Hi Dawn Pogue, you hit the nail on the head, too many layers! The pressure can feel insurmountable at times. The pain we place upon ourselves is very tough to deal with, add that with the lack of understanding we may receive from those closest and it just hurts that much more along with feeling so isolated. Having a good support system is so vital. It’s taken my husband years to truly understand and share empathy- that has made a difference. I wish you the same with loved ones!
