Therapy dump with a poem 👇

Understand boundaries understand how much a person can take adapt to that person way : poem My body tired I can’t say I’m tired bc

Can’t complain bc fire will begin

I act dumb for attention or I’m silenced

I’m always different

Seem black sheep no one understand

This anger spread to the wrong people I accept

I defend but I dint defend myself

People see me as weak

I hate seeing people be done weak

Why is she trying to make everyone happy when they treat her bad

And treat me bad

People need to learn from they’re mistakes including me but they don’t

Or I dint see them try

I see jokes but end day sometimes they have meaning

My family does that a lot

I think people don’t see my physical fake no more now they focus on what I go through which isn’t fun

Idk if I’m trying enough

If they don’t like something keep it to yourself or if u want answer let me speak no one knows my story but I want to learn your story

Sometimes idk if it’s my overthinking anxiety or depression but I think it’s me actually me no one is perfect but I learning to stop and know my boundaries and others #healingmyself #helpssomeone #improvement #distancehealing

... Read moreIn today's fast-paced world, individuals often grapple with their emotional well-being, finding it difficult to set boundaries and advocate for themselves. The poem shared in this article touches on crucial themes like hypersensitivity and the feeling of being a 'black sheep.' Many people struggle with the weight of others' expectations while trying to stay true to themselves. This emotional landscape can lead to feelings of frustration and isolation, as reflected in the lines of the poem. It's vital to recognize that hypersensitivity is not an illness but rather a heightened perception of reality. This sensitivity allows you to empathize deeply, offering a unique strength in your relationships. Balancing your emotional load requires self-awareness and the courage to communicate your boundaries effectively. To improve mental health and well-being, engaging with supportive communities and discussing feelings openly can be immensely helpful. Remember, sharing your story while listening to others fosters healing and empowerment. Navigating the complexity of emotions, from anxiety and depression to self-doubt, can be overwhelming. Yet, acknowledging these feelings and seeking help can facilitate the path to personal growth and resilience. Embrace your journey of self-discovery, knowing that it's okay to explore vulnerability and seek connections that uplift you. By understanding your limits and learning from experiences, you set the foundation for a healthier and more fulfilling existence.

Original Poem - Just For The Feeling
Addiction isn’t always what we think it is. It’s more than just substances — it can be a feeling, a person, a thrill. I’ve faced my own battles and fears with addiction, and it’s taught me to be aware and cautious. But sometimes, the fear of falling deeper lingers. This poem is my reflection on tha
