Reaching out can be hard 💜
Hey everyone 💜
I think for many of us, reaching out can be difficult. We feel that we might be burdening or bothering others by talking about what’s really happening in our lives. The pain, the loneliness, the self-hatred. We fear being judged by others… and we may even remember being judged before 😞
All this can lead us to feeling extremely lonely - because we’re fighting alone. But honestly… I want to remind you that you don’t have to do this alone. There *are* people who care about you. There *are* people who can relate and who would truly understand. 💙 You *do* deserve care, and you really do deserve the best support. (But me understand it can feel differently sometimes 😞)
I thought this could be a safe space where we can talk about how we feel about reaching out 💜 You’re free to share how you feel 💙 and I hope you know that… you never have to suffer in silence. We want to hear you, we want to be there for you and listen. 💜 I promise.
It’s also completely okie to *feel* how you feel 💕 and to take things slowly. 💕
Sending much love your way! 💙 please don’t forget how much we need you, and how much we love you. We are always, always here for you.

Thank you so much, this is what I needed to hear at the moment. I have been struggling so much lately and it is so hard to reach out to people. Thank you.

@SmoothCriminal1958
hey friend 💙 i just wanted to check on you. how have you been? 💜 if it’s okie to ask. 💙
@LoveMyMoonflowers
Hey, it's been a while since I've been here. Thank you for asking. There are still a lot of aspects I need to work on but I am doing much better.
@SmoothCriminal1958 hey there ❤️ Welcome back. I'm glad you’re doing much better, reading that brought a smile to my face. i know life can be hard and it's hard to work on everything at once, all the aspects that need to get alittle better. it's ok to take baby steps. to take things slowly. ❤️
would you like to talk about it alittle more? ❤️ You don't have to of course, no pressure there.
take care of yourself friend ❤️ Lots of love to you.
@LoveMyMoonflowers
The people who care are unable to help me so I don't bother them with my problems.
@Gettingbettertoday
i’m so sorry to hear that ): it must be really tough 😞 i hope you know your never a bother 💙 but i understand how it can feel differently. i’m here if you’d like to tell us a bit more (:
i hope things get better for you, i really do 💜 sending best of wishes your way (: be safe. 💙
@LoveMyMoonflowers
When it comes down to it you can only depend on yourself. Every one else has their own problems to take care of.
I don't understand why it matters. In the end the results are the same.
@Gettingbettertoday
I really hope things get better for you. 💙
I wish I could trust people enough to reach out. Besides everyone seems too busy to even notice that I'm hurting and I don't want to get in their way. I dream of finding someone who'll help me open up but the more the time passes, it seems less likely to ever happen. I've been lonely most of my life and it seems unlikely it'll ever change.
hey @pluckyOcean9581 💙
I hear you, I really do. 💜 i’m so sorry everyone around you seems too busy to notice that you’ve been hurting 💙 i understand how difficult it must be to trust people, and how you feel that you wouldn’t want to get in their way. do you know what causes these feelings? ):
i hear you about dreaming of finding someone you can trust 💙 someone who would help you open up. but it really can be so difficult when things seem like they won’t ever get better (': i get that completely.
we care about you so so much and we’re always here to listen to you. i’m here if you feel comfortable telling us more (': but you can also find a trained volunteer listener to talk to here. i suggest using the filters as well - those are quite helpful 🥰
i’m sending lots of love your way (: be safe and look after yourself, please 💜
My day has not been good...I have this strong intensive intrusive thoughts sometimes I can't feel my body anymore and all I can hear is *** yourself or *** yourself or someone else or undress and run into the road. I don't know what's wrong with me I tried sharing with a trusted friend but it's like I'm bothering him so I blocked him completely I also feel most people won't understand me....I guess this is me reaching out ☹️😭
hey there @lovingCoconut8986 💙 thank you for reaching out (: i’m so proud of you for opening up about your struggles and feeling comfy enough to talk about your feelings. 💜
i am so sorry to hear you’ve been having these intrusive thoughts - it really must be so tough having to battle these thoughts and not having anyone to share this with 😞 especially since you couldn’t reach out to your friend because you felt that you were bothering him. i hear you about feeling like no one understands you ): and i get that completely.
i really hope you know that we are here for you - we’re here to listen to you 💙 this is your safe space and your always so free to talk/vent about things. i’m here if you’d like to tell us a bit more, but you can also find a listener to talk to here. 💜 reaching out isn’t easy, but i am so proud of you for being so strong and being able to do that. much love to you, friend! 💙
Reaching out is one thing.
Finding the right people who actually CAN help and understand us is another mountain to climb...
hey there @Polahn 💜 thank you for sharing your thoughts.
that is true. 💙 finding people who can truly understand us and really help us can be difficult, too. it’s not impossible (': but finding the right people can take time. 💜
@LoveMyMoonflowers
I don't reach out to others for two reasons.
1. I don't have anyone to reach out to.
2. I don't see the point. What can a layman do to help someone that is severely mentally ill?
