Someone reached out and talked about their loneliness and shared this drawing. It is quite a powerful one, the person’s doing better and am still in contact with him.
Edit : mentioning as anonymous because he didn’t want to publicly put this out as his
A friend of mine Ampu today reached out and talked about a void he was feeling. And by end of our conversation he wrote this poem, am posting this here.
Also I would like to say loneliness is a real thing always reach out to someone, if not someone, then to me. That’s the bravest thing we could do. So yup
This post was copied from my original post in a neurodivergent subreddit. But this is addressed to a broader audience.
So… I recently was assessed. Something happened which made the traits resurface more than ever. So as far as the assessment results. It was concluded I have ADHD and was mildly autistic. The only reason it took so long to identify was because of seemingly good functioning at work and academics. But I had and still have my fair share of struggles, but I have some people kind enough to help me through some of them.
I also felt one thing many of us both typicals and divergents might struggle with, is expressing. So I thought it would be nice if we could just chat about how your day’s going or maybe we could write a poem together. Maybe you could draw something and share it with me. Or maybe I could just be a listener. If you trust me enough we could even meet up, walk your dog, make a painting together or just climb trees or do some activity together.
Expression has been a healing experience to an extent for me and I would love if you guys tried to do so too. And I believe we tend to be very creative. Also maybe your form of expression might be inspiring to someone else to step out. Just taking an initiative.
All I want to say is, all of us are never alone. And if at all anyone wants to talk I am always there and will always reply. And yeah this is a safe and judgement and bias free space with me, so don’t worry about.
TLDR : All of us, are never alone.
