It is okay to say and be honest of what you feel. Sharing my pain is making me feel better too. Here's what I can suggest. I do the sandwich approach when sharing my story (This is a method we use when providing feedback at work). First bun will be the positive things. (ie. When I was a kid my dad treated me like a princess. He always carry me on his shoulder....). Then the spread / palaman will be the frustrations, sadness, challenges, etc. (ie. When I grew up he left us for another girl. My world got shattered....). Then the last bun will be for the positive outcome and what you have learned, or what you will do about the sadness, frustrations etc. (ie. The pain I've been through made me appreciate my Mom more. It taught me to love my family more.....) there you go. :)
I understand that you might be going through something, and admitting that you are not ok is the first step. You will get there, Cat and we will be here (even if we don't know each other personally), for you.
Wow! Thank you for this. I’ll try this one next. And thank you for being there for me. Always remember that just as you are, we are here for you as well. We can beat this. Virtual hugs! 😊
