So there was an ask that was sent to me regarding an assault that I couldn’t post because I feel it wasn’t appropriate and that it could trigger people that follow me.
I will say I’m sorry that you went through that. I think you really need to go seek professional help to process your trauma. But as I’ve spoken about in previous asks sent like this, I cannot really help here. This tumblr is just a place for fanfiction and love, not therapy or clinical advice. I know I’ve spoken about my career on here, so I don’t know if this is why people come to me with these things. I also know I give off a motherly vibe, and I’ve made my tumblr a safe place for people to ask questions and advice on stories. I don’t really know what it is that attracts people to say these things to me.
But I need to admit that it kind of makes me feel…uncomfortable. I work my job because I love helping people, I love supporting others and helping children grow into themselves. And I spend 40 hours a week doing that. So when I come home, I want to relax and simply put those situations out of my head. So when I get asks of people giving me detailed situations of sexual assault, domestic abuse, thoughts of suicide, or self-injurious behaviors, it’s really draining. I’ve been through a lot of these things on my own, and while at my job I encounter them, I have a different mindset outside of my home. My clinical hat is on and I can separate myself from that world. That’s my job. But here, where I’ve shed my counseling skin, it seeps into my old wounds like poison.
What makes it worse is that everyone does this on anonymous, forcing me to respond on my tumblr and not even giving me the ability to give a personal reply. If I don’t respond, I feel terrible for ignoring someone in need, but if I do respond I could trigger someone else. The whole thing tears me up. And this just can’t keep going on.
I’m sorry if this is a selfish statement, but I cannot do this here.
I’m a therapist, but Crimson is not a therapist. Crimson is just a writer who loves making people smile with her stories.
Please, respect that.
