just once, i’d like to be able to talk to [insert name of a person i feel safe around] about what i’ve been going through as i work through past traumas, without falling apart. is that too much to ask.

literally none of the above (in cast #2) makes sense. feel free to assume a 6 y/o wrote it on my behalf.

promise i’m not criticizing that i cry. i cry easy and i think that’s ok. but in the moments where im trying to express how i feel/have felt i just want to be able to get my point across without falling apart every sentence i try to speak.

crying signifies strong feelings, proving that there’s strength in vulnerability. criticizing emotion rather than feeling it in real time is the opposite of progress. you’re strong for carrying such heavy feelings

i know crying is okay, but i would like to be able to get my point across without bawling. it’s so difficult to do it coherently. it’s already difficult enough to open up this bigly. sigh.

It may be too much to ask…right now.  Maybe when you’ve worked through at least one or two of them, that might be when.  For me, it helps to have a therapist who can make me articulate through the bigger stuff.  And nothing really takes the place of that one trusted friend, partner, etc. who can be there for you through thick and thin.
