Tired of Being Treated Like I'm Broken

I'm so sorry, and some people are such jerks when it comes to understanding depression & PTSD from intense trauma.

First off I am absolutely appalled that anyone would say something like that to you, I can’t imagine how insensitive and cruel a person would have to be to say something like that. You do not deserve that kind of abuse at all and what you’re going through has to be one of the toughest things imaginable. I know it feels like you’re broken but you aren’t and anyone who dosent understand you’re limitations is a jerk and not someone you should waste your time or energy on. Not wanting to do certain things is completely understandable and dosent make you broken and anyone who sees you that way is immensely stupid. I’ve had my heart shattered in similar ways and all I can offer as advice is what I did. I decided that I was going to set clear boundaries from the start of meeting someone friend or prospective partner and if they couldn’t handle it they weren’t the right fit not feelings hurt. And if they j deed good and respected the fact that I had clear boundaries I would ask if they were comfortable being friends first so that I could gauge whether or not I could trust them and then if we were both interested we could move into being in a relationship. Unfortunately this is a lot to ask from a person at our age (we are about the same age) and most people aren’t willing to put in the extra work. But when you find someone who is, it’s amazing and it’s worth the wait. Communication is key when you are a sensitive person or in a vulnerable place so try to find someone who will work through the tough parts and not push you into something you don’t want. If you need a break from the stress of what you’ve been through with this last sorry excuse of a human then listen to you mind and heart, but I don’t suggest writing off love forever, because you, like everyone else, deserve to be loved and cherished and ultimately, to be happy. Good luck and I hope this has helped at least a little💕

I know you feel alone, but I promise, you aren't. You may not be able to see or hear that other person, but they are somewhere feeling the exact same way you are. That person who messaged you clearly never loved you if they are leaving when things get tough. You deserve better. It may not seem like it right now, but you will get through this. Stay strong love💕
