Lost and lonely

[lonelylife]

I’m exhausted in a way sleep doesn’t fix. I feel close to tears and frustrated with myself for feeling like this again. I keep telling myself it’ll pass, but right now it feels endless. I don’t know what I need — I just know tonight is hard and I needed somewhere to say that out loud.

It's ok to feel those things, it's ok to let it out, as well. Never feel frustrated that you're hurting, hurting is human, and we all suffer from that condition. You are valid, you are loved, and you will come through the fires. We're here for you, always.

Hey. I’m really glad you said something.

That worn-down, on-edge feeling is horrible, especially when you can’t even explain why it’s there. It doesn’t mean you’ve done anything wrong, and it doesn’t mean you should be coping better than you are. Sometimes it just builds up quietly and then hits.

You’re not being dramatic or weak for feeling like this again. It’s just where you are right now, and that’s okay.

You don’t have to figure anything out here. You don’t have to have answers. Just being honest about how you’re feeling is enough, and someone’s listening.

You’re not alone in this, even if it feels that way.
