u/Remarkable_Day_3906

I’m trying something new: saying my shame triggers out loud instead of hiding them and letting go of some of the shame.

If you want to, add yours to this post too.

Maybe we can bring some of them out of hiding together.

I feel ashamed that:

• I’m 39 and still don’t know what I want to do with my life.

• I wake up with no plans, no direction and nowhere to be.

• I can spend an entire day doing very little.

• I struggle to start things, even things I genuinely want to do.

• I watch my phone ring and can’t make myself answer it.

• I feel behind everyone else in life.

• I want to be held and told that everything is going to be okay.

• I’m grieving a childhood I spent most of my life believing was fine.
