so tired
i’m so exhausted. my house hold is not doing so well, my parents got into a fight, im constantly being forgotten or ignored since i’m the middle child. i just wish someone will notice that i’m struggling badly again and ask how i am instead of making me feel shame for trying to express how i feel or tell me that i’m not being empathetic if i get bad at someone. i just need someone to care, it’s so hard only feeling like i’m needed when i’m helping others, i want others to help me at times. i’m always seen as the happy person and i just want someone to listen to me or let me vent to them. it’s so exhausting

Hey smolstrawberries,
I understand being exhausted from everything that is going on. I'm sorry to hear that your household isn't doing well and your parents got into a fight. I'm sorry to hear that you feel that you're constantly being forgotten or ignored because you're the middle child. I understand you wishing that someone would notice that you're struggling again and ask how you are feeling and doing instead of making you feel guilty because of it. I understand you wanting someone to care about you when you're feeling down/depressed. I understand the feeling that you want to feel need but it's hard to feel that way when you're always helping others. I understand wanting others to support you and help at time as you also are a person and struggle. I understand always being seen as the happy person even though deep down you're not. I understand wanting someone to listen to you and let you vent about how you're feeling as we all need to do that sometimes in our lives. I understand how truly this is so exhausting for you. I hope you know you're not alone on 7 cups in this. That we care about you and your feelings/emotions are valid and heard. We care about your well being and mental health. They're listeners here who would be willing listen to you if you need to talk like me. I know you're struggling right now and know that you're being heard. It feels like it's a never ending cycle and these feelings won't go away. But they're temporary. Eventually you'll be happy again. It'll be a long journey to get there though. Please take care of yourself and mental health. I hope this message finds you safe and healthy.❤️
