I don’t know what to do

anonyBirch3807 April 15th, 2021

The last time was 2 years ago. I don’t know why I’m not better yet. Recently I tried talking about this. No one gets it or understands. I feel alone and I’m tired of trying. It’s there at every turn. I’ve been told to just “let it go” and treated like I just need to shut up and grow up. I’m so tired of it all

@anonyBirch3807 while there's no "timeframe" that you need to follow, everyone goes through processing and creating a new normal at their own pace, if it feels like this is impacting your life in big ways, it could be time to seek support from a professional. I think a lot of people just don't know how to talk about the topic, and like you said, can say hurtful things because they just don't get it. But I think a professional would better understand your feelings and skills you can develop to help process through it. Or at least, maybe support groups with people who have gone through similar things? Those are usually free if finances are an issue. In that way, at least you'd have people to talk to who would actually listen. I think some listeners on here would also be helpful, just for venting.
