I’m in this comic, and while I have an amazing partner, I still stop myself mid-ramble from time to time because those mean comments still live in the back of my head.

Im thankful my partner reassures me to keep rambling, and I hope the internalizing I’ve done in my dark, formative years become insignificant enough that I no longer second-guess myself one day

Are you my partner? My partner's like this. Sometimes it saddens me to see the struggle.

I don’t think so, but i hope you’re in a good spot with your partner, and that they manage to also get the help that they may need to overcome those internal obstacles while respecting boundaries.

Im slowly working towards being able to afford therapy myself, since while the encouragement greatly helps, there’s also stuff deep down (in my own experience) that I would need to work through to hopefully, eventually overcome my own obstacles.

Lol, of course not. She's not even on Lemmy.

I had to reassure her that things will be alright. Still do sometimes, but she's improved a lot.
