#so i'm not ready to package that up for external consumption yet i guess

struggling right now to determine whether my new reluctance to talk to people irl about health/personal stuff is a healthy reassertion of boundaries i'd lost through years of oversharing or whether it's me withdrawing from people because one person inadvertently made me feel bad for sharing stuff and it set off the brainweasels

could be both tbh on some level. trouble is once you've set precedent of Talking About Stuff, it's hard to re-draw those lines and be like "actually i'm not going to talk about my mental health with you" without making the other person feel either really worried about you or like you no longer trust them and it's like. it's not that it's just suddenly unbearable to think about discussing this out loud
