I'm hitting a wee wall with the challenges in my life. I'm already taking SSRIs, but sometimes everything gets on top of me and I am so tired of crying alone in my room until I feel empty rather than dreadful. I want so much to just cry to a good friend and feel heard and cared for. But I'm 40 years old, not a teenager, and all my friends have difficult lives of their own. It feels self indulgent and an imposition to do this to anyone. Which is silly really because I don't mind my friends off loading to me. I guess my problems don't feel serious or specific enough to warrant other people's time or sympathy. And I don't want to get a rep as that moany whingeing friend.
Can someone just send me a virtual pat on the back and tell me it's going to be OK? Otherwise I'm probably going to end up crying on the shoulder of the next playground mum who politely asks how I am 😂ðŸ˜
