The grief feels impossible to overcome. I’ve tried and done so much. I’ve finally learned to stand up for myself and now I’m alone. Which is fine most of the time but unfortunately humans need connection and I just wish that wasn’t true.

I’ve never heard myself to a T until now. I was the “normal” child to an older disabled sister so everything I did was expected and everything hard for me was harder for someone else.

I’m 44 and have lots of childlike characteristics. No kids, never married. I’ve always just felt like the weird one in the room

I told my therapist I have abandonment trauma. 200 dollars an hour to tell me no one will help practically and it’s up to me alone to discover the internal fortitude to survive. I need someone to hold my hand cuz I’m terrified of facing adult tasks without support. why does that not exist? I’m done exploitative psyche-mining. I’m an adult who needs practical help from a safe person. An empathetic skills mentor.

Madame Loulou :
I've spent my life looking after others, and now that I'm on my own, with no one to care for but myself, I'm struggling. I'm realising that no one cared for me, and I now have yet ANOTHER person to look after - except it's me. I'm so resentful that I have to take care of myself when no one else ever has.

OMG, it resonates so much with me. And the older I get, the more hurt and angry I feel.

I was told how I’ll be fine cause I’ve always been so strong. I then replied, “ have you ever thought that I was forced to be strong cause I had no choice?… and I’m tired of being strong.”

Adult child. I am 53 and lost my husband of 20 years to a widow maker heart attack in 2017. Grief counseling for 8 years with one therapist and another therapist he suggested I see for EMDR. I am still seeing her. Both are great and have helped me in many ways. However, it took a complete stranger in July 2023 nudging me to realize that I have been in stuck mode, only surviving and not actually living again!! Why did he capture my attention & make it so clear when family & friends had been trying to get through to me and I would not let them see 100% me?! He and I instantly became close friends & I was more vulnerable with him than I have with most people; even sharing more with him at times than my late husband, “the love of my life”. I guess I was guarding or protecting myself in a sense. I am grateful the stranger came into my life when he did. We still talk and I value his presence in my life. He challenges me, steps on my toes with hard truths and makes me laugh. He sends me posts, videos, links and helpful, motivational content, Of course those lead me to you by my algorithm & self healing journey. Thank you for posting this video and sharing!!! I am now a follower. 💕

Asking for help wasn’t safe as a child, how can we expect to be able to ask for help as adults!

I spent my whole life taking care of everyone else and putting myself last. cos it seemed like I wasn't worthy of special attention and care. Now that I'm almost 60 and have lost my son and daughter I've finally started putting my needs back on the forefront of my life
