Woke up feeling a little splitty this morning. Did my best to cope it down with my skills and then I spoke to my FP for a bit. I ended up feeling kinda shitty after the conversation (totally not their fault). I felt like a huge burden, like regardless of how much progress I make, how functional I am, how much therapy I’ve gone to, how hard I try to not be one.... Ill always be a massive burden to those around me. It’s a heavy weight, and I feel it. I don’t want to do that to anyone, but I’m self aware of how difficult I can be sometimes and how much care I can require. I often feel I try and compensate for my perceived burden by trying to be my super-best self when I do feel good and more in control. I have a great support system, and I really try my best to “water the important flowers” within my “garden of support people” (analogy), because I don’t want them to feel neglected and leave. It’s a pretty crappy circle of emotions for me internally: feeling like a burden and that something about you inherently will drive people away sucks. Just curious if anyone experiences similar emotions or if anyone has any kind words &lt;3
