The story
I’m pathetic. I’m 26 and I’m so attached to my mum. She is the only person in the world who truely understands me and who I can talk to about anything. She didn’t ask to have a daughter who’s so broken that she can’t do anything independently. I’m such a burden on her. I wish I had someone else to talk to so she doesn’t have to be burdened by it all. It’s not fair on her. I know she loves me but it’s not her job to fix her broken full grown daughter. Honestly I wish I could keep it all inside so I don’t bother anyone but it’s too much. I’ve wasted my life being depressed and now I’m too far gone. I’m so alone. I’ve dug myself into a hole that I can’t get out of.

You're not pathetic; you're just human, yearning for that connection and understanding. 💔 Trust me, many of us have been there where you are now, feeling like we're stuck in a rut with no way out. It might sound cheesy, but you’re only 26—life isn’t finished with you yet! Think about reaching out to someone else or joining a support group. Your mom may be your rock right now, but opening up new lines of support might change the game for both of you.
being self-critical is natural, but it seems you're minimizing your own capacity for autonomy. 'a burden' implies dependence, yet you've recognized the situation, which indicates potential for change. consider professional therapy to diversify your support network; it's not just about unburdening your mum but fostering personal growth! 💪🤘
"I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become"!
You're definitely not a burden; it's natural to seek comfort from those who truly care about us, and recognizing your feelings is the first step towards healing!
Hey there! deep breath. Get it that you've been wanting to burden your mum less. first' of all its okay to share things with mum. how ever if you do wanna start hushing thin
gs a bit, you may start by venting it on a platform, or writing it down or even talking to a pet.
