Re: Im just so tired of living like this.
I didn’t see this Chloe ahh💙
Chloe I’m so sorry you’ve been feeling this way. My heart breaks for you because you are one of the nicest people I know. You don’t deserve to be carrying this hurt and I wish we could say something that would make it feel better but I know it doesn’t work like that.
From what you’ve said, it sounds like you’ve been through so much and so it’s understandable that it feels overwhelming. Struggling right now doesn’t mean that you’ll be stuck feeling this way forever. Change is possible.. even if it feels far away at the moment.
It’s okay to feel numb and to struggle with connecting your body and mind. I’m sure I feel like this sometimes too. Sure, I imagine it’s quite common reactions to trauma. And it’s fine to want to meet other people’s expectations but it’s important to remember that your needs, wants and well-being are so important too. Never forget that💙
As for your future and wanting to have kids. It’s normal to worry about these things… but you’re not your past and I know it seems all bleak right now but it will get better and we will be here with you until it does
I’m sorry if this is all jumbled I haven’t had any sleep😂 but I want you to know that we care about you a lot
Keep on pushing through Chloe💙

Re: Please please respond
Hi @shameful_possum72 it's your choice. You don't need to be disturbed by others' connections. Also, just don't take it that seriously. It's just a color you like.

Re: [deleted]
You’re definitely not a letdown / disappointment. I think that because you’re trying. You’re trying to move forwards and you’ve done stuff at college - I can’t remember the specifics sorry but I know you’re really trying to get a job and all of that. I feel like sometimes the older generations think university is the only successful pathway for people, but it’s not like that really, there are other options. I dont know why your uncle would say that to you, especially if he knows you’re genuinely trying. I’m so sorry.
