I keep going to vent then realising I’d be massively oversharing and I live in a very different world to a lot of people.

I think I need to buy a damn diary

I don't think anyone here would judge you ❤️

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh I know you guys wouldn’t.

But yeah. There’s no way anyone could help and sometimes the ways people try to help or encourage are quite stressful to deal with.

Or it would just be utterly alien to people who don’t live it.

I can't relate to what you're going through, but I do know what it's like to feel like one's experience is foreign to the majority of people.

Just now I've vented in this thread, and I guess sometimes it gets things off my chest that I've been holding in for so long that they're starting to poison me.

I hope you can find some peace from what you're going through ❤️

Self knowledge is so empowering. Hurts like stink while acquiring such self knowledge though. Like lancing an abscess. Better out than in. Then healing can occur.
