Iโm tired of listening about everyoneโs distress. Being a psychologist actually puts a toll on your mental health.
When I actually want to cry or ventilate my difficult feelings no one is around. Itโs painful.
And i think i cannot continue like this anymore.

I donโt know exactly how you feel because Iโm not in the same position as you, but I know what you mean. A lot of my friends have been having a lot of issues with mental health recently, and Iโve been kind of slipping into the role of the โtherapist friend,โ and so everyone is turning to me with their issues. Itโs a lot, but I donโt want to let my friends down, so I donโt say anything. But I feel the same way.
Itโs quite distressing.

I have a few psychology studying friends and I used to think this quite a bit. They read and listen so much and so many perspectives. Who helps them? I am really sorry to hear you donโt have anybody to cry to. Use a pillow for the time being. It helps a little bit. Virtual hugs๐ค๐ค๐ค

What do you do in such situations btw?
Crying and venting out stress sometimesโฆ
Done with hugging the plushiesโฆi do crave for a real hug.
All of my friends are in other states so i donโt even have that privilege.

This may sound stupid but try this out. Go visit your mom and hug her if you crave a real hug so much and moms are always loving. Cry to her too maybe or not ๐.
Yeah I feel you too havenโt had a real hug in years now๐so I just hug the clothes in my closet
Damn it reminded me of the time I tried hugging the walls out of pain and sadness โฆ
I can totally feel yaa
Sky @blue_green

Sky @blue_green
