What do you just want to say?

[ssd]

I just want to say i count too. I'm hurting and sad and anxious and lonely. And no one notices. I'm the one who does the thinking and when i don't, no one does. So don't snap at me, I'm biting tears back anyway.
I just wanted to say.

Hugs. Of course you do. And you need to believe that because it's true. Any anyone who makes you feel otherwise (at least more than once in a blue moon) needs to be told so in exactly those words.

I hope you say it to the person making you feel that way.

I feel sad too sit down and make just yourself a nice drink, I've locked myself in the bathroom right now.

I hope you say it to the person making you feel that way.

Its a multitude of people in one way or another. I'm the shoulder everyone leans on, i dont know where my shoulder is.

What would happen if you stopped and told people how you feel?

What I would like to actually say is :
No I'm not alright,
but like you I never do.
Big hug 💕

That sucks OP. 💐

Everyone’s taking your fortitude for granted. They don’t see that you have feeling too. Of course you do. You’re only human.

It’s been a tough couple of years. There is not one person who hasn’t been affected in some way by Coronavirus, even if it’s ‘only’ lockdowns, not being ill with it.

Go do something that makes YOU happy. Even if it’s going for a walk or a nice scented bath or a slice of cake. You deserve it.

I dont know what would happen really. I keep everything inside.

I hope you got a good nights rest last night and got a chance to do something for yourself.

Have you thought about speaking to people and telling them that you have feelings too?

Bug hugs 🤗 of course you matter!
What I'd like to say:
Start pulling your bloody weight , I've shouldered this burden for 16 years. It's not mine alone.

Then I think that, in the nicest possible way, you need to take at least some responsibility for the situation. If you have taken up the position of continually catering to everyone else, regardless of your own feelings, and never ask to have your own needs met, you are blaming other people for doing what you do yourself, putting your own needs last.

I don’t mean this unpleasantly, but well-meaning people-pleasers
Ike you post similar stuff on here all the time, and don’t seem to understand their own complicity in people putting them last.

You can change it.

Very true.
