today i am in a mild version of hell. it feels like iām surrounded by plexiglass. iām unreachable. there is no air, im sobbing. there could be people and activities around me, they couldnāt reach me. im behind glass. im unreachable. i donāt think i trust them https://t.co/7hjrg3aTIL
i didnāt want to cry, like i had been the last few days. i didnāt know anyone or anything. i noticed the open window, it annoyed me. i wanted to yell, but i couldnāt, because the window felt open. i closed it and got under the covers and yelled. i yelled
last night, i cried, and it didnāt feel like being in the present at all. it felt like being in two weeks ago, when i was at my parentsā house in india. i held on to his crying so i didnāt have to cry there

mildly peeved at emotional instructions to self-soothe that omit āstep 0: determine if youāre actually safe. 0.1 if you canāt, learn how to do that 0.2 if you can & realize that you arenāt, get safe 0.3 if both are presently impossible, say youāre listeningā

@AskYatharth Living with my parents, and I still haven't figured out what to do when I want to scream / cry. Best thing I've figured out is to do a sort of "silent" scream or cry, but it's obviously not the same as just letting everything out.
