Today, I learned some things that all of you need to hear...

Today, I learned...
That talking helps.
It feels like it won& #39;t help. It feels like there& #39;s nothing you could possibly accomplish by telling someone else what you& #39;re going through. But it does help.
Trust me on this one.
Talk. To. Someone.
Do it now.

That you have to keep talking.
Your instinct is probably to stop as soon as you start to feel better (I& #39;ve already taken so much from them!), but you need to keep going. You& #39;ve just let off the pressure; you haven& #39;t made progress yet.

That you need to give yourself permission to fall apart, even if it& #39;s a bad time. The point of falling apart is that it happens when it happens.
Sometimes, it& #39;s okay to break into pieces all over your friend& #39;s nice carpet, even when they& #39;re running late.

That you can& #39;t always be okay by the end of it. Sometimes, you need to be Not Okay. Sometimes, you need to be Not Okay for a while. And guess what? That& #39;s okay.
You don& #39;t have to put the pieces back together straight away.

That sometimes, other people know things you don& #39;t.
And sometimes, they don& #39;t understand you at all.
But sometimes, you just need someone to give you permission to cry, even if you don& #39;t think you should be crying. And to be nearby incase you need them.

That sometimes, you need to feel bad.
Sometimes, you find yourself feeling better, but you need to go back to feeling bad for a while.
Sometimes, you just need to feel bad. I don& #39;t know why, but you do.
Don& #39;t rush into feeling better too quickly.
