I really did do this for a while and one day I just said enough!! @ myself and actually made myself map through the things that happened and were said that at the time I dismissed but actually had a negative effect on me, and realised how bad the situation really was https://twitter.com/melanatedmomma/status/1264716230931263490">https://twitter.com/melanated...

It sounds dramatic but it& #39;s the only way I could move past certain friendships and toxic situations. It was such a loooong process and I realised there were more people involved in making that four month period the hell that it was INCLUDING MYSELF!!!

Anyway it helped me realise the severity of the situation in terms of how it affected my mental health, and now i understand certain things about myself, like how I was saying the other day sometimes just the word gaslighting triggers an extremely negative response from me

If anyone has even read up to this point in this thread please take yourself and your mental and emotional health seriously in whatever way you can. Sometimes it takes A LOT and people might not understand but you& #39;re worth the time and effort from yourself.
