You know... The hard thing about constantly being everyone's support system is the impact it has on my mental health. Sure. People need support. Sure, I like helping. But it really is the little things. Someone vents. Someone has a bad day. Someone goes through a hard time and needs a lot of support. And from multiple people at a time... It really does, and can, all add up very quickly. And then, if I know someone else is having hard times, or a bad day, or whatever else, it really is hard to reach out. I'm not about to take over their dynamic with my issues, that feels rude, but I also sometimes just wish I could take a break. Take a break from being the person everyone leans on. Take a break from having to deal with everyone's negativity. I just want a bit of time where nothing goes wrong with any of my people. Both for their and my sake. Realistic? No. Would it be nice? Yes, it totally would.
