“I want to tell you, but I am afraid that you will
judge me.”
#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER
“I have so many problems, I
think I might burden anyone who knows
about them.”
#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER
“If you know about my problems, I am afraid
you will be
disappointed. ”
#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER
“I don’t see any other way
out. I assume you don’t
either.”

“I just want to stop the hurt.
I don’t want to live like this anymore.”
#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER
“You may be just a phone call away, but I
don’t want to disturb you.
Call me if you don’t hear
from me.”
#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER
“If I start to withdraw,
don’t take it personally
or turn your back on me.”
#HAVINGSUPPORTMAKESUSSTRONGER

someone listens.”

my life would just end.”
