Hello @Eden1919, thank you for sharing. I am sure that many people can relate to having difficulties communicating, I know that I can. I am curious to whether you could please expand on this. Is it when you are trying to communicate your feelings and thoughts with others? Or more in general being unable to find the words? Or something completely different? Is there something that has worked for you in the past 🙂

@Eden1919 I can relate. In my experience, I have found that everyone is trying their best but not everyone knows how to respond in the way that I need them to when I am sharing my vulnerability and telling them that I am not ok. Do you have any people in your life that can be the support you need at the moment whether it is a psychologist, a support group or a friend?

@Eden1919 I'm really sorry to hear that you're not okay at the moment. I hear that you are trying to talk to your supports and the response seems to be to 'hang on' which... I mean it's always good to hang on of course, but it sounds like that's not really sufficient to your needs at the moment. Do you feel like you're looking for practical advice on what to do or how to cope, or do you feel it's more a need to be heard and to get some stuff off your chest?
You're welcome to communicate with us here, you can talk about some of what you're going through or vent some of your emotions, if you feel comfortable to do so

Been there. many times. There now at least a bit
I deal with it by giving myself permission to stop trying. If people can't understand then I'd rather not put both of us through the frustration of failure. I wouldn't neccesarily call that advice, though. Just where I find myself sometimes.
