The Thrilling Threquel: "have You Tried Yoga? Walking? Or What About Livelaugloving?"

Syscourse Damage

Got a big anonymous message from someone, and I think it has a lot of value! I'd like to make a post by it.

Shout out for those who have been hurt by syscourse, on any side. Those who feel they can't exist in this space without becoming an expert on who they are and every source they could ever provide. Those who have practice reading entire essays in Syscourse just to stay relevant. Those who have been traumatized and retraumatized again by syscourse.

It isn't fair, what systems have to go through in this space. Here are some tips for those struggling with finding a place or peace in this place.

Step away from syscourse. You deserve better than the arguments. Block those who bring it to you, and refuse to engage. You never need to.

If you choose to engage, know that it's not your duty to correct everything. You are just a person! You don't need to be an expert, or a psychologist, or a therapist, or anyone. It isn't your job!!

Recovery is elsewhere. You don't need to recover in syscourse spaces. Leave those spaces and take care of yourself.

Everyone has the potential to be an asshole. Moving past that is the key; acknowledge that there are spaces you may never want to be in again, but there can also be a space for you there as well. Recovery can come.

I don't have much more for today, but know that this space is safe, at least. I also recommend @syscourse-confessions as a good space to offer venting or ideas about syscourse anonymously. :)

Hey, I don't know if you remember me (I'm the one with suicidality), but I just wanted to let you know that it's not worth it. I've lived through it with you, and I just want to tell you one thing: living is worth it.

Please.

HAPPY ACE AWARENESS WEEK FROM AUSTRALIA!!!

To the person reading this, I hope tonight treats you gently, and that tomorrow looks brighter

Me being born autistic: Well this could have been a lot harder
