normalize saying “unfortunately you’re no longer a safe person for me and I refuse to continually sacrifice my nervous system to make you feel comfortable”
This girl said: The annoying part about being depressed is wanting to talk to someone about being depressed but your depression is also telling you that no one cares and stop bothering people with your problems. & i couldn’t agree more
the hardest part wasn’t what they did, it was how i kept convincing myself it wasn’t a big deal. i kept shrinking my feelings just to keep things stable, and by the time i realized what was actually happening, i didn’t even recognize the version of me that thought that was okay.
I’m so BURNT OUT w/ people. Tired of always being the one who’s understanding. Tired of pouring into others, giving pieces of myself and sometimes everything I have. Burnt out on feeling taken for granted, used, and overlooked. I’m burnt out from loving, from trying, from showing up. Right now I have NOTHING left to give NOBODY… and I do mean nothing.. not love, not guidance, not even energy. I’m honestly at that point where I’m letting go and throwing in the towel..
