sorry. hey there. I feel bad I haven't been contributing on here as much as I intended, when I have good days I'm hoping to try and come talk on here more. but I just need some advice. just to talk. one of my close friends has been having a hard time lately and I'm trying to atleast be there to listen, and if I can offer some advice or just some kind words but it's getting really hard for me. (1/2 bc it wouldn't let me post it any longer :/)

      hey. you're awesome for being there for your friend while working through your own struggles. like you said, it's not something you can handle; it's good that you know your limits. with friends who are hurting, we can only be present and supportive, and i think doing just that is already good enough. rooting for you. ♡

      I'm ofc keeping anything abt them anonymous but ik that they switched therapists recently and I think it hasn't been helping. but I don't know what to say or do I've been working through some shit on my own and I feel I can't help anymore. like I can tell I'm not fixing anything but this isn't something I can handle. and the holidays have been killing me inside this year and I just recently finished ordering Christmas presents and god I just need a break.
