Cope with me, if you will

Talking through what I’m feeling and thinking can help – sometimes I want someone to talk back and sometimes I don’t. Calling my mom works or leaving a long message for my boyfriend works too but only sometimes. My mom answers 98% of the time and she gets that my head is a little screwy and that sometimes I’m a little irrational so she can offer good advice or just listen and offer sympathy. Other times I want to talk out loud without someone talking back to me but I still want it to be going somewhere. Does that make any sense? I’ll text Jacob and tell him not to answer the phone so I can rant or cry knowing my words are going somewhere but that they can’t incite an argument or even a response (I left some very long, very rant-y ones after the most recent presidential election that I told him he should just delete. It’s nice. It took a long time for me to figure out how to reach out to other people for help but people who love me will always want to help if they can. I have to remind myself that people want to help me and that I’m not bothering them with my problems. Things I’ve learned, people. Things I’ve learned.

Comment or message me if you have some that have worked for you. I’ve only got my experience to go off of but this takes a village of crazy/awesome people.
