No one would know if I did.
Why drown mentally

great work
I don't know whether to feel happy or sad that we're in the same boat 😅 Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
Sorry you feel like you are drowning. I though you were ok, when I last chat with you. Even when we are not chatting you are in my thoughts and prayers. I know that feeling. That’s when I pause and wait for that feeling to subside. I learn to be patience with myself with overwhelming feelings. What’s in your self care tool box when you get this way before?
We would knwo if you disappeared and we would miss you. We are here for you. Sad but powerful words
