Fd interrogations..

How could you divert the question after a prompt answer?

Something like

“I exceeded the absence so he FD’d me, an unofficial drop. Anyway i don’t think you can do withdrawal forms late into the semester. There’s a specific period, u can see it in the handbook.

Anyways, why do you wanna drop yourself?”

How could you look at this humorously?

• (That one tt about how attachment has never seen you coming)

• I pulled a disappearing act & the system noticed

Name what you felt

• embarrassed

• Caught off guard

• Felt like my dignity was violated

What do you not owe them?

I don’t owe the class a polished narrative of my life. I’m allowed to figure stuff out.

What visualization could you do?

• Picture that moment. Picture him asking those questions and me replying calmly.

• Picture myself holding that moment like a box, gently. And say: ‘it happened. It hurt real bad. But i’m putting it down now.’

• Then breathe, and mentally push the box away.

Affirmations

• i am not defined by how this might look to a small fraction of people

• Messy doesn’t automatically mean worthless
