fuck I'm not in the right headspace when I'm asking this, unresolved trauma. Now I'm repeating in my head "love them more than my mental illnesses".

I wanted to warn an organization i cared about my past and that manipulation comes naturally to me to the point where I don't notice after the fact. I legit want see them succeeded and stand in blind solidarity.

I have reached out someone in the organization about my issues. I'm hoping they respond.

I mean, the logic behind the answer is right there in the question itself. If you’re trying to be honest person because you respect this place, and it’s people, which it seems you are-

Telling them it’s in your nature to deceive is definitely a way to protect them. Even if it’s from you yourself.

Good sleep is important, especially after a night of introspection. It's not a couple of days thing, it takes months to change a single habit. Keep at it and youll turn around in no time and think "i used to be like that"
