burden to them?
I really have been silently struggling a lot and I haven't opened up to anyone since a month ago. I just always feel like the biggest burden and like I'm annoying people if I talk about my feelings to them. And because I bottle everything up for a long time, a couple times a week, I get a strong wave of sadness triggered by loneliness or being overwhelmed and it always gets worse each time it comes. that is happening right now and I just really need to be with someone or at least talk to someone about how I'm feeling. I don't want to be annoying to my best friend since we just talked yesterday but I'm really struggling

Hello! It can feel terrible feeling like a burden to people we care about. I am really sorry you have been feeling this way, it can feel extremely bad. Silently struggling can feel so lonely, and make everything a lot more difficult. Sometimes, our brains do like to tell us things that are necessarily not true. However, I understand that it might just feel too hard to talk with a friend. That doesn't mean you can't talk to anybody though. We at 7 cups are all here for you, you aren't alone.
