I feel that while being told that I’m great/not alone/strong etc. is nice and comforting it doesn’t do anything beyond that.
Regardless of the validity and truth of those compliments, being a great person doesn’t really alleviate my emotional pain, does it? It’s also nice to hear that people are there for me/people relate to my feelings but validation doesn’t really...free me from my troubles.
I don’t know, but at this point I think I need something much more than a listening ear? I’m in so much frustration and pain that what I need is genuine help, maybe also therapy (not that I can afford either.)
I’ve been feeling so awful, and I can only feel numb on my best days. It hurts me to know that there might not be an exit to this..
