Again, I Am a Mess...
The story
I understand why it’s happening, at least somewhat, but I wish other countries would stop blaming all Americans for the actions of Trump. Stop lumping us all in with MAGA and telling us we’re all culpable for them and Trump's cronies.
The children, especially queer children, who couldn’t vote at all are culpable? The lgbtqia2p, disabled and other groups with targets on our backs who kept BEGGING people to vote Kamala are all culpable? Intersex and trans people like myself, attempting to all be wiped out and also tried to warn we were/are the first domino to fall, are culpable? The Indigenous peoples (again like myself) trying to be told we aren’t citizens who may be put in camps are culpable? Etc?
I’ve been trying to get out of here for years, but I was trapped with abusive “family” who pretty much pulled a Disney’s Tangled on me, until 22 or so. I was just getting my life back on track, trying to undo some of the damage from medical neglect/malpractice and get my mental health in order to study abroad, that’s all gone. I won't drone on about that again, I already have two or three posts doing so.
I have no one in my corner in my “home” and now no safer country will likely ever let me flee there. Day by day, the family I'm trapped with, keeps pushing me and my feelings aside. I've been in near constant crisis, yet I'm told I have to think of my cishet mother and brother, their wants and needs. While I am trying to crawl out of the hole I'm trapped in and have been trying to beg for help getting out of, on my own when I really can't for many reasons, I am treated as an evil and selfish bitch for not having "compassion" for people telling me I don't matter and I'm "overreacting." Being "lazy." My brother has also begun copying me in a way that just... Unsettles me. I won't go into too much detail on that, but as a brief summary, he's treated me like garbage all my life for being disabled and queer. Or, just the barest hint of being queer I should say, as spiritual abuse at the hands of family and the like made me hide that DEEP. But, then he began to say I was lucky a few years ago, because I can't work I am privileged. Example one of many. I didn't catch it until I began to notice him copying my stims and things I say about my experiences trying to beg for understanding, but I realized he'd been quizzing me my whole life about my trauma disorders and disablilities. He also tried to gaslight me, tell me things he did to me happened in reverse, I did it to him which is a blatant fucking lie. I'm apparently "mean" for not wanting to forgive or enable him (he's trying to get disability when he's not disabled and blatantly copying me to the point his psych even called it out). He has been watching me closely as I've been so upset, too, and started parroting things I've said. Mimicking the way I CRY (I wish I was exaggerating) and I have some serious concern but no one is listening to me. No one.
No one is listening to me about anything, not about this, not about anything I've been writing here. I’m “not valuable” due to being stunted from abuse, being disabled and chronically ill, lumped in with fascist MAGA despite being number one on their hit list. My family is putting people who abuse me first, my brother like I said, my aunt who tried to exorcise me when I was little. And, you may ask, why don't I just leave? HOW WHEN I WAS DELIBERATELY KEPT FROM KNOWING HOW TO DO MUCH OF ANYTHING, AM POOR AND AM DISABLED (made more so by my father not allowing me to see the doctor among other things when I was still stuck with him... The fact mom rescued me from him makes me feel like shit for being so angry at her which is another can of worms)!? And now, my State Removed my protections as a trans and intersex person from the Civil Rights Act.
I. Am. Trapped. And. No. One. Cares.
Apparently, I'm culpable for my own prison, my own abuse. The terrible things happening all over, I am culpable for, despite being a victim of it all myself. For the targets on my back and others, I'm responsible, when I tried to stop it and make others care enough to help stop it. It just hurts, it’s just scary, and I needed it out somewhere. I never even got to live in the first place and now I’m stuck here like this… I'm sorry I keep ranting here about all the same things, but it's anonymous and I have nowhere else to go to. I have nowhere to go online or in real life and it just makes me want to give up all together.
The fact my story, my pain, all sounds so stupid for someone my age to be writing as well just... I swear I had a plan once upon a time, I was supposed to be something, someone different than this.

Hey there! I just read your post and gotta say, everyone struggles sometimes, but it doesn't mean we're stuck forever. I get that not all Americans agree with what's happening, and lumping folks together isn't fair. I can see where you're coming from, but focusing on the "blame game" won't help much.
Take it from me—I've been through stuff where I felt nobody cared, and it sucks. But sometimes, ya gotta dig deep; Find that inner strength; At the end of the day, change begins with you. "Every cloud has a silver lining," they say. Maybe try reaching out to local support groups or peeps who get it. You never know when a new opportunity will come your way!
Staying positive can open new doors, even when it feels like the world's against you. There's hope, always. 🌟 Keep pushing; better days are ahead!
"Blame game" is trying to hold people accountable now, for all that's happening everywhere, and the harm people have done to me personally. Okay then.
One, I have no resources, I've exhausted them all and live in a state that just took my protections out of the Civil Rights Act. Who is trying to sue to get rid of disability protections, too. I think I've expressed how abusive my family is, my health issues, but if not perhaps go look at previous things I've said. I'm well aware that, to an extent, only I can help myself but if the game is so rigged against me where do I even start? I've been fighting, holding on, searching and trying to reach out to people for help. Among other things. There are no more resources and this is exactly what I'm talking about. People don't want to listen to me, you just made your own snap judgments without reading everything it feels like.
Two, stay positive? Jeez, why didn't I think of that?
I really don't mean to be nasty, you seem like you have your heart in the right place but ultimately you're showing a lot of bias, and it doesn't seem like you actually fully read what I said. I do hope you're right, though, that there are better days ahead.
Have a good one.
totally hear you on this one and it ain't easy feeling stuck or unheard, many are quick to "paint with a broad brush" when it comes to opinions about Americans but not everyone fits the MAGA mold
i've dealt with some similar vibes myself not getting support from those around me and it's frustrating 🚧
there's a lot of weight on marginalized communities these days and it feels like we're in this pressure cooker society where every little move is scrutinized
empathize with your situation and hope you find a way out just keep reaching for those "silver linings" and looking for allies even when it feels pointless
careful not to fall into the trap of thinking you're alone more people understand than you might realize
hang in there and keep pushing for what you believe in there's strength in vulnerability and sharing your story can inspire change even when it feels heavy
I completely resonate with your story and the challenges you're facing. It's tough when people think all Americans are on the same page, especially when you're not part of that MAGA crowd. I totally understand your situation! 🤗
You've been through so much, and it's not fair that you're carrying this weight; it's really frustrating when folks around you don't get it. But hey, hang in there! There's always hope for change, and your story will inspire more people than you think!!!
Remember, even when things seem bleak, there's always light at the end of the tunnel. You're stronger than you know!!! Keep fighting for yourself and seeking out those who will support you.
Sending you all the positive vibes and strength to get through this!!! 🌟😊
