it’s exhausting for them because they’re constantly trying to FIX our problems. If they just lend an ear for a while and just be there for us, it’s not a burden.

I'd rather be exhausted by someone I love then to have them suffer in silence or to not have them here.

I think that's why my partner left me...he was trying to fix me and I told him I just needed him to be there. He made me feel like I was too much of a burden to carry and one day he just turned around and said, "maybe we should call it quits"... 3 days after coming out of hospital. 2 years just gone😔 I never wish to be a burden to anyone..💔

Honest question. Do we not have the right to feel this way? Can we still love and care for someone and be exhausted? The mental health issue can be draining for those of us who care. We feel like we're having to walk on egg shells daily because we don't want to cause issues.

I’ve pulled away from everyone bc I feel like such a burden on them. I literally have no one to talk to anymore. I speak to God every day and just hope that he’s listening.

A turning point for me was realizing that no matter how much I talked about my depression and mental health problems, it never got better. Venting was a temporary relief that faded quickly. It wasn’t until I started learning how to love and take care of myself, how to focus on what I can control, how to recognize depressive symptoms and triggers before an episode occurred, and how to live true to my values, that my depression finally got better. Therapy and medication made those things possible. It’s possible for you too.

My husband is exhausted by me and my depression. He has a right to be, i am exhausted by it too. But i don’t need help “fixing” anything, i just want someone to open an ear to listen to my feelings the same way I listen to them. I could listen to him talk all day, but it’s apparently so stressful to listen to me for 5 minutes…

Im always here to cheer on others and give them support but nobody’s there to check on me. They just ignore that something is clearly wrong because they don’t wanna deal with it.

It makes me sad reading how many people suffer from mental health problems and don’t have anyone to talk to because I know from experience that it can save you. I hope and pray that each of you find peace and comfort ❤️

And then people ask why I never ask for help. I was made to believe that my emotions are burdensome to others and now I'd rather suffer in silence than potentially bother someone 🙃

as someone who has been on both ends its exhausting to listen and always being the one listening and not really having anyone listen when you need it is what hurts and it isnt easy finding people who get both sides and will still be empathetic

I understand. I’m a grandmother with 2 children with bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, ADD, depression, anxiety. Then one grandchild with anxiety and depression and another with cerebral palsy. I pray, and listen and love unconditionally. If you want me to listen I will

it's exhausting because we don't know how to help not because we don't care or love you, please never stop talking about it even on here if needed 🙏🏻

I’d rather be exhausted trying to help than have to wonder everyday the rest of my life why you didn’t ask me for help. Deep talks are better than a funeral.

Try doing voice memos of you telling your story- it’s actually healing just speaking it out loud and imagining it leaving with your words
