very obvious when it comes to me and I get easily hurt by their actions because they lack lived experience and understanding. So the concept of reaching out to them, it's not for a lack of trying, it's for a lack of willingness and understanding on their part and right now I can't handle that.
I will never be a priority to them but I will likely also never leave, because I firmly believe that our God is and will continue to use me to reach them because I seem to be a trailblazer in that regard.

I'm going to be sick
I must be nuts
How can I do this?
How the heck can I do this?
They want more detail
But maybe it'll be easier
Who am I kidding
Trauma is never easy
Police is never easy
I can't do this
I can't do this
But I'll hate myself if I don't
I'll hate myself more than I do
So much for healthy adult
Healthy adult doesn't break through my panic
It never has
Settle right?
Settle?
Like telling a kettle to boil
Not seizure territory
Let's at least try and avoid that
Need logic
Logic

Math puzzles
Ok, get puzzle book
