@Junebug Do you mean that you feel you were a burden to someone else?
Because I have a few friends that struggle with various mental health issues and when they reach out for support it never crosses my mind that they are “burdening” me. I mean f*ck, they have to deal with those thoughts/issues all of the time, and if speaking to someone about what’s on their mind will help, and I have the energy to be there, I want to be. It’s just that I then have to make sure there are a few days where I can take care of myself too. Because I never want them to walk away feeling like a burden. Never. It’s not right.
And the same is true of others I rely on as well: they need to take time for themselves too.
People are so freaking complex! I’m sorry for what happened which resulted in you feeling disappointed and maybe let down, too. Hugs.
