i noticed someone who i know that is older post on facebook that they were in need of encouragement...but something about the post seemed very scattered to me. like they weren't composed as they were typing it.
so instead of commenting "thoughts and prayers <3" or liking the post with a hug emoji, i actually called to speak with them soon as i saw it ...and just as i suspected, they were breaking down crying....overwhelmed with all the responsibility they have right now taking care of their immediate family ...when they're older themselves with issues of their own
i talked them through what was clearly a moment of crisis and since then, i have hired help to come clean for them once a month. i just want them to feel as if someone's supporting them in some way ....clearly their issue was feeling as if they look out for everyone else while no one looks out for them.
she wasn't a hetero man but i think u get the point
that's what i mean by checking in and taking action
