Today was a little rough.
I had to establish a boundary with someone but botched it up. This individual believes addiction is not a disease, and that mental health is not an illness. This individual sent a message asking if I enjoyed talking about being sick all the time.
Rather than thinking things through calmly and responding appropriately, I reacted, replied harshly, and blocked them (then worried if I hurt the person, if they were okay).
This person did not deserve this reaction. My reaction was the result of stuffing my feelings over the years, not establishing boundaries, and wanting to please them by agreeing.
I am grateful for the experience as I am becoming more aware of my defects, and will learn from this experience.
Good night my friends.
You never know what someone else is going through.
Be kind to one another and to yourself.
