Mid week blues
Today I feel Stressed, un-worthy, ignored , and forgotten. What’s worse when your feelings are invalidated.

I'm going through the same thing with my mom right now. I gave her a boundary and she crossed it. I told her not to do it again and she did it again. I told her it upset me. She yelled. So I told her I wouldn't speak to her again until next week. I told her we both needed a time out to think about how we were acting. People will never like it when you give them boundaries. But just like kids don't like bedtimes or vegetables you have to do them anyways because its what's best for them. You cannot change their behavior, but you can change how you interact with them as a result of them not changing. I can't get my mom to stop giving out my personal information but I can stop giving her private information for her to give out.
@Anonymous That is extremely helpful. Things like this can get very messy especially when attempting to make a point. Just hoping for the best especially because it’s work related.
How are your feelings being invalidated?
@Anonymous When given the opportunity to speak, it’s quickly belittled and gaslighted. I am one to think on things before I act and when it’s time to bring up small boundary requests, it is not an option
Yes it is very messy when it's work related. The best thing I was ever told about dealing with work stuff is "document everything, and get everything in writing if possible." that way you have proof if you need to go to a boss with a complaint.
Yes indeed. I’m just afraid the bullying is effecting my attendance, immune system, and positive outlook
TW I’m feeling really bad about myself today. I feel like a fraud and a liar. I’ve been unable to enjoy my time with my girlfriend because I’m bombarded with my thoughts. I’ve been asking for reassurance from so many people and nothing is helping. Nothing makes me feel better anymore and I’m worried that this is just how it’s going to be for forever. I miss when I could just be happy and not overthink so much. I miss being able to get through my days without this crippling anxiety. I’m worried there’s going to be a day where I realize I have no fight left in me
My mental health is declining due to ocd. It’s like a huge mix between ocd episode and depression wave. I feel weak and hopeless. I wanna cry. I’m exhausted . I feel like I’ve lost myself again.
im so tired of trying to express my feeling and feeling so dumb. im so angry and my chest hurts from sadness and stress all the time with no one to talk to, this is so lonely. the only friend i had got annoyed with me and said maybe this is happening because i dont listen. i hate this so much and i gained so much weight from stress. i cant look pretty or happy if i tried.
