I'm sad and powerless and I have to vent
My partner was on her way to Midwest Fur Fest. 6 months saving and working on a fur suit she was hoping to net her business and get her out of a financial hole. She has Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria
Pulled over in Illinois, car searched. 2 capsules of MDMA and a small bag of shrooms for personal use. Her best friend with Asperger's jailed. Possible: felony, lose his job, lose his house, lose her best friend when he moves back home to another city.
Plans exploded, self-loathing, rage, self-blame, feelings of being cursed, being a cancer, all the worst feelings about everything. Words can't even describe what's rolling out of her now. She's at home suffering and there's nothing I can do or say to help
@Capnmarrrrk sounds like she sees herself as a victim rather than active participant in this situation...if you have too much empathy you won't see the obvious.
@Blackwolf
I see it and that's the painful part as well. Is being very proactive. But life is just throwing barriers in front of her. And she takes it personally and it's going back to step zero
