If
they’re anything like me, they are really good at putting on a happy
face and are not good at asking for help when they need it. This has
been a really rough month and I realized today that I’m really good at
hiding that fact. Someone just complimented me on always being so
positive, though right now on the inside I feel like I’m drowning in
sorrow.
Edit: Wow, this really blew up, I really did not expect that. I
sincerely appreciate everyone who responded, reading through these has
eased my mind a bit. Also thank you kind stranger for my first reddit
gold!
To those of you who asked if I’m ok; Tbh not really but I will be.
The darkness in my mind waxes and wanes and yesterday was a bit heavier
than I’m used to, probably due to pain that’s been keeping me from
sleeping well the past month. I’m working on getting better at asking
for help and expressing how I truly feel all the time, not just when I’m
happy. I’d explain more of what I’m going through but I have a hard
enough time doing that with friends, as this post has gotten much more
attention than I was expecting I’ll just say that I’m working on getting
better one day at a time.
Again thank you all, none of you are truly alone in this. Be kind to one another and yourselves. Even Especially the ones that seem mean spirited or grumpy, they often are just projecting and need it just a much.
I’m at work now so I’ll try to respond to as many of you as I can this evening. Most likely through your inbox.
