WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I AM BURDENING THOSE AROUND ME WHEN I AM HAVING TROUBLE MENTALLY

Hey @Former-Member,

I wonder if you could share a bit more about what is happening for you at the moment and what your peers might be able to support you with?

I definitely think it is quite a common experience for us humans to feel like a burden on others when our needs might appear to be a bit higher - this doesn't make it easier! But that feeling may not necessarily be true, rather something a bit of insecurity may feed into. Maybe you could share your thoughts on that?

@Former-Member. I wonder if it's your negative self talk that makes you think you are a burden to those around you?

Maybe the reality is, that they don't see you as a burden at all.

Hi @Former-Member

I don't know what's happened recently but maybe you are going through a really dark patch and it all feels bleak and horrible

I just want to remind you that you have been a major support to your family and done so at great expense to your own well-being - you have given a lot

Do you feel like telling us more
