It has been a tough month. With health issues, school difficulties and do not even mention family problems... So there has been some triggers   and it is just been stressful.   I have been pretty depressed and feeling very vulnerable and really wanting to cut. I feel really like I have to act like everything is fine and cannot talk about the things that are bothering me with the people who I would really just like to talk about it with. Which kind of leaves me feeling hurt and resentful and not wanting to trust. I feel like asking for help is so difficult and you can only do it so many times and be rejected before you just take on this attitude of fine **I do not need your help anyway - I do not actually need anyone's help and I will manage perfectly fine on my own.** Except that is not how it works, you do not manage perfectly fine. You try harder at not feeling feelings IRONIC being that feelings were something you worked so hard to feel!   you start not talking about anything that even remotely bothers you, you put a band-aid on everything you are struggling with and act like things are OK when in fact, on the inside, you are screaming and wishing, hoping that someone would hear you. Enter more hurt and resentment . It is just really difficult **I simply want to feel heard supported loved.**
