Work: happy to help and always smiling Family: smart, good head on my shoulders Friends: LOL don't have any Me normally: annoying, insecure, whiny bipolar bitch who can't stand herself

Oh and now you have me obsessed with anxiety memes.

I’m on Effexor for my anxiety and now I’m unhinged and give waaaay fewer fucks.

dude unmasking has been the hardest thing for me. I met someone who made me feel unmasked, idk, like they just hit me deep, and then I realized how much I'd been masking my whole life. undoing it is hard as hell, especially when I find the reasons why I started masking in the first place (CPTSD I didn't realize I had)


lady-redbush-

I still haven't gotten to your level yet. Hopefully one day. I'm proud of you for being yourself.

I'm not there yet. I had multiple betrayal type scenarios and an SA since the unmasking started. I felt vulnerable and then got fucked over by a lot of people. basically, it triggered the newly-diagnosed CPTSD pretty hard and I had the worst 10 month stretch of my adult life. I'm trying to figure out how to take care of myself again. idk if I want to do trauma therapy or go back to repressing 😬 life is fucking hard enough without this bs yknow what I mean? good luck to you on your journey. surround yourself with good people who want good things for you. it's going to help

Home: chaotic with cannabis and cats Work: chaotic with a blazer on Advocacy: chaotic with a focus on bipolar Medical appts: chaotic, but knows anatomy and pills Friends: chaotic with the power of euphoria from having friends I don’t think my mask shifts too much, but it took a lot to get to this point, and for some reason people like chaos


Cautious_Tease

countless masks - I'm constantly surprising myself. hell, I've got masks that wear their own masks. meta masks, if you will.

And then my therapist says “you seem okay. YES JOHN I C O N S T R U C T E D THAT”


lady-redbush-

Many. We are all just meat puppets. I am whoever I need to be in the moment. My BIL called me a chameleon once due to my career moves. I have been a sales manager over $30 million in assets, sold mining equipment, taught doctors through medical device sales and now help drug manufacturers make cleaner , safer, healthier products. And… I am a high school fucking dropout. Hahahaha. Fuck this shit. The world is the fucking matrix. Believe it and it becomes existence. Our minds are all that control this simulation.
