After my complete nervous breakdown (mental health crisis) in 2018, I self isolated for a year and quietly tried to piece myself back together. Then started what has been 6 years of therapy. With certain issues, I held fast to my boundaries and blocked the person. The first time someone asked me for nudes, I had a panic attack and cried for an hour. The majority of people I really vibed with lived too far away. Keeping up with all of those conversations is maddening. I have, for the most part, been very careful about my word choices, the length of my responses, and trying really hard to relate like a neurotypical. But in the week or two leading up to this coming weekend, I have grown increasingly dysregulated. My life will be completely uprooted and in disarray for several days to a week. My ADHD/CPTSD responses were sometimes in full effect. Thinking clearly and being clear on emotions has been a struggle. I still need to figure out what all of my triggers are.

While I still stand by what I have always said that no one owes anyone else the most precious gifts of their time and attention, ghosting culture is terrible. Matching with only a few people at a time seems to be a good way to avoid unintentionally ghosting someone. It hurts and then desensitizes you to other people's feelings and eventually, your own. One person ghosted me for a week and came back with a perfectly valid reason for silence, which I responded to with a story from my own life like an idiot. My responses were only more awkward after that and reading back through it I was like 'WTF is wrong with you!? You're a trained mental health first responder!? Seriously?' So I have that to add to my list of things I'm going to internally beat myself up about, which I should. There were other awkward conversations, but that was the icing on the cake of those. I have to wonder if I wasn't self sabotaging because it was only with people I really liked. Topic for my next therapy session, yay.
