Went to my monthly RESOLVE meeting last night. Saw some new faces. There were six of us total and it nice to hear some stories. I was the only one that was really emotional because I was the only one that had experienced a loss. So the box of tissues stayed close by.
I sometimes feel like I talk about my struggles too much, and one woman said she doesn't talk about it much because she doesn't want people to pity her.
I never actually thought about that. I tell people because I want people to know that's it a real thing that real people struggle with. I don't tell people because I want them to feel bad for me. I am a strong person and a fighter and I don't need people to feel bad for me. I just want people to know what I am going through. Just in case they come face to face with a similar struggle or know someone who is.
So please don't feel bad for me. I feel bad enough for myself. I want you to find strength in my struggle and know that it's okay to talk about it and it's okay to not talk about it too.
