opening up
Posted: Sat May 13, 2017 5:00 am
Ive been on here a few week now, making my own posts and talking to other people.
its mental health awareness week and ive noticed a lot of people have posted their stories. I decided i would get some courage and also do the same, i wrote about my issues on facebook and was nervous as hell wondering if i should even press post.
I did and even though still feel anxious now having it all open and out there, i got such a positive response from people. As expected the male friends i talk to most havent commented at all or even acknowledged it (one of my big issues is the guy friends i have arent approachable at all about this sort of stuff because i guess its too heavy for them or they dont undestand which is the main problem i have about bottling everything up), but an extended network of people had come to me and praised me for talking about it. Nothing has changed my mindframe is sort of the same but i feel like a massive weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I dont know if its a temporal thing while the post is fresh and itll just fade back to how it was, but i felt the love of people coming to me.
Ive got to thank websites like this because without being able to express myself anonymously here i probably wouldnt of got the courage to do it publically.
I also found stuff out about my recent ex that paints her in a different picture and realised she wasnt the best towards me while i was almost perfect towards her, so when she came to collect her stuff (ive had it two month) i kept the conversation short, gave her it and left. i then messaged her expressing how i felt that she isnt the nice person she paints herself publically ect ect ect and then blocked her. i dont know if this was a smart move because i got it off my chest, or a bad move because i burned that bridge, i guess time will tell.
