I'm Tired

[Misfit23]

I'm tired. Not because I couldn't sleep and no I don't need a nap. I'm tired because pretending everything's ok when it's not is exhausting. This fake smile takes a lot of effort. So yes I'm tired. But not for the reason you think.

have you spoken to anyone of your feelings.maybe your taking on to much in life and you just need to hold back a bit and recharge.always good to reach out and make that first step in the right direction.

I usually have my mom to talk to but I'm at a family gathering so things are a little different.

hey enjoy your gathering then if still things don't improve have a chat with your mum again or even talk to your g.p about your feelings.

Thanks. It should be over soon.

Think it's nice you're frank and honest about your feelings. I think all of us at one point felt the same way as well. Hang in there.

Misfit.... just read your tired post! I’ve been in your shoes too many times to count. 🙄.... ur right, it IS exhausting. You are SO not alone! Tell me how you feel around your friends, or people u dig!? Sometimes that can be helpful... see what works with people u like... then transfer that energy to the others! I hate “fake smiling”.... but sometimes it just happens. Oh and hi! I’m a newbie here.. its a great place! People here “get me”. I hope u feel the same! You can text me anytime, or pm me... I’ll always listen! And my money is on you NOT being a misfit everywhere!! Take care and sending you a hug! ( a real one, not a fake 🤣🤣🤣🤣)!!
