Ever felt like being gaslit?

[SoulofSteel]

Have you ever explained your reasons to CTB to someone only to be met with them doing their own interpretations and trying to gaslight you into believing them?

I'm always saying in my mind "No it's not unresolved traumas or some other unknown demons I'm fighting with. I know exactly the root of my pain thank you very much."

Probably. Or definitely. But the problem is that I totally hate myself, my brain considers everyone better than me and it's incredibly easy for anyone to make me believe they are right.

The worst is when someone tells me it'll get better if I just change my outlook on life. Put in the hard work on my mental health and suddenly everything will be worth living!

The few times I tried to better my mental health and got medicated I felt less sad and less anxious but the world was still shit. People were still shit. Everything is fucking shit and I can't just pretend the world and life are some magical gift. It's suffering and with meds it's dulled suffering.
