If you saw the unfinished version of this post, no you didnt. (I wasnt looking at where my mouse was and hit enter, whoops)
I had to delete my last post, but I still stand by most of it.
When I said I wasn't a crisis worker, it was to set a boundary. Although I can provide comfort to people, I need it to be known that I am not able to handle situations like these. I don't want that to make it seem like these problems are too big, because no matter where you are at, your voice deserves to be heard. However I stated many, many times that I am not a professional.
I am sorry if this post seems disrespectful. I am sorry if offering my dms in the first place was a bad idea, since it could've opened a pandoras box of parasocial connection. I simply wanted to provide a sense of community because shits scary right now and it was the first thing I could think of.
You are loved, you are important, if you are angry then let that turn into art. Don't let fear back you into a corner. Take care of yourself because it pisses stupid people off (and I don't know about you, but thats a great feeling imo)
If you get the energy, look into how to help your community. I'm talking about where you live. Volunteer, get out there, maybe just start with baking cookies for your neighbors. VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS. If you live in an area without a whole lot of people, and you feel alone, just know that you have community online. No matter where you are in the world you will be cared about.
