Honestly being aware that ur rotting in bed is so depressing, it just makes you think about how u could be productive when ur not. Also I like the tree analogy but I’ve seen so many people use it in the stupidest ways that I inadvertently get pissed off seeing it.
People will use it and equate it to SA or smth where “oh, if no one else saw or witnessed it why should we believe what the tree says?” It’s so stupid how people try to use it and even now when I’m thinking about it I’m getting mad 😠
Right?! I rot in bed a lot too because I’m chronically ill, so fatigue and pain hit me fast. Even though I know that, I still get SO mad at myself for “not doing anything.” Like… maybe we should give ourselves more credit. Yeah, I stayed in bed, but I wrote something. I tried. That matters! 🎉
Also, I didn’t realize people were using the tree analogy like that — and now it’s going to piss me off too. 🙄
Twisting it to cast doubt on someone’s experience with SA is beyond disgusting. It’s a bad analogy and it’s actively harmful. Just because no one else “saw” it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Framing it like that feels like playing devil’s advocate for the abuser, which is not at all neutral. It’s 100% cruel! Booooo to those weird tree people! 🙅🏻♀️👎
