I think when you are feeling upset or depressed, it is so important to be listened to. To be reassured you are cared about and to feel validated.
I know it helps me so much when someone just listens to me when I talk and doesn’t interrupt or try and throw words my way in order to make me feel comforted.
That isn’t how it should work. We all need someone to hear us and let us talk. Let us cry and let us say whatever we need to say to feel better about the shitty situation we are in.

This year has been a crappy year, especially at the very very beginning! I couldn’t believe everything that was happening at once.
And, it wasn’t just stupid things, it was LIFE CHANGING things. Things that completely and uttering turned my life upside down and sideways type of things.
I remember when this year first started and learning about several things that I was not ready to hear (are we EVER ready to hear shit news???).
It was so very difficult. I was (and still am at times), completely and utterly lost feeling. I felt like I am SOOOO alone and that was hard. I felt like I had no one who would understand me or what I was going through.
