I just need to get this off my chest

Wow, thank you for sharing your story! It takes a lot of courage to open up like this... You're definitely not alone in feeling this way, especially when it seems like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Remember the wise words, "This too shall pass." It’s essential to find a healthy outlet, just like your drawing, and lean on that. Feeling detached and going through trust issues can be super tough, but relationships can slowly build back up with time. Don’t be too hard on yourself—navigating friendships and emotional health is complex. Seek out moments of joy, focus on self-care, and maybe consider exploring new hobbies or interests that spark your passion. You got this! 💪💕

i totally get where you're coming from and want to say that it's okay to feel this way. balancing emotional labor can be super challenging, especially when we are also struggling. it's vital to remember that self-care is not selfish and drawing seems like a great way for you to express yourself creatively. feeling like a "therapist friend" can be exhausting, especially when dealing with trust issues. it might be really helpful to set some boundaries about when, where, and how you engage with friends when you’re not feeling your best. communication is crucial. maybe gently sharing how you feel with "Po" can provide clarity and help maintain your friendship. your feelings of wanting to quit activities you once enjoyed are understandable, but sometimes rekindling those interests can provide a sense of stability and joy. you're handling a lot, but take it step by step, and remember that it's okay to prioritize your mental well-being. 😊

wow, it sounds like you're putting a lot on your shoulders, maybe too much. you say you don’t trust anyone because of past experiences, but shutting everyone out isn’t the solution; friendships are complicated, sure, but it’s not like you’re the only one dealing with this stuff. being the "lone wolf" ain't gonna help in the long run. it's also not fair to just depend on "Po" while knowing she's got her own problems!!! you know it's winter and everyone’s a bit glum, so don't you think you might be exaggerating a bit? you're not alone in feeling this way, but isolating isn't gonna help, is it? it might be time to actually trust someone else or talk to a professional and not just wallow in your art and negative thoughts. think about it.

sounds like you're really going through it. it's super frustrating to be everyone else's fixer and get nothing in return. you ain't alone in feeling like you're drained dry!!! i've been there too, and it's tough to break the cycle. it's okay to take a step back and focus on what you need rather than constantly giving to others. talking to "Po" seems difficult if she's always overwhelmed, so maybe try finding someone else to vent to. don't let these feelings eat you up because you deserve to feel better. it's all about taking small steps to prioritize yourself; you got this!

hey, totally feel what you're saying; been the "lone wolf" myself a few times. it's rough when everything seems heavy!!! you mentioned drawing—that's a fantastic outlet. "Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." when i was down, picking up a sketchbook really helped clear my head. being the "therapist friend" can be tough; but remember, it's okay to set boundaries. made the mistake of not doing that once and it got overwhelming fast. trust can be rebuilt a little at a time, and it's worth it. everyone has their ups and downs, but it’s all about finding what lifts you up. hang in there; things can change when you least expect it!

man, i completely get where you're coming from. it's a total drag being the "lone wolf" and the go-to fixer when you’re running on empty yourself. sounds like you're really stuck on this endless treadmill; "no good deed goes unpunished," right? but listen, art is a solid outlet, so keep at it. you gotta make sure to put yourself first sometimes and not just be everyone's emotional support. relationships can evolve and change, which sucks, but it can also open doors to new connections. take a breather and give yourself some slack, you deserve it. everything might feel like a mess now, but hang in there; you'll find your way.

hey, i really feel you on this! it's exhausting when you’re expected to be the "therapist friend" for everyone around you, especially when you're dealing with your own stuff. sometimes, it feels like you're stuck in a loop, helping everyone else while your own needs get sidelined!!! i've been there myself, and it can be super draining. 🤦‍♂️ drawing seems like a great escape, and it's awesome you have something that helps take your mind off things. it's tough when friendships feel like they’re slipping away, but remember, it's normal for relationships to change. talking to someone outside your usual circle might offer a fresh perspective. you're not alone, and there will always be people who genuinely care about you. keep doing what helps you feel better and take one day at a time. your feelings are valid, and taking care of yourself is key.

yeah, it's tough being the "lone wolf" and feeling like you're always the one helping others. i get that it's draining, but maybe you're just seeing the downside right now. friendships are complicated, but shutting down ain't the answer; you can't expect everything to stay the same forever. sometimes taking a step back helps clear your head and see things better. don't let trust issues stop you from reaching out or trying to connect with others; you might find some surprising new friendships. everything you're feeling is valid, but keep in mind that things change and can get better. focus on the positives and keep drawing; it's a great way to express yourself. 😊

hey, i get that you're feeling overwhelmed, but maybe you're focusing too much on the negatives. being the "lone wolf" and "therapist friend" can be tough, but you're letting it define you too much; relationships change, and that's not always a bad thing. trust issues are something we all deal with, but shutting people out isn't the answer. there's a quote, "change is the only constant," and maybe it’s time to embrace that. drawing is awesome, so keep using it to channel those feelings. stepping out of your comfort zone could open doors to new opportunities. hang in there—you've got this!

hey, i totally feel you! it sounds like you're really stuck in a tough spot. it's rough when you're always the go-to for helping others but don't feel like you have that same support; being the "lone wolf" is not easy, and it makes things feel heavier. the drawing seems like an awesome way to express yourself and let some of that stress out. maybe try reaching out a bit more, even though it's hard, and see if you can build new connections. everything changes, and that's part of life, but it can get better! hang in there, keep your head up, and embrace the good things—better days are ahead! 🌈

You know what, your situation really resonates with me because I've been down that road myself. 😤 Constantly being "the therapist friend" is incredibly taxing when you're already stretched thin by your own challenges. It’s like you’re running an endless marathon, always helping others while your own needs get tossed aside. The feeling of being a "lone wolf" isn’t easy to shake, but it’s essential to change that narrative. Whenever I felt like I was drowning in obligations and didn’t know how to come up for air, I realized the importance of reevaluating relationships and setting boundaries. Draw your line in the sand and prioritize your well-being, or you'll burn out spectacularly. Take it from me; the world isn't going to end if you focus on yourself for once. You'll get through this, but you've got to put in the work to change the cycle. 💪
