Im slipping

I saw something earlier today that pushed me to make this post, after days of overthinking. It...is as the title says.

Im slipping. 

Ive...nearly done things I couldnt come back from. Ive cut off ties with some people, but i dont feel better or worse for it. I just feel dull. And the kicker, the lies. All the lovely little lies I live in.

Idk what to say, honestly. Ive seen people reaching out more lately. Thought, maybe its a step. But it feels dramatic, and like I have to reassure you things i dont believe in the end: im fine, dont worry, itll pass

you know how they say you cant sit in silence when you need help, that you have to ask for it? 

well, im asking for it, then.

@unassumingEyes

You didn’t sound dramatic. You sounded honest. And that matters. The moment you said, “I’m asking for it” was brave. Not loud. Not polished. Just real.

That dullness you’re describing, the numb haze, the slipping. It’s not weakness. It’s weight. You’ve clearly been carrying too much of it alone. So hear this. Just because you’re tangled in lies your mind tells you doesn’t mean you are a lie. You’re still here. Still reaching. That means something.

You don’t need the right words. You don’t have to reassure anyone. You already did the hard part. You spoke up. Let people show up for you now. You don’t have to do this alone.

@unassumingEyes It saddens me so much when our young people ache with such pain. You may have contemplated for some tine before actually posting this, but I want you to know that I applaud you! You're right-- asking for help really is a step and it's a big one at that. Putting yourself out there and sharing your feelings is not always easy. But guess what-- you did it! I'm not exactly sure what all you're going through in life, but I hope you know there's people who care for you! Cutting people off is hard. I'm sure you have your reasons for wanting to remove certain people from your life, but please be mindful of keeping those who care and love you near. Do what you need to do to heal. Write. Draw. Color. Cry. Find something productive that you can do to help you feel better. I'm sure you heard the whole "it's ok to not be ok" phase. I hope you know it's true. Even if you are not ok right now that's ok! Just be real with your feelings and emotions. No need to try and pretend or tell yourself lies. Healing takes time. Whatever is going on in life, know that you can overcome it. It may not seem like it now, but you're resilient as they come. I always wanted to touch on something you said about doing things you can't come back from... in life, as long as you are still breathing, there's always room to make amends. You have your whole life ahead of you and I hope you live a long, happy, successful life. Please never give up hope or be afraid to speak up when you need help. You matter. I hope that you will be ok. Sending hugs your way! 🤗

You're not the only one. I've done things I probably shouldn't have been able to come back from. The lies are the hardest part. It feels like only special cases, necessary cases, but it doesn't ever really leave you.

The people reaching out...maybe that's your way out of this. It was for me.

I feel for you, and I hope you get through the worst of this ok, and soon.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out. I know what it’s like to be in that spot asking for help but people keep brushing it off. I’m here, and many like me are here for you. So know you’re not alone.

@unassumingEyes I'm sorry ur going through this sometimes cutting ties with certain people can be the best thing you can do for yourself... As you've seen how they react or act try not to force urself too much to act better for pleasing them because when we do that, we hurt our true selves. but It can be overwhelming when people suddenly start to care so much and feel dramatic. maybe some actually do care about how you feel but it's more of how they themselves want to see you, not how you're actually feeling and this feeling of acting better when you know ur not being true to yourself can be suffocating... you want someone to know how you actually feel and know the real you. and I'm glad you reached out for that 🤍 I wish you find the support you're looking for🍀 You've got this! ❤️

@unassumingEyes Hey Eyes 💙 I have to admit this is pretty relatable. While it might not be dramatic from an outside perspective - it can still feel this way. Maybe there's never been anyone that you could ask for help or maybe the people you asked turned away. Maybe we get so used to being perceived as the strong one that letting our guard down and admitting that we're struggling just feels wrong. 😕

As a few others have asked - How can we help? 💙
