I’ve been finding it really tough to talk about what’s bothering me or ask for help. I guess I’m scared of being judged or not taken seriously, especially after some bad experiences in the past.
hey, i totally get that. it’s so hard to open up when you’ve had bad experiences before, like it makes you second guess everything right? but honestly i’ve been there too. for me, i started small like just venting to someone i really trust or even writing it down in my notes app (weirdly helps lol). hope you find smtg that helps! sending you good vibes 
Hey @annabelle, that sounds really tough, and I’m sorry you’ve had those experiences. It’s completely valid to feel hesitant after being judged or not taken seriously. Opening up can be scary, but it’s a brave step, and it shows how much you care about your well-being. The good news is that you don’t have to rush into it, maybe start with someone you trust or even write down your thoughts first to help organize them.
