It gets better?
Yesterday I hung out with my cousin. I have been really depressed, not wanting to do anything but rot. Going out really helped. He had been through a lot of stuff similar to me. So I felt like I could tell him whatever. The only other person I told (other than my therapist) was my best friend. When I told her, she seemed supportive. Now I honestly think she's avoiding me. (Did I make her uncomfortable?) She says she’s busy, so she can’t hang out anytime soon. Although I see her post on her Instagram story with her other friends all the time. Does she not believe me? (She always trauma dumps on me. I'm always there for her.) Idk. Lately, small things have been feeling 100 times worse. Everything makes me extremely angry.
Anyway, talking to my cousin was so cathartic because I could literally say whatever I wanted to, and he could relate and add more to the conversation. I didn't feel alone. Obviously, I'm not 100% fine now, like I still have trauma. I just feel like a weight has been lifted off of my chest. Now I know I have my person I can go to. If that makes things 10% better, I’ll take it.
Sorry if this was all over the place!!
