A tough time alone

Hello there, I'm new to the group and The Mighty. I searched online for support groups and after a while I found The Mighty. It's been a tough day and I don't have anyone to speak to about it. I don't have friends either(not by choice) so i decided to share here. When overwhelmed and feeling stuck like today, I think of the word "Alexithymia" which means difficulty experiencing, identifying, and expressing emotions. I have struggled and fought through life in different ways, but it's another level/battle when you can't understand what's going on within. Clarity is important to me, but when I can't navigate myself, it's both crushing and humbling. Today just felt tough. Even with that, I still have so much to be grateful for. It's difficult feeling and experiencing opposite emotions at the same time. At times it doesn't make sense. Thank you @thomas_of_copenhagen for this community. People in this world, like you, who create spaces for others to share openly and safely are absolute gems. I guess that's it for now. I needed to vent. Can someone please tell me how to go to a new line without sending a message/post? I appreciate paragraphs. I tried Shift + Enter lol #Alexithymia #Depression #Neurodiversity
