I was probably crying before I got there and might get another tension headache soon.
Theyre just going to.
This is the one fear that never leaves me.

Its always there and not a lot of things can change it.
I need you to validate both me and my emotions
I need validation consistently.
Maybe thats okay too, but I wont know unless you tell me.
Dont say you understand if you dont
This is one of things that bothers me the most.
You either get what Im going through or you dont.
Im fine either way, because I dont expect everyone to understand something so complex.
But dont say that youre going to be there and then back out.
Thats the worst thing you could do to anybody whos in need.
Attention is the last thing I would want in either of these situations.
To call this attention-seeking is being disrespectful of the other person.
Im more than just my diagnosis
Its not what it looks like in your mind.
Im just another regular 23-year-old trying to find her place in the world.
I hope reading this helps you or someone you know.
