An important thing I learned from those closest to me is to be honest about what’s going on inside my head. I used to just get eerily silent and deflect if asked about it because I didn’t want to be an emotional burden to anyone.
Truth is, I was burdening them with worry.
One of them finally that it’s when I go silent they worry, not when I talk.
My mother even said “it’s what I don’t know that keeps me up at night”.
Anyways, I just wanted to share this food for thought.
Hope someone can use it
