i wish doctors took suicidal ideation more seriously in terms of like. ok so my doctor didnt overtly react in a shutdown manner when i said ‘no, im not going to hurt myself or others’ but the tone in the room definitely changed as if things were less serious now, and its like. yeah its great that im not going to harm myself (which, as if people wouldnt lie in response to that question anyway fearing what the repercussions might be, but thats a different issue) BUT having to deal with the intrusive, sometimes incessant, thoughts about it anyway isnt easy. its exhausting to field and dismiss suicidal thoughts and its not any easier just bc you know youll never go through with any of it, and i just really wish doctors would like. hm. fucking LISTEN when grown adults tell them they need medicine to help manage that.

i dont find arospec stuff limiting but i find the aro community or at least the ideas in it limiting and like i have no stretching room to be and express how my own aromanticism is and shows itself and i really fucking wish i could make it work i really fucking do but after headbutting into wall after wall after wall of being utterly unable to or trying and failing to relate to other aro ppl here i'm coming to the conclusion that i should just drop it and flesh out aromanticism for myself and what it means to me instead of trying to shove myself into "i've undoubtably never experienced romantic attraction in my life, i hate romance, and i don't get anything out of the word love", which hurts considering the entire point of me being here was that i wanted to find other people like me to help put my feelings into words, but i don't think the occasional 'oh hey that kinda fits me' outweighs the feeling like anyone who has anything to do with love or affection or anything is enforcing and normalizing amatonormative shit Inside the aro community and that lov3less aromantic-ness is the Purest form of aromanticism and everything else is diluted or missing the point or taking away from our goal and what non-lov3less arospecs have to say isn't valuable because "romance isn't what makes you human" is our one goal or the only helpful one or just cause this goal exists means we cant try and achieve other ones at the same time and so non-lov3less arospecs expressing their aromanticism in their own ways is Dangerous and Gives The Wrong Idea or even Encourages The Wrong Ideas so has to be shoved in the corners and have a million hundred thousand disclaimers and apologies plastered on it and hidden away and!!! I JUST WANNA SAY I LOVE LOTS OF THINGS AND TO HEAVILY INDULGE IN NON-ROMANTIC AFFECTION AND RELATIONSHIPS AND AESTHETICS WITHOUT BOTH AROS AND ALLOS ASSUMING I MUST JUST SECRETLY WANT ROMANCE AND AM HURTING MYSELF+OTHERS BY NOT REJECTING AFFECTION ALTOGETHER OR BY EMBRACING ROMANCE FULLY AND BE ALIENATED AND DEMONIZED BY BOTH AUUUUUUUGH ITS ALL SO FRUSTRATINGGGGGGGG AND DISHEARTENINGGGGGGG
