Things are really hard right now - we see you

@Rose113 I can hear that you're struggling and you're doing so well to reach out for support- you're definitely not a bother. I’m really sorry you’re feeling this way right now. It must be really tough to go through something like this, especially when it feels harder to speak up or share what’s going on inside. I want you to know that it’s okay to not have all the words or energy right now. Your mental health matters, and sometimes, it’s about taking small steps or even just acknowledging that things are hard. You don’t have to go through this alone—there are people who care about you and want to support you, even if it feels hard to reach out. Your feelings are valid, and you deserve to be heard when you’re ready.
