The Weight Only You Know

You're right, it can feel like no one understands the pressure you're facing.

Here are some things to keep in mind that might help:

It's okay to not be okay.
Everyone feels overwhelmed sometimes.
You don't have to pretend to be strong all the time.

Talk to someone you trust.
Even if they don't fully understand the specifics, talking to a friend, family member,therapist, or counselor can help you release some of the burden.

Focus on what you can control.
Make a list of the things that are stressing you out, and see if there are any you can tackle or delegate.
For the things you can't control, focus on finding ways to manage your stress, like exercise, relaxation techniques, or spending time in nature.
