I think one of the most challenging things about being mentally ill is trying to find a balance between protecting your friends, family and loved ones from your illness when you are in crisis and trying to also reach out and be taken seriously. I struggle with this every day.
Sometimes its everything I can do not to let someone know that I am hurting when they are already going through so much in their own life. Who am I to intrude my issues onto them? Who am I to impose onto them what I am feeling to make myself feel better?
Its kind of egotistical and narcissist to think that everything evolves around you and that people should drop everything to talk to you. So I suffer in silence and hope to get through the day white knuckling every part of the day.
Protection or self sabatoge?
