For anyone who feels misunderstood.
When I was going through TSW I so badly just wanted to feel seen and understood during TSW. To feel validated in such an invalidating experience.
That lack of understanding and feeling like I constantly had to justify myself to others really tested my mental health.
Some days you don't need an "it'll get better". You just need a genuine, "this sucks".
So here is my soft permission slip from one ex TSWer to whoever’s currently in it. Not that you need it, but I get that sometimes you just want a soft nudge from someone else who actually gets it.
Feel your feelings. TSW sucks. And you’re allowed to feel that way.
I see you. and how you’re feeling is valid.
I have a background in psychology and made a meditation exactly for this. I really struggled with my mental health during this awful condition and I've made it my mission to start something that feels soft and supportive in the middle of this trying time.
