I know people who go through similar things and feel that if they read it, they would definitely understand. It was really well-written.

Unless people are suffering the same pain, they cannot understand. However, most people do mean they will be there for you but don't know what to do to make it better. Have you ever asked them for help, for a chat? Some people don't know when things are really bad for you. I am speaking from experience. I am often in that black hole, but it is hard to ask for help when we don't know what will help us. If you can speak with a mental health professional, just someone who really understands from their training and who you can be truly open with is the best person. They are not friends, so you can tell them anything. Be well and be hopeful for better times. God Bless.

When I read this poem I thought about how I feel every day. People tell me they understand, that they know how I feel, but they don't. Sometimes the people who tell me this are the people who make me feel this way.
