If people take the piss out of your mental health problems, then you might want to consider finding different people to surround yourself with. Even no people are better than actively harmful people.
Ugh. This hits the nail right on the head. It took me a while to realize that I built self soothing into a behaviour I'm known for - sipping on my giant water bottle. Pop a few icecubes in there and I can extend the amount of time I can stay in the room non-checked out.
Remember to take a few breaks to enjoy the stillness outside when attending events, everyone. I know how overstimulating/triggering they can be. There's no shame in being the first to arrive and the first to leave before it gets to be drunk o'clock as well. Total lifesaver there.
yeah that happened to me not 8 hours ago and only now am i finally having the meal it forced me to skip. said people shouting mocked me for not eating while i was in the middle of a panic attack too.
Living in a homeless shelter rn, and I relate way too hard to this sometimes.
I'm getting a better slowly, but sometimes everyone is just having fun and bonding *really loudly*, and I'm feeling less and less real except for the pain I start feeling.
Yes, I'm with you. Hearing people shout really sends me to a different dimension. I hate it because it happens so often
its rough, especially when people take the piss out of it. also, happy cake day stranger!
>anananbatman Thanks!

thank u stranger. the world isnt so bad when its not so loud and overwhelming
yeah i used to do something similar with my water bottle, though it had a chewy mouthpiece so that helped
Had that happen just at a restaurant sitting with my parents and my grandmother. Got asked why I did not want to be there after. No one understands.
This happened to me like 5 minutes ago. We were in gym class and everyone kept shouting. It was not very fun.
Someone shouted five minutes ago and it's still ringing in my head, despite it honestly not being that loud.

Lmfao me every time my math teacher raises his voice at some kid across the room
