A way my therapist has told me to approach childhood trauma is thinking about the child who went through the traumatising ordeal. You may resent yourself for not fighting back, not doing enough, or not running away, but you need to see the young child who was there, the one who needed protection, not persecution
i don't think anyone really understands the levels of being passively suicidal like it doesn't matter where i am or what i'm doing i'd still rather be dead and it's so exhausting
A couple of thoughts I had after I listened to this interview by Russos:
- If youāre killing off a character, and audience doesnāt believe it, youāre doing something wrong.
- If youāre killing off a character, and have to break the 4th wall by using another character as your voice to tell the audience this is true, youāre doing something wrong.
- If you have to do the previous twice, youāre doing something wrong.
- If you have to kill of 7/8 of a race to make your character more interesting and human, youāre doing something wrong.
- If you think you have to kill the character to complete their arc, youāre wrong.
Quote from BoJack Horseman: Season 2, Episode 2
i mean itās not like i spend every hour consciously sayingĀ āi hate myself.ā itās just that when things go wrong my first response isĀ āof courseāĀ āi deserve thisāĀ āthis is because i suck.ā if someone asked meĀ ādo you like who you areā iād be stuck. i donāt feel like iām 13 and emo anymore, but i kept the sidebangs. i feel weird saying things likeĀ āiām a burden and waste of spaceā but i feel like that. just maybe not in those words. itās just like i swell too big for the area. like i splash over the sides, a party foul, the spilled drink. i mean how extra would it be to say something likeĀ āi donāt like myself enough to keep livingā. doesnāt that just cause other people pain. doesnāt that just make people worry. but on the other hand iām stuck because i feel numb, vague, blurry. like i should evaporate. like i do nothing but cause people distress when i should be helping. like okay. i donāt hate hate myself. but if the car was coming i wouldnāt get out of the way in a hurry.
Iām thinking of reasons why I liked you. Itās because I didnāt think bad about myself when I was talking to you, I didnāt have the urge to cut when I felt your touch on my skin, when I saw your smile and heard your laugh I felt like everything was going to be okay. You were the perfect distraction and now I have nothingā¦
