Tw // ch1ld abuse, trauma, burns, burn victim
I’ll keep this super short but I have decided to no longer respond to trauma dumping DMs anymore ! I get a lot of them (at least five every time I work) and it is always paragraphs long and exhausting to read and respond to. Y’all pay me $7 to watch me create content, not for me to be a therapist.
I had a sub today tell me how his mom set him on fire when he was a ch1ld and he is a burn victim and that triggered me super bad. I have a phobia of burn victims and he gave me zero warnings whatsoever. So from now on, I will be ignoring DMs that delve into abuse, trauma, depression and anything of the like. I’ve realized the reason I am poor at answering DMs is because of these types of messages. It’s emotionally draining and 100% of y’all give me zero warning or ask for consent to tell me these things.
Also I know I talk about my own life circumstances, but I only do so when I feel it’s necessary (such as me being absent for a long time or being in a constant bad mood). So yeah ..
It’s not like I dont care about y’all but I feel its important I protect my mental health and remind you all the this is my job and I am a regular human behind the screen. I appreciate some of you trusting me with the information you share but sometimes I have to affirm my own personal boundaries. That being said, I hope y’all are having a Good Friday and a happy weekend :)
