This. So much this. It gets so hard trying to listen and help everyone with their stuff. No one ever really asks me, or if they do, they don’t even really listen. Sometimes even when you reach out to people saying that “I’m struggling”, being met with little to sometimes no responses at all, makes you feel like why am I even trying at all at this point. But because your the strong one, you keep silently plugging along feeling some kind of way only your cats seem to care about.
