Who we choose to talk to about how we're feeling is really important particularly if we're anxious or depressed.
You might think that it's obvious that you would talk to your partner or your family or even close friends or coworkers.
Unfortunately, however, many are without the capacity to understand, and there are people out there who use open honesty and vulnerabilities of others as ammunition against them to deflect attention from their own behaviour, to win an argument, or elevate themselves and so on.
Think critically. Can the relationship with whomever it is, support your disclosure with compassion? Is the relationship warm and respectful, and is the other person capable of understanding?
Many relationships are unhealthy and can't support these needs from a healthy environment of warmth and respect.
This shouldn't mean you remain silent.
Speak to a therapist because more important than anything is speaking to someone who can actually help.
Remember: How you're feeling doesn't only affect you, but everyone around you.
This is just a pic of me napping with the kids. Sometimes rest is all you need.
We love you π₯°π₯°ππππ
