I know it sounds awful, but I can't write anymore about what I've been through. It hurts too much in a way.

It feels like the better thing to do is to talk.
I know what you mean at least I think so. I have a sense for myself of needing to speak about my traumas outloud to someone who has also experienced trauma and understands. The actual details don't need to be the same, but the understanding. Physically saying things carries much more nuance, intensity, and an energy which can deflate some of the strength of the trauma. At least, I believe so.

Yes.

But I think ways of communicating are also about establishing "concepts" inside of us and outside.

If I say to everyone that I have depression, suicide ideation or other stuff, will people really understand? Will they just put us into another box?

If the people (you said it to) were those of us in Sf family then yes most of us though not all, would understnad.

It is my experience that outside of Sf most people aren't capable of communication to the level of dialogue and understanding, and most put others in a box more or less instantly when they hear words like depression, suide ideation, etc.

But, there are good people around if only one can find them.

Yes, I agree.

But I feel like I have to talk to everyone also, not just here in a way. Maybe it is stupid? But I have to confess who I am, all my pain, that no one can understand.

Sometimes I wonder if life is really as random as it seems. It's strange how certain people appear just as we're about to change, how some places feel familiar even though we've never been there, or how some dreams feel more like memories than imagination. Maybe there are connections beyond our understanding. Maybe time isn't as linear as we believe, and intuition is simply an echo of something our minds haven't learned to understand yet. I like to believe the universe leaves signs in silence—through coincidences, premonitions, and unexpected encounters. Maybe the greatest mysteries were never meant to be solved, only experienced.
 
last week i saw a girl with her left prosthetic leg and her gait or walk is uneven, she can’t bend her prosthetic leg and her overall left side is higher than her right side — i know it’s not my business but it really bothered me that they didn’t modify her prosthetic leg to fit her correctly. Her leg doesnt bend, she has to make a half circle motion going outward just to make a step. I feel like this is going to affect her backbone and posture in the long run.
