struggles
It's hard to get out of bed in the morning. At the end of the day I find myself crying by myself, hopeless. I wonder how long I can keep this up before I need to make a major change.
I am tired of smiling and pretending to be okay. I let some people in my life but in my experience people are afraid when I am honest about what I think about and struggle with.

Well that is so unfortunate that people sometimes misunderstand you.
People can come up with loads of reasons to dismiss a person. I doubt the people here are so rude. Please talk this out with us..🌲
@AsherTree
I don't think they're trying to be rude, but when something is out of their experience I imagine them to be overwhelmed and just reacting. It just doesn't feel good when I have a felt sense of obligation to care for them when I am struggling so bad and it takes so much energy to open up too :(
@flimflamblam
ok. I really just want you to keep exploring your options. People vary greatly and no ones the same.🌲
@flimflamblam
Your observation seems true to me. People can get uncomfortable when confronted with somebody’s pain.
However, I believe that you can find people who went true enough themselves and are not afraid to hear you. How is your experience with listener chats on 7 cups? Have you tried direct messaging a listener after reading their bio? However, if they are not available at the time, they might not respond or it might take time.
Do you wanna share more about your situation here or 1:1?

My experience with listeners have been a mixed bag! Some are helpful and some just throw advice my way.
