Stressed. Hopelessness. Grief. Fear.
Depressed. Hurt. Pain. Sadness. Overwhelmed. Tired. Angry.
How often have we experienced one of
these emotions or any similar ones and felt we had to hide it from
everyone?
Or what about this scenario? You are
having one of your worst days in a long time and someone asks you how
you are doing. In that split second you vacillate between “Should
I tell them?” or “I wish they would go away.”
I remember being so good at hiding my
pain that I answered that question with another question – “How
are YOU?” It threw the conversation totally on them and they
didn't even realize I never answered them.
I threw many pity parties during those
years and no one ever showed up. After overcoming insurmountable
hardships, I look back and wish I had had someone to share with,
someone who would not judge me.
So …..... For those of you out there
that need a chance to vent or to share your pain or whatever is
bothering you......... Tell me, a stranger, how do you feel today?
Sometimes it is a lot easier to talk to someone whom you have never
met.
I'm a great listener and who knows, I
may have been down a similar path and can empathize. If you want to
share but don't want to do it publicly – just email me. I respond
to all emails.
I would love to hear from you.
