I cannot tell you how many times someone started trauma dumping on me when I was midway through my own crisis, and I was not in a state to deal with that but because they’d started I no longer felt I could say “for the love of fuck at least wait for me to finish this panic attack first.” It’s shitty to do that to someone, just ask first.
I was not in the spot to hear about the thing a friend (not on Cohost so if you’re seeing this you’re fine) dumped on me just now and for the love of fuck, I would have said yes if I’d been asked I just would have taken a moment to center myself first.
