still here
i made a post months ago, back in july about feeling replaceable and invisible. unfortunately for me, that never went away. i have so much going on in my head and no one i can spill it all too, not even my closest friend. they have so much going on too, so do my siblings and i dont want to burden them. my spouse doesn't really listen, they never do, not until im screaming and crying and having a whole meltdown, which is embarrassing and i hate it. i hate feeling this way and i hate letting it all build and boil over.
@selfinflictedhealing i know how it feels when you think you dont matter. i know the thoughts that go through your mind, the ones that tell you it wouldnt matter whether you are there or not. its a hard thing to deal with, and im sure you already are quite strong to still be here. i know it may not seem like it, but you DO matter. people DO care. people WILL notice if youre not there. not being able to share things like this with close people is hard, and its even more frustrating when they dont know, but here the listeners are good and they WILL hear you out and try to help as much as they can. i really hope you feel better soon, the best of luck in your life
@selfinflictedhealing
you are not alone. it is a simple reminder that really helps when you believe it. it really hurts to feel as if you cannot open up to anyone, especially the people with whom you should be able to be vulnerable at any time. but always remember that you are loved, seen, and valued. there are so many people who are ready and willing to support you through difficult times, some of whom are strangers like me. so, i really hope that you have found a sense of sanctuary here on 7cups and experienced some relief from all the pressure. feel free to reach out to me at any time. sending you my best <3
