Sent this to a friend today
I blocked messages from my five-member group of high school friends four months ago. So far it's turned out to be one of the most powerful steps I've taken toward finding self-love after depression and PTSD damage.
In my defense, this is a particularly cloddish group of men. If you say "I'm in immense pain" they'll say "did you see the clever NYT editorial justifying the death of 10,000 more Palestinians today?" Boring.
Anyway, here's what I wrote to my last remaining contact in this harmful group.
You and I are way too decent people to be ignored. Plus we've both had so many more rich experiences and connections…i don't do vacations. I live places and start businesses and feel the pain of others. I read books, not articles. I'm not more afraid of Elizabeth Warren than I am of Trump.
I personally know what depression is. John's in the self-help 101 school. Despite his difficult parents! 100% cerebral, and not an empathetic bone in his body. He infects Peter and Joe, just as he did in HS. That's why I spent third period at your house. I was safe there.
Really helped my healing to shut off that hugely damaging flow—to me it felt the same as Glenn's insanity—so I could recover a bit of space to treasure myself, no matter what. I'm fighting every day to protect myself anew. That's why your situation with Nathan hurts me so much—I know it would take me down after my marriage and Glenn.
